Canon PowerShot ELPH 350 HS (Black)

The Canon PowerShot ELPH 350 HS is a very nice pocket camera. I am an amateur photographer. I typically use a Nikon DSLR. I was going on a trip to Manhattan and space was an issue. I wanted to take a camera, but not my DSLR. After reading many reviews by photographers, I settled on the 350 HS. It is a solid camera with same build quality found in previous models and that of other pocket cameras. It performed fair in moderate light. It captured great shots when in good light. The optical zoom is in my opinion its best feature. While the camera does have wifi and will sync to Canon's app, I found this feature to be useless. I was using the iOS version of the Cannon app and its garbage. Hardly ever would the camera sync to app. If a feature isn't consistent its not a feature. I stuck to pulling the SD card out and importing my photos the traditional way. I'm not taking the camera review score down as I feel the app was the cause of pain and therefore I rate the app poorly. The camera I like. The included Canon battery life was limited in my opinion and I found that was the biggest complaint of others reviewing this camera. Knowing this prior to my trip I took spare third party batteries from Vivitar which had extra capacity and worked great (see other review). For the price category of this camera it does a great job with photos in most normal situations. It's a good starter camera or backup when you need a grab and go option.

Bought this camera to replace a Canon camera I had for 10 years that I have somehow lost. Loved the original Canon digital camera so when I saw this one at a great price on Amazon, I purchased it. The camera is easy to take pictures with by just reading the instructions in the owner's manual. I took over 500 pix on my European trip and edited them down to 438 using the camera's large screen. I had the pictures developed at my local Walgreen's and they are over-the-top gorgeous. The photos of Versailles are so detailed and the color so true that that they capture all the opulence of the rooms of the palace. One cannot use a flash in many of the cathedrals and other buildings and even those photos came out beautifully. The zoom is a 12X and really worked well showing up-close architectural details of the buildings. I wanted to load these photos onto my laptop but was not successful. I even emailed the Canon help sight and got an answer right away but I still was not successful. It is user error combined with a lack of clear detail in the owner's manual. Would buy this one again for sure!not give this camera a 5 star rating. I am sure it is user error and my son-in-law can do it for me.

My old canon finally decided it wanted to retire and stopped working. I bought this one to replace it. It works just as well as my other camera, so I'm happy about that. It's small and compact, which I also wanted because I like putting it in my pocket to pull out when "spur of the moment" events occur. This camera fits the bill quite well. I also like the WiFi feature for transferring pictures to my phone. I've used it a few times already to transfer pictures to my phone and then send them to other people basically right when they ask. I'm giving the camera 4 stars, though, because I really wish it would take pictures faster. Sometimes I think it has a hard time focusing or maybe the processor just isn't super fast, but I like to snap and shoot and there are occasions when it will pause and then take the picture.

Great quality

"Condition: Used - Good - 100% functional, in good used condition with some minor scratches and scuffs on the body. . Including the camera and battery only. The charger is not included and is available online for about $5." Camera look as if it was dropped from a jet the scratches are not minor definitely engraved and the battery is aftermarket and doesn't hold charge. With added insult they charge a restock fee for a product they are going to sell to the next person and they return it because of inaccurate description continuing the process over again pocketing a restock fee from the next person, super shady!

The media could not be loaded. Love the camera but it has way more settings then I thought it would have. Although this is probably a great factor for some people, I was actually just looking for something that was very simple. Takes fairly well pictures in regular "AUTO" mode except at night. On "AUTO", a night flash goes off or don't go off, always at the wrong time. Picture's aren't that great in AUTO, their lacking color & they seem pretty drab to say the least. Im Low light, the AUTO settings take very grainy pictures! There is a setting called "Vivid" which really brings out the color in the pictures fairly well.As far as the manual settings, these are mostly all available except the aperture setting. Film Speed, various shutter settings, etc. . (about 5-6 setting each.All in all, it's probably a nice camera, Im just going to have to perhaps get used to it abit more. I replaced an old Samsung camera but it's disappointing that this camera in 4-5 times more expensive yet lacks the great pictures the cheap old Samsung gets-

Liked the fact do not waste time

This camera has -(for the for-seeable future)- replaced our Canon 940. Will continue to look for a better camera, but when somethingbreaks down at an odd-ball moment, you go and get what is quickly available through the manufacture you trust - in this case - CANON......and you make do..... Xmas & New Years and several family Birthdays between Dec-March .....we needed a camera and thus far, it hasfit our bill. We will keep this camera and use it ... but, we are now looking for something along the order of our ex-suddenly-retired Canon940....or better....it served us well on so many important occasions as we are sure this one will as well but.....
