I'm looking to upgrade from my SD1100 IS pocket camera. The reviews suggest excellent IQ for both images and video which is good because both are important to me.

Is this truly a camera that carries well in a shirt pocket ?

Any likes or dislikes about this camera ? Owner comments appreciated. Thanks.

The 310hs was, and still is, the last and ultimate "Elph" camera, IMO. And I owned many of them, going back to the advantix film days. It's really only missing manual controls. The IQ is fantastic for a 1/2.3" sensor, and it still bests a cellphone. The 5x zoom was sane and rational for the body size, and the lens is sharp.

Having said that, mine's been in a box in a closet since the time I bought an iPhone 5s. The 6s Plus is even better. Call it laziness, convenience factor, fun factor, technology marching on... I just don't carry a dedicated "camera" form factor anymore.
