Description — Canon PowerShot ELPH 320 HS
The Canon PowerShot ELPH 320 HS is a compact point-and-shoot camera centered on a 16MP, 1/2.3-inch sensor driven by a DIGIC 5 image processor. Its 3.2-inch LCD touchscreen with 461,000 dots of resolution makes it easy to navigate menus, frame shots, and review images without the need for a separate viewfinder. The body measures just 94 x 57 x 21 mm and weighs 145g, constructed from a plastic/metal composite — keeping things light and genuinely portable.
Optical image stabilization (OIS) helps control camera shake, while an ISO range of 100–3200 gives you room to work in varied lighting. Burst shooting reaches 5.2fps, and video tops out at 1080p with frame rate options of 24fps, 30fps, and 240fps for slow-motion footage. Built-in Wi-Fi enables wireless sharing, a built-in pop-up flash handles low-light snapshots, and Mini HDMI output lets you connect to external displays. Storage is handled via SD, SDHC, or SDXC cards, and the camera is powered by an NB-11L Lithium-Ion battery rated for approximately 170 shots per charge.
