Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Canon Elph Jr. APS Camera

Customer Review: Great camera to carry all the time
Summary: 5 Stars

Drawbacks: no mid-roll film change ability; APS film is 24mm and doesn't enlarge as well (but is necessary for a camera of this size); APS is expensive to develop; camera will not retain the "no flash" or "fill flash" setting after it is turned off (returns to auto-flash); camera is spot focus (actually is an advantage if you realize this ahead of time); no ASA 800 film (but is this a disadvantage?).

Advantages: easy to carry (perfect weight, size); glass lens for clarity; C-41 black & white film is available; lots of functions like exposure & focus lock, time exposure, fill flash (this importance can't be stressed enough), and for some unexplained reason everyone considers it a "neat" gadget. Even the airport security fellow played around with it when I forgot it was on my belt and almost walked through the metal detector. He turned it over and over while saying "Thats a camera. I've never seen one so small."

Hints: Use 400 speed only due to the size; use the exposure/focus lock feature since the camera is "spot" focus only and you might get many ill-exposed & fuzzy pictures if you frame your subject off-center (read the manual); use a quality developer (I found a local private 1 hour place that turns out good stuff. A discount developer will make this camera look like a dud. I almost sent mine back after the first roll, but then tried another lab); buy one of those... wire tripods and you won't regret it (you'll get yourself in vacation pictures too since it also carries in your pocket); don't expect miracles with the small flash so plan ahead.
