Editors' Comments

The Canon PowerShot SD100 is the first of the pocket-sized Digital ELPH cameras to use Secure Digital memory cards instead of CompactFlash. While this change has enabled Canon to make the SD100 a few millimeters smaller than previous ELPH cameras, in most other respects it is very similar to the Canon S230.

Isn't as much of a standout as earlier models (DC Resource - 1/5/04)

The Canon PowerShot SD100 produces generally good photos (with the exception of purple fringing in some conditions), but it is not be the best of the ultra-compact cameras. If you can afford the extra money, this reviewer recommends choosing the Canon S400 instead. read original review

The world's smallest and lightest digital ELPH camera. (Steve's Digicams - 8/11/03)

An enthusiastic assessment of the Canon PowerShot SD100, which is smaller than previous digital ELPHs, thanks to its use of Secure Digital memory cards. The camera is both portable and fast, and takes great movies. read original review
