Canon PowerShot ELPH 530 HS Digital Camera Review

Image Quality

Image quality is as strong as we've come to expect from Canon compacts equipped with CMOS sensors. Colors are lively but accurate. Viewed up close, shots have a smooth texture, but it translates well to regular viewing sizes—shots look mostly clean and consistent even in dim lighting, though as with most point-and-shoots, very dark settings are iffy. Other travel zooms are better performers, but the ELPH 530 HS is competitive with them.
