I just purchased a Canon Power Shot Elph 310 to replace another very similar Canon that I lost. I love it. It has great zoom and also takes good video. It fits in my purse, has lots of features if I want to use them, and an auto setting that is very easy. The display screen is large for the size of camera.
I have a larger Canon that I also love but this one is small enough to carry in my purse. That makes it so much fun.
Good luck. Making photographs is so much fun.
