Re: Need to buy a camera under 300$. SX230 HS or SX260 HS

Hi and welcome.

I can't comment on the SX230, but the Sony HX20V does out shoot the SX260. I tried them both, the speed of the HX20V really makes a huge difference. My friends had a SX260 at a wedding that we went to and could not stop complaining about it. I experienced the same at the store. I do think the IQ is better on the canon, but whats the point of IQ if your subject wont stand still long enough and comes out blurry?

Also, if you aren't overly concerned with zoom, have you looked at the canon S line, like an S95 and S100? You can get them on ebay for sub $300 and the IQ and speed are infinitely better than any camera discussed here. They are worth it.

my .0002.
