USED Canon Powershot Elph 500 HS

The zoom dial feels smooth even for a used model, and the camera slips into a jacket pocket without weighing me down. Battery door is snug, and it powers up ready to shoot—solid pick for a compact backup.

The autofocus locks on in under a second even in dim light, which is exactly what I needed for quick shots at family gatherings. Being a used unit, there's a small scuff on the corner, but the lens is flawless and the image quality is seriously impressive for such a tiny camera.

The lens pops out quick and the touchscreen is way more responsive than I expected for a used camera. It's tiny enough to slip in a jacket pocket for daily carry, and I've already gotten some sharp shots with it.
