A little odd, replying to my own thread 8 months later; but I thought I'd update my post.

I still have the ELP 330HS. One of mine is in my car 24/7. I've also added another one that is in mothballs as a reserve - just in case. I've now owned 3 of these little gems (the third was a gift to my grandson) and they were identical in image quality. More on that later.

I have also added a Canon G7X II. IMHO a significant step forward over the G7X, thanks to the DIGIC 7 processor.

I also went and bought a used SX260HS. Since it has pretty much the same sensor as the ELPH, and a similar processor, there's no real improvement over the ELPH; but it's got over 2x the zoom range.

Over several years, I have owned four different SX260HS or SX240HS with quite a lot of variation in image properties. Two were very good, the other two were not and were promptly returned. In contrast to my very positive experiences with all the ELPH 330HS's. I can't recall seeing a bad report on the ELPH on this forum. I also got lucky with my G7X II.

Thanks for responding Jerry, even though it was 8 months later. I really appreciate your thoughts on these cameras as you're one of the people on this forum whose thoughts and comments I really value and hold a lot of weight for me.
