Generally, some of the advantages of the Canon S410 compared to super zoom competitors include: it has a slightly wider aperture (f/2.8 vs f/3.4), is slightly smaller (compact (87×57×28 mm) vs large (130×95×122 mm)), is thinner (1.1" vs 4.8"), is slightly lighter (215 g vs 590 g) and has higher quality type of viewfinder (tunnel vs none).
However, on average it has slightly less zoom (3x vs 64.6x), has a much narrower wide angle lens (36 mm vs 4 mm), has a much smaller screen (1.5" vs 3"), has a slightly lower resolution screen (118k dots vs 460k dots) and doesn't have image stabilization (none vs lens).
