Re: Canon Elph 310 HS vs Canon S100

Better for what? The ELPH 310 HS has become my take everywhere shirt pocket camera, it works well in that role. $200 at Costco. If I have the carrying capacity and desire to tackle more demanding subjects, I will use one of my DSLRs or my Canon SX40. The 310 has limited manual control but does take pretty good movies and has an 8x zoom lens. It is my insurance that I will always have a fairly decent camera with me. I have never handled an S100, so can't comment. The 310 met my cost, size and quality criteria, but I am only an enthusiastic amateur. Go to a nearby camera shop, if possible, and try them out. Most of the camera shops I know will let you put your own memory card in a the camera and let you take a few photos around the shop. You can then evaluate them on your PC at home, since a camera LCD is limited in judging IQ.
