or just an accident with bad cards (both bought new and only used in.

I bought this camera mainly because it fits in my shirt pockets - it's the 3rd camera in this overall range from the Gun I own and it works well enough for my needs the only issue I've had is fairly slow autofocus and issues with it locking in less full/bright daylight I've been using it for about a month and a half and enjoyed it I haven't noticed any downsides with the camera but I've had 2 memory card failures while using the camera I've had failures before but never 2 in a month - not sure…

Pros
  • A few competitors
Cons
  • Will do

Nice little camera but not as good as Nikon CoolPix

I had a Nikon Cool Pix and swapped it out for a Canon ELPH170. With Canon I don't have to select a setting and it's a lot easier to toggle a big plan for the route and back. However, the videos get grainy and not as good as my old Nikon. The case feels cheap and grainy (Nikon had a nice silky, rubberized feel). I definitely don't like the Canon's flash placement as I keep accidentally covering it with my finger when holding it naturally while shooting. The Canon price was good and the quality…

Pros
  • Wide range
Cons
  • too dumb

Amazing little giant

This little camera is really amazing! We recently went on a trip for two in Europe. I was looking for a small camera that could take good quality pictures and was more convenient than carrying around a DSLR. Damn, I found it! The picture quality is excellent. Color rendering couldn't be better. The camera's ability to handle difficult lighting conditions is phenomenal. It focuses quickly in every light situation I've used it in, including low light. Because of their small size and versatility…

Pros
  • Satisfied so far
Cons
  • I have no negative feelings about it, everything is fine

Good little camera but not as good as Nikon CoolPix

I had a Nikon Cool Pix and switched it to a Canon ELPH170. With Canon I don't have to choose a setting and it's much easier to switch from near to far and back. However, the videos get grainy and not as good as my old Nikon. The case feels cheap and grainy (Nikon had a nice silky, rubberized feel). I definitely don't like the Canon's flash placement as I keep accidentally covering it with my finger when holding it naturally while shooting. The Canon price was good and the quality of the photos…

Pros
  • Consistent test results
Cons
  • Some difficulties
