Was this really supposed to be superior to the Elph 100 and 300 models as well as the "plain" 500 Elph? Why? What happened?

ELPH 530 added wi-fi over the 520 and it also shoots 1080p video. The 500 series also has greater zoom (12X optical) than some of the earlier series. They downsized the pixel count, but people are finding that 8 megapixels or so is enough, except perhaps when blowing up to 8-1/2"x11" after cropping. Does that help ?.

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.

The speed is more variable on the 1200 model. If you examine enlarged pictures of both, you'll see a dial on the 1200 that is not on the 1000.

The biggest difference I noticed immediately was the way it shifted so much more smoothly.. When it comes to power, I didn't really notice too big a difference to justify that being the main reason to buy. Granted you might running 35's as I was only running 31's

I have 305 and I decided not to buy the new 405 because:a) I am using the 305 while kayaking (it is waterproof to 1 m) and I fear 405 is not;b) When running in a new area or city I can use the basic map of the 305 to backtrack (very useful when you are lost! ) and I read a post from the developers that the 405 does not have even the crude maps that 305 has and that basically sealed the deal fore me.

The only difference is the 36300 doesn't have an outside thermometer. And the weight difference would be the temperature probe and the wiring (although I just looked at the product pages and it seems like the listed weights are swapped (although the listed weights and measurements on Amazon are almost always wrong)). I got the 36500 and I'm pleased with it except for the fact that I think it should have an inside thermometer also (though I haven't seen any that do) and the fact that the map lights are incandescent rather than LED (and I just bought it last winter, that's very strange in this age of everything going LED), but they are easily changeable to LED (it's just a matter of finding a decent led replacement bulb (most of them are cheap china junk)).

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 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

TYT had lost a court case in China and was forced to discontinue sales and production of the TH-9000 radio.Well, the TH-9000 is back and it's called the TH-9000D. I guess that makes a difference to the Chinese attorneys.Please note there are issues with programming and clone on these new models reported. Also the microphone connecter has a different wiring than the orginal series.

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

I have a Canon elph 750 and a elph 790 new. They are both producing orbs on my pics. My old Fuji finepix 700 does not. They are saying it's because the lens in located too close to the flash and is lighting up dust or mist in the air. My Fuji is long and the lense is far from the flash. They just got carried away with the "small" camera and someone needs to fix it. I'm returning both of these cameras and waiting till they do. It's too common of a problem for them not to address it. No one wants spots on their pictures. They show up on faces too. If anyone knows of a new camera that has fixed this problem please let us know.

I simply replaced the old one w/o comparing the two. I did not "notice" any difference from old to new. It wasn't like, "WOW. this is amazing!!" I should have replaced one and compared, but I did not. sorry no help.

My stylist told me to get the Elchim and she indicated to get the cheaper one. That's what I did and I'm happy with it. I don't know if I answered your question, but I hope this helps.

The Canon G12 is a nice camera but it appears it will be allowed to fade away (prices remain high, easily available, no one buying). I've noticed many cameras (including Nikons) have reduced build quality --- even the Elph 310 vs. the Elph 300. So, don't wait for the G13 or G1a. Get this or the Fuji (I also like the viewfinder). (The Fuji is better built, costs more, and is made by a company with no customer service.) The G12 has been replaced by the SX40 --- so say even Nikon techs. Want a 5x lens (with great video thrown in) and a non on the mantle camera --- get the Elph 300 (in black) for $149. (Just live without the viewfinder and have a beer first.) :-) The Canon G12 is a nice camera but it appears it will be allowed to fade away (prices remain high, easily available, no one buying).

I recall when I bought my 9001 a newer version was also available. The newer one didn't seem to be any better than mine other than it was a slightly better looking unit. I don't remember other details other than aesthetics. I love my 9001.

I would not recommend this model.... I have had 2 of them go out on me withing several months and Cannon said they wouldn't fix the 2nd one.. not happy. I love my 1000 and 1200 models though. All do have delays though!

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 got confused reading the reviews in the search engine over this, and I almost bought the wrong model. This camera (HX400V) is NOT the same as the H400, and reviews about this camera compared with the Sony website is a bit confusing. One reviewer said they are both the same except for GPS, which is incorrect. The basic model has a 63x zoom, and no GPS or WiFI, and some other features are missing, but the HX 400B/V is the high end model with the Carl Zeiss 50x lens, (better glass, lower f/stop) the Wifi, GPS and the upgraded capabilities.
