From the Manufacturer

Experience the Power.
Canon's HS SYSTEM with a 12.1 Megapixel CMOS and DIGIC 4 Image Processor improves shooting in low-light situations without the need for a flash and lowers noise levels at higher ISO settings.
The Canon HS SYSTEM takes the frustration out of low light shooting. The system delivers clear, blur-free shots with all the ambiance intact, and frees you from the sometimes unwanted effects of using the flash. Beautiful low light shots are possible at both low and high ISO speeds, and the dynamic range is expanded to retain maximum detail in highlight and shadow areas.
The system is the result of two technologies brought together in a compact PowerShot. The first is the 12.1 Megapixel CMOS Sensor, which positions the light-receiving surface for optimal light reception. More light means clearer, blur-free images with plenty of detail and nuance, even in dark areas. Working together with the CMOS sensor to deliver the HS SYSTEM is Canon's advanced DIGIC 4 Image Processor, which actively reduces noise and delivers high speed image processing.
Memorable Moments in Spectacular Full HD.
Full 1080p HD Video for exceptional quality with stereo sound, plus a dedicated movie button for easy access. Zoom optically while shooting video and keep footage stabilized with Dynamic IS.
Experiencing the brilliance of Full 1080p HD video in a Canon PowerShot ELPH digital camera has never been easier. With the convenient dedicated movie button, you'll be able to instantly record everyday moments in amazing life-like realism at a push of a button. You can also operate the optical zoom while shooting video so you can get in close–but don't worry about shaky footage because Dynamic IS will help keep your videos steady!
A PowerShot that Keeps Up with the Action.
Get high-speed shooting in a point-and-shoot camera: High-speed Burst Mode captures 8.2fps and Super Slow Motion Movie records video at high speeds to allow slow motion playback.
Sometimes, the action just won't stop for you. The PowerShot ELPH 100 HS digital camera is equipped with High-speed Burst Mode that can capture 8.2 frames per second, letting you catch the sequence of the action–a feature great for using at sport events!
You can also add a fun slow motion effect to you videos with Super Slow Motion Movie. Super Slow Motion Movie will record your clips at a high speed so that when you watch your videos, they'll play back in slow motion–a feature also useful for analyzing a play-by-play of sports moves!

Customer ReviewsBy Nav_Men
I did a little bit of research before buying this camera. I chose this one over the sony cybershot and the panasonic lumix because of the canon brandname and the resolution. It takes really beautiful crisp pictures and adjusts to the light conditions around you. I think it the best point and shoot out there in its class!

When upgrading to a new camera, I was also considering a Coolpix based on reviews, but decided to pay extra and get this ELPH for several features I knew I'd use a lot: slow-mo video, tilt-shift miniature filter, isolated color filter, and fisheye.

Coming from an Olympus C-60, the ELPH 100 HS is a huge upgrade. The C-60 was a couple of technological generations ago, and didn't have image stabilization, which makes the biggest difference. This is particularly noticeable when taking no-flash photos.

I paired this with an 8GB Class 10 card and it is snappy. Some people have complained about delay between pictures, but I am completely satisfied in this respect, and I wonder if the memory card speed has something to do with it.

The only disappointments I have with the ELPH 100 HS is I thought the best-pic-of-three feature was standard, but it's one of the non-auto shooting modes. Macro is also only available in non-auto modes, so it's kind of annoying to have to switch modes, scroll to the non-filtered option, and then turn the macro on. The quality of the photos is sometimes disappointing - low-light photos tend to be grainy, and with other photos (haven't determined the precise causes yet) the color seems overly vivid. With most of my other cameras, Photoshop's auto-levels/contrast/color would almost always improve the picture, but with this camera those Photoshop features usually make it worse, so I spend more time manually correcting.

Overall, very happy with the camera. Picture quality could be better, but it is not bad for the price range. Size of the camera is awesome, way more easily pocket-able than my previous Olympus. The battery life is phenomenal.

Ive only had my camera a week. And i just love it, My favorite scene modes are Fisheye, Poster Effect and Super Vivid. Its slim and light weight Ive been carrying it around in my wallet. I also really love the Pink color The stock shot does not do justice to just how beautiful the pink is. When i was looking for a camera I was looking for Something with fun features that also took really great shots And took them rather quickly Chasing after two kiddos (7 and 3) I need a quick camera. So far this has meet my needs for a camera very well.
