Re: Best point and shoot around $300?

Hi NC. Never used the 230HS but did have the 270hs for a year or so and it falls well short of the 720HS in all areas.

The comparometer on Imaging Resource doesn't seem to capture the IQ improvement effectively.

The flip out VF on the Sony and the fixed VF on the Panny were ok but I don't miss them, as the rear screen on the 720 is effective in all but the very brightest conditions (in Scotland, which may not qualify as bright elsewhere!) and even then it's still usable.

Think I posted a fuller description of the camera's abilities some time back.

Good luck with whatever you choose.
