I've been enjoying shooting with my 330 HS, no complaints so far. Ya know, it is what it is. It's a change from "lugging around" my DSLRs.

Reason for this thread? I keep coming across ads for "like new" S95(s) on my local Craigslist going for nothing. For those who own or have owned both at the same time, is the IQ/shooting experience of the S95 such an "upgrade" that I should just pick up one of these pristine S95 or is the 330 HS I already own about the same?

1/2.3 inch 12mp Cmos vs 1/1.7 inch CCD is a wash.

The S95 opens up to F2.0 at the wide-end compared to F3.0 on the Elph. So i imagine you would notice an small but noticeable improvement indoors when shooting at the wide-end.

Then the Elph can zoom in a lot further making it more versatile.

I would either look for a more meaningful more expensive upgrade(rx100mk3 ish) or none at all.
