Are these cameras the same?

[Adsy]

I'm looking to buy the Canon PowerShot SX510 HS but on some websites it's listed as Canon PowerShot SX510 without the "HS".

Can anyone confirm if they are different or not and also what "HS" stands for, I'm hoping it's just a longer name for it

Apparently they are the same. Canon's website only lists the HS.
Canon U.S.A. Consumer Home Office PowerShot SX510 HS

Canon's terminology is a bit murky but I believe the "HS" models have slightly higher video resolution. Otherwise, there is no difference between the two models.

So HS for High Sensitivity. " Experience low-light shooting like never before with the Canon HS SYSTEM: a 12.1 Megapixel High-Sensitivity CMOS Sensor and DIGIC 4 Image Processor"

No indication anywhere of an older model without HS.
