I used this Canon powershot ELPH 350 HS camera for about 6 months, and very disappointed with it. The picture quality is not that good. You will not get that blurry effect in background and your subject will not be that sharp as well. Although it has good battery backup but shutter speed is very slow. My experience while continuous shooting is very bad because is doesn’t captures sharp shots. It’s like a normal smartphone camera, nothing more than that. In terms of being user friendly it is just ok, because some functions are easy and some are hard to understand specifically buttons function.
