PowerShot ELPH 500 HS vs. PowerShot SX230 HS
1340372
I purchased this week and was dissapointed by a Panasonic ZS10 and was also searching for a replacement. You might like this website as a comparison of features. For the more common photos (birthday, parade, sports) it looks like the Elph 500 is the winner. Choose the SX230 if you travel on a regular basis and take mostly outdoor and daytime photos. The GPS feature and high zoom capability will help with those far away pics taken in nature (mountains, pyramids, etc). http://snapsort.com/compare/Canon-ELPH-500HS-vs-Canon-SX230-HS

I'd prefer the 330 HS -- because I don't trust touchscreens. However, I don't own either at the moment. I'm shopping for a replacement for a damaged 300 HS, and the 330 HS appears to be a similar camera with some nice upgrades. The differences in megapixels and zoom range are really minor. It's doubtful that you'd notice any significant diffs.

Looks like the ELPH 300 sports a wider angle lens (24mm) than the ELPH 100 (28mm) and a 5x zoom, vs. the 4x zoom on the ELPH 100. The back interface is also different. The 300 offers several more buttons, including one-touch video mode, and a 2.7" LCD screen. The 100 has fewer buttons and a 3" LCD screen. That 24mm lens sounds especially good to me. I also prefer more buttons vs. a larger screen, and obviously the 5x zoom is an advantage. I'm going to give the ELPH 300 a shot. EDIT: Also read that the 100 does not optically zoom during video, but I'm not sure of that. Worth checking out if it's important to you. I know the 300 supports optical zoom during video, which for me is important.

This month, Amazon started sales of The Powershot Elph 110 HS which has all the best features of both The Elph 100 HS and 300 HS.

I think it shoild work on the Elph HS. It may be worth a call to Cannon Customer service. My daughter uses hers all the time but I believe that there are different versions of the HS.

Carol I have not owned an Elph 530 to compare. I have had 2 of the ELPH110's and one 130. Both of these have been great cameras so I would assume that the 530 would be an exceptional camera also! Most of my photography is while fishing, hunting or busy outdoor sports, these cameras hold up well!

I think the SX40 may be better than SX30 but there is no RAW output. Maybe time for a T3i!

I recently bought the SX10IS and it's a nice camera, zoom is kind of noisy for the price, so I am sending it back and waiting on the SX1IS to come in. I want the faster burst rate, the HD movie quality and the remote control features.

I have the HS10 and am wondering if the 200EXR is a better buy at just $399. I have heard that they don't make this camera anymore.

I have the CANON PowerShot SX500 IS, and it does work well with that camera. I cannot comment on the SX510 HS. sorry.

I got Canon SX30is(well,last Nov). I was fairly satisfied except inability of continual shooting(1.3 frame/sec.)picture quality(PQ) not so good but acceptable for 1/2.33 sensor,720 HD video is good, but Sony came out with HX100 30X zoom with rapid shooting,1080 HD and Finepix HS20,now Nikon P500 with 1080 HD, 22.5mm-810mm lens which is due for sale on March 3rd in Japan. I'm tempted,but what do I do with Canon....

The Elph S100 is now 14 years old (2000) while the Powershot S100 was first made in 2011. The Elph has 2.1 MP while the PowerShot S100 has 12.1 MP, the Elph uses Compact Flash cards and the PowerShot uses the SD series including the SDXC cards. They are no where close to the same cameras.

Why do you say " that the SX10IS will be better for photos" when this is the bottom line of the review you link: Canon's PowerShot SX1 IS has justifiably become one of the most talked-about super-zoom cameras on the market today. It takes the already capable PowerShot SX10 IS with its powerful 20x zoom and articulated screen, but swaps the sensor for a CMOS version which can deliver both HD video recording and fast continuous shooting. As such, the SX1 IS becomes the latest and arguably one of the best hybrid cameras to date, delivering 10 Megapixel stills at up to 4fps with a decent degree of manual control, along with Full HD video in the 1080p format. The SX1 IS is more than just the SX10 IS with HD and fast continuous shooting though. Canon's also fitted an HDMI port to deliver quality output to an HDTV, supplied an infra red remote control to make those HD slideshows even more convenient, and swapped both the viewfinder and screen for wider 16:9 shaped models to better-suit the HD video mode. There's also a digital teleconverter option which can double the reach of the lens without any loss of quality when filming video. The lens motor is also the improved silent mechanism used on higher end cameras and comes with RAW without need to update firmware (my additional comments...the only downside I see is the lower resolution viewfinder but I rarely use viewfinders any more anyway).

Yes... I'm very happy with the sp570 that I'm using right now, which includes RAW and RAW+JPEG shooting, as well as a hot shoe. I was hoping Olympus would include a rotating LCD after Canon's new model. That would have been nice. I'm upgrading to an SLR shortly, but the specs on this are worth a second glance. 26x... wow. The Bird-Watching mode also appeals to me as a wildlife photographer, although I'm not sure how exactly it would work. I know the smile shot option on the 570 is utterly useless. But the predecessor, although much maligned, is a fantastic camera, so I guess we'll have to see.

I have a PowerShot SX510 HS, and the cord fits perfectly. Don't know about the S110 Elph.

The Canon PowerShot ELPH 330S won't fit - I could cram it in but it was very tight and the case wouldn't snap - the 500HS is slightly bigger, so the I would not expect it to fit either
