Canon - PowerShot ELPH 190 20.0-Megapixel Digital Camera - Red

I have used this camera multiple times since purchase and it takes great photos for a point and shoot camera. My only complaint is the charging system, which requires you to take the battery out and plug it into the proprietary battery charging system. I had thought that you could use the usb data cable and plug it in to charge, but that will not work. This requires you to bring that additional accessory along with you or have multiple batteries, which usually isn't too big of a deal. Aside from that one issue, this item is definitely a good purchase. There are relatively few point and shoot cameras in this price range that also boast the 20 megapixel resolution that this does. -- This review allows only for photos to be uploaded with 5 mb or less of image size and the majority of the images that I have shot with this range between 7 mb and 12 mb, so I found 2 photos that were under this file size that were shot with the camera. They are definitely not the best ones that were shot, but may help. These were literally the only 2 I had that were under or equal to 5 mb.

I have used this camera a couple times, around 340 pictures. It is doing pretty good, it has very good zoom, taking beautiful pictures even in moving targets, like a people, animals, even running car wheels. It is pretty awesome and easy to carry it. Battery life is good enough, I have charged twice for the 340 plus the erased ones. I just would like to have some more options for editing pics. Wifi works good as well, it was the main reason because we bougth the cam. For the price it is completely awesome small 20 pixels camera.

I bought this to supplement my Nikon Coolpix 520, as I wanted something "pocketable." While it takes excellent photos, it does take noticeably longer to take a photo once the button is tripped. I suspect that is the image stabilization working, but not completely sure. Appreciate the built-in wifi feature...it's relatively simple to use, and I was able to capture some nice snaps of a hummingbird feeding using it. Overall, it's a good deal for the money.

I was in the field doing work away from home when my old camera had a problem. Searched on-line and found the Canon. In the store looked at several others and with input with the salesman, decided on this model. I don't regret it. It worked great and the pictures were all I expected.

I use it for copying genealogical records for my family history. It is mounted on a board that is clamped on a microfilm viewer, the wide-angle lens is perfect to view the total image. A Sony app is available to remotely control the camera shutter, and images are automatically saved on a cellphone, tablet or PC. Unfortunately I have not been able to use the wi-fi camera app provided by Sony, the software is difficult to get working on a Samsung tablet. One problem is precisely zooming the lens with the tiny lever provided. I may have to provide a much larger control knob.

I love my new camera. It takes great pictures and is very easy to use. It fits in my pocket and can go anywhere I'm going.

This camera is a good basic camera. Takes a good picture, even in low light. The shutter lag is a little annoying. I have several premium DSLR cameras that record the frame the instant the shutter button is depressed. This camera has some lag, resulting in missed action shots. But it is compact and lightweight and easy to travel with, which is why I bought it. And, the price was great. Battery life is limited - you will need a second battery if you are going to take many pictures (50 or more) on one charge. Setting up the software for external communication is NOT USER FRIENDLY. I ended up going to Google for further explanations. In the end I can use my cellphone as a control device. Great, but so what? Finally, photo/video transfer by removing the chip and inserting into a computer is the ONLY way to transfer data. Any other means is just too slow!

This was the perfect camera for my 12 year old grandson who loves to upload videos and content on the internet. Photos and videos are of great qualtity. Affordable with many of the bells in whistles. Perfect size also. Canon stands by their product.
