Canon Powers The Canon PowerShot ELPH
The Canon PowerShot ELPH 115 is a low cost, no-frills, budget point and
shoot camera, with a rather long range lens. The camera originally sold
for between $129-$169 dollars, and got mediocre reviews. Recently the
price dropped to $79.95, which makes it a real bargain. Canon has cut
some corners with the ELPH 115 though. You don't get a USB cable. The
screen is only 2.7", and has a modest 230K resolution. The settings are
pretty limited, but you get some different shooting modes. Auto mode
works well under most conditions. Picture quality outdoors is pretty
good for a tiny sensor camera. Picture quality indoors is not so good.
The flash is weak, and anything above ISO 200 produces noisy results.
The 720p video is good. Refresh time between shots is a little slow.
Battery life is average. I got about 150 shots before I needed to
recharge. By far the best part of the Canon PowerShot ELPH 115 is the
wide angle 8X zoom lens. A few years ago, a lens with this range wasn't
available in a tiny point and shoot camera at any cost. The Canon
PowerShot ELPH 115 is far from a perfect camera, but as one of the
cheapest point and shoot cameras out there. It's very good for the
price. For $20 more though, you can get the Canon PowerShot ELPH 130.
It's the same camera, but adds a better screen and WiFi. I give Canon
PowerShot ELPH 115 "4 Stars" for having a big lens and small price tag.
