The Elph is a new just-about-auto-everything camera, made by Canon, for the APS format.(Geese, it's not for me... I'd rather keep on making my own mistakes...I've been successfully doing it for years, now! Got a heck of a lot of 'em in print, too!!!) Having written that...I'm waiting for the Leica police to remove me from this exchange... Why did we start to talk about it here?...Oh, yeah, I remember...we were discussin' Leicas...and whether or not they would ever introduce an APS camera...or some such...and then we started to discuss what world class manufacturers were going into APS..and then we got into Canon ELPHS... And, as Paul Harvey would say, "Now you know the rest of the story..." Sorry...and "no" it's not a helper for Santa Claus...and it has nothing to do with Rudolph (of reindeer fame)...or Leica, for that matter... SO LET'S GET ON TO MORE PERTINENT SUBJECTS, HERR FRITZ...
