Amazon.com Product Description
The Canon PowerShot S10 is one of the smallest 2.1-megapixel cameras in its class. The charge-coupled device (CCD) sensor creates full-color and B&W high-resolution images up to 1,600 x 1,200 pixels. It offers a 2x zoom lens and a range of shooting modes. It features an extremely compact design that is only 4.1 inches long, 2.7 inches high, and 1.3 inches wide (with lens retracted). In addition, the PowerShot S10 weighs just 9.5 ounces excluding battery and CompactFlash card. Despite its small size, this camera offers large, easy-to-use control buttons placed just where you'd expect to find them. The Omni Selector centralized button offers advanced functions logically arranged in one place.

The Canon PowerShot S10 uses CompactFlash type I and II memory cards. The Canon PowerShot S10 also supports IBM's 340 MB Microdrive, capable of storing the equivalent of 10 rolls of pictures at a time.

Another user-friendly feature of this camera is its USB (universal serial bus) connectivity, which allows the PowerShot S10 to communicate with your computer 20 times faster than standard serial port connectors. You can connect directly to USB or use the RS-232C serial port.
The PowerShot S10 is powered by a lightweight 2CR5 lithium (or NB-5H rechargeable NiMH) battery and an internal CR2016 lithium battery that ensures date/time stamp backup.

The Canon PowerShot S10 comes with a comprehensive software package that is fully compatible with PC and Macintosh computers and includes Adobe PhotoDeluxe and PhotoStitch for both Mac OS and Windows. It also provides a wrist strap, a video cable, interface cables, a lithium battery, an 8 MB CompactFlash card, a case for the CompactFlash card, and a user's manual.

5 out of 5 stars Great Point and Shoot.......2002-12-17

I have owned mine for over two years now and I would have to say that it has performed up to every task I have asked of it. The cameras size was important to me and this camera fits well in a pair of khakis or cargo shorts. Things that are a must buy are the kit with charger and at least a 64 MB CF card, I have a 64 and a 128. I love that fact that I can display pictures on the TV with the cables provided. Make editing away from home much easier. Also I bought a second battery and carrying case. All these thing have ensured me of lots of photo ops. This camera does not perform well at sporting events or in low light, but any time the flash goes of it works great. Canon has better software on-line than what came with the camera. Worth every cent.

5 out of 5 stars Wonderful Item.......2002-07-27

We are currently stationed in Misawa Japan. I bought this camera for my fathers birthday so we can e-mail pictures back and forth of family and my son. The quality is great, and its picture quality when I go to print it out.

5 out of 5 stars Mother of Two.......2002-01-27

This camera is wonderful. With two kids I take pictures all the time and because they are digital I can delete the "bad" ones later. I have had the camera for over 6 months and I love it. We took the camera to Disneyland and the battery never ran out. (we recharged it nightly) Plus the storage card is interchangable with my HP Pocket PC. The picture quality is amazing. I have ordered prints as large an 11X13" and they are flawless. I higly recommend this affordable digital camera.

4 out of 5 stars Well built camera, solid engineering.......2001-12-16

I got this camera over two years ago. (...) I agree that it's kind of annoying that you have to pay extra for an AC adapter, but I think Canon learned from their mistakes. I am now looking for an S110 for even more compact size.

Pros:
- Solid metal body.
I dropped it on concrete floor (unintentionally),and I really thought the camera is not going to work any more. I was wrong. Except for the dent at the corner, the LCD just came back up and I continued to take pictures.

- Good Camera Lens quality.
Maybe this is not a Carl Zeiss Lens but it's a decent glass multi element lense from Canon. Fairly decent picture quality for a 2.1 megapixel machine.

- retractable lens.
This keep the form factor compact.

- Fast usb transfer of images.
I used the serial connection for images transfer from camera to pc for over a year until I purchase a computer with USB connection (yes I had an old old machine). The performance difference was dramatic when I moved to USB.

- Slide show, video out to TV
The basic on function is pretty intuitive. Video out is convenient cause I can show others the picture on TV right after I took the picture. (not everyone have a computer)

Cons
- The software that comes with Cannon, although it works, it's not the best.

- Short battery life.
I have to turn off the LCD most of the time to conserve electricity.

the overall experience with this Canon product is good. That's why I bought a Canon ZR25MC for video and may replace my S10 with S110.

5 out of 5 stars The Best and Easiest to use!.......2001-12-14

I would have to disagree with some of the other reviews. I have owned other digital cameras and none have worked and have been as fun as this one. I am not very good at computers but with this camera and the programs to print and download photos are very simple even for people who have no clue. Just read the instructions and everything will be ok. I printed out photos on some glossy paper and they look better then any photo i have seen straight from a normal camera including the professional photos that i just had done for my nephew. So this would be a great investment, and is the best camera I have used in a long time. I can spend hours taking pics and printing them out. Its worth the money.

Amazon.com Product Description

Amazon.com's exclusive bundle combines the standard Canon PowerShot S10 camera kit with a carrying case, an extra 32 MB memory card, and a spare 2CR5 disposable lithium battery.

The Canon PowerShot S10 is one of the smallest 2.1-megapixel zoom cameras available, beaten in size only by the newer Elph, also made by Canon. At its highest-quality setting, the charge-coupled device (CCD) sensor captures 24-bit full-color high-resolution images with enough detail for photo-quality prints at sizes up to 8 by 10 inches. The lens zooms from 35 to 70 mm (35mm film camera equivalent), and its autofocus system even includes an assist light for dimly lit situations. The camera features an extremely compact design that is only 4.1 inches long, 2.7 inches high, and 1.3 inches wide (with lens retracted). In addition, the PowerShot S10 weighs just 9.5 ounces, excluding battery and CompactFlash card. Despite its small size, this camera offers large, easy-to-use control buttons placed just where you'd expect to find them. The Omni Selector centralized button offers advanced functions logically arranged in one place. For storage, the camera uses CompactFlash type I and II memory cards, including IBM's 340 MB Microdrive, a matchbook-size hard disk with great storage capacity.

Another user-friendly feature of this camera is its USB (universal serial bus) connectivity, which allows the PowerShot S10 to communicate with your computer 20 times faster than standard serial port connectors. You can connect directly to USB or use the RS-232C serial port.

Our biggest problem with this camera is its battery situation. The camera uses a single lithium 2CR5 battery (two come with the bundle). Though these batteries do last for a long time, they're not cheap ($10 to $12 at most drugstores) and not as widely available as traditional AA batteries. If you're an occasional photographer, the disposables should work fine. However, we've found that most people end up purchasing the Canon rechargeable battery kit as a long-term solution.

The Canon PowerShot S10 bundle comes with a comprehensive software package that is fully compatible with PC and Macintosh computers and includes Adobe PhotoDeluxe and PhotoStitch for both Mac OS and Windows. It also provides a soft carrying case, wrist strap, video cable, serial and USB interface cables, two lithium batteries, 8 MB and 32 MB CompactFlash cards, a CompactFlash card case, and a user's manual.

5 out of 5 stars Best so far.......2002-12-22

The Cannon S10 was the first digital camera I have ever owned, having bought it close to two years ago. I decided to up-grade to a higher megapixal camera so a few days ago I bought the Minolta 404. I wanted a camera that I could add audio to the pics so I would know when I downloaded the pictures what pictures they were. Seen one mountain, seen them all but which is which? I figured the added audio would solve that problem. Second, I wanted a camera that was small enough to carry on my belt but able to shoot short movies, like when you see wildlife walking. So I spent big bucks, bought the Minolta 404 took some pictures with it at the settings I have my Cannon set to and was very disappointed in the quality of the pictures. I just arrived home after returning the Minolta 404.
I may not be able to add audio to my pictures with the Cannon S10 but one thing for sure, it shoots far superior, cleaner and clearer pictures then the Minolta. Lets face it, audio would be nice but quality pictures is what I really want and the S10 Cannon is the best so far. By the way, the Minolta had 4 megapixals and the Cannon has only 2.1 but the pictures of the Cannon are a lot better. I have several photos blown up to 8 X 10 and they are great. Don't buy a $600 camera and print on a $100 printer,,,you will be disappointed. With a good camera and a good printer you can't go wrong. I use a HP Photosmart 1218 printer. Nice thing is I can take the media card and use it directly in the printer and download my pictures that way without using up batter power. On batteries, I use a battery charger and always keep an extra battery on hand and never have I had any problems running out of power. I also don't use the LCD screen, just the view finder.

I purchased this camera a year ago and it has delivered as I would expect for a quality Canon product. The detail is great and transferability to my laptop wonderful.

5 out of 5 stars Best Value.......2002-01-31

Love this camera. I bought it and would not part with it for anything. Easy to use, set up, and transfer pictures. Most of the camera functions are so straightforward you really do not even have to use the manual to know what is going on. I do recommend buying the rechargeable battery kit; it is well worth the money -- have recharged the battery enough to pay for the charger.

If this comes off of out of stock. ORDER IT FAST.

5 out of 5 stars Awesome Digital Camera Package.......2001-11-21

This was a great value. We were very pleased with what we received for our money. I was just looking on line with my wife's cousin for him to buy but this item is currently out of stock. Too bad.
