Should I Get This Camera?

[Christopher Johnson]

So I got an email from amazon about tech stuff I can buy and this camera popped up
Camera : Canon IXUS 240 HS Digital Camera with Wi-Fi - Black (16.1 MP, 5x Optical Zoom) 3.2 inch LCD
Its originally £270 but they are selling it for £99.99!
I believe it records HD has Wifi and is 1080p since I do vlogs on my phone at which is only 720p
Should I get this? Seems like a good buy but im not the best with techy stuff. Thank you

I couldn't tell you from a personal point of view as I have never owned this camera. But I just searched for some video tests and the quality on the 1080p resolution looks great!

Well I'd like to know the same cuz then I could go looking for this camera Currently looking for a camera that I could take outside with me too that wouldn't cost too much.

The wifi sounds handy assuming you can transfer the files over that directly to your hard drive instead of removing memory cards, for £99 the quality looks great:

Still not sure if I'm sold on it. the reviews are great but on the reviews I'm seeing when you zoom into places it gets really blurred when you upload it to youtube

 

[Michael]

Will you be using the zoom a lot? It could be good seeing if theres any vlog style videos done with it already to see how it performs.

I don't know man, still looks like a good camera though. And how much zooming are you planning to do anyway? I'm not familiar with your videos, so I don't know but if you're a vlogger or something like that, I don't think this'll be a huge problem. I have decided to buy Canon PowerShot SX150 IS myself, it has really good zoom but if you zoom in as much as possible and the object's quite far away, it does get blurred too. But I don't think I'll be doing that much zooming anyway so it doesn't really matter to me.

I won't be zooming a lot but in the summer im filming my holiday so for those few days I might be zooming a bit but apart from that I won't so I could probably risk it
