Looks like if you don’t need more zoom, the 330 could be a better bet than the new 340. The 330 goes 1 mm wider, slightly brighter lens at wide (3.0 vs. 3.6), and fewer pixels (12 vs. 16). Other than more zoom, I wonder if the 340 is a step back?

Stay away from 340hs, & 10x is enough I bet !!

I bet for cropping and/or large prints, that 340 16mp sensor will be crap compared to the 330 12mp. Sorry Canon, I think anything beyond 10-12mp on an itty-bitty 1/2.3" sensor is total non-sense!

Unsophisticated cam users like those big #'s, well at least they realize 16 is > 12 !

I did a comparison once, I took identical shots with a Sony 18mp and a 12mp Canon, various focal lengths and the 18mp has LESS actual resolution than did the 12mp ! Really ! Bigger files for sure, more resolution NO!

Not a lens issue, a SENSOR issue, too many pixels ! Silly stuff Canon !
