I really like this little camera. It has a nice big screen to view and take the picture. Even though it is nice and thin it is long enough to hold on to. It really does every thing for you and it is very user friendly.

This is my second Elph camera and I love them. The one thing I did not realize is this one has a different size battery than my previous Elph. I had to buy a spare battery in the new size.

This was purchased to replace another Canon camera that I had which was damaged. I like the features of the camera and ease of use. I am hopeful that this model performs as well as my last one!

Camera came with nice free extras (case, memory card). Used for close-up pictures mostly and as a backup for phone camera. Video Image stabilization works well. No issues so far.

Overall this is a good camera, especially for the price. Some more expensive models we looked at did not have the features this one did. It is not a DSLR, but it's not meant to be. Easy to carry around for unexpected shots or busy events when you don't need DSLR quality and you don't want to be, "that guy with the camera," and still better than the one in the iphone.

We purchased this camera (and we have 10 others) for exclusive use outside. Though they handle the heat in Phoenix well their build quality only lends to them lasting about a year before they develop mechanical issues. I cannot complain as they are cheap-costing cameras and definitely fit the slot we needed until we could find a tougher camera.

Took this to Africa to visit family and the shots were great and so easy to use. I plugged right into my laptop to be able to show other family once I arrived home.

My 75 yr old mother loves it! Once she learns how to use it really well I'll upgrade her.

I have had an older version of this camera and was very pleased with it. I have found this camera just as friendly user as my previous one. Love how easy it is to use and would recommend it.
