Description — Canon PowerShot ELPH 135
The Canon PowerShot ELPH 135 is a straightforward point-and-shoot camera designed for casual everyday photography. At the heart of the camera is a 16MP, 1/2.3-inch sensor driven by a DIGIC 4+ image processor, delivering images across an ISO 100–1600 range. The compact plastic body measures just 95.2 x 54.3 x 22.1mm and weighs 127g, making it easy to carry anywhere.
Framing and review are handled via a 2.7-inch TFT LCD with 230,000 dots — there is no viewfinder. Autofocus relies on contrast detection and face detection AF with a single focus point. The built-in flash covers auto, on, slow synchro, and off modes for basic lighting flexibility.
Image stabilization is digital/electronic in nature. Video records at up to 25fps in 8-bit, with a Standard color profile. Storage uses SD, SDHC, or SDXC cards, and the NB-11L / NB-11LH battery is rated for approximately 190 shots (CIPA) or up to 280 shots in ECO mode.
Seven photo color profiles — including Toy Camera Effect, Fisheye Effect, and Miniature Effect — add a layer of creative variety for casual shooters.
