Pros Tiny and easy to use
Cons Needs to be upgraded right out of the box
Recommended it? Yes

I enjoy taking pictures of family and friends on special occasions, and of just about everything when I?m traveling. Aside from that, I rarely lug a camera around for no reason at all. I received the Canon Elph Power Shot 100 Digital camera for a birthday gift recently, and I barely put it down... Read full review »

The Canon PowerShot S100 is a Pocket Digital Camera!

bysurferdude7 Nov 25, 2001
129 Helpfuls 130 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros Easy to use and produces excellent photos!
Cons The CompactFlash card is too small!
Recommended it? Yes

This is truly a pocket camera about the size of a credit card just thicker in size than a credit card. It measures 3.4 inches wide x 2.2 inches in height x 1.1 inches thick.

This is a 2.11-megapixel (2.11 million-pixel) digital camera that can take photos as large as 1600 x 1200 of... Read full review »

The Coolpix 8700 Nikon joins the 8 megapixel club

byHoward_Creech May 2, 2004
133 Helpfuls 134 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros 8X Nikkor Zoom, 8 megapixel resolution
Cons Cons: Noisy images at ISO 400, AF hunts in low light, weak battery
Recommended it? Yes

Over the last couple of years Nikon has been losing market share to other manufacturers, but that negative sales trend may be due to change. Nikon's R&D folks have introduced two very exciting new digital cameras (the Coolpix 8700 and the D70 digital SLR) that are likely to put Nikon firmly back in... Read full review »

Good Mid Level Digital Camera

byfudge23 Jan 3, 2006
13 Helpfuls 14 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros Stylish, good quality photos, large memory capacity.
Cons big and clunky, gets an error message a lot
Recommended it? Yes

Let me state right away that I am not a camera professional or claim to be a techno guru. Far from it, I am a new mom who wanted to take loads of photos and share with family on the web. I know what I want out of a camera and that's about it. If you are looking for a technical expert and pixel size... Read full review »
