Attractive and stylish "box and circle" design that harks back to the glory days of early ELPH cameras, Highly portable with a snazzy matte front plate, White version made us think of the classic iPod design, Very versatile 12x (28mm-336mm) l...
Image quality limited by small 16.8MP sensor with 10MP output, Lens produced soft images, lacking in detail, particularly at the telephoto end, Images showed noticeable purple fringing (chromatic aberration) in areas of high contrast, such as tree bran...
The Canon PowerShot ELPH 530 HS certainly has its charms. Sporting Canon's classic "box-and-circle" design, this little rectangle camera looks and feels distinguished without being stodgy or dated. We tried out the all-white version and liked...
The IXUS brand never fails the consumer in terms of looks, build quality and image quality. The IXUS range are the cameras that are meant to look good. They may offer relatively little in terms of new technology, so you're paying for the reliability o...
We loved the Ixus 500, calling it ''a little ripper'', but the 510 takes a fundamentally excellent camera and spoils it with an unworkable touchscreen. Buy the 500, save yourself money and end up with a better camera...
Easy to set up and transfer photos over Wi-Fi. Excellent range of wireless transfer options. Sleek design
Uses microSD cards. Short battery life. Some images can appear soft. Resistive touchscreen limits swipe, pinch-zoom actions
A camera for the social-media generation, the IXUS 510 HS delivers Wi-Fi connectivity, a 12x optical zoom and a touchscreen to make users feel right at home....
30x optical zoom, Built in Wi-Fi, Full manual control
No raw shooting, Can't set AF point, No touchscreen
Even though the zoom range is the clear star of the show, what really shines about the Canon SX510 HS is its flexibility. Pictures are of good quality and although images get a little noisy at higher sensitivity settings, details are retained fairly well...
Decent image quality, touchscreen useful for hands-on focusing, Wi-Fi will benefit some users
Expensive, chunky design, on/off and playback button placement, touchscreen won't be to all tastes, touchscreen well behind current mobile phone standards, micro SD, poor battery life
The Canon IXUS 510 HS is a winner when it comes to image quality, and the touchscreen is useful for hands-on autofocus. However the overall design is less appealing, the lack of buttons makes menu digging tiresome and the high price makes it quite exto...
A return to form for the IXUS line, the Canon IXUS 510 HS is one of the best-looking cameras you can buy, and if you do, you won't be disappointed with its output. Vivid colours, fine detail and a good zoom make this camera a great choice....

Good looks, Excellent image quality, Wi, Fi a useful extra feature
Pricey, Wi, Fi has limitations
Build and image quality are both more than up to par, leaving you only with the unpleasant task of actually paying for the Canon IXUS 510 HS. At around £350 (about $550), it's expensive for a compact camera; in fact, it's actually a little more than Cano...
