Manufacturer Overview
Canon has long been a leader in the film-based photography world, and has developed a solid line of digital cameras as well. About a year and a half (this is being written in June, 2000), their PowerShot Pro70 introduced exceptional image quality and many "studio-friendly" features at the 1.7 megapixel level. Subsequently, they made waves with a series of digicams in exceptionally compact metal bodies, echoing the style of their wildly popular "ELPH" film cameras. Their latest though, is both the most compact (by far!), and the only one so far to bear the coveted "ELPH" name. Literally smaller in height and width than a standard playing card, the Digital ELPH packs a considerable "Wow!" factor, and is easy to just stick in a pocket and bring anywhere. (The exceptionally rugged all-metal body and retracting lens with built-in protective cover further encourage a casual approach and handling.)
