Canon PowerShot ELPH 180 20MP 8X Zoom Digital Camera (Red) + 16GB Card + Reader + Case + Accessory Bundle

Comment

The camera and the accessories arrived as expected, and after charging the battery (must be taken out of the camera and placed in the charger) I tried to take some pictures in different light situations and different distances. The quality of the pictures are acceptable but not outstanding. I had expected more sharpness from a 20 MP camera, and less noise in the low light pictures. However, this is a low price camera, and is great for snap shots. The small size makes it easy to carry around, and the 32GB memory card can hold several thousand pictures. The memory card must be taken out of the camera and placed in either the USB cradle that is part of the deal or a designated port on your computer. I give the product 4 stars only because of the picture quality and the lack of charging and transfer possibility without opening the camera to remove battery and/or memory card.

We went on a trip out of the country and left our 35 mm with telephoto lens sitting on the counter. Ugh. My immediate thought was to have a camera shipped by Amazon to our first stop. That worked perfectly, but considering what I was willing to spend I had to consider our options carefully. My main objective was to free us from the necessity to use our phones as cameras because I was looking for better battery life, more zoom capability, and ease of download to my laptop. Although this is a very tiny camera, it met those objectives. In fact, the ease of download greatly exceeded expectations with the flash drive transfer process. The camera has everything included, is easy to use, and produces reasonably good photos. I will leave the technical discussion of photo quality to the more avid photographers, but we are pleased. This will be a camera that accompanies us easily when we dont want to drag along the higher end photo gear.

Received camera faster than expected. After receiving, we charged the battery, loaded the included 32 Gig memory card, and took her out for a spin. This camera takes amazing pictures in lo light conditions which has always been hard for our iPhones to do. Its an extremely small size, but packs a big punch. The screen does not give the full sharpness of all 20 mp. Once the pics are uploaded onto a computer, you can truely see the depth that 20 mp brings.

Well, it worked for a few moments at least. After turning it on initially, it displayed the captured camera view (as youd expect) for about 10 seconds. Then, the screen turned pink, and then became a bunch of a black / white / pink scrolling horizontal bars (see attached image). Changing the settings affected the color / zoom of the scrolling bars, but would not restore the camera view. Im guessing the capture device was poorly connected to the display or something like that, and promptly got disconnected. Anyway, I was pretty disappointed with this camera, especially given the price.

Just picked it up yesterday and so far it looks great. It was delivered within the specified timing. Im going on vacation and Im tired of relying on my phone for pictures and video. I also needed something small and easy to carry. My sisters a photographer and recommended this one. I think it is a great bundle, it has everything you need. We tested it yesterday and pictures look great!

Needed an affordable camera for taking progress pics and finish product pics for work. I hate using my iPhone to do this as it typically gets abused by dust and other construction elements (weather, adhesives, etc). This camera is literally perfect for point and click. At first, I didnt think it would be that great as its tiny and the screen is also small. Once I took a bunch of pics and transferred them on my computer, I was very happy with the quality of the pictures. This is great for point and click applications. If you are looking to get into photography, this obviously isnt the way to go as it lacks the features my Nikon DSLR has. But it does have ease of transportation and use, which is all I need.This is an all inclusive purchase that made my job a lot simpler and I am very happy with the quality of the product.

I have another Canon, the PowerShot A630 that I really like. Its was bigger to just put in my pocket so I wanted to go smaller. Im very happy with ELPH 180, a newer ELPH 170. Ive used it to take stills as well as video and quite impressed with both. The pictures are very clean and clear. Im also impressed with the battery life even when using the video. I know Ill be very happy with this, not only because its a Canon but also because its small. Id definitely recommend this to others.

I have had many digital point and shoot cameras over the past 15 years, many have come and gone, some good, some were positively a bad choice. However this camera is one of the best I have used in all my experience. Easy to use, very intuitive, you really dont need the instructions. All included accessories (battery, charger, strap, case, etc) make it easy to start taking photos pronto. Note that youll have to get a memory card though, but that is easy. The extensive menu choices are easy to maneuver and are aplenty. LCD screen is large and clear, buttons are placed judiciously so taking photos is a snap. In the end there is no downside as far as Im concerned, this is a great camera. Thank you Canon and thank you TheImagingWorld for such a great product.

Bought this as an upgrade to an older Canon we have. Works well just like the hold one. My only complaint is a takes a long time inbetween photos to be able to take another. So when holding a pose it takes forever to take multiple pics.
