Canon Elph LT 260 Zoom APS Camera

Product Description

The ELPH LT 260 Advanced Photo System Camera strengthens Canon's existing line of ELPH-series cameras by providing many of the features offered by Canon's original ELPH camera. Its ultra-compact size and lightweight of 5.3 ounces makes it easy to carry, while maintaining the same stylish design that has made the ELPH-series cameras industry best sellers. The camera measures an impressive 3.7 (W) x 2.5 (H) x 1.2 (D) inches and is equipped with a 26-52mm f/4.2-6.7 (equivalent to 32.5-65mm with 35mm-format cameras) 2x aspherical zoom lens composed of six lenses in six groups. The ELPH LT 260's single-point active autofocus system is fast and accurate with an effective focusing range of approximately 18 inches to infinity. The Canon ELPH LT 260 incorporates a powerful built-in, multi-function flash unit with a flash range of 1.5-18.5 feet (wide angle) and 1.5-11.8 feet (telephoto) at ISO 200. The flash unit pops up and retracts as the camera's main switch is turned on and off, similar to the original ELPH model. The ELPH LT 260's flash system offers several modes, including Auto (with and without red-eye reduction), Flash ON, Flash OFF, and Slow-Synchro. The camera also incorporates all the basic features of the Advanced Photo System, including easy drop-in film loading, three shooting formats and built-in date and title functions. A core capability of the Advanced Photo System is Magnetic Information Exchange (IX), which enables the entire system - from cameras to photofinishing equipment - to share information. Utilizing this technology, the Canon ELPH LT records information for every exposed frame, including date, time, print aspect ratio, flash condition, lighting conditions, etc.

Great non-digital camera.......2007-08-31

For anyone who is interested in an non-digital camera, this is the camera for you! It does all the basics and much more. It's a camera you can keep with you at all times. Takes great pictures with good quality. It does the job without all that other clutter you get from carrying a bulky camera were you have to change lenses....

No luck yet.......2007-07-13

I love the features of this camera, but my camera was delivered damaged.
I returned the item. I received a email stating that my card would be credited, but it has not yet been credited yet.

Third Elph I've purchased.......2007-04-15

Great little camera, but does not have midroll rewind despite the description. I owned the Elph LT until it was stolen, and the Elph 370Z (which does have midroll rewind) for seven years of frequent use before the flash quit working. Was delighted to find this one new. Too bad APS cameras were discontinued.

nice successor to original elph.......2007-03-14

This is a great little machine. Sturdier flash than original elph. Slightly larger. Plastic body instead of metal. Great pocket camera. Carry it everywhere and never miss a shot. APS prints best on "H",but the panoramic setting is fun. Like a Leica 111f, always ready, easy to carry fun.

Canon Elph LT 260 Zoom APS Camera.......2007-01-09

I deliberately purchased an out-dated product to replace a similat camera that was stolen, as in some ways it is more flexible than my digital camera, and compements the other. I carry both with me at all times and use whichever is better suited for the particular shot I have in mind.

Awesome camera for the price.......2004-03-23

Like a lot of the other reviewers have said, this camera takes great pictures! Clear and crisp! And I'm the kinda person that takes pictures hanging out the car window and on the back of a 4 wheeler. It's as if I was standing still! It's so nice to be able to capture a panoramic picture whenever you want, and be able to switch back to regular sized photos with the touch of a button. And all on the same roll of film. So easy. I would highly recommend this camera! And with such a low price, you cant go wrong.

The Best!.......2003-12-21

Even for people on a low budget this season, this is a great, fun, easy-to-use gift. I have owned one of these for almost 2 years now, and have found many ways to get exactly the picture I want. With three photo sizes that change in the viewer, one is always guaranteed to know approximately how thier photo will turn out. Though not particularly inexpenxive, the APS film system is reasonable, and the pictures turn out great! For a younger, or older, aspiring photographer, this is the camera to start with!

great camera.......2003-12-16

i bought this camera right before a trip, and was a little nervous using a new camera. i was not disappointed, every picture came out crisp and clear. the size is great, so small you can easily put it in your pocket. the different settings are good too, especially the panoramic. film, batteries and developing may be a wee bit more, but it is definitely worth it. i've owned more expensive cameras that did not take pictures this well.

Tiny but not a toy.......2003-06-10

This is a tiny camera (a good-sized guy could hide it in the palm of his hand.) But the small size doesn't mean the Elph is a toy. No, indeed.

The sharpness on the pictures is amazing considering that the negatives are smaller than 35mm and that this is not an expensive piece of optical equipment. (We used to speculate that Canon made the optics better on APS cameras to showcase the APS format in the best light.)

You can have some fun--one special feature is that you can take 3 different sizes of photos (regular sized, large sized and panorama sized) on the same roll of film. Switch a lever on the back and go from a portrait to capturing the beauty of a mountain vista or a busy plaza.

For a "keep it in your pocket at all times" camera, this can't be beat.

Quality & Versatility.......2002-09-26

I got the ELPH before heading to JazzFest in New Orleans a year and a half ago so I wouldn't have to lug my 35mm rig around. Turns out, it isn't just inexpensive -- it's also a heckuva point-and-shoot camera. I was surprised by the quality of photos it produced. Sharp, clean...usually well-balanced flash (although it has its moments). It has some limitations, but photo enthusiasts will be able to figure them out pretty quickly. I even found a couple settings that allow me to be creative in low light settings in nightclubs.

It has become my everyday camera (football games, birthday parties, JazzFest), while my 35mm and medium-format are for more specific "shoot" purposes. So small it fits in a pocket; so light you forget you have it with you; so capable you'll wonder why you didn't get one sooner.

Product Description

The ELPH LT270 is based on the concept of compactness, simplicity, and high quality. With its 2.7x zoom lens and very high cost performance resulting in a reasonable price, the ELPH LT270 is the high quality compact camera. The 2.7x zoom 24-65mm (135 format equivalent: 30-81mm) lens effectively corrects for various aberrations and gives high contrast by optimally placing the aspherical lens element resulting in excellent image quality throughout the zoom range. The extremely compact, lightweight body continues the basic "box and circle" design concept resulting in a dignified, yet casual new generation design. The large, bright, clear viewfinder and large display panel make operation simple and easy. The ELPH LT270 has a full compliment of fine Advanced Photo System features: Mid-roll rewind and cartridge replacement (MRC), three different custom functions, six shooting parameters recorded for improved print quality (PQI), a selection of three different "print types" (formats), date and title printing, and specification of the desired number of prints.

Amazon.com Product Description

The Canon Elph LT 270 camera gives you the options of three custom shooting functions so you can pick the one that best suits your needs. You can select from real-time shutter release, flash mode preservation, or autorewind so you can shoot in absolute silence. This camera has an active autofocus system with center one-point measurement that uses PSD and IRED as the measurement element, giving you a focusing range of 1.5 feet to infinity.

The 2.7x zoom lens lets you take close-up images of your friends and family or any subject you want. The LT 270 comes with three print sizes, including panorama so you can capture large group shots or breathtaking landscapes. With the real-image viewfinder, you can switch between all three image sizes (C, H, and P) and know exactly how your image will be framed before you take the picture. You also get information on the camera's settings inside the viewfinder, including: object lens frame, close-up frame, AF frame, standard size mask (C size), panorama size mask (P size). A green "OK to shoot" and an orange "camera shake warning/flash ready" are visible on the LED indicators outside the viewfinder eyepiece.

For those times when you can't use flash photography, like at a concert or museum, you can turn the built-in flash off. The LT 270 also has a slow-sync flash mode that gives your nighttime images sharp foregrounds and gently glowing backgrounds, while the red-eye reduction feature helps eliminate the glowing red eyes flash photography can cause, giving your portraits a more natural look.

Canon's IX (information exchange) feature records the following: date, print aspect ratio, cartridge loading direction, subject brightness, title, magnification, artificial lighting, flash use, flash exposure, and print quality of each image. This information is recorded on the film using a single track, write-only magnetic recording head and is then transferred from the camera to the film. Your photo finisher then uses this information to give you the high-quality prints available.

Too much hype over this camera.......2004-05-27

Alot of my photos taken at night are grainy or blurry. This camera is ok, not worth all the hype it's getting. Not to mention developing doubles will cost you about $15 per roll. I would stick with digital or 35mm over this.

not bad.......2002-12-11

I have owned this camera for about six months now, and overall I like the compact design, the variety of features it offers and the pretty decent zoom. If you also have a Canon EOS, slow your trigger finger, since the autofocus of the elph is not quite as snappy as the one on your high performance SLR. The flash is very limited in range, so this is ideal for indoor shots at smaller parties, but not at bigger events where you want to cover some distance. Twice I have had problems with fresh APS film involuntarily rewinding and popping out of the camera as used even though only one picture had been taken, but that may have been an issue with the film rather than with the camera. The zoom and autofocus use up quite a bit of battery juice, and the power will go pretty much without warning, so if you travel, have extras handy.

Great replacement camera.......2002-08-10

I have a 10 year old Minolta 35-mm camera that I've just about beaten up. So, I borrowed this camera from my sister for my trip to Europe last month. The color and B&W pictures came out great. I especially loved the panoramic feature for those broad Italian landscapes and the great outside shots of Versailles and the Louvre! The only time the pictures didn't come out nice ... and this is my only complaint ... was when I was taking shots in a dark church or taking night shots. More often than not, those pictures came out blurry or grainy. Maybe if I used different film (I only used 400 speed while I was in Europe), or held my hand steadier it wouldn't have been a problem -- I'll have to play around with it a little. Otherwise, it is a great camera! Perfect for traveling -- light, compact, and inconspicuous. In fact, I plan on buying one for myself before my next trip abroad!

Nice Marketing - Bad Results.......2002-03-24

My wife and I are very disappointed in this product. Pictures were very grainy using both 100 & 400 ASA film and the red eye reduction should have been labeled "Give Everyone Intense Red Eyes". Bottom line, don't even think about buying this cameria. It [stunk]!

Small and conveniant!.......2002-03-05

I have one of those very expensive Nikon's, it takes fantastic pictures, but it is big and very heavy! I needed something I could carry around in my purse for those "I wish I had a camera!" moments. Having a son they are a lot more frequent! I decided to try the Elph, and when I got it I was suprised how light and small (maybe I'm just used to big and heavy?) but I decide to hurry and test it to make sure it took decent pictures. When I got my pictures developed I was very pleased. I tried it in low light and bright outdoors, it did well on both. Of course, with all small cameras, because of where the flash is located, you cannot avoid red eye. Only the flashes that detach can, so that is to be expected. Other then that it is perfect for what I need it for. I would certainly suggest it to anyone.

Amazon.com Product Description

One of the world's smallest, lightest 140mm zoom cameras, the Stylus Zoom 140 QD enhances photographic performance without sacrificing portability. The fully automatic operation includes quartz dating, autofocus, autoexposure, and auto loading and rewinding. The multi-autofocus system ensures focus accuracy even when your main subject isn't in the center of the frame. Its clamshell barrier design provides worry-free protection against the elements.

One of its best features is the variable-power flash for natural color tones. The red-eye reduction flash mode emits a series of pre-flashes right before the shutter snaps, allowing the subject's eyes to adjust to the light level of the flash, which reduces the red-eye effect. Night scene flash mode automatically lowers the shutter speed to ensure that both foreground and background are properly illuminated for night scenes. Fill-in flash mode softens the sharp contrasts for a more natural look in photos where your subject is in both bright light and dark shadow. Flash-off mode is available when flash photography is not permitted, or for special moody effects using available light.

Other features include macro close-ups from as near as 24 inches (wide-angle) and 35 inches (telephoto), and a self-timer. All this makes it easy to just relax and take the picture.

Worst camera I've owned - - I threw my money away .......2005-01-11

In July 2004, just a month after I got the 140 QD CG camera, it started jamming when I'd extend the zoom lens. Made a series of horrid clicking sounds when I'd extend it, or try to pull it back in. Put in fresh battery (again), tried again - - jammed up, wouldn't rewind the film at the end of a roll, lost all photos. Boxed it up, sent it back to Olympus at my expense, and received it back about 3 weeks later, with a xeroxed piece of paper - - no letter of explanation as to repair or problem - - just a schematic of the film case, yellow-highlighted, and all I could gather from this lack of information was they were trying to tell me I was loading the film incorrectly. That would make the zoom lens and lens cover jam and click and take out-of-focus photos? I think not. So, back from the factory, I proceeded to try again, and the camera worked for about a month - - by December same problems were back - - several rolls of film later, photos still coming back out of focus, zoom lens jamming, lens cover jamming. Haven't decided yet whether to return it to Olympus and tell them they've lost me as a customer, or throw it off the highest cliff. Don't waste your money on this product. It was disappointing to find out that Olympus doesn't seem to care about communicating or making things right. This was my first and last Olympus product, even though I'd heard great things about their stuff.

Wonderful! Simple to use, great photos........2003-11-23

The two most important features to me are the quality of the photos a camera takes (with and w/out the zoom), and how quickly the picture is taken when you press the shutter and quick speed between photos. This camera delivers both those features.

I had an Olympus Stylus for years, then a year ago thought I should get a new autofocus camera and read snappy advertising by Nikon about their special glass lens technology for incredibly sharp pictures blah blah blah. I was sold. That camera took terrible fuzzy or grainy photos with the zoom, and not that great without the zoom lens. And the worst part was the wait time between photos with and without the flash. We'd press the shutter also, and there would be a few second delay before the photo was taken. By then all the kids had moved and we had to set everybody up all over again. Do not buy a Nikon lite touch.

I love the Olympus. We've taken it to the ocean and snapped four rolls of film. Every photo was sharp, colorful, and good quality. I cannot tell you how releived we were when we got the photos. Olympus makes a great product at a great price without a lot of pomp and circumstance.

Very Good Camera.......2003-10-15

It doesn't suck. I cannot believe some of the negative comments about this camera. I've had one for a while and it's always taken great pictures. The only problems that I've had is when the people at Eckerd screw up the processing (but they have ALWAYS reprinted at NO COST) to correct the problems. For a point and shoot, it does a great job of focusing. 1 last thing, use Fuji film. I have always had better results with it than Kodak.

Too bad it didn't last!.......2003-04-20

I bought this camera about 2 1/2 years ago. I was very satisfied with the picture quality under a variety of conditions. Unfortunately, a couple of weeks ago it quit focusing. As it turns out for this type of camera all photo repair shops send the unit in to Olympus to have it repaired. If you want you can send it to Olympus directly yourself. The problem is that regardless of the problem, the repair is a flat rate ... which is rapidly approaching the cost of just buying a replacement camera. Disappointing...

Excellent!.......2003-04-01

I think it is great! It is the kind of camera I've always wanted. Very light, compact and easy to use. The images are perfect!! The zoom function is perfect and it is NOT noisy at all. I am very pleased with my purchase. Thanks, www.Amazon.com for the good recommendation!
