About the Canon PowerShot ELPH 170 IS (IXUS 170)
The PowerShot ELPH 170 IS, released in January 2015, is sold as the IXUS 170 in many regions and as the Canon IXY 170 in Japan. It is a slim travel zoom with a 1/2.3-type CCD sensor of about 20 megapixels.
Its 12x optical zoom runs from 25 to 300 mm in 35mm-equivalent terms, with an aperture of F3.6-7. That gives more reach than the shorter 8x models in the same range, which is useful for distant scenery and portraits without moving closer, though the small aperture at full zoom favours bright conditions. The body measures 100 x 58 x 23 mm and weighs about 141 g. It has a 2.7-inch monitor, the NB-11L lithium-ion battery, and SD, SDHC or SDXC card storage.
Buying one used
The NB-11L battery and its charger should be present. Run the 12x zoom through its full range for hesitation or noise, look for scratches on the lens, and check the 2.7-inch monitor and SD slot.
