Last year's Canon SD4000 IS was the first ELPH to approach high-end compact territory, a realm previously reserved for Canon's S and G series models.

- Excellent lens
- Snappy power-on
- autofocus
- and shot-to-shot times
- Decent amount of manual control
- Very frustrating touchscreen interface

Touch-screen aficionados will revel at the size and clarity of the 310 HS' monolithic LCD
Canon IXUS 310 HS
Going for a decade now, the Canon IXUS family of credit card sized digital compacts has become synonymous with blending substance with a heavy dose of style. They don't quite offer the same extent of manual control as the compacts towards the top end of the parallel PowerShot range (S95, G12, etc),...- Large screen
- better than expected noise-free results at higher light sensitivity settings
- decent build quality
- Touchscreen control takes some getting used to
- and you're paying a slight premium over similar spec models because of it
