They use all glass aspheric elements in their lenses. Here are clips from their Press Releases to confirm this (did my homework this time). Canon ELPH: .....ultra-sharp 24-48mm all -glass aspheric lens; Canon EF 28-135 f/3.5-5.6 IS USM zoom lens: Optical construction of the lens includes the use of a glass-molded aspheric element for high image quality.

I've never heard it was glass. I don't think it is. And do know Canon uses a hybrid Aspheric element that is part glass part plastic in some of its consumer lenses.
