Opinion: Excellent camera overall, but so-so focussing and indoor images.
Opinion: A lot of bang for the buck, especially if you purchase it through a Canadian reseller like Henry's because the rechargeable battery and AC charger are included. Very sturdy and easy-to-use. Pics are very sharp, and though it's only 2x optical zoom, the digital zoom works well. Can't beat the size if you're looking for a take-anywhere digital camera. Love the USB connection and Type I and II slots.
Problems: Can consume batteries if you use the LCD frequently so I'd recommend getting the rechargeable battery and AC charger.
Opinion: Perfect camera for those who demand excellent image quality in a small 'carry-anywhere' compact camera with above average features and functions.
Opinion: Image quality is often better comparing to other digital cameras. I would say that S10 is one of the best consumer digital cameras. However, the color reproduction is often poor, especially indoors with flash. No external flash connector is provided. Metal body looks goods, but many parts, like battery and flashcard covers are made using a cheap metal-painted plastic. No remote control is provided for the camera.
Problems: The USB driver provided with the camera does not work in Windows 2000. Battery life is very short. The power consumption is so high that the camera gets warm.
