Product Reviews:
A great camera for the "casual" photographer, June 19, 2000
Reviewer: A customer
Investing in the Canon Elph LT 260 camera was a great decision for me!
This camera takes great pictures, the detail and color is amazing. Its
small size allows me to take it everywhere, and its tough frame and
included carrying case keep me from worrying about it getting knocked
around or broken. Also, the auto-focus and 2x zoom lens are just enough
for me, the "casual" photographer, who uses a camera to capture special
occasions, to bring along on trips, or to just have around for the
occasional photo opportunity. If you are a serious photographer, this is
probably not the camera for your master shots, but I would still recommend
it as a fun, bump-around type of camera that everyone can use and depend
on for great shots. I took this camera on a trip to Europe, and the
panoramic feature was indispensable for some of the landscapes and views I
saw, and the classic snapshot was great for capturing smaller details and
pics of my traveling companions - I was thrilled with the pictures when I
got them back. Again, the small size made it so easy to carry each day.
Also, I bought this camera as a gift for my mom a couple of months ago,
and she loves it as well - the drop-in film loading was her favorite
feature since she'd always had trouble loading her older, traditional
35mm, and she's also enjoying the APS options. My dad has a little trouble
with its small size, though, since the buttons are tiny and his bigger
fingers and hands get in the way, so that's also something to think about.
One other thing that is sometimes a little difficult is the pop-up flash,
which can get caught on things, etc, but it's a minor thing, just
something to pay attention to when you use the camera. All in all, this is
a great camera, and I think the price is a bargain for all of the features
and ease of use that come along with it. I highly recommend it to anyone
who is looking for a take-anywhere camera that offers lots of versatility
and guarantees great shots.

Good combination of picture quality and reliability, June 3, 2005
Reviewer: Jack Foote
When the APS system began, we purchased the Canon 370Z and it still works
after several repairs. My wife is a principal and needed a small camera to
fit in her purse and I needed a camera to fit in my pocket on trips. The
Canon LT260 was purchased for $100 and has lasted in very heavy use for
over four years without repairs. The quality of picture, strength of the
flash, the 2X zoom and the ruggedness would be hard to match for the
price. However, this great camera which has traveled the world and taken
an average of 24-48 pictures a week finally died. Although my wife has an
excellent digital camera, she wants another LT260!

Disappointing Picture Quality, January 14, 2005
Reviewer: Amanda
I bought this camera last summer to replace an old Olympus APS camera that
I'd had stolen. I went with this Canon APS because I had always been very
happy with the APS picture quality, ease of picture taking and because
I've liked the quality of Canon products in general in the past. This
camera has been nothing but a disappointment. My pictures are grainy; the
colors are washed out; the world through the shutter of this camera is
drab, dull and blurry. I've tried everything from adjusting the film speed
I'm using to switching who I use as a developer...The results are always
the same when I get my prints back. Do not make the same mistake I did and
waste your money on this camera.

Canon Elph 260LT, November 27, 2003
Reviewer: Jennifer
I would suggest this camera to anyone who wants a reasonable camera that
takes wonderful pictures. I got this camera as a gift a few years ago, and
have yet to take a picture that does not turn out perfect. (I do however
suggest always using 400 speed film.) I have bought a few of this camera
for gifts, and plan do buy more for this Christmas season. I have also
talked other friends and relatives into buying this for their use! This is
a great camera for a great value!

Great Compact Camera, April 6, 2003
Reviewer: Lauren
Mostly use a 35mm SLR camera to take photographs, I wanted a small APS
camera that I could use for quick, everyday shots. I looked into reviews
of the Canon Elph LT260 and decided to purchase it about a year ago. The
Elph takes great clear pictures, plus the 2x zoom and up to 2 second
shutter speed are an added bonus. My only issue is the poor red eye
reduction. However, I've found that similar APS cameras don't provide
accurate red eye reduction either. Overall I'm pleased with this camera.
