An Ultra-Slim High Performer.
In the twelve years since the original ELPH was instantly and universally
proclaimed an icon of style, successive ELPH cameras have remained at the forefront
of design even while boasting the very latest in digital technology. Now, opening a

the original ELPH and astonishing synthesis of Canon's leadership in technical
advancements. A mere 0.76 inches thick, it is the world's thinnest 12x zoom
camera*.

Canon's pursuit of perfection has driven the development of new miniaturization
including a new lens and new 10.1 Megapixel CMOS sensor that, powered by Canon's
DIGIC 5 Image Processor, create images as breathtakingly beautiful as the camera
itself. It's also packed with the latest Canon technologies including Smart AUTO
with new Face ID and Full HD Video. Brimming with a full range of advanced
technologies that automatically optimize the image quality of every shot, the
PowerShot ELPH 520 HS digital camera makes the ultimate style icon incredibly
