Digital camera Review: Below average
Summary: 2 Stars
Case: made in China case has stiff leather and mine had a strong chemical smell (aniline or a phenol derivative, neither are "nice chemicals").
Neck Strap: downright silly, unless you are into wearing flashy metal chains. The serrations will dig into neck on warm days after a period of use. Not comfy.
Battery: Only thing useful. I should have gotten a spare battery and ordered a nice case somewhere else. There are lots of after market choices.
Digital camera Review: Best Slim Case Out
Summary: 4 Stars
I'm not entirely sure why there are so many conflicting reviews of a camera case, but I'll try my hand at describing what I've received.
First, it should be noted that I have the SD990 IS. The case is a bit snug on this camera. I have to feed the camera's leash through the hole in the top of the case in order to have a chance at connecting the magnetic button closure. Even after feeding the leash through the top of the case, I have to press down a bit on the top of the case in order to have enough slack to button the flap. However, the camera is easy enough to get in and out of the case, and I do not feel like the camera is in danger of being damaged or scratched.
The case I received DOES NOT have a strong chemical smell. In fact, it smells like leather. The leather is relatively soft, but the case itself is rigid, which I think will only help to improve the protection of the camera, especially when packed in a backpack or bag.
The inside of the case is lined with a black felt-like material that is a little bit rough, but, once again, not something that will cause damage to the camera body or LCD screen. The bottom of the case on the inside is nicely cushioned, though I wish more of this cushioning had been used throughout the inside of the case.
If you're looking for a case that isn't bulky (can still fit in your pants pocket) that provides good protection for you Elph, then this is your best bet. However, I do agree with other reviewers regarding the odd metal strap, as well as the pointless leather strap that came with this kit. I would recommend either using the wrist strap that came with the Elph, or buying a longer, more comfortable strap to go around your neck.
I have yet to use my backup battery, but I assume it has good/great battery life just like the one that came with the camera.
Digital camera Review: Best camera I have ever owned
Summary: 5 Stars
I bought this camera a while back for myself to use on a trip. I love it. It is the best camera I have ever owned so I bought one for my daughter for Christmas. She is an avid photographer and she loves it.Digital camera Review: Best camera ever
Summary: 5 Stars
I am continuously amazed at the performance of this camera. The photographs it provides are crystal clear and their colors brilliant. The LCD screen is wonderful in that it is clearly visible in all weather. The battery seemingly seldom needs charging. The main reason I went to this model is its promised improvement in shot-to-shot elapsed time. It delivers in spades! The wait-time between shots is negligible as is the "boot" time of the camera. All in all, the best camera I have owned yet!Digital camera Review: Best way to buy a new battery
Summary: 4 Stars
The key item in this kit is the new battery. The others are handy if you need them and come along at little or no increase in price. The case has very stiff walls and so protects the camera nicely. Feeding the camera wrist strap through the case lid as you close it is not difficult (a very minor nuisance). The snap on the lid needs to be held away from the camera as you insert it to avoid scratching the camera. Another very minor nuisance.
