meniscus lens and underwater macro setting
account for water's refractive properties and ensure crisp shots.
Larger-format controls allow you to operate the Canon Elph Sport even when
wearing gloves. Another highlight of this camera is the anticondensation
feature that prevents your lens from fogging up in extreme temperatures or
moist climates. The Canon Elph Sport also includes a five-mode flash with
a special underwater setting and red-eye reduction. This camera uses
autofocus on land and has user-selectable focus settings for underwater
shooting.
The Canon Elph Sport also incorporates all of the basic features of an APS
camera, including easy drop-in film loading, three shooting formats
(classic, high-definition HDTV, and panorama), built-in date, time, and
caption imprinting on the back of the photo, and print quality improvement
(PQI).
Weighing only 7.8 ounces, this camera is so light it will float. It
measures 4.1 by 2.9 by 1.8 inches--not much larger than a deck of cards.
Its distinctive rounded, translucent green styling is a real eye-catcher.
The kit includes a soft nylon case and a foam-rubber neck/wrist strap as
well as a one-year warranty.
Product Description

Great camera if you can still find one!, April 1, 2005
Reviewer: A. Steel
I received this camerera as a prize and would recommend it to anyone. We
use this camera as our primary camera for everything! I took it in with me
when my daughter was born, snorkeling, fishing, hiking and I have now
handed it to my now toddler. If you have had a toddler, they can break
anything with the exception of this ELPH SPORT. I have had this camera for
4 years and have nothing but good things to say!

Good camera, good value., July 25, 2003
Reviewer: "echobunny2"
My camera has really stood up to the elements and multiple beatings. It
has worked well for me taking pictures underwater and in the surf, and has
also been to the top of multiple 20,000+ feet mountains. Dropped countless
times on rock, snow, sand, and also dunked as much into water. I have
learned to force the flash on anything but super sunny days - the pics
come out a bit dark in conditions other cameras would have no problem
with, and i've found it could really use a filter in intense light
situations. Nothing you wouldn't expect from a specialty use camera. Just
bought a second spare one for when the first one finally does give up -
which i don't think will be for a long time.
Good camera and good value!

Ultimate Combination of Features and Quality, February 12, 2003
Reviewer: A customer
If you are considering buying an APS camera, then you should look no
further. Note, however, that APS film is a bit more expensive than regular
35mm film, but it is much more versatile (standard Normal, Group, and
Panoramic modes, etc). The reason why this camera so great is most
obviously its design. The case is waterproof as well as shockproof. After
taking it with me hiking, I tripped three times, each time with the camera
in my hand (in its little case), and showed no signs of damage, and still
worked great underwater. For me, this is great, as I usually end up losing
things in my messy room, and hence they usually get banged around. This
camera is durable, and therefore there is no worry. Its waterproofing is
great feature, as I am constantly taking pictures on my boat, at the
beach, or outside where there is always the chance of rain. You don't have
to worry about keeping your camera dry, nor does it become a problem if
you leave you bag with the camera in it someplace where it might
accidentally get wet. The design is extremely easy to use, and the
pictures are great (use 400 speed film, its the most versatile). The only
bad thing is that you have to fairly responsible about cleaning the camera
after salt-water use. Now, I have never done this, and the camera still
works fine. Furthermore, this thing is tiny, suprisingly smaller than the
most compact 35mm's. You'll be suprised at how small it is (it's not too
small though). It also has bumps on the back to help you grip the camera
with one hand. To anyone who is concerned about zoom, on most compact
camera, APS or 35mm, they barely make that much of a difference. And to
anyone considering going digital, I say just get a scanner. Your picture
quality will be much better. Recommended without reservation. Its the kind
of camera you can just throw in your bag and never have to worry about.
One last thing, when you first put it underwater, you will see bubbles
coming out. I was concerned, but found out it was just air on the outside
of the waterproofing.

hey, it works...., March 17, 2002
Reviewer: msuskier
I have had this camera for a little over a year now, and it hasn't broken.
For me this is saying a whole lot. I typically keep it in my backpack
which goes everywhere with me. I have had beer spilled all over it at
parties. Taken it to the beach. Slammed it against rocks hiking. Fallen on
it skiing and it still hasn't broken. For an active 20yr old kid it can't
be beat. I haven't had problems with indoor pictures as others have said.
We also have used it to take pictures wakeboarding from a tube behind the
boat. Where we discovered one more advantage....it floats
