Elph 110HS or the S100? If they are $100 different in price, why is S100 better, except manual controls?

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.

I've tried both and for me the extra $100 is beyond well worth it. S100 has much better low light performance and overall picture quality(although 110HS is very good). Video looks substantially better to me as well. The S100 is truly at another level in so many aspects. The 110HS is extremely impressive for it's low price and has to be one of the best at that price range but if you have the extra money to spend you won't regret moving to the S100(assuming you don't get the dreaded lens error).

I got the 200... It had better features and a very nice design. This unit is great for the price, you get the same features of units that cost in the 800 to 1000.00 range. It's worth getting. The units very lite, designed well, (looks cool) and has been extremely actuate for me, the gps function is also very handy in finding your way back to a good spot.

In most ways, the Fuji is the better general purpose camera: better EVF, better LCD, far better rubbery grip, slightly better battery life, better video, and a $70 or so lower price tag as a bonus. The SL1000 also has the panorama mode that Canon still ignores as well.

I don't have the 100 or the 300. My last one was the 500HS. It is smaller now and lighter. The night picture without the flash are all nice. I took lots of them during the Holiday lights event, and they all very clear. Also it has anti shaking mode, it snaps and processing very quick so much less blurry when moving. I think that is a major difference for this camera. Battery life is very short that is the only draw back to me. I like it overal all but be sure to get extra battery.

You can find some rumors about dates here: http://www.canonrumors.com/forum/index.php?topic=8438.0 And given that the RX100 costs 40% more than the S100, I'm not sure comparing them makes any real sense.

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.

Brad - I don't think you can go wrong with either camera. Add to for your consideration the Sony HX5 - it's on a par with these two.I looked long and hard at all 3 of these, researching specs and comments, as well as trying them out in camera stores, etc. I finally chose the S8100, although only coming out in September the amount of reviews is sparse - but even compared to the S8000 earlier model the improved S8100 proves to be a great camera. One thing I really like is the heft and feel of the camera, as well as the professional and high quality look and detail of the camera. It's a joy to take photos with this camera. The photos from it are stunning. Brad - I don't think you can go wrong with either camera.

I did not own the 110 so am not in a position to respond. Check some of the professional online reviews.

I would say that it is but then again it depends on what you're looking for. I exchanged the 100 hs for the 300 hs. The 300 hs offers optical zoom during video and a greater zoom range. I love the size of it which is a bit smaller than the 100 hs, but i found the buttons are alot easier to use than the 100 hs. I also think the +.1 f stop makes a difference in pictures and allows for brighter pictures. The wide angle lens is also a plus! All in all it really depends on what you want out of the camera. Hope this helps!

There's the 100HS, 300HS, and 500HS. So it goes low, medium, and high on numbering. A key diffence on the upper model is the increased specs and full touchpanel screen with no physcial buttons. Pricewise for me its going to be the 300 HS and the real buttons. Had a Sony Cybershot with a full touchback screen and didn't care for it.

The S95 is closer to pro quality. Better for young photographers who might upgrade later, or who prefer more manual control. Moreover, the S95 is likely to produce better pictures simply because it doesn't have some of the distracting gadgetry--big zoom, smile detection, etc.--that's found on the SX230. The idea is to focus your attention on the subject, not on the gadgetry on your camera. For some years the S95 was thre "gold standard" among point and shots, viewed as an acceptable 2nd camera for pros, or as a "transitional" camera for young photographers about to step up to an SLR when they could afford it.

Quality-wise, the SX1000 is as good as it gets at this price and this form factor. As far as better than the 712, I can't say as I haven't heard one of those, but this one has a limiter and a low-cut filter, which will save your life sometimes in certain situations (i.e. you have manually set the recording level for a live band in a club, but they get a little bit louder sometimes and you don't find out till later). And as Jay Jay Jay said in one of his replies to a question about lectures, the stereo mode with appropriately-set mic sensitivity was far superior to trying to use the monophonic and directional lecture mode with this device.

I have to replace my 870IS Elph unfortunately and there are so many other models...which one should I replace it with. I was going to buy the same one BUT the price is MORE than I paid for it when it first hit the market. Any help is appreciated! You may email me at educatorsusan@aol.comHugs,Susan

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.

If you're asking about the price difference between the two PX 100-II models, the "i" ($72ish) has a three-button control for volume/pause/etc. and a mic for use with a phone. Besides that, I understand that they are the same headphones, drives, construction, etc.

I can't give you a comparison of them. I can tell you the S1000 is an awesom bridge camera. You can have full manual control or just use auto. The zoom is great both optical and digital. I highly recommend the S1000. Other revues I've read say shooting video you can hear the lens motor when zooming and ths is true. However you can remove the sound when editing the project.

I have been going back and forth with the same question. I have read all the reviews and opinions I can find on both. After going to the local store and playing with the TZ5 and the 100 (since the 110 is not out yet) I did not find many major difference from the point of view of a novice user. The two main difference I noted were 1) the TZ5 is more compact and I really liked that, however 2) when I zoomed in with the canon on a small sign the image was crystal clear, when I did the same with the TZ% the same sign was very blurry, not even close to readable. This decided it for me. I went with canon.
