The advantages are: Higher sensitivity, higher resolution, true panchromatic image, flexibility for special applications when use it with filters. The only problem i see with this is price. A B&W...

FINALLY !! Now I just want this in an enthusiast $600 DSLR body.
The only thing that concern me though is the Dynamic Range.

But yeah, this is more sensitive, more resolution, no low pass filter,...

I think in not challenging circumstances or subjects both will get decent pictures. In anything else the 300HS will blow the iphone out of the water if you now how to get the max of it.

Pixel size is not the only factor but the one has the most impact. I suppose both sensor have equivalent technology. Video requires higher sensitivities because of the 1/30 or 1/24 shutter limit....

Marketing BS at its worst. A cheap Rebel T1i has those features already with the Magic Lantern FREE app.

Chuck Westfall "1DC is a stop better than the 5DMIII because of the 18MP sensor rather than the 22MP" There you have it! @ 4:18

Yes, exactly my thoughts.
I wonder if the really know what they are doing because Canon was *surprised* at how successful the first Video Capable DSLR were. I don't see the market for 4K video out...

With my old Elph 870 IS and CHDK loaded it has an option to display FL, Actual or 35mm Eqv. Oh so is you who has developed this CHDK for the 500HS? great and thanks so much. Yeah the 500HS...

Yes the IXUS 310HS Ha! yeah me too I hate that naming system strongly, even more so within the context of this interconnected world! Good to know! Does CHDK, allows control of the ND...

Well, I always like to make the most of any camera I have no matter how humble. But I can see your point. For instance If I want to shoot a good one person portrait I know that one of the last...

Ha! that would be the first lens in history to violate all optic laws! As with every zoom lens CA is a problem at the widest FL as well as Barrel Distortion and at the Tele end contrast suffers...

Great! I can see you got 18 steps. I guess it comes down to how accurately you handle the zoom lever, which is a pain to park the lens at specifics FL. Have you determined what is the sweet...

Ha! yes I have the Canon 60D but I carry the 500HS with me most of the time. At the begging I didn't like it since I was not used to the touch interface, but now i find myself tapping on the 60D...

Yes I like the 500HS a lot. 24mm f2, good lens and plenty of features for a very low price and specially now that can it be found new for around $180 or even less. So in terms of value the 500HS...
