    if I remember correct after my experience with a Canon Elph on vacation a couple years ago is you gotta turn off all the auto presets to get normal looking photos... it comes packaged with some image profiles that jack the saturation and contrast. Dig deep into the menus. And don't shoot in AUTO mode.

    End of the day it really is just a basic camera. But on the flipside at less than 200$ I didn't worry about leaving it in an open bag on the beach while were going for a swim.

    • yeah, I wasn't shooting on presets that made it look ever worseMiguex
    • but I wanted a cheap camera just so I can take it on the street and shoot without the worries of carrying an expensive dslrMiguex
    • not a preset as in shooting mode (Auto, P, sport, portrait etc.)... I'm refering to a color effect preset that was burried in on screen menushorton
    • ... on screen menus
