The Canon PowerShot ELPH 340 HS is a slim, everyday point-and-shoot camera built around a 16MP, 1/2.3-inch sensor paired with Canon's DIGIC 4+ image processor. It delivers full HD video up to 1080p at 30fps or 24fps, making it a capable companion for both stills and casual video. The camera's 3.0-inch LCD display with 461,000 dots provides a clear framing and review experience, while the ISO range of 100 to 3200 covers a reasonable spread of lighting conditions.

Optical image stabilization helps reduce camera shake during handheld shooting, and the digital IS adds a secondary layer of stabilization when needed. Maximum still resolution reaches 4608x3456 pixels, and burst shooting is supported at up to 2.5 frames per second. Built-in Wi-Fi enables easy image sharing and remote connectivity, while SD, SDHC, and SDXC card compatibility gives flexible storage options.

The body is constructed from a combination of metal and plastic, measures 95.5 x 56.8 x 22.1 mm, and weighs just 140g, keeping it genuinely pocketable.
