EXTREMELY disappointing

SO disappointed in this camera. The battery is awful and doesn't last long and my camera lens cover started to malfunction and not open/close correctly after just 7 months. Then had to pay 40$ to ship it off to canon to get it repaired even though it is under warranty. Would not recommend whatsoever.

ELPH 360 HS

I was really expecting more out of this little camera especially for the wait and price increase. For some reason it was out of stock for a long while and then the price went up a lot. I find myself using my SX740HS more even though it weighs a heck of a lot more. I just like the feel of it better than the ELPH and I like having the resize and crop features that don't seem to be on the ELPH.

Last of the Great Micro Cameras?

I own an earlier version of the ELPH series, with 10mp and a 3x zoom. Been with me traveling the world, a constant companion. Even as cell cameras become more sophisticated, it is unlikely they will ever have a 12x optical zoom like this ELPH 360. This model is likely as far as the industry will take the pocket camera...cell phone cams have now satisfied most of the market. But if you still like to have a dedicated pocket cam with a long zoom...this one is it. Nothing else compares in such a tiny package.

Good camera

I bought this camera last year in July and I love it! But I bought it for 239.99 at the time and for it to go up 90.00 in less than a year is crazy?.. taking advantage if you ask me. Plus people paying 90 more and are still waiting for it months later??? pretty disappointing.

A fine camera for anyone!

The ELPH HS 360 camera is a high quality high resolution camera - easy to use and pocket sized. The auto-focus and auto-exposure works perfectly, and is adjustable for unusual lighting conditions. The optical wide angle to telephoto ability makes it possible to compose a photo without having to move closer or farther to the subject. A great camera!

Love this camera

I find this camera a joy to use. To be honest, I own several much more expensive cameras with larger sensors, but I take this one out more than any other. The autofocus is very fast and accurate, and I would say that the image quality is more than sufficient for most purposes. It's easy to transfer photos wirelessly from the camera to an iPhone. Just use the Canon app. The JPEGs straight from the camera are serviceable, but I usually do some light editing and convert them to black and white. i mainly use the camera for street photography. I like to take this camera on walks because it's very small and lightweight, and powers on fast. I don't bother with a bag-I just carry the camera in my hand. There are few manual controls, which doesn't bother me in slightest. If you need manual exposure get one of the higher end models.

Pocket Camera

A thin pocket camera that will give you 10,000-20,000 flawless images over the course of two to three years. Well worth $269 dollars if you ask me. Stupid cheap for the value. I probably take three times more images with this than my R8, which I also love. But the pocket factor is just so huge. This literally is in my pocket 18 hours a day.

LCD issues, otherwise good compact camera

Used the camera 2 years with no issues. Many settings and features to learn, but takes very good photos for compact camera. Then LCD screen began to deteriorate, first just a few lines on right of screen, but now fully one half screen is unusable. Cost to replace LCD at nearest Canon repair center is more than cost to buy a new one. Since there is no other way to frame photos, camera is useless.

Flash won't work

I bought this camera 2 months ago. I just tried using it for the first time a few days ago, and the flash does not work at all (the one thing I care about the most). I'm also experiencing battery issues. Don't buy this camera, or you might get a defective one.

This is a GREAT everyday everything Camera!

By Oregon G.

I bought this model when they first came out & it was so good my wife swiped it for her purse! So I bought a second one for me. Brilliant color pics, razor sharp clarity & wonderful HD movies that are stable, not all jerky that give you motion sickness! It also is very good in low light conditions. The 12x zoom is a bonus that is very addicting. I take a lot of flower pics & this camera will produce excellent closeups. IS really works! I find no negatives with this camera it fits our family...
