## Description

Canon 5701B001 12.1 Megapixel Powershot Elph 310 Hs Kit (Purple)

Review: Finally! - I had an old canon camera (PowerShot A520 for historians) for 8 years, and it was finally time for a new one. I spent way too long agonizing over which camera to get, but I knew I wanted a Canon without a touchscreen. I hemmed and hawwed over the ELPH 310 vs ELPH 300 and finally choose this one because it can zoom in more, and it was a newer model. desertcart had a great deal on it, so I got quite a chunk of the list price, which was great! I choose purple because it was the most on sale with the pink and yellow color. I wanted the blue, but it was full price. I also bought rooCASE Neoprene Sleeve (Lilac) Carrying Case for Canon ELPH 310 HS Digital Camera which looks very nice with it! Anyway, on to the review! PROS: Takes quality pictures. Really. Some are even comparable to my DSLR camera. I'm not kidding, I was impressed! Color of the camera looks great. It's a matte plastic, that won't show finger marks from holding it. Takes fast pictures You can easily change from auto to manual settings. I love the manual settings, I love to play around with vivid color and toy camera effect and so forth. Super easy, user friendly, everyone can figure out my camera quickly. CONS: The fish eye setting is weak. It doesn't look at all like a real fish eye lens would make an image. However, its not exactly a deal breaker, I don't need Fish Eye anyway. My friends called my camera "heavy" and "bigger than expected." I am used to holding a brick camera that took AA batteries, so this thing is tiny to me. I also don't care if its heavy, because its actually lighter and smaller than my cell phone. It fits easily in my pocket with the sleeve case. I wish it had some grips on it, right where the Canon logo is on the front. It feels like I could easily drop it. Really with these petty excuse for cons, I love my new camera, and I can't believe I waited 8 years to get a new one. If you are on the fence about buying this, wait till it goes on sale (the prices changes daily) to a price you can live with, and get it! It is a great camera.
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.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: how do I zoom in on a photo that you have already taken**
A: after you have taken the picture - hit the button on the right hand side of the viewfinder (blue arrow on button).  Your picture will appear and then just use the zoom button on the top of the camera and voila you can zoom in to the picture you have already taken.  good luck.

**Q: Does the battery charge while plugged into a computer via the USB cable?**
A: No . The battery has to charge in charger.

**Q: how do you download the pictures**
A: There are at least two ways. I have used only one way-I take the picture card out of the camera and insert it into a slot in my computer (an iMac). When I do that, iPhoto opens and asks if I want to import all images or selected images, and whether I want to keep the images on the camera after importing them. The second way involves software that comes with the camera. You must install it on your computer. The owner's manual explains how to install and use the software.

**Q: How is the battery life?**
A: We have two of the cameras and both work great and the batteries seem to hold a charge very well.

### ⭐⭐⭐ Not quite sure about this camera yet...
*by M***Z on October 20, 2011*

First, let me say this camera does take some great pictures and it is very easy to use. My complaint comes in by how plastic it feels. It just doesn't feel solid like all the other Canon cameras we have purchased in the past. I love my husband's Canon Powershot 300HS, but I wanted a bit higher zoom. So, I purchased this one. I also purchased the Powershot 510 as well to see which one I would like better. I must say, I am swaying towards returning both of them. This camera feels flimsy compared to the other Canon Powershot cameras. I prefer the non-touch screen of this one vs. the Powershot 510, but overall, the 510 just feels a lot more solid for only around $75 more. The touchscreen on the 510 drains the battery too fast, but this one just doesn't seem to be that durable. As for the zoom comparisons, on the 510 it zooms to 12x, but it is extremely difficult to keep it steady. On this one, the 8x seems about right. So, I am not quite sure which one to keep. I love the new settings for vivid, foliage, miniature, fireworks, fisheye, etc. If it weren't for all these new settings and a higher power zoom, I wouldn't even consider trading up from the 300HS for this one. So, I am torn as to what to do. UPDATE 10/30/2011 - So, I decided to keep this one instead of the 510. It still feels kind of plastic to me compared to older models we have. However, I have been thoroughly impressed with the video, picture and color quality. The battery longevity helped to make this decision as well.
