from Costco Summary: What a great investment. One year of extreme conditions for such a fancy looking camera..heat, humidity, sand, salt air, dust, drizzle, snow, bellow freezing temperatures..all the while being tossed arround my nap sack or in the glove compartment of my car, being dropped on all sorts of surfaces..hardwood, marble, concrete, interlocking, ice and so on. One year of great photos and problem free operation. I've recently have had to buy a new case for it because its cheap leatherette case is ripping in so many places from keeping the camera in less than ideal stowe.
I dont know what those other ELPH owners did to get the on button triggered..but that never happened to me once. I hardly think it was a design flaw if someone is mishadleling a product. It only stands to reason that ANY product would start falling appart and produce less than stellar results if you bash it about or not take the time to read the instructions.
Since I first bought it I've converted 5 of my friends to convert to this and the newer cannon ELPH products such as the ELPHjr, ELPH2, Digital ELPH, ELPH Z3. After seeing all my great photos they were sold and have been quite happy with thier ELPHs Strengths: take anywhere size
great snap-shot photo quality
remote and tripod that fits in your pocket..great combo when your in a busy touristy place or on a secluded local
desig..lasting cool looks
durability/dependability Weaknesses: noisy startup and zoom
slow start up and focus
still waiting for the flash to break...but so far so good..if it everdoes..its just annother excuse to buy another ELPH
taiwan quality still bothers me..but so far so good..other than the black plastic fading into a greeny greyish black from extended use under the sun/elements
drains battery quickly..can only be expected from use of flash, motorized elements like zoom and the start up....and so on Similar Products Used: Canon products: REBEL, SURE SHOT CLASSIC, W-1
Size: DiMAGE Customer Service: other than a new case because the old one was so badly trashed from all my travels and useage(that was $10, by the way)..I havent had to spend a cent
