 Good quality photos, poor Wi-Fi implementation Aug 06, 2007
By L. Abate
Camera is too large to be considered a true "elph." Doesn't look that attractive with the odd antenna off to the left side. Wi-Fi doesn't even work with Mac OSX so any Mac users out there may want to pass on this one. If you don't mind the slightly larger size, have a computer running Windows OS, and really want a Wi-Fi enabled digicam the sd430 may not be a bad choice (for the under $200.00 price tag)
To me, however, the novelty of being able to transfer photos via an old standard (802.11 b) wireless protocol does not justify the larger size and awkwardness of this camera.
***Update***
While I did return this camera, a reviewer noted that with a firmware update, the camera will now work with the Mac. About time, Canon!

 Wifi features actually works well Jul 25, 2007
By A. Stevens
Well, canon photo quality is a good start. I bought this camera to upgrade from 3MP SD200. Both take excellent pictures and movies, although it is limited to 1GB file size or roughly 8 minutes.
Now the WIFI feature is the one that stands out from this camera. It works really well, and it is easy enough to get connected. If you want to connect to existing home network with router, just follow the instructions, input SSID and password. Just make sure you enabled ICMPv.4 in your firewall settings or else you get disconnected all the time. For ad hoc connections, I use my laptop's network settings to just pick up ad hoc signals, and you can use it wherever you go just bring your laptop. No problems with wifi connection to printers whatsoever, in fact you don't need to set up anything, it is pre-set to use with pict bridge compatible printers.
Remote capture is also a neat feature, I want to use it for baby monitor so no need to buy an fancy, expensive one.

SD430 Wi-Fi Aug 31, 2007
By David A. Silber
"DAS"
Good camera as it is - fully featured point and shoot (have to like Canon) - low noise at lover ISO - excellent prints for 5MP - body is plasticly (part of Wi-Fi design as per Canon rep.) - Wi-Fi is actually a very nice feature of this camera and it works like a charm. Good camera with a wireless bonus - if you do not care about Wi-Fi, look at other cameras in this price range with features like IS or bigger/wider zoom.
Anyhow this is another Canon well done - 5 star camera - 4.5 for Wi-Fi (had to download a plug for it to work), but it works and it works very well.
Recommended!

If you are having second thoughts about purchasing this item, then im here to say its worth it. I bought it on may 6 from amazon. And it was totally worth it. It has great battery life. And the pictures on the computyer are very clear. The manual is easy to use and very clear. I am not good with cameras but this one was easy to operate. I highly recommend it. GREAT CAMERA...CANON is the best!

great little camera - workable wi-fi Sep 24, 2008
By Peter Anderson
"onebigswede"
I bought this camera a month or so ago after my old Canon S400 was stolen. I needed an affordable camera quick since we were going on a 2 week trip to europe. When I found this camera for about $100, I jumped on it.
The camera takes great pictures, although dark light can be tough (like most cameras). The movie mode works well. The size is small enough to fit in your pocket.
The wi-fi features of the camera work well. It's nice to be able to just come home, turn the camera on, connect to the network and send the photos to the computer downstairs - without having to actually go down there. If you're transferring larger numbers of photos this may not work as well, i usually connect via USB to do that.
The only negative I've found with the camera so far is that it doesn't feel as sturday as my old tank of a camera, the s400. it feels a little plasticky.
