Muy buen producto

Jake provided excellent service throughout the buying process. Before processing my order, he contacted me to make sure I understood that this was a pre-owned product that had been tested and was in good working order. The batter did not work correctly when it arrived in the mail, and he helped me troubleshoot the problem until we determined that I needed a new battery. He gave me a refund for the battery he sent and provided information about the the battery that I needed to purchase. I was very please with his professionalism and attentiveness and would do business with him again.

This is my third Canon Powershot Elph, so obviously, I'm a fan of this model. Between my 1st & 2nd (3 years), i saw a HUGE improvement in sharpness (MP)& zoom, also it was SO intuitive (in particular automatically "brightening" a dim shot (when i didn't want to use flash) & for close-up/macro shots) that I was able to rely on auto setting for all my picture taking needs. When i lost the 2nd camera on vacation, I tried to see the glass as half full & anticipated a even SMARTER, more intuitive camera. This was listed as the newest model of the one I had lost (with better MP & zoom), but unfortunately, I have found that it's actually LESS intuitive - the auto focus gets confused easily (I would say 15-20% of simple/still pictures come out blurry) & the flash doesn't go off about 20% of the time I think it should, sure these percentages are relatively low but it makes me worry about missed photo opportunities in fleeting moments. Also, I was annoyed to find that this camera doesn't come with a transfer cord (to plug into usb)or a memory card. Granted, the measly memory card that came with the previous models were useless but as another reviewer mentioned - then this should be mentioned in the item description. The item description also doesn't mention transferring photos at all (I haven't read the manual (the camera comes with a quick guide, but if you want the full manual, you have to go online) & maybe this is one of those wifi cameras where you can transfer photos to your smart phone or tablet wirelessly - but this shouldn't eliminate the option of doing it manually). Luckily, the camera does have the same "port" as the previous model so i was able to use my old transfer cords but there is NO REASON why that shouldn't be included with the camera. On the upside, this camera is smaller, lighter-weight & more streamline, but for my money - i'd rather it be the same size as before & function better.

Personally, I purchased this point & shoot camera mainly because it uses the same memory card as my DSLR (Canon T3i, or 600D, depending on what country you're from). I wanted a new "work" point & shoot (aka P&S) camera that I could easily get the pictures off of it without the hassle of carrying around some special cable for. At around $80, this really fit the bill.I have yet to take this P&S camera on a project with me, although I have several international projects coming up soon this summer put it to a real test, the meager testing I have done with it so far, this camera is exceeding my expectations. It takes great pictures in very low light conditions! I'm actually surprised how good the pics come out. Of course, it doesn't compare to my T3i with the right lens on it, but for a P&S camera that costs under $100, I am honestly surprised. My DSLR setup is peaking around $4000, which is my "goto" camera for my international amateur photography travel pictures. Having said that, I really want to know how well it does when there is a bright source of light in one small area and the rest of the scene is actually very dark. I won't know until my next project. Just try to take pictures of cutting steel via a flame cutting torch with anything other than an expensive DSLR, it's really not so easy. And everyone in my industry carries around thousands of dollars of photography equipment around just waiting to get damaged by the actual process. Yeah, not going to happen. If a camera that costs less than $100 can get the job done, then if it gets damaged... well... no big deal.Anyway. My previous "work" P&S camera was a Sony, and had a memory card that could not be inserted into most laptops. Especially any newer ones. I always had to carry around a special cable just to get the pics off the thing. This was a real pain in the arse. And when you travel internationally as much I do, the less junk you can carry the better you can pack for the trip.There is a chance I might be reimbursed by my company for this purchase, but even if my company decides not to reimburse the $80 I'm out of pocket for this P&S camera, it will not break the bank (plus an additional $12 for a 16G SD card).This P&S camera fits my needs so far. A memory card that will work in my DSLR, as well as this P&S. Also can be inserted into almost any laptop. When I have the opportunity to take it on an actual job, I will add to my opinion of this camera.

I bought this camera 2 years ago and it has never let me down. In high light, low light, up close, or far away, this camera is has given me great shots every time. I recently took this camera up with me on my 1st ride in a small airplane and all the pictures I took turned out clear and bright. The camera comes with many different settings and I have used almost all of them so far. The "vivid" setting really brings all my hiking pictures of the mountains and rivers to life. There is a timer that you can set to take pictures in 2 second bursts, 10 second bursts, or a custom amount of time. I use this a lot when leading hikes to get group photos of everyone in the group. This camera is much sturdier than I would have imagined. I have dropped this camera countless times and it is still working as well as it did the 1st day I got it. This camera is perfect for intermediate photography. It gives you the freedom to capture beautiful photos without having to carry bulky equipment. This camera easily fits in you pocket and comes with a convenient carrying case. It also comes with a wrist strap for added convenience. I ordered the blue model and love the bright color. I have taken hundrends of pictures with this camera and trust it for all my important events. This is definitely a camera that I would buy again and would recomment to anyone needing a small camera that will take a great, clear picture.
