Re: Canon PowerShot ELPH 300HS or SX240 HS

Paul it sounds like you give the PowerShot ELPH 300HS a pretty good rating. I would like a camera that shows definite improvement over the ELPH 300HS. I thought that the sx240/260 would be alot better. I suppose you can only expect so much from such a small sensor.

I cannot find a camera called the sx240 on amazon or the net. Did you mean the sx260?

It's pretty much like this:
sx260: maybe a tiny bit better picture , mostly more zoom range.

s100: somewhat better low light performance, somewhat better pictures (though these are all by small margins)
500hs: cheaper, maybe better pictures, slightly better low light performance

In the Canon lineup, if your top priority is more optical zoom, the sx260 (or it's predessor the sx230) are your best bet.
