Or other...

I just bought a HS330 refurb, arrived last night but my initial impression is very good.

I had a SX280 for a few days and just could not warm up to it, on-off button was in a dumb place and the flash is irritating when it pops up unexpectedly. That's partly operator error but still annoying.

I have had a S110 for a while and like it, really did not need the HS330 but it has more zoom and is more pocket friendly.

The SX280 is getting on the large size for many situations-not easily pocketed for an evening out with friends...at least not in summer. It would be fine in a jacket pocket.

I've got the elph110 for small.. I wanted something with more zoom and still not too big.

I got used to the power button in that spot right away.. and since the camera takes such great low light shots, I have the flash turned off.
