Canon ELPH 350 HS Lens specs

The ELPH 350 HS provides an inbuilt lens featuring a focal range of 25-300mm making it a 12.0 x zoom which won't be exceptional nevertheless it could be valuable in certain situations.

At the widest 25mm, the lens offers an aperture of f3.6 which is rather slow and not the best in low light circumstances and you may find it hard to capture a shallow depth of field. You will also need to boost the ISO giving you noisy photographs. On the tele end, 300mm is great zoom and comes with f7.0 which is fairly slow and you will need to use slow shutter speeds.
