Camera OverviewCanon PowerShot ELPH 150 IS

The Canon PowerShot ELPH 150 IS is a compact point-and-shoot camera built around a 20MP, 1/2.3-inch sensor paired with Canon's DIGIC 4+ image processor. It covers an ISO range of 100 to 1600, giving shooters a workable sensitivity spread for everyday lighting conditions. Images can be captured at a maximum resolution of 5152x3864 pixels, with color profile options including Standard, Vivid, Neutral, Sepia, Black & White, and Custom.

For video, the camera records at up to 720p at 25fps in 8-bit color, with Standard and Monochrome color profiles available. Optical image stabilization is on board to help reduce camera shake during handheld shooting. The autofocus system uses Contrast Detection and supports Face AiAF, 9-point AF, and center-fixed 1-point AF, along with subject tracking.

The 2.7-inch TFT LCD display resolves at 230,000 dots. A built-in flash covers up to 4.0m at wide angle and 2.0m at telephoto. The camera accepts SD, SDHC, and SDXC memory cards and is powered by an NB-11LH Lithium-Ion battery rated for approximately 230 shots per charge.

At 142g and measuring 95.3 x 56.8 x 23.7mm in a plastic body, this is a genuinely pocketable everyday camera.

The Canon PowerShot ELPH 150 IS centers on a 20MP, 1/2.3-inch sensor driven by a DIGIC 4+ image processor, capturing stills at up to 5152x3864 pixels.

Six color profiles (Standard, Vivid, Neutral, Sepia, Black & White, and Custom) offer meaningful in-camera creative control.

Video recording is available at up to 720p at 25fps in 8-bit color. The 2.7-inch TFT LCD with 230,000 dots serves as the sole framing and review display. A built-in flash reaches up to 4.0m at wide angle and 2.0m at telephoto.
