Also known as the Power Shot S-100, the digital Elph is perhaps the world's smallest and lightest 2 megapixel digital camera. This pixel count provides enough quality to print standard 4 x 6 photos that look as good as film, and the Elph's tiny size enables you to slip it in your shirt pocket and take it virtually anywhere. Canon has combined a high resolution chip with a lot of features. Make no mistake, the number one, two and three reasons to buy the Elph lie in its tiny size. It is fun and convenient to carry along. For extras you get a budget price (around $500), many user options, a zoom lens and simplicity of use. You won't be disappointed. www.powershot.com

The Chilly is a cool way to make delicious ice cream without breaking a sweat. Simply fill a stainless steel bowl with ingredients and freeze. The secret to the Chilly is a saline solution embedded in the walls of the bowl, much like an ice pack, that once frozen produces enough "chill" to harden your ice cream or yogurt in less than 20 minutes.

The much-anticipated Canon 1V has lived up to expectations. This is probably the most advanced 35 mm SLR on the market. Speed is the essence of this decidedly pro-spec model. The highlights include an improved exposure control along with an exclusive "active mirror control" that quickly locks the mirror in place to prevent bounce, allowing a remarkable 10 frames per second to be shot. As befits the ultimate pro camera, it has won awards across the world; it's expensive (around $1900 street); it's big; and it's chunky. If there is something you need a camera to do, this camera and it's formidable stable of Canon optics can do it. www.usa.canon.com

The Good Grips Ice Scraper is lightweight and comfortable to hold, but strong enough to remove a thick layer of ice. The shatterproof blade features "knuckles" on the top side for cracking thicker ice. The Ice Scraper’s soft, non-slip handle allows you to apply more scraping pressure while minimizing stress to the hand. www.oxo.com

There must be some magic in the word Elph. Several years ago Canon's tiny, stainless steel ELPH film camera single handedly salvaged the fledgling APS format, and now the new filmless version of the ELPH has done it again resurrecting Canon's mediocre consumer digital camera line. Read more
