Canon PowerShot 320 HS Review Discussion

[Laura Hicks]

Revenge is mine! At least that's what the Canon PowerShot Elph 320 HS believes when placed up against the increasingly popular smartphone cameras. Armed with Wi-Fi capabilities and a 5x zoom lens (24mm-120mm), Canon intends to show us that your current smartphone camera is no match for this handy little touchscreen point and shoot. With a street price of $199 it just might have what it takes to compete.

I've always been impressed by Canon's small cameras. I like their image and video quality, the various effects modes (toy camera, fisheye, etc) and the my colors options. I especially like it that the newer models have improved image quality in low light so that decent 800 ISO shots are possible and even 1600 ISO shots don't look too bad. The Elph 320 also appears to be a quick little device, which is not always the case with Canon's small cameras.

It's a good option if you are in the market for a point and shoot. The camera has a great auto mode that does all of the thinking for you. It did a great job with back lit subjects. It tested good out in the field. It also has some fun effects, but by far the best feature on this camera is it's macro functionality. It is one of the best point and shoots if macro photography is your thing - especially for this price. However, the touchscreen sensitivity and responsiveness had a tendency to annoy me. The Elph 320 is not alone with this problem. A lot of cameras in this price range have this issue.
