The Canon PowerShot ELPH 360 HS comes equipped with Wi-Fi and NFC (Near Field Communication), making it easy to transfer photos and videos to smartphones, tablets, or even directly to social media platforms. With the free Canon Camera Connect app, you can remotely control the camera from your mobile device, which is great for taking group shots or selfies. The NFC feature makes pairing with compatible devices as simple as tapping them together, allowing for fast and convenient image sharing on the go.
This camera uses a NB-11LH rechargeable lithium-ion battery, which offers moderate battery life suitable for casual day-to-day use. On a full charge, it can capture around 180-250 shots depending on usage (with Wi-Fi and video draining more battery). For longer trips or extended shooting sessions, it’s advisable to carry an extra battery. Charging is done via an external battery charger, so you’ll need to remove the battery from the camera when recharging.
Equipped with a 20.2 MP CMOS sensor and a DIGIC 4+ Image Processor, the PowerShot ELPH 360 HS delivers good image quality for a compact camera, especially in well-lit conditions. Its sensor and processor combination helps in producing clear, vibrant images, even in moderate low-light situations. However, compared to cameras with larger sensors, it might struggle in very dark environments or when zoomed in to its maximum 12x optical zoom. Nonetheless, for casual photography, it captures crisp images with balanced exposure and accurate color representation.
