Canon Elph LT 260 APS Film Camera

Pros: Small size, APS features make it virtually idiot proof
Cons: Limited film for APS; Expensive for film, processing, and batteries

When I was preparing to go to Norway in 1998, I wanted to buy a new camera. The big question was, should I buy an APS or a 35mm? If you're not familiar with it, APS stands for "Advanced Photo System," which was a joint effort by 5 camera and film...

Pros: Pocket-sized, quality photos, good zoom, loaded w/features
Cons: APS film costs more, Lithium batteries more expensive and not available everywhere

A couple years ago my husband bought me a professional-grade camera. I quickly fell in love with the quality and variety of pictures I was able to take. Unfortunately, after the birth of my first son I learned that it wasn't so convenient to take...

Pros: extremely simple to use, great picture quality, compact size, inexpensive
Cons: difficult to find now, not digital, zoom

When I decided to buy a camera, I wasn't sure if I wanted to go digital or not. Digital seemed like the "cool" thing to do and the logical progression from my film cameras. So I researched digital cameras extensively. I went from store to store,...

Pros: Small, easy to use
Cons: Bad pics

I bought the Elph LT because my old camera had been dropped by a child and it broke. I figured that it was worth my wild to just buy a new one rather than pay to fix my old one since I only paid about $99 for my old one.


I had just...

Pros: Small, small, small, good pictures, very totable
Cons: small, cramped controls (what do you expect?)

Great camera. This camera takes good pictures, and the subject is always in focus. Color is lifelike, and the lense seems sharp from what the pictures look like. This camera is also VERY small. It's about the size of a deck of cards, just a little...

Pros: small size, ease of use
Cons: cost of film and develepment, almost too small

The Good:
The Elph LT is one of the smallest yet durable cameras I have seen on the market. Loading and unloading film is about as simple as it could ever possibly get with this camera.
The Elph LT is also loaded with so many features and...

Pros: Small Size!
Cons: Film and processing a little more expensive

When I bought this camera I purchased it for two reasons - it's size and IT'S SIZE! Compared to most other APS cameras and other 35mm point and shoot cameras, this is little jewel is about as small as you can find for a reasonable price.

I...

Pros: APS film system, Zoom, three picture size, sylish silver case, small size
Cons: Battery, viewfinder must be looked thru dead on (not from any angle, scratch

:-)
I was given a Canon Elph LT 260 for Christmas 2000.

First of, this is the first APS camera I have ever owned.
For those of you not familiar with APS, it stands for Advanced Photos System
That means you get a sheet with...

Pros: quality, support, styling, convenience
Cons: APS format becoming less popular

Every few years Kodak invents a new film format to replace the ancient 35mm format. First it was Instamatic, then 110, then the disk, and now it's APS. APS didn't turn out to be the great 35mm killer, but it did spawn some great cameras- especially the...

Pros: Comes with everything, easy to use, fully automatic
Cons: Pop up flash can be cumbersome with hand placement

I recently purchased a Canon ELPH LT 260. I was looking at the ELPH Jr., but it didn't have the zoom on it. This camera has everything. It has a five mode flash, which includes slow-sync, for night portraits. It is totally automatic, no joke. All you...

Pros: Small and light
Cons: Poor quality photographs

I bought the Canon Elph LT 260 because it was a less expensive camera that seemed to have all the features of the Elph 2 at about half of the cost.

It does have those features but does not employ them with near as much success. The first 3...

Pros: Convenience, Size, Features
Cons: Poor Picture Quality, High Cost

When my trusty old point and shoot 35mm finally died, I went looking for a new camera with one thing in mind: convenience. After reading some reviews (including the ones here) I settled on the ELPH LT 260.

I got a killer deal at Best Buy,...

Pros: Compact and aesthetically pleasing
Cons: Poor picture quality, expensive; film, batteries and developing costs.

This is the worst camera I have ever owned. While the camera is easy to load, the pictures are always grainy and lacking detail perceptible to the human eye. I have used both Kodak and Fuji film in this camera - speeds of 200 and 400 and also Black &...

Pros: great night shots, panoramic shots
Cons: suddenly stopped working!

I was thrilled with the results of the camera, great panoramic pictures, great night shots, and everything one could ask for.
The camera is easy to use, the three picture modes are really cool.
The battery life is short, lasts about 100-200...

Pros: quality pictures for good price
Cons: small enough to lose, easily

The Canon Elph is one of the best cameras I have ever used! When I first saw the hype associated with the Advanced Photo System I wasn't sure if I was really going to buy into it or not. Now I just wish I would have earlier!

How we got our...
