Canon today also announced the PowerShot Elph 360 HS A, which is just a re-release of the existing camera that was discontinued. The original release of the Powershot Elph 360 HS was January 5, 2016.

Well, we were getting a little bored of making fun of the R100.


Canon will sell a ton of these. Sub-$400, obviously a good margin and booming market.

All of these would be fine but mini-USB in 2025 without the possibility of charging?

I'm amazed that Canon could find those old processors let alone recreate those old supply chains for the other parts.
I get that no R&D was needed except to remove features no longer able to be supported but moving from SD to micro-SD seems to be a backward step.
The Elph won't move the volume needle but they can at least extract some cash from that market niche to support new products on R mount.

This will actually fly off the shelves. People are looking for point-and-shoots and don't want to shell out or wait in line for the G7X, don't want to buy used, or have been disappointed with the trash quality 'scameras' like the Minolta rebadges.

This audience does not care about mini-USB or Wi-fi, they are transferring the photos straight to their phones or laptops using a card reader.

"the newly updated PowerShot ELPH 360 HS A camera’s memory card slot will be changed from SD to microSD to help meet emerging needs in the compact camera market"

What "needs"?
The needs of those unwilling/unable to purchase a 50 cent card adapter?

This is great for those who want a point and shoot and not have to pay rip off used prices. I do think they should have kept the Wi-Fi since the older model had it, it would have been nice transferring the pictures to your phone with Wi-Fi.

Well, there were a bunch of preorders for this camera. I'm pleasantly surprised. I'm looking forward to what's next for PowerShot.
