Canon ELPH 360 HS Landscape Photography Detailed Analysis

Manual Focus Mode

With the manual focus mode, you can make fine adjustments to have the perfect focus.

25 mm - Good Wide Angle Coverage

Even though there are very good examples of landscapes photos taken with tele lenses, most of the landscape photos are taken with wide angle lenses.

Very High Resolution Sensor: 20.0MP

Canon ELPH 360 HS's 20.0MP sensor is perfect for landscape photography. It will capture a lot of fine details and let you print them larger.

No Manual Exposure Mode

A correct exposure of a landscape shot is very important. Even though modern digital cameras features advanced algorithms to calculate the right exposure, they still may fail some difficult conditions. Lack of manual exposure mode in these conditions means lot of shadow and highlight clipping.

No RAW shooting capability

RAW files contains much more color information compared to JPEGs, and gives you more room for post processing without significant quality loss. They provide wider dynamic range and option to recover shadow and highlight clipping to some degree.

Small 1/2.3" (6.17 x 4.55 mm) sensor

Canon ELPH 360 HS's small sensor struggles in low light situations compared to larger sensors.

No Environmental Sealings

Landscape photographs are taken outdoors and you should be prepared for all kind of weather conditions.
