Review: Great until the Dreaded E16 lens error
by: S. Salter on date: June 20, 2007

-> Canon PowerShot SD600 6MP Digital Elph Camera with 3x Optical Zoom

Don't get me wrong, I loved my sd600.... when it actually was working. Everything was going perfect with my camera. A week after my friend had the E16 lens error, I went to Sydney to go see the Blue mountains. I take one picture of the camp grounds, turn it off, then turn it on 20 minutes later to have this error come up and ruin my trip at sydney. Of course when you are in a place with breathtaking scenery, you are going be be bummed about not being able to capture those kodak moments.

The E16 error is a common error known throughout canon cameras, and I only found out about it after my defect. It is not covered by the warranty because they think its misuse because particles like dust or sand can get in. THEN WHY GIVE A BEACH AUTO FEATURE, DO YOU WANT US TO BREAK OUR CAMERAS?!

My question is, how come so many other brands of camera dont get the lens error as common as canon does. 2 of my friends have the same model and theirs broke as well. One shelled out 150 to get it repaired and the other just bought a new camera. Cameras in Australia are very expensive and I bought this before I came here. The camera costs about 200 US when I got it, and the closest replacement was 400AUD, which is about 340 to 350.



All I have to say is, the camera is great during its life. But I weary of buying another canon for awhile. I rather go for a brand that may not have the best auto features like color swap and accent, but it at least works past 4 to 12 months. Even my minolta with a messed up lcd screen is still taking awesome pictures and I had it at the beach forever and this piece of crap dies in 3 months.Definitely staying away from canon, and it sucks cause i loved it when it was useful.

Review: Nice camera, horribly defective LCD screen

Had this camera for about 8 months. Takes nice photos and is very compact, however I will never be able to use this camera again, since as of this week the LCD screen has fractured for the second time. The first time I sent the camera in (this was about 2 months after purchase) I naively believed that the camera was under warranty (as it was supposed to be) and the screen would be fixed. Canon told me that it was my fault the LCD screen broke - even though the camera was kept secure in a padded camera bag and was never dropped. I tried fighting that but Canon was resolute, so I ended up paying around 130 dollars for the repair. In order to prevent this problem from happening again I attached a 1/8th of an inch plexiglass protective screen over the new LCD. That worked fine until last week when out of the blue, the same problem of a crack in the screen appeared again. Not going to repeat the same mistake twice... I've given up with Canon.

I love this little camera. Portable, the batteries last forever and takes great photos. I live and work in remote areas of Alaska and it's great to have a camera that fits in the pocket for fieldwork. Great for work and play. I recommend this camera to friends and coworkers. I generally charge two batteries when I know I'll be without power for a few days and I've never been disappointed by the battery running out at an inopportune time. Durable. Have dropped the camera in boats planes and dirt without issues other than minor scratches. Move mode is great too. Not the ultimate camera but just enough and dependable to get the job done.

Review: Horrible picture quality
by: Jacko5 on date: June 6, 2007

->Compare Canon PowerShot SD600 6MP Digital Elph Camera with 3x Optical Zoom

I have been a big fan of Canon and decided to buy another digital Canon camera. I bought my husband the S400 a couple years ago and I loved it so much, I used it more than he did. Because of this, he asked me to get my own so he could have his back. I was excited to find the SD600 at a very good price ($150 on clearance) and couldn't wait to use it. Not only did I get a good deal, but it's a very attractive camera with a bigger LCD.

I like being able to just point and shoot and never had any problems with getting great pictures from the S400, which is what a compact camera like this is for. The SD600 makes you really work for a good picture (I thought switching to manual mode would help), and even then, the quality is very dissapointing.

I was EXTREMELY dissapointed in this camera and have really tried to like it, especially since I got such a great deal. Every picture taken with a flash has red eye, even set on red-eye reduction. Forget taking pictures anywhere but outside in bright light. Pictures taken indoors, or in any type of natural lighting are either very grainy or blurry. Forget trying to use the high ISO in low lighting, the pictures are even more unbelievably grainy. But keeping the ISO lower produces very dark pictures in natural to low lighting.

I took my first pictures with this camera at my daughter's communion and was so dissapointed. The pictures were so unbelievably grainy, and if they weren't grainy, they were either blurry or there was not enough flash to capture a good picture. And this was in a church where half the church is windows and there was a lot of natural lighting. They were so bad, they actually looked like they were taken with my daughter's kid digital camera I bought her for $20.

I decided to try to take some more pictures to give the camera the benefit of the doubt, but have produced more bad pictures than good ones to warrant keeping this camera. I don't know what happened to Canon's quality when it comes to pictures, but now I'm bummed because I will have to find a new favorite.

I am sure I could get into all the manual controls a little more and maybe get some better quality pictures, but that would defeat the purpose of having a small point and shoot type of camera. If I wanted to mess with manual controls to get a good picture, I'd get an SLR.

I don't understand all the great reviews this camera has gotten. Do I just have a lemon or are others not as picky about the quality of their photos? I researched this camera and bought it because of the great reviews, but after going through the reviews here with ratings 3 stars and lower, I do see that I am not the only one experiencing bad quality photos. This camera is going back today.

My husband and I used some birthday money to purchase this camera last October (2006), and we recommend it highly. Easy to use for simple point-and-shoot tasks, but has lots of flexibility when you read the instructions and put the manual settings to use. We also use the video mode lots and have been happy with the results, as well as with the Macro setting. There are some things this camera can't do, though....you can't change the level of zoom in video mode once you begin filming, and there appears to be no feature which allows you to set the camera to take photos at regular intervals for a set period of time (i.e. every 10 seconds for a 24-hour period). But overall, this is a very good camera not only for everyday things like pictures of friends, but also if you are interested in more artistic photos but don't have loads of dollars to spend on a digital SLR.

I've used this camera for about 5 months now and continue to be impressed with its features--all of which I have not even begun to use.

I have used this camera to make a DVD yearbook for all of my students. Throughout the year, I have taken pictures as well as videos of various events, field trips, assemblies, etc. using this camera. All are quite clear and are making this DVD yearbook something that will likely be a treasured keepsake for years to come.

I bought a HP several years ago and was never happy with it because it drank batteries dry in a matter of minutes. After not even a half hour of taking pictures it would warn that the battery was getting really low.

The SD600 doesn't have a battery indicator, but it lasts for over a week at heavy useage and a few weeks at standby with limited use.

It has the same features as the more expensive SD630, but has only a 2.5" LCD instead of a 3"--that's it.

So my dad had a cannon sd300 that I thought for the price was an awesome little camera. when it came time to upgrade my cheap hp camera I quickly looked at cannon. My choice came down to sd600 and the sd630 which has no viewfinder hole. I am glad I choose the sd600 with the viewfinder because my battery was getting low at the zoo so I shut the screen off and took pics the old fashion way.
AS for a review, it takes great videos for a digital camera, takes very sharp pictures but in low lighting areas can get grainy but not very often. Battery life was great, lcd screen is very clear, and zoom is very nice.
So to summon it up great camera for any family, if your a camera pro you may want the sd700 series or 800 series.

This camera was worth every penny. It is the third Canon Digital Elph that I have used over the past 4 years. I still have my SD100 that I purchased in the spring of 2004. The SD600 blows it out of the water. The quality of the pictures is outstanding. The camera was taken on a trip to Italy a week after it was purchased. It returned with hundreds of great photos.

Note that it is worth purchasing a 1GB or higher memory card from the start. You will appreciate it considering that you will want to be able to take extremely high quality photos with the SD600. I recommend this camera 100% as a great point-and-click.

And let me tell you: it works great for baby shots; fantastic, actually. He sees the 'pre-shot' light come on and knows what's coming - and he's a ham for that camera. Great action shots, great video, great everything.

Review: SD600 is now the SD1000
by: James W. Kiley Jr. on date: May 16, 2007

->Discount Canon PowerShot SD600 6MP Digital Elph Camera with 3x Optical Zoom

Seems my SD600 has been replaced by the SD1000.

As far as the 600 is concerned, this is a great little camera.

In the past four years, I have replaced two other digital cameras; a 2.1MP Samsung and a 4.1MP Kodak. My Samsung lasted 2 years and my Kodak only lasted one. Coincidentally, my Samsung crapped out the same exact day that my Samsung video camera crapped out...EMP?

Anyways, I was a little hesitant paying $200+ for a camera especially since my track record, but read some decent reviews on CNET and took the leap. Wow! I am impressed.

Other than a small feature set (who needs em anyways), this is the perfect camera and I couldnt be happier. Perfect 1MB pictures with resolution of 2600x1200. With a 1GB SD card, this will give me unlimited amounts of space.

I actually picked this out because of the battery pack. I read somewhere that you can take 300 pictures on one charge up (no flash) or 160 pictures with flash. If one thing annoyed me was having to replace batteries all the time on my other cameras. This comes with a little pack about the size of a checkerboard square and a portable charger.

There is also a great video mode on it too. Although not DVD quality video and the .AVI format takes up a bit more space, I would not trade this for anything. I can now create nice little home videos without having to go out and buy another camcorder.

I am shocked at the audio range the mic picks up, although some ambient sounds are picked up and sounds tinny. I believe a 1GB card holds up to 58 minutes. But to be truthful, how many home videos do we have that only have boring fluff for 10s of minutes. This camera is perfect for the "have to get" video. I figure if I need a longer video then I can purchase a 4GB card. Anyways, .AVI format will easily allow me to convert it to any other format...thats always nice.

Just to add, we recently went on a 9-day week vacation. We took over 400 pictures and a dozen or show video clips worth 20minutes or so, and had to swap out batteries on the very last day. We had a secondary battery so that was cool but could have easily charged our original battery every night.

Bottom line...if you can get this model, great. If not, get the SD1000. The SD1000 actually is 7.1MP instead of 6 and I think it's running about $240 in the stores. According to my co-worker who I talked into getting one, it comes in two cosmetic flavors; a black face and a chrome face.

One word of advice if you decide to get this model or similar; Canon seems to have some type of image stabilization technology on it. When taking your pictures, be sure to half-click the button before actually snapping the shot. This seems to allow the picture to still itself. My wife took some very poor blurry pictures before I showed her.

->Buy Canon PowerShot SD600 6MP Digital Elph Camera with 3x Optical Zoom

I own a Canon 20D SLR digital with several interchangeable lenses, so I have an excellent comparison for judging the Canon SD600.
The Canon SD600 comes so close to the performance of the professional Canon 20D SLR, I use the SD600 for most of my picture taking. The 20D is now reserved for extremely difficult photos - like taking pictures of the moon (timed photos), high ASA night scenes, super-critical macro shots, etc. The SD600 takes every other type of photo with excellent results. Its compact size allows you to take it anywhere, and its features are too numerous to list and review. Its video mode is the best on any digital camera I have seen to date. (Btw, the 20D and other professional cameras don't even have a video mode) -- A note of advice: Spend the extra little bit to use a 2 GB or larger card so that you have plenty of room for 100s of photos and video clips as well. You'll be amazed with this camera. I rate it as "Best Buy" by far.

->Compare Canon PowerShot SD600 6MP Digital Elph Camera with 3x Optical Zoom

I have own many digital cameras and canon is the best when it come to cameras, I have never been disappointed yet!!

I tried to stay in the $200 range and bought a Kodak, Nikon, Sony, Fuji 1st and the pictures either lacked color, definition, most of all were just very disappointing. I returned them all and finally spent a little more and got a Canon A95 for $325 and the pictures were wonderful, never disappointed.

My A95 is now going on 4 years old, Nothing wrong with it I just wanted to upgraded, and this time I stuck with canon and got the SD600 Elph mainly for its size!! Surprisingly the SD600 cost less then my A95 did and has more MPs. and it takes better pictures then my A95 did, glad I upgraded.

But the best thing I like about the SD600 is the Color Accent option!! You zoom in on your child's face skin tone, snap the picture and there face will have all its color but everything behind them is black and white. You don't have to mess with a computer to get the technique. Also snapping picture using Snow and Foliage option gives your pictures wonderful COLOR!! I think some people have dislike for the camera because they never try the other option the camera has.

Also no one else has mention this in their reviews either. With Canon digitals you can plug it right to a printer (skip the computer) and print your pictures right out at home. I have never had to download any software to print picture off my 2 canon cameras. I just plug my canon right to my KODAK!!!!! Printer (Yes different brand printer form my camera and it works) then push the print BUTTON ON THE CAMERA, and the picture comes right out on the printer without using a computer. So Easy to use another reason I like canon over other digtials I have tried.

I really thought this would be a perfect camera for us but it really isn't. The photos are often grainy or blurry. I have taken many photos of my kids with the kids and pet feature and all of them turn out bad. The flash doesn't really adjust well and often things are too bright.

Canon's PowerShot digital camera is very appropriately named.
My previous camera was a Canon SureShot 90W. The PowerShot was loaned to me, with instruction manual, for a special one-month assignment, and I had to become comfortable and proficient with it overnight! The instruction manual is very well written. Due to its size, I was sceptical about its power to produce top-quality images. When I finished my assignment, I was hooked on digital and began to research digital cameras in the $200 price range, shopping from store to store and on the Internet. Since I already had the experience of using the Canon PowerShot, I had an advantage to make a fair comparison to other digital cameras. After extensive research, I purchased this camera and absolutely love it. The small size and light weight makes it easy to put in a jacket pocket or handbag. The movie feature is a bonus! Previously I used a camera when I went on vacation or for special occasions. I use this digital camera every day for both still and moving images to compare products, to document and/or resolve issues, and for fun! I keep it with me always! I highly recommend this great little camera.

I bought this camera as an upgrade for a 3 years old 4MP Kodak (which still works great!). We took this camera already 4 times for visit out of the country and we have no complain what so ever. I read the debate between those who prefer cameras that use regular AA batteries (like my old Kodak) and those favor cameras that have special rechargable batteries. I must say that I did not have any battery issues with this camera and one charge is usually good for 400-500 low resolution photos. I bought a spare battery on eBay and keep it charged with the camera, so I never find myself with an empty battery. The charger is universal, so it can be used anywhere around the globe, all you need is the right outlet converter.
The monitor is high quality and relatively large (2.5") and I chose this model over the SD 630 (3.0" monitor) because it also has a viewfinder, whihc is usfull in brgith light.
The photo quality is good, even when using the lowest resolution, and the video quality is great (for this type of camera), and I have not even started learning and using all the advanced features it has.
And the best of all - all these great features come in a very small body, which fits easily in a pocked or purse (although I would recomend using a carrying case for better protection).

Oh my goodness...have I gone to Heaven? I just purchased the SD-600 after multiple days of research. My Olympus C-720 did it's job for 5 years and it was past time to upgrade. I have a nine month old whom I'm constantly taking pictures of. I was so tired of over half of my pictures being blurry. Well....NO MORE BLURRY PICTURES!!! I've been taking pictures of her constantly for two days and there hasn't been a bad one yet. I know there is still so much more to this camera that I haven't learned yet. The color accent feature is amazing that lets you turn a picture into black/white except for one color...it's sooooo cool. Canon really outdid themselves.....I couldn't be more pleased. For anyone out there looking for a small, very eye-catching camrea that takes amazing pictures...buy the canon sd-600. You won't be sorry!

I have been researching cameras for quite sometime now. I recently went to a family function where someone had the SD 630. I was really impressed with the camera. Within minutes of having the camera I was able to know what I was doing and how to use the camera. While researching the cameras though, I decided to go with the SD 600 because it had the viewfinder. I think I definitely made the right decision, but for people like me who were having a hard decision, I don't think you will give anything up by not having the viewfinder, personally I just wanted it. I think the two models are very similar and that anybody would be happy with either of them. I have had the camera for a little over two weeks and I am so pleased with it. I went from a Kodak to a Canon and I will never go back to Kodak or any other camera. It is a great buy and I would recommend this camera to anyone.

I originally bought this camera as an alternative to my Canon S2 for when I needed something small to slip into my purse. I LOVE THIS CAMERA and find the S2 is left at home most of the time now. I recently returned from a trip to Germany and Italy. Heard from several sources about pick-pocketers in Rome so(again)left the S2 behind. Made me a little nervous to do that as I wanted to be sure to have great pictures from the trip. Not to worry....all of the pictures turned out great -- color accurate, clarity sharp, menus easy to figure out. Ok, maybe 5% of the indoor cathedral pictures were dark, and occasionally red eye showed up. Nonetheless, this is a great camera for those who want a camera that they can conceal easily yet take out quickly and get some great snapshots of people and scenery. Get a 2GB card and an extra battery and you're all set!

...then this is the camera for you! It's small, light, and extremely easy to use- perfect to take to the park, family function, or sporting event without being bulked up or weighted down like other cameras make you feel. I like that it has a 2 1/2" lcd screen that displays beautifully, as well as an optical viewfinder that is a "must have" in certain situations. The 3x zoom works well too, and the picture quality is outstanding, way better than the HP, Toshiba, and Kodak I have owned in the past. In addition, the video component is a major plus; one can get a pretty good quality half hour of vid with a 2gb sd card (not included, but I recommend you purchase one along with a spare battery). So in many situations, one does not need to tote the video cam along either. My only knock: no battery meter, but battery life thus far has been very good. In either case, buy the spare, it charges quickly and is inexpensive.

Built with a solid outer case, easy-to-use functions, and just enough features to add a little flare to pictures, this camera is definitely the one for you. I was able to figure it out without having to look at the manual. Just put it into your pocket and you (and the kids) are on your way!

->Deals Canon PowerShot SD600 6MP Digital Elph Camera with 3x Optical Zoom

I needed a small, relatively inexpensive camera to take photos of a long trip from the U.S. to India and looked at many different models. I settled on the SD600 because of its friendly price and good features and it did not disappoint me. Most of the operations are intuitive and easy to handle, the 6-MP resolution is excellent (up to print-reproduction quality) and the rechargeable battery was an excellent feature. Downloading photos into my computer was quick and easy.
I would recommend the SD600 to anyone with similar needs, with the clear understanding that any purchase represents a compromise between price and performance. This camera was exactly what I needed and it did the job. I expect to use it in many situations because of its small size and convenience.
My only gripe was the absurdly small (16-meg) memory card that came with it, enough for five high-res photos. I bought a 512 with 200-shot capacity, easy to find even in India, and realized that the razor/blade marketing calculation had been very carefully calibrated by Canon. A bit like print cartridges, perhaps . . .

I previously owned the Canon PowerShot SD400 and loved it but I gave it to my husband and decided to get an upgrade for myself. I have tried many of my friends' cameras, which are usually pretty good, but I love the Canon PowerShot the most.

I don't like the Canon PowerShot SD700 body but all the power shots are great. I have a friend who has it and I tried it out. I guess I got used to the feel and the body of the SD400 and since Canon kept it the same up to the SD600 I went with this one instead of the higher model which by the way its the same except for the size of the screen.

Great camera. Love my pictures. Compact and comfortable to hold. Very easy to use. This camera will please most people that want a simple point and shoot camera with great picture quality.

This camera is a great point-and-shoot choice. It's very compact (easily fits in a pocket) and takes great stills AND video! Resolution on both is impressive. Compared to earlier models, size and battery life are vast improvements. I recently took the camera on a European vacation and was able to take 100 shots in a day without running out of juice. It doesn't do a great job at night or in dim light, but it's as good as any point-and-shoot in that regard. Shots during the day are clear and bright and 3x optical zoom is strong for this size of camera. I definitely recommend this for any casual photographer or someone more advanced who wants a lightweight, bring-out-with-you-whenever camera.

I am nowhere near a professional photographer--I just wanted a small, functional, decent camera to carry in my purse when I go out. The SD600 fits the bill beautifully. It's easy to use without even reading the instructions, the pictures are crisp and the battery power is long. Admittedly, this camera can do way more than I use it for, i.e. all kinds of different shooting modes, video, etc, so if you are looking for something high-tech, this would probably work well for you too. My only complaint is that I had to buy an additional memory card for $25 because the card it came with only holds 8 pictures. But now I am satisfied and I plan on using this camera to capture great memories for years to come!

The camera is light and small, so it's easy to take with me. The view screen is large, despite the camera's size, which is nice. The pictures are great, and the auto focus feature makes taking them simple. It came with a USB cable to download pictures to my computer, and the software for that was easy to understand.

This camera...i got it for christmas, it is awesome.

Pros:
-small, easliy fits into my pocket
-cool options-like snow, kids&pets, fireworks, & many others
-takes GREAT vidoes, i was taping my sis n she waz talkin, when i replayed it, you could hear the radio playin in the background!
-doesnt take blurry pics, i had my bro jump ^ and down while i took a pic, NOT BLURRY @ ALL!!! (well unless u move ur hand holdin the camera)
-hard, i've dropped this thing sooo many times i cant count, not dents or scratches what so ever
-although it says 3x zoom, it can go farther than that, up to 12 i think, the photos still come out good, but not great, but still good.
-BIG SCREEN!! whopee!
-i think the LCD screen is best for taking the pics, cuz if you take it with the viewfinder u get smudges on the screen.

Cons:

-the screen scratches easily, while i was cleaning it off, a piece of plastic was between the screen & the paper towel, which scratched it.
-i would get a SKIN for this, i've jus go a case, doenst work as well as a skin would.
- screen smudges easliy

other than that i really LOVE this camera, my parents wanted me to get a nikon, but i chose the canon, with better results than my mom's nikon 10x zoom, my 3x does better than hers!!! it also does better than my dad's freekishly thin nikon! i'd also recommend playing around with the settings so u dont waste your memory all up. i aslo wouldnt waste time reading the booklets, its way easier to figure it out urself. if u want 2 change the setting on the pic, (while ur in pic mode) press the FUNC. SET (middle button)there u will have quite a few settings 2 chose from, and the same thing on the video setting.

Over all this is one BIG gift in a small package!

I've owned the SD600 for a few months now, and agree with most of the reviews, thus far - it's a great little camera. Of course, I am partial to Canons, because I consider them the best!

This afternoon, I thought it was time to write a review of my own, however. After finding a wasps' nest, I felt brave enough to photograph it in macro mode "up close and personal". On my third or fourth shot, the wasps had had enough of this intruder and zoomed in on me, sending me and camera backwards over steps and onto the concrete patio floor... still holding my PowerShot with the wrist strap. My poor camera bounced across the concrete steps and floor several times before I made it to safety.

The battery/memory card cover had snapped off in the process and the camera had powered off. Oh no, I thought, I'll have to invest in another one. But wait - the battery cover, although plastic, was unbroken and only needed to be snapped back on. With that on, the camera was able to power up again! Joy, joy, everything was working!

The end results were a few almost unnoticeable scratches to the front of the camera and four wasp stings to my arm and leg which are swelling as I type, but my SD600 is one tough little gem! Don't know if the SD1000 could be any better.

Review: 4 1/2 stars for the Canon SD 600
by: Earl Eschweiler on date: March 15, 2007

->Wholesale Canon PowerShot SD600 6MP Digital Elph Camera with 3x Optical Zoom

This camera replaces my aging Canon SD 110 (which still works). I chose the 600 because it does have an optical viewfinder as well as a very generous 2" LCD panel (2 1/2' diagonal). The 6 megapixel res is a perfect compromise between file size and picture quality. Colors are vibrant and true and are fully what you expect from Canon. Camera is about 3/4' thick, very "pocketable" and has a nice heft to it, The case is very smooth satin finished metal and seems, so far, to be stain resistant unlike my SD110. Not intended to replace a video camera, I was surprised how good the video actually is. A nice feature the 110 lacked is you can zoom the video while shooting. The 3x optical zoom is typical of the genre and a longer reach would be a welcome improvement. Controls fall very nicely under your right thumb and were very easy to master. My only negative and that's the reason I didn't give it 5 stars is the output access door. It rotates away from the camera body on a flimsy plastic hinge and it feels like it's going to come off. A separate card reader is recommended. Despite the one shortcoming, I highly recommend this camera

I previously had an Olympus digital camera, then a Sony after that. I liked the functionality of the Olympus; the menus were easy to navigate through and very user-friendly. However, the camera broke after only a year. As for the Sony, the zoom and picture qualities were good, but the menu was just too complicated for me. I always had to refer to the manual to understand what each symbol meant. And even after reading the manual, I was still confused.

The Canon PowerShot SD600 gave me the best of both worlds. It not only provides 3X Optical Zoom and easy-to-understand menus, but it also offers excellect video capabilities, large LCD display, and a panorama mode. I love this camera!! The manual was easy to understand as well...I actually enjoyed reading it and read the whole thing.

I would definitely recommend this camera. It's simple with not a lot of frills, but it comes with everything an average person needs.

I bought this camera just before going on vacation. It does a great job of managing light and color - you get the picture that you're seeing, not lots of black or lots of white. Since I was learning it as I was going - without much manual reading, most of the features are intuitive and easy to find.

I love this camera. This is my second digital camera in a few years. The screen is big, the pictures are crisp and fast- which is nice when you're trying to catch kids who are always on the move. It's small and light and the rechargable battery lasts a really long time.
I definetely recommend this camera.

My old camera was so slow that I most of my picutres were of the back of kids heads as they moved. It was terribly frustrating. I was secretly happy when my kids spilled juice on it so that I could get rid of it and get this new one.

->Discount Canon PowerShot SD600 6MP Digital Elph Camera with 3x Optical Zoom

I first bought this camera a few months ago; when it was stolen, I immediately picked up the same one again. It doesn't have some modern features like the image stabilizer, but for under $250, this is an excellent piece of hardware.

Like most digitals, its low-light performance is terrible, but for medium-lit and outdoors, I have no complaints. Large, crisp pictures, quick startup, no shutter lag, good rapidfire. It's small enough to fit in any pocket, and the lithium battery will give you 100+ snaps.

Downsides? Firstly, you have to take the battery out to charge it, and secondly, the three-position mode switch can mean you'll occasionally go into video mode when you meant to go back to the camera.

I bought this camera when I lost my SD400. This camera is even better.
When you install a high speed SD 1G or bigger chip, you get great pic's and fast return for you next picture or on 10+mode you can rapid shoot.
The camera is not for shooting long distances, but is great for everything else. The camera is small enough to put in your pocket which makes it really convenient to take everywhere. They include a lithium ion rechargable battery and a compact wall charger. I picked up an extra battery so I have one when rgw other is in the charger. The lithium ion will save you buckets of money over a standard battery camera, with out a doubt. It also comes with a large color screen and a view finder for when it is extra bright outside. The SD600 has video operations that are above avg. for a compact camera but not a replacement for a video camera.
Plain and simple. Great Camera, Great Pics, Compact Size, Easy to navigate, Easy to transfer pics, long rechargable battery life.

I was a little scared at first buying a camera through the internet with a company I am not familiar with. But from reading the reviews and the rate of it I got convinced and bought the Canon Powershot SD 600. I am very happy with the service that I got from this company. I got the camera in less than a week and I live in Michigan right now. The camera came in good condition and right now I am enjoying having this new camera. I had to buy a new digital one because I am ready to go on a spring break vacation and for sure I am satisfied on how this camera takes the pictures. It is a choice I made that I am happy with and hopefully if you are looking for a nice digital camera try the Canon powershot cameras.

I bought this camera in the first week of Jan, 2007 from Amazon for $215. Till then I was using 4 Mega Pixel Sony Camera , purchased in July, 2002.

This camera as the name (elf) implies is very compact and hence fits easily in my pocket. The usage of the camera and selection of various modes and other adjustments are very straight forward.

But picture quality is poor.
I took several pictures with this camera for last 3 months using various modes. But overall the pictures taken with the Sony camera appears much better ( no exaggeration!!) than this new generation camera.

Now I am planning to buy another camera as a gift, but I wouldn't buy this model or related models

I love the new screen. I love the new memory format. I looooooove the exceptional battery life. I love how fast it is.

This is my third elph, and my only complaint is that the sunlight manual setting washes out the colors. I have to switch to automatic in bright sun to get the punchy colors I used to get on sunlight manual. Then switch back to manual for shadowy areas.

Nonetheless, that small quibble aside, if I had the money, I'd buy one of these cameras for everyone I know. I'm looking for a reason to buy one for hubby, as I'd like to retire his slightly older Elph.

Review: Another fine Cannon product, Amazing battery life!
by: Jeffrey Heaton on date: February 24, 2007

->Lowest Price Canon PowerShot SD600 6MP Digital Elph Camera with 3x Optical Zoom

Canon makes the best cameras out there. They are the way to go. Battery life is awesome. No need to get a second battery. I've taken 400+ pictures with only one charge. I was using the LCD at times. The battery is way better than any other camera I've seen.

The camera comes with two manuals. A basic and advanced. You can quickly get going with the basic. Also the camera seems to have way fewer settings than the previous A80 model. This is not the case, using the menu system you can still get to many advanced features, the controls are just minimized to what you are usually doing. Things such as night, flowing streams, shutter speed etc are all accessible through the menus.

The stainless steel construction is very nice. I've owned plastic only cameras that just did not hold up as well.

Just purchased this for travel purposes. I didn't want to put a lot of money into a very small camera with the inherent risk of loss, theft, damage etc. that comes with the hustle bustle of travel. I also wanted a camera that would take great pictures for less money than the more full featured competition. The pictures from this camera are impressive and it has enough features to make photography interesting without making it too complex for my fellow travelers to operate effectively. I looked at Sony, Casio, and a few others and I'm glad I made this choice. All of the pros and cons mentioned in other reviews seem to hold true... view finder only gives you 80% of what the lens sees ( at least it has a viewfinder)and the battery is proprietary but the pictures are worth a thousand words.

My first impression of the camera was that it looks like a very well made camera. Nothing cheap went into manufacturing. I am still learning all the functions of the camera, the pictures are really good, and it is small. I did purchase a tripod when using the macro function because it will pick up any movement of the camera in macro without a tripod. If you are looking for a small camera that takes great pictures, you will love this camera.

Canon is the way to go, like it or not they make the best cameras out there. Some reviewers on this site and others say you cannot take long exposure (night, flowing streams, etc) pictures with this camera. Please read the advanced manual not just the basic. Yes this camera comes with 2 manuals. In manual mode you can indeed control the shutter speed, all the way up to 15 seconds!

As for the battery life, it's outrageous! I've taken up to 450 pictures on one charge and that's using the LCD at times. I don't know how they did it, but the battery life is miles above the rest.

The final thing I love about this camera is the stainless steel construction. My last camera was plastic and just didn't hold up. You can tell this camera could survive a drop, not that I'll be testing that theory, I baby this camera. I can tell it will be with me for the next 5 years at least.

So far I am very pleased with this camera. Its slim very lightweight and reasonable easy to use. That is it will take a bit to get used to, but its not difficult and cannon has excellent support. Its a well designed camera that can easily fit into your pocket. Lots of positives, but the nons would be the following: Takes a bit of time to take the actual picture, but this is very common with digital cameras. Also not the greatest in darkish conditions so if you are a perfectionist these are things to keep in mind. So far I really like this camera very much and am very glad to be an owner.

Happy picture taking and remember to make memories and don't forget to say "I'm sorry" when appropriate. These are some of the most healing and powerful words we can all say genuinely more often.

Great camera!! I have used this a lot and i am really satisfied. Handy,easy to shoot. However, there are 2 probleems which can be dealt with:

2. There are no manual adjustment options. But, then cost is also less than the A series so this can as well be overlooked.

I had gotten this for myself at thanksgiving (black friday) at best buy and i got a warranty for a good price too

It was the best thing ever, the battery life is amazing (it comes with its own battery and charger) so you never have to buy batteries

It has great picture settings and is about the size of a deck of cards, i got a case to protect it and its been great to me ever since

It also comes with the adapter to upload them on to your computer or any computer. If you download the extras from the disk to your computer you can make those giant horizontal pictures with the edit program but you dont need to download everything if you dont want to

Its nify and a super good deal I use it everywhere and for everything.

I also love the fact that it takes great videos and great pictures too

I suggest you get a bigger memory card then the standard one that comes with it so you can take alot more pictures and longer videos

I gave it 5 stars because I love it every day and use it basically everyday. The screen is the right size and the picture quality is great.

Overall it is a great package and i do suggest a case and a bigger card but its a great deal!

Good features:
(1) Awesome design; tiny, seemed sturdy, easy to fit in any pocket
(2) Large LCD screen
(3) Long-run battery
(4) Wonderful video function (I even don't need to buy a camcorder!)
(5) Acceptable/good quality of picture, especially outdoor.

Bad features:
(1) No TRUE manual setting; you can not adjust the aperture or the speed. It is simply a point-and-shoot camera. DON'T expect more options from this camera
(2) Photos taken indoor without flash exhibit skewed color

I would recommend this camera to those who just want a take-around pocket camera and don't want to know more about and deal with photographic terminology.

I'm giong to try more night shots soon. The only con is that I wish it had a bettery status bar. It only starts flashing low batt when basically its done.

I got this for Christmas and have used it a lot since then. It really takes great photos, and if you know how to take photos, I'm sure you can do better with it than I. I have taken many nice photos at both night and day with the flash. Without flash, I'm not able to get the best photos, but a lot of that is me and the lighting I'm around. I highly recommend this camera. Videos are very nice too, as long as they are taken in an area that is well lit.

2 Biggest complaints:
- Videos taken in the dark don't turn out because there is no added light
- No battery meter, so you don't know battery will die until about 10 seconds before it does when it flashes an icon

I've had my camera for a little over a week now and LOVE it! I haven't played w/every single feature but have tested quite a few settings, zooming and such. I only have produced a few blurry shots...other than that, the shots are crystal clear! They looked great on the camera as well as when I upload them onto my computer. Also as a side note (since I'm a graphic designer), I always put the pics I take into photoshop to touch things up and to do auto levels. I barely need to touch the photos. Some needed a little help w/the lighting but I was very impressed! The video part of the camera works wonderful as well. So far, I've just taken videos of my puppy doing his tricks. They turn out wonderfully and look awesome playing the videos back on the computer. The only drawback I have seen thus far is not knowing when the battery is going to die...until right beforehand. That happened to me while I was at my company's winter party. Since the charger is farily compact...I will remember to bring it w/me when I goes places (the battery does last quite awhile!) I also bought the SanDisk 1 GB Ultra II Secure Digital Memory Card and it works fabulous! It holds a multititude of pics as well as video and uploads to my computer easily and quickly. I am using the camera for personal pics as well and taking pics to use for my job. I highly recommend this camera :D

Almost every photo of people has a problem with "horrible red eyes".
And of course, the auto red-eye reduction option is turned on, but it has no use. The worst thing is I just sold my lovely Sony CyberShot camera to buy this useless Canon SD600. With my Sony CyberShot I did not have any red eye problems. I am completely dissapointed by this Canon SD600. I wish I could get my old dearly Sony SyberShot back!

a capable and user friendly camera. it has a big lcd screen; takes great pics in a variety of lighting situations, and it comes in a small and solid package. even the software is a step above our last camera's, making storing pics on our computer simple and quick --it automatically downloads and sorts the pics into folders based on shooting date.

I looked around at several stores and looked at quite a few reviews before I selected the SD 600. I am not disappointed at all. My only suggestion would be to make sure you read the manuals (there's three or four). I had always considered myself tech savvy. I had fun just playing around and trying different things, but it wasn't until I actually read the manuals that I learned exactly what this camera could do.

I ordered this product from Amazon but then was informed after the order that the product was out of stock and unable to ship. When I called to review order, they were unable to cancel the full order and upon transferring to the call center mgr for further review, was disconnected. This is the 2nd product in recent months that i've ordered and now found to be out of stock with amazon.......buyer beware, I have considered Amazon reputable in the past for info and order satisfaction, but this is not the case....this is not a one time event.

The product is rated low, cause i have not been able to get this from Amazon.

Great camera for the price. I opted for the smaller screen of the 600 vs. the larger 630 because the 630 doesn't have a good place to grip the camera without getting prints all over it. And the 600 is all metal - the 630 has a plastic back. I recommend actually holding each camera in-store before choosing.

Review: Good product, but a little disappointed

The overall of this product is nice. There are a few minor disappointments. My major difficulty right now is the use of the "automatic" mode. For some reason I'm getting a handfull of blurry pictures. Those can be fixed, but it still is a little disappointing, too. The other thing is that the view screen is very nice; however, sometimes the picture looks blurry on the screen, but when you zoom-in, you realize that it's actually quite crisp.

Also, I've noticed with the video option that the sound is a little delayed during play-back. That could also be an issue with my computer.

I love the looks, the size and the price.

I love the size! I wanted a camera I could throw into my pocket or purse for anytime photos with good quality results. I am very happy with it. Although the big talk now is about image stablizers which this does not have. The battery does last a long time which is a big plus.

I got this one today because I was exchanging my Polaroid one that didn't meet my standards. This one met and went above my expectations. There are so many shooting options, fast charge between photos and beautiful images. I had a Canon A80 so I knew Canon's took great photos. This one is definately a good deal.

Review: excellent value for price

->Sale Canon PowerShot SD600 6MP Digital Elph Camera with 3x Optical Zoom

This is my third Canon digital Elph. My four year old S230 still takes great photos, but I passed that camera on to my ten year old nephew and bought the SD600 for myself as a replacement (at half the price of what I paid for the S230....). Excellent battery life. Photos are terrific. I appreciate the higher ISO (up to 800) which allows more photos to be taken with ambient light and no flash...my prior limit on the S230 was 400 ISO. The flash tends to produce washed-out facial tones if the subject is too close to the camera, so I try to use ambient light wherever possible. I keep the camera on Manual mode, but have yet to experiment with various shooting modes such as kids, beach, portrait, etc. Have used Macro mode with excellent results.

A friend bought the SD800. The higher zoom is nice, as is the Image Stabilizer system, but it's also twice the price. For the average photographer, and even for those skilled in digital photography who prefer some manual controls, this is outstanding value for money spent.

Sure Cannon has added a few extra bells and whistles to the newer, larger models of this line, but I almost want to buy a "spare" SD600 just so I'll still have one if anything ever happens to this one (my slightly older SD450 serves that "spare" role very well, and the newer, "hardened" screen on the 600 is a much needed plus!). Take the time to learn all the menu choices, and you can take great pictures with this camera in just about any situation! If you're an upscale SLR purist, this might not sell you, but for anyone else, this one is all you'll ever need!

Review: I only buy Canon

->Comparison Canon PowerShot SD600 6MP Digital Elph Camera with 3x Optical Zoom

Even before the "digital revolution" I always bought Canon. I am a teacher who for many years was the sole photographer for a middle school yearbook where I also used Olympus and Pentax cameras. At one point I switched to Canon and I never went back . . . mostly because of the ease of use and dependability. Since the world has gone digital I have continued to buy Canon. This particular camera meets our needs perfectly because of its low price and the fact that we never produce prints larger than 8 X 10. We are also particular as to the quality of the prints and have never been disappointed. We shoot in many different conditions and environments and the automatic settings and adjustments serve our purposes just fine. Another added bonus is that we use Macintoshes which makes the downloading of photos into Iphoto absolutely seamless.

I bought this camera for my daughter, who is going to college as a visual art major, and it works beautifully for her purposes! Many of the extra features are very useful and the quality is excellent. I chose this for her because I have been using a Powershot A40 for a number of years now and I have been very happy with it. I highly recommend this product!

This camera is great. It is a very stylish and compact, great for vacations or just keeping it in your pocket for special events. This camera is very versatile. You can use it for just quick and easy one touch shooting or you can get creative. If you really want to get creative, this elph has a large feature set that is easy to use and menus that are simple to navigate. The features are varied and a lot of fun if you want to get creative. I am really surprised how much fun taking pics can be with this camera. The last camera I bought was a cheap Kodak digital about 2 years ago. the thing was stodgy and I only used it when I had to. The elph is totally different and makes quick clicks fun and easy. I give this product my highest recommendation . . . Friends and family are starting to get used to always seeing me with it in my hands.

I am a fan of SLR cameras and own the Canon Rebel Digital SLR, so adding a point and shoot to my collection was a big step. I did a lot of research into the different cameras out there and went with this one for the following reasons:
1) The price was right (I wanted to spend enough to get quality, but not break the bank).
2) It had its own rechargeable battery (no AAs to burn through).
3) It was super small/lightweight (it was going to live in my diaper bag so that I could capture all the cute moments of my new son's development).
4) It still had a viewfinder (those screens are hard to use under certain light conditions).
5) It had at least 6 megapixels (I love to adjust my pics with Photoshop).

Based on these desires, the Canon SD600 has met my expectations.

Having used the camera for a month or so now (it was a Christmas gift to myself), I would say that the camera is very easy to use right out of the box if you leave it in the Auto modes. If you are interested in using all the special features the camera has to offer, plan on spending at least two hours reading through manual and practicing. The manual is a bit overwhelming. A lot of the features are only accessible through pushing a lot of buttons and going through several screens, but once you go through the manual it is pretty user friendly (for a person up on such things). If you aren't tech-savvy, this might not be the camera for you.
