I am having trouble deciding between the ELPH 130 and 330. Can anyone shed some light on this issue? Thanks.

For about $30 difference, the 330 is a much better buy, and for several reasons. First, the CMOS sensor with only 12 megapixel in the 330 is so much better than the CCD sensor with 16mp (remember, in small sensors like this camera, less megapixels is actually better than more!) Also the range is much better, the 330 has a wide-angle lens of 24mm, and the 130 starts from 28mm. And it's also longer, 10x optical zoom on the 330 vs. 8x on the 130. Then you have the Digic5 processor on the 330, which has many advantages over the older Digic4 processor on the 130. Video on the 130 is maxing out at 25 fps, not good enough in my book. The HS330 had 30fps, much more smooth.

Get the elph 330.. i bought the elph 130 at christmas (already own 2 elph 110 cameras which are excellent-much better than the 130). anyway, returned the elph 130 pics were noisy, lighting not good. just got the elph 330 in pink and its fantastic. was going to get the newer elph 340 but reviews from tech sites were not good. the elph 330 is a great camera

L P, Don't know for sure because I have not used my ELPH 330 to shoot video of a basketball game, but have been pleased with what the camera can do with people moving around, cars going by and a dog doing doggy things.

What about the ES8228S? Does anyone know anything about it? I noticed it has a guide at the link above, but there is limited comparative information.

I currently have both the 430 ex II and 270 ex , I am thinking hard about returning the 430 ex II. In P , AV, or manual mode the only real difference I see is the range, the 430 is about 16 feet better. And the 270 does bounce it does not rotate.

I don't have an elph 330, but I have an sx50 conon which work perfectly with this tripod. The Amazon website lists the Elph 530 hs and the elph 310 hs as being caompatible, so I would expect the 330 to be as well.

What's an 'Elph' and does it relate to T1i or XSi (pardon my ignorance, new to Canons)

A degree in computer programming. Ok, I'm being sarcastic, but - I'm not much of a tech guy and I found the 300 completely overwhelming and intimidating. I traded it in and got an RC-30 instead. I would ask anyone - "are you totally comfortable with high tech? Or do you get easily frustrated with it?" If, like me, you are more likely to get frustrated, go with the RC-30.

The model I have is the PL-310 ET. I did not know there was an earlier model.

I have not seen the 330, but I have the 370 and I think without question the 370 would be the way to go if you plan on two people plus dog.

"Elph" is one of Canon's lines of digital point-and-shoot cameras. I currently have the Powershot SD 900 Elph, and love it. But of course it can't compare to an SLR.

Although this is an old post, I am going to reply anyway. I owned the 28-135 and was quite happy with it. I still have a lot of photos I took with it. However, when I bought the 24-105 I quickly discovered the joys of a newer lens. Shorter on the long end, the 24-105 is outstanding for almost everything you will want to do. It is definitely worth the extra $ if you are semi-serious. If you are primarily looking for photos for yourself the 28-135 does a great job and has that extra 30mm...useful. So the answer is...what do you need? If you are going to insist on the best possible, you are going to have to get the 24-105. Either way, you will be happy.

I own the PL-660 and PL-210 and like them both the PL-880 is the latest offering from Tecsun the 660 and 210 are good radios and I really like them I would think the 880 is a new radio with added features I would like to see some reviews on the 880 before I made the purchase in any case the 660 is a good radio.

I agree with Barbara. I don't have the 330 but the 370 has just enough room for two adults and a kid in our case.

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.

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.

I've owned both and feel pretty strongly that the digital is worth the 130. My Analogs are just rugged peltors, where the digitals are a dream.
