The vignetting with my wide angle lens is of concern, enough to make me take it back to the store and exchange it for a slimer ringed filter, if you use wide angle lens for landscapes a lot you may well find this filter a problem. Other than that I have taken some great photo's with it. Naperville Mobile Truck Repair Weakness:

Strength:
Awesome pictures Very Clear Love the APS system Quick Flash
Weakness:
none I love this camera & have used it for a good ten years. I haven't had any trouble until just this year when the front of it jams up but it still takes pictures. I am looking to buy another one. I love this camera & have had so many compliments on my photos. Customer Service Haven't used but need to. Was told it wouldn't be worth fixing the camera cuz it's too expensive so that is a bummer. Similar Products Used: Canono Z155 and the pictures are horrible on this camera & it's brand new. |

Strength:
SMALL, 4X ZOOM, ACCEPTABLE FLASH, PRICE,QUALITY OF PICTURES.
Weakness:
A LITTLE BIT LARGER THAN I WOULD LIKE (IT IS THE WORLDS SMALLEST 4X ZOOM) BUT I''M JUST NIT PICKING THIS CAMERA WAS PURCHSED TO REPLACE OUR PREVIOUS ELPH CAMERA (2X ZOOM VERSION) THIS CAMERA WAS AN INCREDIBLE UP GRADE NOT ONLY THE LONGER ZOOM, BUT THE MUCH BRIGHTER FLASH. OUR PREVIOUS ELPH WAS TERRIBLE AT PHOTOS TAKEN IN MEDIUM LIGHT AT ANY DISTANCE FURTHER THAN 10 FEET. IT DOES SUCH A GREAT JOB THAT WE HAVE STOPPED USING OUR CHINNON GENISIS IV CAMERA. Customer Service UNKNOW. NOT NEEDED Similar Products Used: ELPH 2X ZOOM, CHINON GENISIS IV, A NUMBER OF CHEAP POINT AND SHOOT. |

ELPH 490Z
Strength:
Compact
Weakness:
Picture not as clear as 35mm Not sure if it's the camera or the APS film but pictures are not as clear as with the 35mm cameras. However, it's very compact and close shot of people are not bad. It just not very good for landscape. Similar Products Used: First ASP camera. Used 35mm SLR and Yashica 35mm Point and Shoot. |

Strength:
- Very attractive, eye-catching design
Weakness:
Buttons too small. I just got back my first set of APS prints from a trip to Orlando. I must say I am *really* impressed by the quality of the pictures this camera takes. I used to own a Nikon N70 SLR (that got stolen recently) and I decided to get a point and shoot camera as a temporary replacement while I was grieving over the loss of my "real" camera. I had seen some prints from a friend's APS camera and wasnt particularly impressed by the grain quality - esp on the panaromic shots. So it was with quite a bit of skepticism that I invested in the elph 490Z. I am pleasantly surprised. The camera is very easy to use for point and shoot situations and gives you enough options if you wish to get a little more creative. Customer Service No reason to use CANON customer service so far Similar Products Used: None |

Weakness:
This is the worst camera that canon has ever made. It works ok during day light out doors. However, at night time, any kind of light messes up the whole picture. I have lost many irreplacable pictures. If you have money to waste, just sent it to me istead of buying this camera. Customer Service During its warranty, I sent it for repair. However, non of its problems was repaired. The extended time of warranty (7 yrs) that I bought was a waste of time and so is the camera. Similar Products Used: None |
