TheCanon PowerShot ELPH 190 IS is an affordable $159–but expect to get what you pay for. The 2016 budget camera offers wi-fi and an expanded zoom range over the older ELPH 160, but still stands as a pretty basic camera. The sensor size is average for the category, but it’s the cheaper CCD type.
Low-light photos won’t be the best with a maximum ISO of 1600 and a f3-f6.9 lens. The camera is also pretty slow, with a burst speed of just .8.Video is a low resolution 720p and a low frame rate of 25 fps. So what does the 190 offer? The 10x optical zoom is a nice feature.
Wi-fi will now pair it with a smartphone, though we’d really need to take a hands-on look to see if there’s a significant difference in image quality over using a smartphone’s built-in camera. If you need a small camera on a budget, the 190 certainly sits at an affordable price point.
It offers a nice 10x optical zoom and wi-fi, but not much else. Canon has spent most of their energy developing high-end cameras (as they should be), and their compact cameras have only shown small updates.
