12x Optical Zoom with Optical Image Stabilizer helps you capture images with flexibility and ease

12x Optical Zoom The PowerShot ELPH 360 HS camera features a 12x Optical Zoom so spectacular shots are within your reach. You’ll love the flexibility it gives you when shooting with an amazing range of 25–300mm (35mm equivalent) in a slim, compact camera. Plus, the wide-angle lens captures an expansive image in each shot, adding depth, perspective and grandeur. Landscapes, city scenes, family shots and more all benefit from the extra width. Whether you’re shooting wide group shots or zooming to the telephoto end, your images can be bright and clear.

Intelligent IS It’s easy to capture clear, steady images with select PowerShot cameras, even in low light without using a tripod. That’s because these cameras are equipped with Canon’s innovative Intelligent IS. The system automatically analyzes camera movement and applies the ideal shake correction method for the shooting situation – allowing you to focus on framing and capturing your shot. For stills, the system selects from Normal IS, Panning IS, Macro (Hybrid) IS and Tripod modes. When shooting video, the system selects from Dynamic IS, Powered IS, Macro (Hybrid) IS and Active Tripod IS modes. Icons clearly mark the image stabilization mode, whether you’re shooting still images or video.

Still Image Shooting Normal IS Corrects for a wide range of camera movement when shooting stills. Panning IS Panning motion is detected so that IS does not interfere with desired camera movement. Macro (Hybrid) IS Corrects for shift-type camera shake, which typically occurs in macro (close-up) shooting. Tripod When tripod use is detected, the Image Stabilizer is stopped because it is not needed. Video Recording Dynamic IS Effective for video shooting at wide-angle focal lengths, eliminating the unwanted shaking that typically occurs while walking. Powered IS Compensates for hand movement when shooting video at the telephoto end of the zoom range, where camera shake is magnified. Macro (Hybrid) IS Corrects for motion blur that is likely to occur when shooting video while walking. Also compensates for the shift-type camera shake common in macro shooting. Active Tripod IS When shooting video while using a tripod, the Image Stabilizer is active to compensate for slight camera shake.

DIGIC 4+ Image Processor The Canon DIGIC 4+ Image Processor powers the PowerShot ELPH 360 HS camera’s functions and capabilities, including Hybrid Auto, Creative Shot and Full HD video shooting. Its processing speed creates fast, responsive performance for a shooting experience that’s easy and natural. The DIGIC 4+ Image Processor also enhances image quality in several ways. Processing of high ISO shots has been shortened by up to 60% compared to the DIGIC 4 Image Processor. This helps significantly reduce noise for brilliant color, smooth gradations and beautiful detail even in low light. The processor also allows for the integration of electronic Dynamic IS. This advanced system can compensate for multiple motion types, effectively preventing angular blur, shift blur and blur caused by parallel movement and tilt shift. The results are clear and sharp.

Canon HS SYSTEM Helps Provide Excellent Low-light Performance The slim, compact PowerShot ELPH 360 HS camera gives you the power to capture beautifully detailed, naturally lit images even in low light – helping to reduce the need for flash and the occasionally unwelcome effects it produces. That’s because the camera’s 20.2 Megapixel* High-Sensitivity CMOS sensor works with the DIGIC 4+ Image Processor to create the Canon HS SYSTEM, specifically engineered for spectacular low-light performance. With the Canon HS SYSTEM, you’ll experience excellent tracking performance even in low light, and achieve gorgeous still image quality at ISO speeds up to ISO 3200; beautiful low-light shots are possible with minimal noise and maximum detail in highlight and shadow areas.

Large 3.0-inch LCD enables easy viewing even from a wide angle The large, 3.0-inch high-resolution LCD screen makes it easy to both frame and review your shots. A resolution of approximately 461,000 dots helps makes small details clear, and images are viewable even from a wide angle so showing others what you’ve captured is easy, too.

Hybrid Auto lets you record up to four seconds of video before each image you capture, then automatically combines each clip and still into a quick video recap of the day The PowerShot ELPH 360 HS camera features Hybrid Auto, which records up to four seconds of video every time you shoot a still image, then automatically joins the clips and pictures* into a video that captures the essence of special days: vacations, important occasions or any time you’re shooting many shots in a day.

The resulting 1080p Full HD video is properly exposed, crisp and steady.

Pictures can be withheld from the resulting video via menu settings.

Creative Shot mode uses composition, color and lighting from your original image to create unique images with an artistic flair Not only is the PowerShot ELPH 360 HS camera a stylish powerhouse, the camera also enables you to easily create artistic images with Creative Shot mode.

Product Reviews

STILL the best bang for the buck in compact point and shoots !!!

From a day one aspect, it does what it is supposed to do. This is my 3rd Canon ELPH, previous models being the 110 HS and 330 HS.No discernable difference in picture quality when compared to my 330.Zoom has greatly improved, and has a bit better image stabilization vs the 330. MP4 has replaced the aged MOV format for videos.I am NOT a camera techie, and don’t use half the features on this camera, but know a good picture when I see one, and one of the main things that impress me with the ELPH line is how great pictures and videos look when displayed on a large screen TV. That’s the test for me… I’ve purchased other models that failed, and were returned.It’s true that today, many cellphones take WONDERFULL pictures and vids, but you are NOT going find the kind of zoom that point and shoots have. When on vacation, I’d have to say 50% of my pictures involve the use of the zoom lens. Actual cameras are still relevant in today’s cellphone centric world (at least for the time being).The REAL reason I upgraded this go around (my 330 is in excellent working condition) was that Canon FINALLY made MP4 the format for the 360’s videos. Although previous versions took wonderful HD videos, you have no idea how frustrating it is to transfer a video to your phone, and having to convert it from MOV format first! Converting formats always involves a loss of quality, and I never understood why an Apple format had to be standard on a non-Apple device. MOV is an age old format and MP4 beats it hands down, and is playable on almost any PC or Android device.Nit-picking… this model has a flimsier battery/card door, and using the Wi-Fi feature I had to use “manual” steps to do so, as the “auto” feature would recognize the device, but not connect…. not a big thing, but would be nice if it would connect to devices as easily as cellphones do these days.Over all, I’m quite happy with the camera, and feel the ELPH series offer the best pictures and smallest size in the compact point and shoot category. If it didn’t….I wouldn’t be on my third model of the line. My first ELPH (110HS) is still working wonderfully 5 yrs later, the only reason I upgrade is for the improved features . I can’t recommend this camera highly enough…it’s GREAT.A piece of good advice is when buying a case…look for a hard/semi hard “clamshell” type case. My ELPHs look and act pristine after years of use, because they are well protected when being carried or not in use. Pouch style cases won’t protect your camera from bumps or accidental drops, which I have encountered many times, and have had no ill effects due to the clam shell cases superior protection.Update 4-24-16Just got back from a Vegas trip, where this camera was use extensively. I had nose bleed seats at the T-Mobile Arena Guns n Roses concert. My 1080p cellphone camera could not capture stage action, as the low light filter does not work in zoom mode (all it could capture at full zoom was a blurry mess). Was able to get video with my HS 360 in zoom mode clear enough to actually capture facial expressions….GREAT video, from some of the worst seats in a 40,000 seat arena. How can you beat that from an ultra compact point and shoot? When filming in full HD, I was getting about 45 mins a battery (I took 2 extra). Low light ability is A LOT better than my Note 4’s camera. In DAYLIGHT….my cellphone takes excellent pictures and video….at NIGHT….not so much. Glad I had this camera with me.If you are taking pictures, expect to get 300+ to a battery charge….video, around 45-60 mins. Extra batteries are cheap and quite fast to change out when filming extensively….well worth the money.

Impressive Long-Distance Camera - If you don’t want to see what you are shooting in the sunlight

So I have only used this camera a bit but thought I would put up a first impression post now, and I will update it in a month or so. I am not a professional photographer but my main camera is a Cannon EOS Rebel T3 Canon EOS Rebel T3 Digital SLR Camera with EF-S 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 IS Lens (discontinued by manufacturer). I also have not fully read the instruction booklet yet either.Pros:————–1) Small & Light Weight: One of my co-workers tossed the box holding the camera to me and didn’t think there was a camera inside of it.2) Great Distance view: I will get a series of photographs I took during my lunch break from our back door. We are 0.7 miles from the cranes in the picture. I was able to get a good enough distance picture to read the manufacturers. I am not sure if I can do that on my Rebel T3 with just the normal lens.3) Filter Settings: I have not gone through all the settings yet. However, there is a setting where the camera will take 3+ pictures and change the filter automatically. I just took a picture of the texture on the ceiling to test this and it was pretty neat.Cons:——————1) The first thing I noticed while taking pictures outside is that it is hard to see what you are shooting in the display screen. I tried taking pictures in the shade and direct sun and in both instances I really had to struggle to see.2) Close up images: I tried using this vs the camera in my Samsung Galaxy S4 phone to take pictures of my Beta Fish tank at work. I found that out of 8 attempted shots only 2 came out non-blurry while using the cannon. I have purchased the same SD card that I would use for my Rebel T3 so that should not cause the delay .Overall so far I am happy. I am marking it at 4 for now but mattering how things change once I read the directions it might be lowered. If I am spending $200 on a camera I want it to work outside. I wanted this camera to ride in my purse on the go since I don’t always want to carry the bulky DSLR. SanDisk Extreme PRO 32GB UHS-I/U3 SDHC Flash Memory Card with up to 95MB/s- SDSDXPA-032G-AFFP

Love the Wifi transfer function

Great camera. The Wifi function is now easier to use than in previous models. The functions are as expected for a point and shoot.

worse than my iphone

Pictures were awful quality, worse than my iphone. The menu options were very limited. The flash can only be set to auto or off. For work I need to set to always on.

One Star

Old Cannon zoom was better. Pictures not as clear. Very disappointed.

I am an Actual Purchaser & Very Happy

I am a recent purchaser of this item, just not from amazon this time. However I buy lots of things from amazon and utilize its reviews often.I love this camera.

Great “point and shoot”

Easy to take along on family outings and takes a clear, quality picture seconds after it leaves my bag. I love the setting that takes a short video before your snapshot.

Five Stars

Very good

Five Stars

I have an earlier model that I really like, and I gave this as a gift.

Very nice camera.

Excellent camera that is very easy to use. Setting up the Wi-Fi was a bit confusing, but a quick visit to YouTube and I had it working pretty quickly.
