Canon PowerShot SX280 HS 12.1 MP vs. Canon PowerShot ELPH 530 HS 10.1 MP? Looking to take short videos & wide angle photos for real estate listings and start a neighborhood blog.

The battery discharges very fast when doing videos. I'm probably not the right person to ask. Find Mike Francis in Tallahassee. He knows way more

I have an SX280 HS 12.1 MP and love the output quality. If you're going to do much video, you will need to carry a couple of extra batteries as it eats them in video mode. Also, for me, I had a little learning curve with the way I hold it. My left forefinger wants to rest right where the flash pops up. But so far, I'm very pleased with it and have no reservations about recommending it.

I have used the SX280 HS 12.1 MP over a month of two trips and many photos. It is easy to use and carry and takes great pictures. I usually keep it in the flash off mode, the auto focus works well. I have two spare batteries but I could get by with one as I mainly take photos.

the 5200 is has more features, & does more for you. I would have bought that one if I'd done some research. However the 3300 is a peach of a camera for me. If you are a real photographer...get the 5200.

I had both and hated the 340. The 330 takes far better photos/video and has better battery life. However, some of the 330's have an issue with the battery connection that makes them stop working.

Not familiar with the ELPH 530 but reading the reviews, they are not positive. When I selected this camera I went through it's functions and what I knew I would use. It is small and light weight, can fit into your pocket and I like the price. I chose this one because of it's functions and knew I would use them.

If you plan to shoot inside photos with low light, the 4000 wins. Also, for continuous "burst" shooting of fast action--kids playing, etc. However, the SD series culminating in the 1400 is a proven, smaller, stylish Elph--better for all-around use, with unbeatable Canon images. If this was my only camera, I'd go with the SD1400 (and trust my steady hand for the low-light shots).

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....

I bought the 24-105. IK am very happy with it because it has IS. I shoot videos sometimes and IS is a must in those occasions. Overall, pictures look GREAT!!!

Well, I'm now reading about another option: Sony Cyber-shot DSC-H20/B 10.1 MP Digital Camera with 10x Optical Zoom and Super Steady Shot Image Stabilization.This one compares to the Panasonic ZS3 and both sell for approximately the same price. I guess I'm still stuck in wanting to figure out which one of these models (DSC-H20, ZS3, DSC-W350, W370) can do all of the things they promised but at a faster speed.

I had canon power shot Elf 870 ( great camera) and I replaced it with Lx5, but it did not meet the standards.I use this camera primarily indoor and I am getting the yellow/green shades in 50% of my shots. It really does not matter but the manual options are good. I am returning it and would like to get a Canon S100

Can anyone compare P80 with the new Canon Powershot SX10IS 10MP Digital Camera with 20x Wide Angle and Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ28K 10MP ? Thanks

Hi Amanda,I own the 530hs.Overall a very nice, small, portable camera. Video quality is good. However, I do think it picks up more background noise, wind, .etc compared to other devices when shooting video. The picture quality is really good as well. However I work in real estate marketing and would suggest a different camera, DSLR, with wide angle lense. The true selling point of this camera is the Wi-Fi feature, really cool feature. However the battery life is not that great in my opinion and the touch screen needs improving. Almost frustrating at times to use. Touch screen does not respond like a smart phone. Hope that helps.

I was deciding between these two myself last week. I ended up going with the 780is because of the high def video as well as the inclusion of the viewfinder - which is small, but useful when you're running low on battery and still need to take pics. I just got the camera on Friday and have been taking tons of photos and they are brilliantl! I love it!

So glad I found this post as I'm in the same boat and just printed out the specs on both cameras. I'm curious as to which camera you ended up getting and how you like it? My original intent was to upgrade from my Canon Powershot due to a long lag time in between being able to shoot the next picture now that my kids are in sports, but I would still like clear nice pictures. What did you get and how do you like it?

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.

They're almost the same. Get the P310 as it's newer. Beware the small sensor and slow exposure.
