About the Canon IXUS 310 HS (ELPH 500 HS)
Canon released the IXUS 310 HS, sold in North America as the ELPH 500 HS, in February 2011. It stands out for its bright lens: a 4.4x optical zoom covering 24-105 mm in 35mm terms with a maximum aperture of F2 at the wide end, narrowing to F5.8 at the tele end. A 1/2.3-inch BSI-CMOS sensor of about 12 megapixels sits behind it.
The body is 101 x 56 x 25 mm and weighs about 185 g, noticeably more solid than the slimmest pocket cameras. The 3.2-inch monitor is generous for its size. Recording goes to SD, SDHC or SDXC cards, and the battery is an NB-6L lithium-ion pack. The F2 opening helps in dim restaurants and evening streets, and the 24 mm angle gives a roomy field of view. It is a compact for people who prefer light gathering and width to a long zoom.
Buying one used
The camera uses an NB-6L lithium-ion battery; confirm it holds a charge. Check the 4.4x lens extension, examine the 3.2-inch monitor, and try an SD, SDHC or SDXC card to be sure writing is reliable.
