Canon ELPH 340 / IXUS 265 review
-
-
Written by Ken McMahon
Canon’s PowerShot IXUS 265, or ELPH 340 as it’s known in North America, is a 16 Megapixel point-and-shoot compact with a 12x optical zoom, 1080p video and Wifi with NFC. The 25-300mm zoom range is what sets it apart from camera phones or more basic compacts, and the built-in Wifi makes it easy to transfer and share images. All this in a stylish and affordable body make the latest IXUS / ELPH a desirable buy, but to make sure we’ve compared it against Sony’s WX350 and the Lumix SZ8. Find out which is the best budget compact for you in our Canon IXUS 265 ELPH 340 review!…

Canon PowerShot SX520 HS review

Written by Ken McMahon
Canon’s PowerShot SX520 HS is a compact DSLR-styled ‘bridge’ camera with a 42x optical zoom range equivalent to 24-1008mm. It features a 16 Megapixel CMOS sensor, 1080p movies, but lacks the Wifi of its predecessor, the SX510 HS. The key selling point here is packing a big zoom into a relatively compact body, but there’s other options to consider including Sony’s H400, Nikon’s P530 and of course Canon’s own SX510 HS from last year. We’ve compared them all in our Canon SX520 HS review to help you find the best superzoom!…
