I’ve also tested the Panasonic Lumix SZ8, a less expensive model that matches the IXUS 265 HS / ELPH 340 HS’s 12x range. Here I’ve compared the IXUS 265 HS / ELPH 340 HS alongside Sony’s Cyber-shot WX350 which at 20x has a longer zoom reach, and a slightly more expensive price tag. The 3 inch 461k dot LCD screen remains as does full HD video and the new model retains the Wifi but adds NFC for hassle-free connection to a suitably equipped smartphone. The IXUS 265 HS / ELPH 340 HS is now the flagship modelīroadly speaking, last year’s IXUS / ELPH range was split into two halves, the lower end based on the 16 Megapixel CCD sensor and Digic 4 processor and the top half benefitting from the newer 12 Megapixel CMOS sensor and Digic 5 processor combination – these were the HS models denoting ‘High sensitivity’ that performed better in low light coupled with an all-round higher specification.įor the IXUS 265 HS / ELPH 340 HS the sensor resolution has been increased to 16 Megapixels it’s still a CMOS sensor, hence the IXUS 256 HS / ELPH 340 HS is the only 2014 IXUS / ELPH to carry the HS suffix, but the processor has been downgraded to the Digic 4+.īetter news is that the new model gets a longer zoom lens now offering a 12x ratio with a range of 25-300mm. But with the rise of the smartphone camera, the point-and-shoot market is a smaller, tougher place and both the IXUS and PowerShot ranges have been rationalised. Strictly terms of naming, the IXUS 265 HS / ELPH 340HS is an update to the 2013 IXUS 255 HS / ELPH 330 HS. In North America it’s called the ELPH 340 HS, so from now on I’ll refer to it as the IXUS 265 HS / ELPH 340 HS. The Canon IXUS 265 HS is a 16 Megapixel compact with a 12x optical zoom.

Extremely versatile, a single vector image, let’s say a logo, can be printed anywhere from the corner of an envelope to a roadside billboard – all using the same original file. On the other hand, vector images are made up of points, lines, and shapes that can be edited to precise detail, and because they’re based on mathematical equations they can be scaled indefinitely to any size. Think photographs! And while bitmap images are essential to any design workflow, it’s important to know that they can vary tremendously in terms of size and image quality – unfortunately running the risk of becoming blurry when enlarged. Bitmaps, also known as raster images, are created using pixels, which are small dots of color. So what exactly is a vector and vector illustration and how does it differ from a bitmap. We put the question to Klaus Vossen, Senior Product Manager for CorelDraw ( CorelDRAW review here). |
