I previously own an earlier Elph and loved it. When I purchased the Elph SD 600 I was so excited..and like many other reviewers ..loved it. I read all these excellent reviews and would have written one too. BUT, about a year and a half later with only infrequent use...the lens would not retract. After googling this issue to my horror this is a widespread problem which has even prompted a class action suit...The dreaded E-18 error..or in my case LENS ERROR. Past warranty Canon charges $259 to fix plus shipping..
in my case I saw battery was low and shut camera down..I guess that triggers a problem because when I put a fresh battery in the lens came out but would not retract. Yikes. Now I find that this is a known design flaw..often once it is fixed it reoccurs. I have always had nothing but Canon, but now I have to look elsewhere once I am in a position to buy another camera. I loved my little Elph and took perfect care of it, but the lens mechanism is so fragile that it breaks in about 10 different circumstances and is very costly to repair.
A TOTALLY AWESOME CAMERA!!!! [Posted on 2008-08-03]
This camera is fantastic and simply does it all. Quit thinking about it and buy it. Nuff said.
Best purchase [Posted on 2008-08-18]
I love this camera so much that I have read the entire manual (it wasnt the intention but couldnt find anything to read in my long air travel). It provides tons of features and options. Works fine in low light, etc.
Recommend buying a memory card which had minimum lag in writing to memory however it is not a must. I get frustrated with low writing speeds. I bought a "SanDisk SDSDH-1024-901 1 GB Ultra II Secure Digital Memory Card" with it. Its pretty fast in memory writing. My purchase was in December 2006 so check whats the latest and fastest available now
Canon SD600 takes terrible indoor photos [Posted on 2008-08-28]
My Canon SD600 is about 2 years old. It is compact and easy to use. Using Auto-mode, it takes great outdoor photos and high-quality video. However, its indoor photo quality is aweful - the pictures turn out very yellow. Even using the "vivid-color" setting, the highest ISO setting, and manually setting the "sunlight, cloudy, incadescent, or floursent" option, its indoor picture quality is still very poor. The pictures turn out yellowish and it is a real pain having to set the light setting manually.
Great pictures and easy to use. [Posted on 2008-12-22]
This cannon camera and all of the digital elphs that I have used are of excellent quality. I bought mine to take with me on snowmobiling trips as it fits into a shirt pocket and is readily available whenever I need it. It has many settings for all light conditions and can even be used underwater with the right underwater case. It also has automatic mode that is just point and shoot, no thought at all.
