From the Manufacturer:

The PowerShot ELPH 115 IS features a powerful Genuine Canon 8x Zoom Lens that delivers outstanding optical performance and versatility. Fitting a high-performance lens with such wide zoom range into a camera so thin would normally be considered an impossible feat but Canon's expert optical engineering met the challenge, developing a lens that achieves outstanding compactness with high zoom power and superb performance. The zoom starts at 28mm wide-angle and extends to 224mm telephoto (35mm equivalent), covering an exceptionally wide range. The telephoto reach gives you the freedom to capture subjects from a considerable distance, while the 28mm wide-angle makes it easy to shoot sweeping landscapes, large groups of people and tall buildings.

Features:

• 8x Optical Zoom with 28mm Wide-Angle lens delivers stunning images and allows you to capture more in your frame.
• 16.0 Megapixel sensor with DIGIC 4 Image Processor for exceptional performance.
• Smart AUTO intelligently selects the proper camera settings based on 32 predefined shooting situations for capturing spectacular images with ease.
• Shoot brilliant 720p HD video with a dedicated movie button.
• Intelligent IS automatically chooses from six different modes to optimize image stabilization for the shooting condition.
• New ECO Mode helps reduce power consumption for longer battery life.
