Canon's new Powershot S230 The Micro Digital Camera Grows Up

by Howard_Creech Howard_Creech is a Lead on Epinions in Electronics, Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 10, Oct 22 '02
Pros: 3.2 Megapixels, ultra compact, Improved Control Layout, tough metal body
Cons: Poor low-light performance, poor battery life, weak flash, poor software.
The first micro digital camera I ever used was the nifty little Canon S10, which I really liked. Since the S10 I’ve used every one of Canon's digital elphs except the S330. I was really excited when I heard that Canon was updating my favorite elph,...

The mighty little ELPH

by aashok aashok is a Top Reviewer on Epinions in Electronics, Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 200, Dec 07 '02
Pros: Small Size, 3.2 megapixels, Metal body, AiAF focus system, CF memory, user friendly.
Cons: Only a 2X optical zoom.
This camera is perfect for general consumer use with many advanced functions, which most people will never use, but are nice to have. Right out of the box I noticed that it was exactly the same size as the S100. The buttons on the back were rearranged...

WHY I PURCHASED THE POWERSHOT 230:

I'm happy with it

by tch7 Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 500, Nov 01 '03
Pros: Picture Quality, Small size, Versatility
Cons: Price
Christmas 2001, I acquired a Nikon F65 (N65 in the US), which is a great SLR, even though I dropped it down a steep, rocky hillside and had to get $200 worth of repairs. However, I often go biking or walking around my house where carrying a camera as ...

Give this little Elph some real consideration!

by savoirfaire , Nov 14 '02
Pros: Smallest 3MP camera on the market; loaded with features; great picture quality!
Cons: Red-eye issues; more zoom would be nice.
With the release of the Powershot S230, Canon finally introduces a 3-megapixel camera to their popular "Digital Elph" line. The biggest draw for Canon's entire Elph series, of course, has always been the small and attractive stainless steel body which...

A Great First Digital Camera

by MediaLabGuy , Nov 05 '02
Pros: Compact, Lightweight, Takes great photos in daylight
Cons: Weak flash, poor battery life
The Canon Elph S230 is a small, solid point-&-shoot digital camera that is for you if you're looking to take photos without any hassle. It's the first camera in that size from Canon to sport a 3.2 megapixel CCD, enough to print reasonable quality 8x10...

Another winner from Canon

by tcervo , Dec 20 '02
Pros: Small size, movie mode, great auto-focus, 3.2 megapixels
Cons: Weak flash, very slow response when using redeye reduction
I've had an Elph2 APS camera for years, so when I decided to go digital, the Digital Elph line was a logical choice. I looked at the offerings from Sony, Minolta, and others, before deciding on the S230.

I'm not going to list every feature...

Small, Feature-Laden Elph is a Dynamo!!

by nils6041 , Apr 08 '03
Pros: Looks, speed, features, capabilities
Cons: Small, smooth exterior makes it prone to dropping!
Previous to this, the only camera I ever owned was a Canon Sure-Shot, purchased in 1982. It still works flawlessly.

With that having been said, I decided to make the jump to digital. Based on previous experience, I knew Canon would be a safe...

Almost a perfect camera

by chuchoi , Mar 10 '03
Pros: Small size, ease of use, features, rechargeable battery
Cons: Easily toggled video/camera switch, CompactFlash memory is slow
My wife received this camera as a birthday gift from my parents last fall, and we absolutely love it!

First of all, it's very small and built solidly. I realize that I never used my digital camera before because I didn't like lugging it around...

A novice review for fellow photography dummies

by bostonlover , Sep 28 '03
Pros: Small and compact, the proof is in the pictures
Cons: Mine didn't come with case, but that's the only complaint
First off, I know precious little about photography. If you're looking to read about specs and the nuances of digital photography, read the reviews from people who know what they're talking about. All I know is that this camera is durable, easy to use a ...

Love my Canon!

by joyce95 , Jun 08 '03
Pros: Small, compact size; takes great pictures; Canon quality; good flash; sleek design
Cons: A little heavy
I've had great experiences with Canons, so naturally, when it came time to buy myself a digital camera, that's where I looked. I wanted a small camera, something that would fit in my small purse, so that I could take it anywhere and take pictures...
