## Description

Canon 5698B001 12.1 Megapixel Powershot Elph 310 Hs Kit (Pink)

Review: Great Tiny Camera! - - Simple to operate, small, excellent results, modest price. The worst part of the ELPH 310HS ( or IXUS 230HS ) is the name. In the USA Canon sells an entirely different camera called the SX 230HS. Ordering the camera or batteries becomes a test of your ability to clarify Canon's terrible nomenclature. There are reviews of this camera that incorrectly refer to it as the ELPH 230HS! Buy a couple of extra batteries from desertcart (NB-4L) for $10 each (get the 1200 mamp type.) Don't get the NB-5L type battery for the 230HS. The $6 Case Logic TBC-302 case nicely holds two extra batteries and the camera. In the "Auto" mode you get good movies and excellent stills. The really nice part is that you get these results without having to bother with camera settings. Switching to the "P" mode gives you more options and settings to play with but, if you just want excellent results leave it in auto. When taking a pic, push the exposure button ½ way down to focus. When the focus area turns green push the button the rest of the way. Focusing generally takes less than ½ a second. If you just push the button all the down you'll often get an out of focus pic. Forgetting to focus may explain why some reviewers are dissatisfied with the cameras output. There are both pro and con arguments for this focusing method. You just need to be aware of how to operate the 310. 11x14 borderless prints exhibit excellent quality when shot in good light. Quality does decrease in darker situations but is still acceptable. All small sensor cameras exhibit that behavior. Facial recognition works most of the time. Pricing is a little strange. At the time of this writing, depending upon color, the price varies from $196 to $230 for the same camera from the same vendor. Why does a blue copy cost 15% more than a purple copy? Probably done by the same genius that named the camera! The ELPH 310HS is an excellent travel camera. I've ordered a second one for my wife.
Review: This a winner!!! - I am a camera junkie and this is the 12th digital camera I've owned. I have a DSLR, but like to keep a small camera on me since my phone doesn't take the greatest pictures. I had to replace my PowerShot SD1300 (piece of crap!) because the pictures were so terrible. A friend of mine had the Elph 310 on a recent trip and I was blown away at the quality of pictures & videos, so I bought it also. I've had over a month to test it out so here is what I think: This is the 3rd best camera I've owned (DSLR & G Series are #1 & #2) I love the size of it! I love how many options it has and different modes. My absolute favorite feature is the low light setting! The shutter speed is faster than my DSLR. Granted, the pictures are only 3mp on that setting, but they all come out gorgeous. Really beyond my expectations. I've also had a chance to play around with the different night settings and the quality is amazing. Everything is in focus, crisp & clear. The zoom is great.. alittle grainy, but that is to be expected. Regular auto setting pictures come out beautiful & bright, never blurry. Video quality is the best I have seen so far on any digital camera.. Battery life is not the greatest, especially when you take pictures and videos in one shoot. I've found I can easily drain the battery in a day or 2 which can be frustrating. The high burst setting which allows you to take a ton of pictures with one click of the shutter is not the greatest. I've tried it on different subjects and they all come out alittle blurry.. All in all, I highly recommend this camera! I'm very impressed and would buy it again.
