Very Nice Camera,
Canon Elph 100 HS Pros and Cons
Pros
– Good looking and small
– Nice large 3.0 inch LCD screen
– Very good photo quality! When using this camera, I suggest you keep in auto mode. Its a really good auto mode unlike other auto modes on other digital cameras. You will always get a sharp shot with less grain. The HS system really helps.
– Very good 1080p for a small camera.
– Cool shooting features. Toy camera, Poster effect etc
Cons
– On Amazon its states that the camera can “optically zoom while shooting video”. Not true. Its digital zoom which was a HUGE disappointment for me. If you like zooming a lot, I wouldn’t recommend this camera. If you like zooming in optically during video, check out the Elph 300 and Elph 500 HS.
– NO autofocus during MOVIE mode. This was another HUGE disappointment for me. I do a lot of close up shots during video and I can’t do that. I called Canon and asked them if the camera autofocus’s and they said yes it does. They told me to reset the camera and I did and still no autofocusing. I honestly think the camera doesn’t autofocus at all during video. You can set it to macro mode, but I personally like autofocusing better. If you like autofocusing during video, check out the Elph 300 and Elph 500 HS
Conclusion
I do like this camera a lot. It takes great still images and has some cool features. BUT I REALLY REALLY like zooming in optically and having autofocus during video. So I think I may return it to the store and buy the other Elph 300 HS or some other camera. I don’t know :(. If you don’t mind not having autofocusing during video and have digital zoom during video then this camera is just for you.

|Found a keeper,
I normally use a Nikon D50 which takes great photos, Im no professional but really enjoy taking pictures of my toddler. Well he broke my Nikon and I sent to see if it could be fixed but wanted to point and shoot because they come in really handy! I reviewed what felt like a million cameras, I touched them and felt them and shot pictures with them and hated every single one! I hadnt seen this one online (cause there werent any reviews) but I went to Shutterbug and they had it, I tried it out and loved it! I’ve had it for a few weeks and I use it everyday! Pictures always turn out amazing! Our house kinda has crappy lighting and its a major problem with pictures, this camera takes the best pictures by far! (not super grainy looking like others) I also wanted to camera that shoots video. I dont use it to shoot professional quality video but Im impressed! Alot better then my last point and shoot. Also my video does autofocus on video mode, so the other viewer might have had a faulty one cause mine does great. I wasnt looking to spend $200 but I’d do it again in a heart beat!
Pros:
powers on so quick
Picture quality
Picture speed (amazing)
low light pictures
video!
Cons:
….nada

|Canon ELPH 100 HS — U R going to luv it,
Just received my Canon ELPH 100 HS {orange} and I absolutely love it. The camera boots up almost instantly. Installed a 16GB SDHC class 10 card and now have 5000+ 12MB photo capacity or 60 minutes for HD video. The image stabilization at max digital zoom 4X4/16x works great! The camera easily fits in my pocket and is very light @ ~5 ounces.
The Canon’s Digic 4 processor & CMOS sensor make this camera truly point and shoot. By default it automatically selects the light level, shaking, target focus, shutter speed, flash/noflash and ISO to pick the optimal scene type. Perfect pictures virtually every time when button is correctly pressed 1/2 way (1) before fully in (2) for photo shot. But be sure to get a class 10 card for the best video.
The only 2 minor problems I believe are:
1) It comes with a 700 mAh 3.7 Volt battery instead of the 1400 mAh 3.7 OEM version which doubles it run-time for 230 photos to almost 500 pictures per charge. This is easily fixed when ordering additional batteries just get the larger mAh capacity ones.
2) The CameraWindow transfer software doesn’t automatically delete pictures after they are transferred. Some people like this as not to delete photos improperly transferred.(I do not). Some camera blogs suggest a quick format after transfer is the way to quickly delete photos/video after successful transfer.
However, this is the best point and shoot camera I have used and I still think it’s a 5 star camera @ $199 MSRP.
