Opinion: I am a big fan of Elph S200, but i returned it because of too much red eye. Even with red eye reduction terned on. I dont know what to do, overall the picture quality was great. I am waiting for this camera and hopefully there will be less red eye.

Problems: Too much red eye. If any one has suggestions I'd love to know them.

Opinion: My first digital camera is the Ixus V. Subsequently I changed to the Ixus V2 the moment it was made available in my country.
I've bought an adaptor from ckcpower.com and a Kenko 8x monoscope from the local cam store; all I can comment is that this combo works great, lest for minor inconveniences. (check out ckcpower.com!)
I love the added feature of having an adjustable shutter speed as well. I never use the flash a single time even during the night ever since then!

With the intro of the V3, my heart practically skipped a couple of beats, with excitement of course!
It's great to know that the new cam will have a higher pixel count as well as longer battery life. Can't wait to get my hands on it!

Problems: I hope the optical zoom will go up to at least 5x in the future generations, WITHOUT the increase in size and weight though. Being able to adjust aperture speed manually will be great as well. Last but not least, including buildin 28mm thread for addons like monoscope or wide-angle lens will make this cam a dream to own.

Opinion: Has anyone tried the video mode with a high speed CF card?
The ad says you can capture up to 3 minutes long movies with a high speed CF card in this digcam.

I want to know if this is a marketing stunt or if it is true.
Has anyone tried it?
I'd be glad to read your impressions.
Thank you!

Opinion: Just purchased at a great price. At techdepot, I paid only $369 for the camera and they have free shipping. Hard to beat that and it arrived in only 2 days.
