Canon - PowerShot ELPH 520 HS 10.1-Megapixel Digital Camera - Silver

I have own so many cameras over the past years and by far this is the best!!!! The zoom is great, I only use the optical zoom and its awesome still gives great detail to the picture. The AUTO mode is the best, I do not have to be choosing the scene it, the only thing that I do sometimes is to cancel the flash for some pictures. In terms of focusing, It has the option to pop up a small screen so you can see better what are you focusing on. It has the face recognition so that it would give priority during exposure which works great. For a mom of two, highly active kids I adore this camera, it gives great picture and is easy to carry in comparison to an SLR. The only thing is the battery life, I plan on buying one or two extra batteries for trips and I carry the charger on my purse at all times. I guess that's a little inconvenience for such a smart little camera. btw IT NEEDS A MICRO SD CARD I invested on a 16 GB, to replace the two 4GB SD Cards I had with my previous camera.

I had a friend who had a Canon with color accent/color swap & I knew I had to have one! I wanted an upgraded one with HD & video & more features than hers had, so I looked on the site & found the Canon 520HS. I found mine at Best Buy in store on display, as it was being d/c. They matched the online sale price & quickly ordered a battery, as the display one was missing, which I paid for & they deducted the price from the camera & the another 10% for my trouble. The camera which was $249 originally, I ended up getting for $99 + tax! I love this small package of dynamite! It has a great zoom capacity, HD video, great in low light, takes the clearest of pics, even when taking close-ups or small detailed items. It has a setting to take a small video clip before a snapshot to put together a video of your day out even! This is the best camera I have ever owned!

I bought this camera because I wanted something easy to carry around for a trip. I am completely satisfied with the functionality of this camera! I wish that it used a standard SD card instead of the Micro-SD just because carrying around the adapter has proven to be a hassle. Great picture quality and easy to use! I would definitely recommend this camera.

I wanted a camera that would let me take great night shots outside and good pictures indoors without a flash. This camera certainly fits the bill. I was able to take amazing pictures that were super crisp. I really like that it has a 12x optical zoom--amazingly clear picture even when far away. The camera is light and small and perfect for vacations and everyday use. The only drawback that I discovered was that after being in certain mode, like low light mode, or when recording videos the battery would drain very quickly. On vacation, I had to charge it every day.

I love the pictures taken on this compact camera. However, the battery life is so short that I only was able to take 50 pictures before recharging. I also was not aware that the camera takes a micro mini SD card. Has not caused any problems so far.

Canon - PowerShot ELPH 520 HS has excellent features for such a compact camera. Definitely an excellent buy for under $120. Camera body could have been rounded a bit so it's not so boxy. Only major distraction is the picture quality is not as crisp as my other Canons.

very awesome camera, I got it because the pixels are high, the camera is small & it has a lot of features

Beautiful camera. Easy to manage. I opted for features and action shot capability over pixels. I happily realize for an amateur photographer, pixels aren't a big deal
