Canon Elph 2 Camera

Canon Elph 2 CameraThe Canon Elph 2 is one of the world's smallest APS cameras equipped with a 2x zoom lens. Even though it is constructed out of durable stainless steel, it still weighs a mere 6 ounces and is about the size of a deck of cards. It is a fully automatic point-and-shoot you can really take anywhere.

The Canon Elph 2 includes an all-glass aspherical lens with hybrid autofocus, automatic exposure control, built-in flash with red-eye reduction, and intuitive film speed setting. It offers a 10-second self-timer compatible with an optional RC-5 remote. Alongside these foolproof features, you get the ease of use of the APS format, including drop-in film loading, midroll change, and an array of other user-friendly features. You can choose between three print formats--classic, group, or panoramic--as well as a number of date imprint options.

The Canon Elph 2 operates on a lithium CR-2 battery. This kit includes a battery as well as a carrying case, a strap, and a roll of film to get you snapping pictures right away.
