Design

This new point and shot camera which is an upgrade of the 320 HS does not have a lot of differences from its previous model.  Canon PowerShot Elph 330 HS has the same plastic material as the other Cannon cameras, however, the Canon logo was raised a little higher so the shooter can have a nice grip to the camera.

 

The rear portion is where you can find the 4-way directional pad where you can see the different functions. It also has the playback button, central OK button, video record button and the menu key. Canon has strategically changed the mode switch to where the thumb would naturally rest so you can easily switch automatic and program auto modes.

If you have used the Canon Powershot before, this would be very easy for you to handle.

Cons

Due to the small lens, the video is not as good as other Canon cameras.
