Actually dropped it while camping, fell 8' onto STONE and still works great! Rare, since most electronics equipment will DIE instantly with a fall onto a hard... I purchased my new original S45 several years ago and enjoyed using it. I used it so much that I wore the markings off the selection dial. I never recieved the camera that I purchase. There no explanation why the seller send me the camera. This was my first digital camera, I've had it for a little over five years now and it's still going strong, even after I dropped and dented it the first week that I got it;

This has been a great 1st camera - easy to use but the biggest complaint is that no matter what setting you use - it is not good at removing red eye. We are a clutzy family and this camera has been dropped multiple times onto concrete or asphalt pavement.

Happy with the features, functions, and performance of the camera in all except one area. The red eye reduction function is useless. I'd been waiting for the five megapixel version of the digital Elph, but when the first reviews of that camera came out, I was a little disappointed.

This is a great camera. My pictures always turn out well. Every piece of equipment made has some shortcomings... The camera is not an Elph (i.e. heavier and larger).

of automatic and manual exposure controls, a 3x optical zoom lens, JPEG and RAW file formats, and in-camera adjustment of image contrast, sharpness, and colorIn addition to these features, relative to the earlier S40, the S45 also offers an updated user interface, more customizable features, a nine-pointLike other Canon digicams, the S45 has a direct-to-inkjet printer connection, enabling the user to make prints not only to the Canon CP-10 and CP-100 Photo Card Printers, but also to several of the company's newest inkjet ("bubble-jet" in Canon's terminology) printers.

Changes from the Canon PowerShot S40 Just as the preceding PowerShot S40 was based on Canon's G2, the new S45 is based on Canon's G3 model. ("A G3 in sheep's clothing" might be an apt description.) Thus, the S45 shares many of the same advancements over the S40 that the G3 has relative to the G2.

I address all of these in the text of the review, but also assembled the list below for more convenient, concise reference: Faster processing, thanks to DiGiC processor - The S45 uses the same main processing chip we saw in the G3 and S230. This faster, lower-power chip improves autofocus speed and cycle times, while slightly reducing power consumption. (By roughly 15 percent, depending on the camera's operating mode.) 12 bits per channel digitizing and processing. deriving from the "Digic" chip. The greater bit depth helps preserve detail in highlight regions. Modified/Enhanced user interface - Canon's recent cameras have an improved/expanded "Func" button, which presents essentially all primary camera settings under a single menu system, rapidly accessible fromThe change is subtle, but greatly improves ease of use and operating speed relative to Canon's previous menu structure. "Photo Effects" changes - "Photo Effects" options

of Vivid, Neutral, Low Sharpening, Sepia, B&W, Custom appear under the FUNC button, and are now available in all exposure modes. New "Custom" exposure mode - The S45 sports a new "C" Mode-dial setting that lets you quickly recall a wide variety of shooting settings you previously saved in P, Tv, Av, or M shooting modes. that can be recalled via the Custom mode include all shooting menu settings, the lens zoom position, and the manual focus setting. Nine-point AiAF / Flexible AF point option - More G3-level technology. In AiAF mode, the camera utilizes a matrix of nine AF zones, choosing the most appropriate ones for each subject. You can also manually move an AF-area window freely around the frame, to a more or less continuous range of positions within the central 60 percent or so of the image area. Focus bracketing - This feature is a carryover from the G3. focus bracketing enabled, the camera will shoot three exposures in rapid succession,

in front of, at, and behind the current subject/focusing distance. focus bracketing is only available when the flash is disabled.) Improved exposure algorithms - In yet another carryover from the G3, the S45 uses Canon's Intelligent Scene Analysis based on PhotographicThe camera uses a variety of factors including multi-segment scene brightness and focusing distance to determine exposure, cross-referencing them against a table of known scene types. The overall result is that the camera is less likely to be "fooled" by scenes with unusual brightness Two manual white balance presets - You can now save two different Custom white balance settings, and switch quickly back and forth between them without having to re-shoot a white card each time. I really appreciate this feature, as it's very handy when you have to switch back and forth between two different lighting conditions. (For instance, indoors and outdoors at a party or gathering.)

Orientation sensor - Cleverly tags images as vertical or horizontal format, depending on the orientation of the camera when the shot was taken.. Expanded controls - New settings options let you enable or disable Manual Focus zoom (magnification of central portion of image during MF operations), distance units used in MF display, AF assist light, Auto Rotate, File Number Reset, and change USB mode. Manual flash control - Manually set flash output of 1/3, 2/3 or FULL. Available in Manual exposure mode, or optionally in either Aperture or ShutterManual flash control is designed to facilitate use of the S45 with conventional slave triggers for studio strobes. In Manual flash mode, the S45's built-in flash emits only a single pulse of light (there's no pre-flash for metering), so ordinary slave triggers will synchronize properly with the opening of the S45's shutter. Long-exposure flash sync control - Choose between "1st-curtain"

Intervalometer - An option for time-lapse shooting, with interframe intervals of one to 60 minutes, and from two to 100 total shots. Movie clip length - The S45 can now record movie clips nonstop for up to three minutes. Playback zoom - The S45 can magnify images up to 10x on the LCD screen during playback, vs. the 5x maximum of the S40. Expanded direct printing capabilities - The S45 will print directly (no computer required) to Canon's CP-10, CP-100 dye-sub printer, as well as the S830D and S530D Bubble Jet printers. The S40 only printed to the CP-10. EXIF 2.2 - The S45's JPEG file headers now include full EXIF 2.2 data, supporting the open ExifPrint standard for improved color and tonal rendition by EXIF 2.2-compliant printers.--> Visit our discussion forum for the Canon PowerShot S45!
