Review on Cannon PowerShot ELPH 130 IS Digital Camera - 16.0 MP, 8x Optical Zoom, 28mm Wide-Angle Lens, 720p HD Video (Red) - Discontinued Model by David Sharma

I love this man! As an avid traveler, I don't want to lug around a DSLR and all of its accessories. So I went through many digital cameras, dropped them, smashed them in my luggage, spilled things on them: they are too fragile and the pictures weren't that good. This ELPH has replaced an expensive pocket size with bells and whistles including a touch screen. I kept touching the wrong settings and just picking them up. ELPH was great. it is as pocket sized as it is expensive. no touch screen (a big plus for me). The controls are simple and logical. uses an easily accessible SD or SDH memory card. captures 2-3 inch images. So far everything has been clear and concise: I photographed a rack with a couple of electronics boxes. Read part number and serial number. NO complaints so far and I'm a world class whiner.
