Camera Overview — Canon 190 IS

The Canon 190 IS is a compact point-and-shoot camera built around a 20MP, 1/2.3-inch sensor powered by Canon's DIGIC 4+ image processor. With a maximum photo resolution of 5152x3864 pixels, it delivers detailed stills suitable for everyday photography and casual shooting. The ISO range runs from 100 to 1600, giving it a workable sensitivity range for a camera in this class.

Optical image stabilization (OIS) helps reduce blur from camera shake, a welcome feature for handheld shooting. The 2.7-inch TFT LCD display with 230,000 dots serves as the primary means of composing and reviewing shots, as there is no viewfinder listed in the specifications. On the video side, the camera records up to 720p at 25fps.

Connectivity includes built-in Wi-Fi and USB, making it straightforward to transfer images to devices or a computer. Storage is handled via SD, SDHC, or SDXC cards. The camera runs on a rechargeable lithium-ion battery and weighs just 123 grams, with dimensions of 95.3 x 56.8 x 23.6 mm — making it genuinely pocketable.

A built-in flash is included, while autofocus operates via contrast detection.
