Should You Buy the Cheapest 1080p Camera? | Canon PowerShot ELPH 100 HS Review

I found this camera in my basement - but that doesn't mean it's useless! The Canon PowerShot ELPH 100 HS is probably one of the cheapest cameras currently on the market. However, it has some redeeming qualities that might give it a place in your camera bag. Take a look at the review and see what you think.

Hey Elias! Your video came into my home page. Just wanted to say great video, and that I still have this camera, bought it in 2012 I think. It still works, with some misfunctions because some times it won't turn off as the lens gets stuck and then an error message appears. Also, at some zoom level a dust spot appears in my pictures. Last trip I used it was to New Zealand in 2019. This year I bought a Canon G7X M3, to get a handy not so big lens camera, but a point and shoot as well (but much better photos for this one has a bigger sensor and better functions), the zoom is pretty much the same, 4X.

I am a bit surprised they still command 40~50 dollars. I bought mine back in 2011 or 2012 and I still use it. My battery still holds a great charge. Still kinda fun to use.

Awesome video....saw this in a thrift store and thought about it buying it😊

I have a Canon ELPH 190 is. Love using a camera rather then a smart phone. In my opinion I think my pictures are way superior then those taken on the smart phone that everybody else uses. The other reason I do not use a phone to take a pictures is they have touch screens, and I find touch screens a big pain because I only have the use of one hand. My Canon ELPH 190 is does not have a touch screen and it has image stabilization so I am able to capture beautiful images,

Great video. I have that camera in 2022. Good for safe photos and video recordings in countries where you don't want to lose your phone. :)

I bought a ELPH 300 many years ago and barely used it, maybe a handful of times. Just brought it out today and charging the battery. Going to use it and see how it looks.

Brilliant video man, thank you.

Jan 2024 on ebay they are going upwards to $250. These would have been a good investment a couple years ago.

I have 3 of them one with chdk. Love them

These tiny point and shoot cameras for a bit of casual street photography when you don't want to pull out your rig or attract much attention. The idea is to be in the moment and capture it. Yes a phone will do that but they are still not a camera. Add a Wi-Fi SD card and you can edit as well as post to social media rather quickly with a raw, more film look.

Ironically in 2024 people are ditching their smartphones for these cameras which are only growing in value. And more power to that I think this turnaround is fantastic.

I still have this camera.I bought this camera for my wife,many years ago because she wanted a simple,easy ,portable point and shoot camera!

[@l3onoxid396]

The good thing about this camera is how good the videos look in 1080p at 25 fps, the bad thing is the zoom lock and no AF during recording.

[@Shadow_Jay]

i bought one today for $6! came with the box and battery but no charger though

[@nealweeks6632]

The Cannon ELPH 300 HS is very cool and a better camera I do believe and a better build quality.

Hello young one.

[@godancs2]

How photo looks?

[@johnjohnson-pf4kw]

Today in 2022 price of this canon camera on eBay's is from 60$ to 100$, very good camera.

[@thevintagephotog9718]

This didn't age well. Good luck finding a good condition on in 2023 for under $100. The rise of the digicams.

An error in the video: you cannot charge the camera via USB.
