Canon Original Elph APS Camera, is made by Canon. The list price is around US$199.99.
I have experienced the dreaded "flashing H" problem about 7 times (based on my usage of this camera this translate into a dissapointing 15% failure rate!!). What happens is that after inserting new film it goes to the unwind phase and then the H flashes on the LED display. I have been able to fix the problem a couple of time by fiddling with the battery (shoving it in and out a couple of times). Otherwise the whole role of film is wasted. This is a very serious problem. The camera failed on several occasions where I really need to get pictures. Ever since this happened, I always carry back up disposable camera. This shouldnt be necessary when you buy a camera (Its really a big joke!)

Canon Sure Shot 85 Platinum Zoom Date 35mm Camera Kit (includes strap, case, film and battery), is made by Canon Cameras US. The list price is around US$159.99.
I had a Ricoh 35mm for about 12 years (I loved that camera - I took it everywhere). It finally just broke. I needed a new camera - after many hours of research we decided to buy a canon. We bought the 85 and the 120. We took identical pictures with both cameras. The 85 had red eye problems even when the red-eye function was on. The 120 has similar but fewer red-eye problems. The color and crispness was beautiful. However, the red-eye simply ruins the photos. I never used the red-eye function on my Ricoh - and when reviewing my last few hundred photos - I noticed that I never had red-eye. I'm so dissapointed that Ricoh no longer sells the 35mm. I returned both cameras. I am now stuck with no camera. Do not buy a canon buy this camera!

B + W 72mm #502 Color Graduated Filter - Dark Grey Neutral Density (ND), is made by B + W. The list price is around US$131.84.
Since the grad position is only adjustable in a circular motion verses an up and down motion it makes this filter virtually unusable as the pattern's darkness cannot be adjusted.

Canon PowerShot A100 1.2MP Digital Camera, is made by Canon. The list price is around US$279.99.
I still believe in the quality of Canon cameras but after using this one for a few months, it's been increasingly difficult to get it to take pictures. When I press the button for it to take, it often does not actually take the picture and must be pressed repeatedly for it to take. I thought perhaps this was just a problem with my camera but my friend has a PowerShot A200 and complains of the same problem. This presents a frustrating problem because I cannot ask other people to take pictures for me as they do not necessarily know how to "coerce" the camera. The other problem I've encountered is that you can't change the manual/automatic settings without turning on the LCD. This causes an enormous drain on the battery. The settings are also difficult to find if you don't have your user's manual at hand. Other than these problems, this is a great little digital camera at a good price. The pictures I have taken successfully with this camera have all turned out good and clear.
