Description
Canon's ELPH2 continues the Canon tradition of pushing the technology envelope another step further. This ingenious camera actually does a lot of the thinking for you! As the smallest zoom lens-equipped, Advanced Photo System camera, Canon's ELPH2 gives you a choice of three unique print formats: panorama, wide-angle, and classical traditional sizes. Its precision 23-46mm 2x power zoom lens allows you to get as creative as you want to be in composing your shots. You know you want your photos to be as color-accurate and realistic as possible, and Canon's exclusive Hybrid Autofocus keeps all of your photos remarkably sharp.Canon's state-of-the-art Print Quality Improvement (PQI) allows the ELPH2 to ingeniously communicate with your film, recording shooting data such as lighting, exposure and flash for the most accurate photo reproduction available on the market today. In other words, your photos will turn out exactly the way you intended them to! The ELPH2 is a paradox in camera technology, with big ideas all coming in a very small package!The kit also includes case, film and battery.
The Canon Elph 2 is one of the world's smallest Advanced Photo System cameras equipped with a 2x zoom lens. Even though it is constructed of durable stainless steel, it still weighs a mere 6 ounces and is about the size of a deck of cards. It is a fully automatic point-and-shoot that you can take anywhere.
The Canon Elph 2 has an all-glass aspherical lens with hybrid autofocus, automatic exposure control, a built-in flash with red-eye reduction, and intuitive film speed setting. It also offers a 10-second self-timer that is compatible with an optional RC-5 remote. Along with these foolproof features, you get the ease of use of the APS format, which includes drop-in film loading, midroll change, and an array of other user-friendly features. You can choose among three print formats--classic, group, or panoramic--as well as a number of date imprint options.
The Canon Elph 2 operates on a lithium CR-2 battery. This kit includes a battery, a carrying case, a strap, and a roll of film so you can start snapping pictures right away. The kit also includes a one-year manufacturer's warranty on parts and labor.

Great Little Camara
[ Posted: 2007-12-15 ]
Got this camera about 2 years ago before a trip abroad. It is fantastic! Takes great pictures, seems very well made, and small enough to fit in a shirt pocket. The 3 sizes of output are also very handy for landscapes, big group shots, etc.
I am not (and unless the technology changes, probably never will be) a huge fan of the digital camera. Not for print anyway, obviously if it is for web use digital is fine. But for actual physical pictures, digital just doesn't measure up. Look closely at a digital print. Unless the gear is VERY expensive, chances are you see: pixels!
They will have to pry my APS camera from my cold dead fingers. (I just hope to god they don't stop making film anytime soon, I hear some APS and 35m films are being fased out)
ANYWAY, this is a great camera. And I am very happy.
great panoramics

this would be the prime reason why i bought it. Everything else is mediocre. And it costs so much to develop. Not very good as every day camera(better go digital). However the panoramics are superb. I would take this camera on a trip in a conjunction with a digital camera.
Great camera, poor pic quality w/ Kodak film
[ Posted: 2004-10-04 ]
I've switched over to a Canon digi-cam, but I used the Elph 2 for a couple of years. During those years, pictures taken on on the Elph 2, just never turned out right. They were either grainy, suffered from color saturation, red-eye, you name it. That is until I discovered the magic of Fuji film. I had up until that time used Kodak Avantix APS film exclusively, believing that paying more meant better quality. Wrong! Fuji film is not only much cheaper, but my prints were awesome in every way possible. In fact, my last set of photos were taken on the streets of Las Vegas during the late-night hours, plus lots of indoor pictures in a dimly lit room with the shades drawn...but every picture turned out, if you will, picture perfect. I can't bash Kodak, because it's the only film I've ever used, and bottom line, it's the best. But when it comes to the Canon Elph 2, you should switch to Fuji film. I guarantee, you'll see the difference.
Best Point and Shoot on Market
[ Posted: 2003-10-07 ]
I bought this camera 3 1/2 years ago to take with me when I moved to Germany. It's small enough to fit in your jeans pocket, but makes cleaner and better quality prints than I've seen in a point and shoot camera. It was very durable and lasted several years of use overseas, and I'm still enjoying its compact size and light weight here in the states. If you are in any way intimidated by the digital camera age, and would like a small, versatile APS camera, this is it!
This is a GREAT Little Camera!

I have owned this camera for about 3 years, and am still surprised in the quality of photographs I get from it! We recently returned from Maui, where a photo can make or break a beautiful memory. Most, if not all, of our photos from this trip are frameable, they are SO beautifully crisp and clear! It does a great job in any of the three modes it offers. The film loads and unloads easier than any camera I've ever operated, and the flash is automatic, so you don't even have to think about it.
The only complaint I've ever had is that it doesn't zoom very far, but that is a small sacrifice for such great photos from this little wonder!
