I have that Canon Powershot and like it. I have the Powershot Elph too. I do see a huge difference in the black one compared to my Elph -- much crisper photos in low light conditions. I just wish it took better low-light images, but I realize the price point I am in means I sacrifice that feature. Its a great point-and-shoot camera, but hte feedback from friends is it looks "old" compared to the Elph, which is small and sleek. I'll take old looking over sleek any day when I see the photos it produces!
