For a small camera, this gives great pictures, especially with autofocus. And the pictures don't take a long time to transfer from the camera to the computer!! If you're starting out in photography, I would recommend this product.

This camera is the worst ever. I wanted a small camera with excellent zoom and this camera takes blurry unfocused pictures! Sometimes you click it to take a picture and it doesn't even work! HORRIBLE quality never buying a Canon again! My previous Canon was 100 times better but unfortunately it stopped working after a few years.

I bought this less than a year ago, and the display screen does not work anymore. I am not ready to have a heart attack by trying to find out what it will cost to fix. Very disappointed.

I purchased a ELPH 150 IS Blue the end of November 2015. After taking a number of pictures inside, I found all the pictures were not in focus. I made arrangement to return it for repair. After discussions with Canon Customer Relations, the camera was replaced with another ELPH 150 IS. It has the same problem. It is possible to sharpen the pictures with photo editing software, but who wants to waste time doing that, when another brand camera would work better. My five year old Sony Cyber-shot DSC-W570 provided sharper pictures, but it is broken. I see the price is even less than what I paid in Canon Store.

I am delighted with the camera but mention should have been made that it did not include a memory card.

I bought this camera last November. I has not worked half the time. When you push the button to take a picture, sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't. The battery dies all the time. I bought another one and it doesn't last any time. Horrible purchase. Wish I had never bought it.

Camera very compact and easy to use. Nice range of adjustments and zoom features. Automatic functions work well in most situations. All focusing/composition must be done on view panel. No direct thru the lense sight viewing possible. So- taking pictures in bright light conditions (sun at your backscreen becomes completely black and focal image is completely wiped out. While this is frustrating- the little devil's auto focus often takes nice pictures even if held in the general direction of what you want to capture. Not wanted stuff can be edited out (cropped) at a later date. Bright screen works well in indoor low light situations. Great detail and very fine adjustments possible indoors (museums). Easy to carry, fun to use- worth the price!

Overall this is an excellent camera. It has, in my opinion, only two shortfalls. The first is a lack of a glare-proof viewing screen. The second is there is no separate viewfinder to overcome the first deficiency.

I like point and shoot cameras, and I was given the PowerShot ELPH 150 IS as a gift because my other one (not a Canon was getting old and tired. On a glorious day, I went to a point where I could get a shot of the ocean side of the Golden Gate Bridge and took a picture. I was with my son who has all the lenses, different gadgets, takes him a while to get the perfect picture. He also took a picture - same view as mine. At home, later that day, we compared pictures, and my point and shoot Canon PowerShot was every bit as good in terms of color and sharpness as his. I am so pleased.

You'll love the flexibility it gives you when shooting with an amazing range of 24-240mm (35mm equivalent) in a slim, stylish compact camera.

DIGIC 4+ Image Processor
The PowerShot ELPH 150 IS camera's DIGIC 4+ Image Processor features accelerated processing speed to create fast, responsive performance, giving you a shooting experience that's easy and natural. The DIGIC 4+ Image Processor also enhances image quality in several ways. Processing of high ISO shots has been shortened by 60% compared to the DIGIC 4 Image Processor. This significantly reduces noise for brilliant color, smooth gradations, and beautiful detail even in low light. The processor also allows for the integration of electronic Dynamic IS. This advanced system compensates for multiple motion types, effectively preventing angular blur, shift blur, and blur caused by parallel movement and tilt shift. The result is images that are reliably sharp and clear at all lengths of the camera's powerful 10x zoom. The processor's highly efficient design also extends battery life.
720p HD video
Using the slim PowerShot ELPH 150 IS, you can shoot high definition video anytime, anywhere.

Smart AUTO
Getting that great shot is as simple as pressing the shutter button on the PowerShot ELPH 150 IS camera with Smart AUTO, which automatically detects scenes by assessing various factors in both the background and the subject. On the PowerShot ELPH 150 IS, detected scenes are analyzed using 32 predefined shooting situations. The camera then makes optimal settings to ensure the best possible image capture, whether you're shooting stills or video. Smart AUTO also includes Advanced Subject Detection, which allows the camera to detect and track non-human moving subjects like animals and vehicles. With Smart AUTO, all you have to do is frame your shot and capture away.
Intelligent IS
It's easy to capture clear, steady images with the PowerShot ELPH 150 IS, even in low light without using a tripod. That's because the camera is equipped with Canon's innovative Intelligent IS. The system automatically analyzes camera movement and applies the best shake correction method for the shooting situation - allowing you to focus on framing and capturing your shot. For stills, the system selects from Normal IS, Panning IS, Macro (Hybrid) IS and Tripod modes. When shooting video, the system selects from Dynamic IS, Powered IS, Macro (Hybrid) IS and active Tripod IS modes. New icons clearly mark the image stabilization mode, whether you're shooting still images or video.
Creative Shooting Modes
The PowerShot ELPH 150 IS provides shooting modes that easily give your shots a distinctly artistic feel without the need for any extra lenses and filters. Super Vivid heightens and saturates colors for eye-popping intensity. Poster Effect eliminates gradations between colors for an illustrative feel. Miniature Effect enhances perspective in a scene, blurring the top and bottom to make it look as if it were created with miniature models. You can also make a quirky portrait using the Fisheye Effect or add a beautiful single-tone effect with Monochrome. Toy Camera Effect simulates a vintage look as if capturing the photo using a "toy" or pinhole camera.
ECO Mode
The PowerShot ELPH 150 IS features ECO Mode to provide more shots per single charge through LCD monitor and camera power management. The mode can be activated via a dedicated button for easy power preservation when an outlet is unavailable or the moment is too exciting to put the camera down. ECO Mode quickly wakes the camera from sleep when a button is pressed so you won't miss the moment. When the fun with family and friends runs late into the evening, ECO Mode makes sure your camera keeps up.
Help Button
The PowerShot ELPH 150 IS camera is designed to be fun and easy to use, even for beginners. A Help Button on the camera's exterior brings up the help menu any time you need it, right on the LCD screen. From here, you can scroll through a variety of topics that answer your questions with clear explanations, offer helpful shooting advice, and show you diagrams highlighting the position of any buttons you'll need.
