Here is the first shot from my new Canon S100 digicam. It's the S2000Online command center

Congrats... I also have one of these excellent cams. Did you purchase a downloader with it? I have one for my PC and also a PCMCIA downloader for my notebook.

I'm very satisfied with this little sucker myself. I bought new clothing for it too.
The canon soft leather cover fits perfectly.
It was only 15 bucks.
I also got additional 64 MB CF for....forgot...110 I think with $25 rebate.
I got a parallel port reader since NT doesn't support USB....for $29.
I wanted to get another 64MEG lexar CF that comes with USB reader.
I need more CF for the vacation.

Great little camera. I also bought a carrying case that fits on a belt. Small and out of the way. For pics taken at Disneyworld:

That's the invoice underneath the case.
I got it on 10/23. (even though they said that they wouldn't ship till 10/23)
It was for $469.

Here is a shot at the removeable drive.
It works very well because I like using DOS to move files.

There were better prices, but after talking to a few snobs, I decided Harmony sounded more trust worthy.

I was right. While they promised the camera would be shipped on 10/23, I actually got the camera on that day.
The package appears to be original and without any fingerprints (not refurbished).
The warranty card was for Canon US, not one of those illegal import.
I wanted to get it from OnVia.com since I got everything else from them. Unfortunately, they didn't have S100 at all.

Avoid DIGITAL DOG!!!!!!!!!
