    I charged the camera for about a day cause I didn’t plan to use it until the day after. Literally took like 5 photos to just try it out and get the hang of it.. try to use it the next day and it’s dead? My canon eos50 battery lasts for 3 events in a month until I have to charge it (guesstimating but it’s true) Camera takes great pictures love that it fits in my small bags not bulky like my eos. An option to have the flash always on would be awesome. But it’s super cute! Definitely worth it. And I love you can add the date and time stamp. And yes I will be buying extra batteries lol

    The camera is light and compact, it is a replacement for my previous model that I had had for 7 years. It has travelled the world and fits nicely into your pocket. It is an unassuming camera but takes some great pictures. I am happy with my new camera.

    I love this camera, it’s very cute and you can take it anywhere. 100% recommend I take it everywhere I go. A feature that I like about this camera is that you can easily transport videos and photos by wifi. All you have to do is download an app and connect it to your camera and your photos and videos can be easily downloaded. If you’re thinking about buying this camera BUY IT!!!!

    I have several PowerShot SX's and I like them. But I've been cycling a lot lately and I wanted something smaller and lighter. I didn't expect to find it to have almost twice the Megapixels as my last SX so that was a pleasant surprise. If you're use to using PowerShot then the User Interface is about the same thing. Design choices come down to compromises. I would have preferred a screen that tilts up but I like getting so much picture taking power in something smaller than my hand with a good image stabilizer capability. I really like being able to carry this little guy around my neck or tucked into a little gadget bag on the bike. I haven't considered mounting it on the bike because I think that the vibrations may be a little harsh for it. I like to stop to take a drink and shoot a few pictures and then attach the images to my ride maps on MyMaps.

    Used it for the first time on vacation. Was actually shocked at how well the zoom worked. Picked up the name of a beach grounded boat that was at least 1/2 mile away. All of our pictures turned out great

    I absolutely love this camera at first I wasn’t convinced cause I already have a canon PowerShot 130 IS I love my camera took vintage photos, made it look like my baby was born in the 2000s but then I grew out of it fairly quickly. I decided to pick up canon PowerShot 360 HS and honestly it’s the best decision I’ve ever made with my older camera. I definitely had to play with a Settings to satisfy my liking in pictures, since they did look vintage, but this camera, as soon as I took the first picture, it was perfect, especially selfies were great. It actually clears the tone on skin tones meaning with my old camera. For some reason it would take pictures as if my face was really red like if I had just washed it. Other than that I’m very satisfied with this camera a little bit newer than the one I previously had. I absolutely had no idea It had the feature of taking live pics like iPhone. Definitely do not hesitate to buy once it’s back in stock.

    So Much Fun!

    Ok I am in love with this camera! I am in college and bring this camera with me everywhere. Everyone always makes fun of me since we have cameras on our phones, but having this forces me to take pictures without being on my phone, so I have more fun! It has this mode called creative shot which gives you six images for every picture, and adds random filters, cropping, and makes the pictures look crazy! As in crazy fun! The only downside is that the screen did break. There is something wrong with the camera internally, but Canon has a year-warranty where I could get it replaced for free. But that would mean giving up the camera for about 2 weeks and honestly I do not want to give it up!!! I always end my nights with a few hundred photos and loveeeee going through all of them. When I go out or am with my friends, I literally just point and shoot and I can't even the see what is on the screen but I have so much fun with it, and some of the creative shot filters and edits are amazing. I would definitely recommend this. Best Buy College Crew members receive products to write honest, unbiased reviews.

    It seems to be a very versatile camera. In automatic i does a fine job for those hurried point and shoot times. In the manual mode, it allows you to change the aperture for high contrast, bright, or dim subjects. The camera also has presets for dark conditions and even fireworks displays. Having owned it about a month I'm still learning all of it's capabilities.

    I have been doing photography for over 15 and is an awful camera. I have had 5mp cameras with no optical zoom that shot photos 500 times better than this one. I bought this because I wanted something compact I can take anywhere but that doesn't work if it can't take crisp pictures. There is pixelation in every photo even in good lighting. I will be returning this camera it definitely is just awful and a disappointment.

    Great product! I've owned a few ELPH cameras through the years and this one is as great as the others! Good features for a $210 point-and-shoot camera. Smartphone cameras are catching up in quality BUT Point-and-Shoot cameras are still better because they have a physical zoom lens. This camera has great photo quality, burst mode at about 7 shots a second, good low-light images, decent battery life(Make sure you have at least 2 spare batteries if you're going to be taking photos all day. And it's small and slim which it will easily fit in a pocket or in a small case with spare batteries attached to a belt loop. Overall, a great compact camera. I definitely recommend the ELPH 360 HS over the ELPH 180 or 190 BECAUSE of the HS system, image stabilization(Especially when recording video) It's definitely worth the extra $40 or so. Canon has definitely dominated this market for years and will likely continue to do so for years to come.

    Canon 360 HS ReviewIn addition to updating some long-zoom PowerShots ahead of this year's CES expo, Canon also refreshed a number of their slim and sleek ELPH models. Starting with their top-of-the-line ELPH model, the Canon ELPH 360 HS replaces last year's ELPH 350
