Canon Elph 240 APS Film Camera

Pros: Size
Cons: APS, poor user interface

My family has been using a Canon Elph for about 18 months. The initial attraction was its small size --- small enough to comfortably fit into
a shirt or pant pocket. The different aspect ratios offered by APS was
a small added attraction.

Size


This is the key feature of this camera. It is no bigger than a credit card is around the edge. It is only about an inch thick, but even so, it is still very small. What is amazing is the amount of features packed into this little...

Pros: Compact, easy to use,
Cons: Flash does not close

I've been using my Canon Elph now for over two years. When I first saw the info about APS processing, I thought "How cool is that -- different size prints." I have always been intrigued by panorama shots, and the fact that APS offered this...

Pros: Small, sleek pocket-sized styling; excellent lens technology; zoom lens; looks and feels good; time, date and stock picture titles electronically imprinted
Cons: Flash can pop open while in case; APS processing more costly;

As the alumni director at a university, I am constantly on the road hosting alumni events. Schlepping around even a small point and shoot camera to record the events becomes a hassle. With the cigarette pack-sized Canon ELPH, I just slip it in my shirt...

Pros: Size, photo quality.
Cons: Panoramic function misleading.

The best thing about the Elph is the fact that it is teeny-tiny and looks like a spy camera. Your friends will envy you and strangers will think you are exotic and mysterious when you pull out this sexy brushed steel masterpiece.

You can...

Pros: Small, great pictures, varied sizes of pictures, negatives are protected
Cons: battery is expensive

I received this camera as a birthday gift from my husband who knows I have always loved to take pictures. Many of my friends make fun of me because I carry the camera literally everywhere I go. But, see, before I had my Elph, my camera was big and...

Cons: Gradually wearing flash retraction, accidental on/off button...

Pros: Small & Handy, Many Flash Mode, APS Features
Cons: Buttons at the wrong place, APS's expensive

This is one of those great little cameras that can go anywhere you go. I got it from Hong Kong (it's called IXUS there) and have been using it for millennium parties and other occasions. This camera is so small. It's no bigger that a pack of cards. I...

Pros: Tiny size. Metal body. Inherent advantages of APS film format.
Cons: Bad flash. So-so lens quality. Inherent limitation of APS film format.

Small is cool
"It's so small!" Whip out the Canon Elph and hear this comment from someone everytime. Now, being a man, that's not typically a comment you enjoy hearing upon whipping something out, but for cameras, it's cool. The metallic...

Pros: Looks cool, ease of use, small size.
Cons: Quality of pictures could be better.

Canon's new Elph camera is a great buy for the amateur photographer. In no way is the camera groundbreaking as far as the quality of pictures is concerned, yet it is groundbreaking in other ways.

First of all, as you already know, the Elph...

Pros: Compact size, sturdy, elegant
Cons: Average picture quality, difficulties in loading film

I have had the pleasure of owning 3 APS cameras. It hasn't been a year yet since I caught this APS love 'bug' but within the short time frame, I managed to purchase 3 APS cameras and taken hundreds upon hundreds of photos.

The first one I...

Pros: durability, small size, and ease of use
Cons: limited zoom

I was given this camera as a gift and can say that I am absolutely impressed. My expectations for the camera were not let down. On my trip to Europe this past summer, I brought along the Canon Elph and took pictures of the canals of Venice, Italy and...

Pros: Small, lightweight,
Cons: Picture quality, price of film & developing

I bought this camera because I was tired of lugging around larger point and shoot cameras. The Elph fits easily in a jacket or shirt pocket and even clips to the belt without looking too geeky.

On the plus side, the Elph is fun and easy to...

Pros: Easy to use, Great Pictures, Fits anywhere
Cons: Not digital, but that is not a huge problem

When it comes to APS Cameras there is not doubt that the Canon ELPH series is top of the line. In just about any picture related technology, you should always check the Canon made items first...BUT...the question is not whether or not the ELPH is the...

Pros: Great Pictures, Super Small
Cons: NONE!

I didn't actually buy this camera. I gained access to it when I married the love of my life. This is the greatest little camera. You can literally fit it in your pocket, and it won't even be bulky. And it takes SUPER pictures. I am not a...

Pros: very compact, durable, makes great pictures
Cons: I have a few pet peeves with the way this unit handles film

If you're used to big, bulky 35mm cameras this one will take a while to get used to. There is quite a bit of automation in how this camera works, and its initial setup is rather complicated. After one becomes acclamated to this camera it is really a...

Pros: Convenience, Reliability, Image Quality
Cons: None

I've been involved in photography for 35 years as both a hobby and semi-professionally. The Elph is perhaps the most elegant solution yet created for CERTAIN photographic needs. Here's the scooop...

Pros: Size, APS format flexibility, design
Cons: Flash damaged easily, red-eye results: poor

Pros: lightweight, small, compact, stylish, and hip!
Cons: APS film is expensive

--I don't know much about cameras, especially the lens quality and the zoom stuff. But then again, most people who are in the market for a camera aren't experts on cameras either.

--So how do we pick what camera to buy? Being a regular camera...

Pros: None
Cons: Broke down 20 days after purchase

We bought the Elph. We paid full retail for it. It stopped working altogether after 20 days.
We climbed the Canon "food chain" and they never repaired nor replaced it.

After it broke down, we called the Canon hotline and were...

Pros: Simulated through lens view, 2x zoom, 3 print size, output similar to SLR cameras
Cons: Not for a beginner photographer, slow exposure time, flash servo, NO MIDROLL CHANGE!

My little Elph was purchased the day it was on the shelves and is still functioning but with some minor glitching. At first it was taking lousy pictures because I treated it as a typical point n shoot. This camera is everything BUT point n shoot. It...

Pros: Small, easy to use
Cons: on-off switch can be accidentally hit; broke after 1 year

I had a Canon Elph for a year and carried it everywhere with me. It's a great camera and took great pictures. However there were several problems:

2.The on-off button would always get...

Pros: small, innovative
Cons: heavy, weak zoom lens

Being a long time Noriko Sakai fan, I went out to purchase the Canon Elph once I saw that she was endorsing it. By the way, Noriko Sakai is a Japanese superstar and it's called the Canon Ixus over there. Noriko Sakai is not the only reason I went to buy...

Pros: Size-it's really tiny. APS film. 2x Zoom. The recent price cut makes it a great buy.
Cons: Sometimes the size is a setback.

I bought an ELPH because I loved its compact size and sleek styling. Contained in its small stature, it packs a powerful 2x zoom lens that I find fits most of my needs. A larger zoom would have been nice, but its size causes the limit. I love the fact...

Pros: small, sleek, modern, you can adjust the picture size, you get a photo index card with developing - so, hassle-free reprints!
Cons: more expensive than some of the 35mm cameras, more expensive film, and expensive film-developing.

The Canon Elph is about the size of a pack of cigarettes. It's convenient enough to carry in your pants pocket, coat pocket, or purse. It's really small for a camera, and it looks really good when you whip it out when almost everyone else is still...

Pros: Excellent zoom, multiple focus points
Cons: Expensive

I was in a jam when I bought this camera. My first APS camera, a Nikon, died on me on a trip. I needed a new one ASAP!!!! Well my Nikon had a powerful zoom, and I wanted something similar. So the person from the camera store recommended this...

Pros: Small size, versatile photo sizes, zoom lens, APS ease of use

Pros: Tiny
Cons: Tiny

When my boyfriend inadvertently told me that he got me a camera, an APS nonetheless, I was a bit disappointed. I thought the cost of APS film and developing would be a hassle and too costly. But I was wrong.

This camera is very small,...

Cons: Dinky Flash, Pricey APS Film, just wish list stuff nothings perfect though this is close

Pros: Compact, Simple and Easy to Use
Cons: Pop Up Flash Doesn't Always Pop Up; Everybody Wants One

When I was a little kid, I have always remembered my dad owning a Canon Camera. I do not remember the model number or anything, but to this day, he still uses the same camera. The camera is older than me, so it shows me the reliability and quality of...

Pros: Size
Cons: Poor durability

I have owned the original Elph camera for a little over a year now.
Initially, I found it very convenient. I tended to grab it to "just bring along" on many occasions since it would fit easily into just about any pocket. Consequently, I...

Cons: APS format, feeble zoom...

I just bought this little fellow for my trip to Asia.
I develop my own pictures (have a darkroom at home) and have a variety of other cameras which I use regularly.
What attracted me to ELPH was bulid quality (most other APS cameras are made of...

Pros: Small, Durable, Sleek and Sexy
Cons: VERY EXPENSIVE, low picture quality

I bought this camera because of the tiny size. When I bought it 2 years ago I was amazed at how small a camera it was. Not only is it small but it used the new APS film. I though I was on the tip of the ice berg as far as cameras went. But when I brought...

Pros: Great overall package
Cons: None that I can think of.

The Cannon Elph series camera has to be one of my best investments. I always regretted not getting enough pictures of my friends in high school and I absolutely hate looking like the dumb tourist; so to resolve my problem, I looked to this pocket size...

Pros: easy to use
Cons: bad zoom, simple, expensive, expensive film

I have had this camera for about a year and a half now. In the beginning i was thrilled with it, because it was small ans extremly easy to use. The drop in loading made the ease of it wonderful. Also the size, the size is wonderful, you can take it...

Pros: good landscape camera
Cons: bad for candid shots

I received this camera as a gift a couple of years ago. I didn't use it a lot at first because of the expense of the film and processing. But, after hearing the advantix system delivered higher quality photos, I gave it a shot, (no pun intended!) I...

Pros: small cool nice optics 3 image formats
Cons: longer zoom range would be nice

After years of lugging around my big Nikon just for snapshots I came across the ELPH. I was always in need of something to catch those images you see when you dont have your camera and say I wish I had my camera.
this camera is the one to keep in...

Pros: tiny, compact, easy to carry around and use
Cons: nada--possible the pop up flash

Cons: Film and Processing are expensive

First off, I've been a bit of an amateur photographer for about 5 years, after taking some photography at the high-school level, and more recently, taking a B&W course at our local community college, so I have a few SLRs both 35mm and Medium format....

Pros: Solidly built stainless steel camera
Cons: Flash doesn't always flush close.

Pros: Small, Light, Awsome Options
Cons: Expensive

The Elph is so cool. I just got one and I love it. It is so small it fits anywhere. I can keep it in my pocket or in a glasses case. It even has a decent zoom which one would think that a camera so small wouldn't. I love to show it to my friends and...

Pros: small size, cuteness
Cons: small size, difficult to use

I bought the Canon Elph mainly because it was cute and I had a gift certificate. I needed a new camera and I wanted an APS. Thus far, I have had one roll of film developed. I really like the APS functionality of the three different sizes of shots....

Pros: small size, clear pictures, zoom, fits in your purse

Pros: small, compact, easy to use
Cons: Advantix has no advantage

I must admit, this has been a handy camera that has not given me any problems yet. When anyone ever sees the ELPH, they marvel at the size. I can easily fit it into my back pocket, in my purse, or a small pocket of my backpack. It's compact, and...

Pros: Size, Loveliness,Viewfinder
Cons: Flash sticks up

Having been a keen, if not competent, photographer for years, I had built up an impressive array of 35mm equipment – all of it very good, and all of it very heavy.

So, when we visited friends in Hong Kong, and they showed us their new camera –...

Pros: small, easy, versatile
Cons: heavy

Pros: Small, easy to carry, sexy
Cons: need to protect the "On" button, and poor action shots

I have 2 complaints with my ELF. The first is that it seems to take up to two seconds to decide to take a shot from the time I press the shutter button. The thing is probably deciding how to focus and what shutter speed, but the result is that it is...

Pros: small and very, very cool...great design
Cons: needs a longer zoom

A good small camera. Tiny enough to take everywhere. Takes good pictures although I have seen better results from other APS cameras.

Good features: very small - I can carry it in my front pocket
most of the benefits of...

Pros: Quality of pictures
Cons: Price of film

One of the most important aspects of any camera, and the most difficult to judge when browsing the shelves of an electronics store, is what kind of pictures the camera will actually take. I received an elph as a Christmas present along with 5 rolls of...

Pros: small, durable, can change frame sizes
Cons: shaky in low light, expensive

I received the Canon Elph 1 year ago as a Birthday present from my father. It is a great little camera. I has a steel case which makes it durable and the zoom lens and flash fold themselves away so you are left with a silver box the size of a pack...

Purchased one of the first Canon Elph cameras and was directly responsible for the sale of several others. When I showed it to friends at work or relatives at family outings, several purchased them too. My only complaint is with the "pop-up"...

Pros: Affordable, compact, and easy to use
Cons: None that I've encountered, film's a bit expensive

Cons: I got a green one?

The Cannon Elph is by all means a great camera. It includes a syllish extra hard case and utilizes the advanced photo system. The camera includes all the basics, red-eye reduction, flash, battery indicator, and even 3x zoom. The only camplaint that I...
