The Canon IXY650 (sold as the PowerShot ELPH 360 HS in the US) is a slim point-and-shoot with a 20.2MP CMOS sensor, DIGIC 4+ processor and a 12x optical zoom covering 25–300mm. Optical image stabilization, built-in Wi-Fi with NFC and 1080p video make it a light carry camera for travel and family shots. It weighs about 147 g and is roughly 23 mm thick, so it slips into a pocket. Against phones it wins on zoom reach and optical stabilization; against larger compacts it gives up a bigger sensor and a hot shoe, so low-light shots are noisier.

Rated 4.6 out of 5 from 106 ratings, owners like it as a light, easy travel camera with a useful zoom. Complaints center on low-light image quality and the older processor.
The Canon IXY 650 is a slim compact digital camera. It is also known as the PowerShot ELPH 360 in the USA. It pairs a 20.2-megapixel CMOS sensor with the DIGIC 4+ image processor for high-resolution images, including in low light.
The 12x optical zoom lens is equivalent to 25-300 mm in 35 mm film terms, and it has an Optical Image Stabilizer. Progressive Fine Zoom extends the digital zoom to approximately 24x. The camera records 1080p HD video.
A large 3.0-inch LCD can be viewed from a wide angle. Built-in Wi-Fi and NFC are included for sharing and transferring images and videos. Hybrid Auto records up to four seconds of video before each image you capture. It then combines each clip and still into a short video recap of the day.
