Canon PowerShot Digital Elph

The Good

Wi-Fi capability includes full remote control and capture; ultracompact design; excellent burst capabilities; low shutter lag.

The Bad

Cannot e-mail from camera as with Kodak's EasyShare One; no remote capture via USB; few manual controls or scene modes; image quality far from stellar.

The Bottom Line

The Canon SD430 is the only consumer-level choice out there for wireless remote shooting and capture, but it's an otherwise average camera.
