Other websites list this camera as "discontinued". The latest Elph 340 sells for less and seems better. Is there something special about the Elph 110?

Two things are special about the ELPH 110 that, until now, made it superior to the other ELPH models: 1) a slightly wider lens than the other models (24mm, I believe), and 2) AMAZING video quality for such a compact camera. It appears that the 340 has a 25 mm wide angle and 300 mm at the long end of the zoom, which is impressive. It also has the ability to connect with wireless devices so that you can upload your images immediately to the social network of your choice. It doesn't get rave reviews on its video capability, however, but unless video quality is very important to you, it appears that the 340 is a good deal.

this camrea is great- it has a wider angle than the 340 but most important, the 340 has gotten terrible reviews from pc magazine and other tech sites for noisy images. the 340 does not allow enough light for low light conditions. i was waiting for the 340 to come out but actually just purchased the elph 330 in pink ( price went up on that one too- supply and demand). the 330 was voted top camera by consumer reports last year and is recommended over the newer 340. hope this helps

Yeah what happened? This was $279 just a few days ago and frequently was available for as low as $240. So what gives? Looking to get this, but not at over $400! And be warned, with USB 3.0 quickly becoming the standard, any HD camcorders with USB 2.0 built in will be passe very soon.

The price differences also occur when you try to buy used or refurbished cameras. Different sellers have different colors available and don't charge the same price. That is annoying because often I find a camera that is Prime but not "like new" or vice versa in the color I want. I wish this camera was available in the pretty purple you can get for the 340 because that would be perfect.

"There are other cameras in this class that are faster and have far better sensors with far better ISO capability."You failed to list these cameras and their prices. Could you please post some links? Maybe there are some models I am not aware of.

Iam made to understand that the Sony HDR-SR11 has been discontinued. I got this from a seller. How far true is that?

After all I have read about the 520, I went with another e-510 as a backup camera. If you want the e-510 make sure you get one now, they stopped making this camera. So once it's gone thats it.

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.

Based on your criteria, I'd go with the Elph 310. I've been debating between these two cameras and I'm planning on going with the 310. If you can live without the manual controls and RAW support, the 310 seems better to me in a bunch of categories (including price). Here's a little comparison that I put together (please forgive the alignment issues - Amazon took out all my spacing)... S95 Elph 310 zoom 3.8x 8x megapix 10mp 12mp lens range 28mm-105mm 28-224 aperture 2.0-4.9 3.0-5.9 weight 6.88oz 4.9oz sensor type ccd cmos sensor size 7.5x5.5 6.2 x 4.6 manual controls yes no raw support yes no screen 3" 3" boot-to-shot 2.33 2 seconds shot-to-shot 2.78 0.45 shutter lag 0.55 0.3 continuous fps 0.9 3.4 video modes 720p-24fps 1024p-24, 720p-30, 120fsp (slo-mo) flash range 6.5m 4m

Canon discontinued this camera? I thought it came out last year and was the top camera to buy in its category? I am personally very dissapointed in the quality of the video and regret buying this camera.

I would have considered it a starter camera possibly 2-3 years ago..but now since the firmware is at it's highest revision the camera is limited to older SD cards up to 4GB, no further. Those are becoming harder to find. I have gone from a D50 to D80 to a D7000 currently. The D80 or D90 would be good choices to learn on. I hope this helps!!

Just read this:..."I believe Canon discontinued these because they use the same sensor as their "professional" cameras costing up to $4k."They don´t make these cameras anymore, and they come with a very expensive piece. Probably it´s this.

I have the HS10 and am wondering the same thing. The 200EXR is down to $399. Does anyone have any suggestions. I have heard however that they don't make this camera anymore, is that true?

I don't know why they dropped the MP . I really like the bigger zoom , but the lack of MP is a big disadvantage . I also take my older version with me on photo shoots because of the better MP. My idea was to get a better camera for distant wildlife shots , but now I have to carry 2 cameras . It's a good camera , but would be much better with greater MP .

Holy guacamole discontinued at B&H; already!? Cannot even imagine what the replacement will do as this guy is really advanced (well maybe wi fi or other fufu stuff). More reason to get the camera with the right feature set to take care of your needs for a while. Checkout Digitalcamerainfo dot com has a great review also which rates this highest amongst Extended Zoom category.PS. 42nd street video has it for $459 today.

Thank you very much for the reply. I took the one back that I purchased at wal mart and ordered the same camera from buydig.com. Saved almost 100.00 bucks. I really haven't had a good chance to try it out yet but will. Your post really helped me feel better about the camera.

Greg...thanks for the great comments on the E510. You have confirmed my own research. Seems to pretty much be the best value in the DSLR group at this level. I really appreciate you taking the time to help us out. Based on your comments and some others, we have ordered the E510 from Amazon. We will check out the pics you took. Great help! regards Dar

This camera is now obsolete, so if you want to buy it, check Ebay. I sold mine last year. Sorry.
