    Bad Points: it doesn't walk around and take the picture for you


    General comments: The Canon PowerShot S30 is fairly easy to use, good size lets you know its there but yet not to big, quick recharge on the battery. All and all for the money its a great camera and you can't go wrong with it

    I bought the Canon PowerShot S30 camera 2 years ago. I'm a keen amateur photographer who was often disappointed by the reproduction quality of 35mm photos from the photo labs. When the price of digital cameras started to come down, I bought the S50 as the features seemed to be close to a 35mm SLR. I have been amazed at the quality of the photos this camera produces, and have recommended it to my friends. The software is basic, but very efficient and easy to use, most people who really want to ...

    I bought the Canon PowerShot S30 based on price (the S45 had just come out so the S30 was a run out model) and image quality of others on the net at about the same price.I found an extremely good site which compares actual images from one camera to another taken in the same light conditions of the same subject. Great stuff. http://www.imaging-resource.com/IMCOMP/COMPS01.HTM
    It comes with a reasonably comprehensive manual that's quite easy to follow for most users from beginner to advanced.
    All ...

    The S30 is a "Think, Point & Shoot Camera" - though it's' size may fool you to think otherwise. It does have an 'automatic mode' which requires you to only 'point & shoot'. However, the camera has as many advanced features as most high-end 35mm cameras.
    The most important thing a new user should do before turning the S30 on, is to review the manual. Turn the dial to "Auto" and fire away.
    Having been a 35mm camera user for over 40 years, I finally gave in, saw the mulitpixels, and digitized ...

    It's a beautiful camera which has a nice feel and weight to it, so you know you are holding something, unlike some light-weight ones. Suits the bigger handed person and has a nice thumb indent too for gripping. Handy short strap on camera, so when it's in it's case you can still have it round your wrist, not your neck.
    The canon S30 has the option of manual focus/exposure or automatic which I think is an added bonus on a digital camera.

    I bought this camera at Dixons Duty Free shop at Heathrow T4 the price was stightly better than the high street price. It is a little beauty to use and the picture quality is first rate. Being able to reveiw the picure and delete it if it is not any good means that you can only save the pics you want. Must save up for the printer to go with it now.

    I purchased one of these Canon Powershot S30 digital cameras a little over a month ago-in time to take it on holiday with me to Florida. I've so far taken about 800 pictures and I'm delighted with the results. Until now I've been using a Canon EOS-300 35mm SLR which is big and bulky. I've long wanted to move into digital photography but the Canon digital SLRs are just too expensive for me. I chose the Powershot S30 because it has almost all of the manual features of my SLR. It has all the same p ...

    After lusting after a digital Ixus at a party I upgraded from the Fuji Finepix 2800 I bought recently to the Canon Powershot S30 digital camera, which at the moment is well-priced compared with the S40 (the 4 mpixel model) and the other 4 MP models. Reviews suggest image quality of the S40 is a fair bit better than the comparable compacts around like the Olympus C-40Z and the Pentax Optio 430 models.
    I am delighted with the camera. The images are clear and sharp and colours are deep and beauti ...
