DESCRIPTION:
=C2=A0=C2=A0=C2=A0 If I remember from my smoking youth, this camera is abou=
t the size of a pack of cigarettes, though much heavier. It has a telescopi=
ng lens, a flash and a zoom. There are multiple controls on the right side =
of the camera to make it do things that are not readily apparent. The power=
button is on top, about the size of a match head and located just left of =
the picture-taking button, which is much larger and somewhat raised. It is =
also surrounded by the zoom actuator, rotated slightly one way or the other=
. And to the left of that is a slide button for switching between movie and=
still modes. The camera has a very large LCD for the body size, though it =
has no other means to see what is to be photographed. The battery fits into=
a compartment next to the SD card on the bottom edge; and to the right of =
that is a tapped hole for attachment to a tripod. Nearly hidden in a differ=
ent covered compartment next to the wrist-strap anchor are two output ports=
, a mini-USB and a single-pin. The overall package is quite tidy.
FIELD CONDITIONS:
=C2=A0=C2=A0=C2=A0 I've taken this camera on hundreds of days of backpackin=
g, which is the only time I use a camera. On Mt. Shasta my first time I did=
n't keep the camera inside my jacket and it got too cold to work. After an =
hour or so in an inside pocket it fired up again. I've never gotten it very=
wet and have always tried to keep it shielded from rain. I don't like grit=
, so I haven't been to places like Death Valley, though I have taken it to =
the beach at Pt. Reyes.
=C2=A0=C2=A0=C2=A0 I've taken probably 40,000 pictures. Hard to know, becau=
se I take zillions and delete what I don't like. But I've got 25,000 pictur=
es and 2,000 videos on file and most of those would be from this camera.
IMPRESSIONS:
=C2=A0=C2=A0=C2=A0 I've been frustrated a few times because I couldn't make=
it do something I thought it should do. I almost broke down and read direc=
tions, but I didn't go to that extreme or even get rid of it. What has trou=
bled me is closeups of flowers. Sometimes I get what I want; and sometimes =
the background is clear and the flower is fuzzy. I've experimented with a l=
ot of different settings and buttons, but can't seem to figure it out the s=
ecret to a consistent result. On the other hand, even after fiddling with l=
ots of settings I don't know anything about, I've always been able to get t=
he camera restored to taking pictures. I have another camera in my drawer f=
or which that claim cannot be made.
=C2=A0=C2=A0=C2=A0 This camera is not the lightest, but it is the right siz=
e for me. I carry it in a holster on my chest strap next to my GPS. My hand=
s once confused the GPS for the camera getting excited over mama bear comin=
g to check on my business. I almost never drop it and can almost always man=
ipulate the primary settings without having to take my eyes off the rattles=
nake or other point of interest. I've never not been able to take a picture=
with it. It is hard to hold in one hand and snap off a good one, but I can=
when I need to hang onto a tree branch or something with one hand and go f=
or the pic with the other.
=C2=A0=C2=A0=C2=A0 The LCD is large. I took a while to get used to having n=
o other way to see what I'm framing, but now I think I don't care at all. T=
he LCD did start misbehaving at one point, where I couldn't see anything bu=
t mush holding the camera horizontally, which is how I take most pics. Vert=
ically it still worked. Thinking it was on the fritz I became less obsessiv=
e about caring for it and in that frame of mind I left it on my chest strap=
one time when taking off my pack. Hoisting the pack back on I forgot the c=
amera was there, and kicked it like a barking dog. It sailed far into the b=
rush, but I found it. It has since displayed a couple of dime-sized voids i=
n the screen, but no more mushy image.
=C2=A0=C2=A0=C2=A0 I find that digital cameras can be slow to take a subseq=
uent picture, and that can be annoying. I also don't like that nudging the =
zoom ring makes clicks that get picked up by the audio recorder in movie mo=
de. Of course that the camera will take movies and record sound seems nothi=
ng short of miraculous to me. I carry a spare battery, partly because I won=
't charge one until it is fully exhausted. (Lithium, I know, but I can't he=
lp it.) I don't carry a spare card. Another amazing thing is how much video=
the card will hold.
=C2=A0=C2=A0=C2=A0 Whether the image stabilization works may be more of a g=
uess as I don't know what would happen without it. I do know that even full=
-zoom movies turn out ok, and probably not because my grip is brain-surgeon=
steady. I like taking stills of the moon, though I haven't patience to fin=
d something to rest the camera--won't carry a tripod, either. I max out the=
settings and snap away, often getting one that does not look like through =
the bottom of a bottle of Mad Dog.
=C2=A0=C2=A0=C2=A0 I know the devices are sensitive to grit. Once a piece o=
f nasty got into the lens extending apparatus and things were sticky for a =
while. But the camera self corrected without being kicked. That was good, b=
ecause a couple more of those voids and I wouldn't be able to see anything =
in the screen.
=C2=A0=C2=A0=C2=A0 My SO has given me two more cameras, but I don't seem to=
use them. One is too small to handle easily, and somehow I managed to push=
something that makes it not want to take pictures anymore. The other has a=
sharp edge around the lens that hangs up coming out of the holster. I seem=
to be happier with the Elph. It does almost everything I want without maki=
ng me feel stupid.
=C2=A0=C2=A0=C2=A0 I'm not trying to take pictures for National Geographic.=
I just want to point the thing and get an image. Then when I'm old and try=
ing to remember what life was like before diapers, I can look at decent-res=
olution pictures of happier times without having my desktop grunt through h=
igh-pixel images I won't be able to see well anyway.
Quick shots:
=C2=A0=C2=A0=C2=A0 a) compact
=C2=A0=C2=A0=C2=A0 b) point-and-click
=C2=A0=C2=A0=C2=A0 c) durable
=C2=A0=C2=A0=C2=A0 d) suitable-quality pictures & movies
=C2=A0=C2=A0=C2=A0 e) more features than I need

But the camera self corrected without being kicked. That was good,
because a couple more of those voids and I wouldn't be able to see
anything in the screen.<br id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1492397427942_15569">
My SO has given me two more cameras, but I don't seem to use them. One
is too small to handle easily, and somehow I managed to push something
that makes it not want to take pictures anymore. The other has a sharp
edge around the lens that hangs up coming out of the holster. I seem to
be happier with the Elph. It does almost everything I want without
making me feel stupid.<br id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1492397427942_15570">
I'm not trying to take pictures for National Geographic. I just want to
point the thing and get an image. Then when I'm old and trying to
remember what life was like before diapers, I can look at
decent-resolution pictures of happier times without having my desktop
grunt through high-pixel images I won't be able to see well anyway.<br id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1492397427942_15571"><br id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1492397427942_15572">Quick shots:<br id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1492397427942_15573"> a) compact<br id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1492397427942_15574"> b) point-and-click<br id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1492397427942_15575"> c) durable<br id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1492397427942_15576"> d) suitable-quality pictures & movies<br id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1492397427942_15577"> e) more features than I need</font></div></p>
