  • Canon Powershot S300 How Much is “Cool” Worth to You?

    Apr 14 '02
    Pros: Tiny, feature rich, excellent 3X zoom, cool & stylish
    Cons: Expensive, no manual options, and poor macro capability.

    Summary: The Canon Powershot S300 is the updated version of Canon’s very popular Powershot S100 Digital Elf camera. The tiny S300 is not for everyone. Canon has been introducing new digital cameras at an amazing pace and all of them are well designed and well...

  • Great Package, Great Camera

    Jun 15 '03
    Pros: Picture quality, small size, good looks
    Cons: 2 megapixel resolution

    Summary: I've had my Canon S300 since March of 2002, and I'm very happy with this great little digital camera ...

  • Great Camera-looks and works great

    Feb 13 '03
    Pros: Optical quality, size, software, Picture quality
    Cons: None

    Summary: I've had the Canon S300 for just under one year and am extremely happy with it. My only regret is that I didn't wait long enough for the 3 mega pixel version.

    However, the picture quality is excellent (beats many 3 Mega Pixel camera) as long...

  • Great Little Camera - but limited

    Sep 13 '02
    Pros: Small, great Pictures, 3x zoom, Movies and Audio.
    Cons: AC Adapter not included, limited flash range, no external lenses or flashes

    Summary: I upgraded to this after buying one of the last S100's available. (My S100 wasn't working right, so I had to exchange - blessing in disguise).

    I really enjoy using this little camera, it has almost everything that one would expect in a camera,...

  • Canon never fails

    Sep 07 '02
    Pros: Great design, good picture quality, nice little zoom.
    Cons: Standard batteries are a little short on life.

    Summary: INTRODUCTION:
    I purchased this camera right after it came out, and it hasn't disappointed me yet. The picture quality is very nice, and there are three sizes along with three different levels of quality. I upgraded to a 128 megabyte compact flash...

  • Very Good Overall

    May 26 '02
    Pros: Very good photos, takes movie clips, rechargeable battery.
    Cons: expensive, 2.1 megapixels

    Summary: The Canon S300 Digital Elph, is a good camera overall. It takes average pictures. It can also takes Videos, and panorama pictures. Comes with a battery pack that can be recharged, though it doesn't last too long, probably every 150 pics, you can always...

  • Best of last four digitals I've owned

    May 15 '02
    Pros: Small, full-featured, great image quality, great price
    Cons: Under-powered flash

    Summary: This was the fourth digital camera that I have purchased in the last 3-4 years and, to put it simply, it is the BEST digital camera I've had. Here are the specifics:

    -Smallest camera. The form factor of this camera is simply spectacular. I can...

  • Small and effective

    May 04 '02
    Pros: Small size, good battery life, takes video clips
    Cons: Video clips are 6 seconds on highest setting, red eye not always effective

    Summary: Not a very big picture person I did fine I was more often scanning pictures to send to family and friends rather then organizing the pictures I had taken. Plus many of the pictures I took were not worth developing. This lead me to look for a digital...

  • Something you can actually use

    Apr 23 '02
    Pros: Size, built, image quality
    Cons: Price, poor macro ability, no audio in video playback (on camera only)

    Summary: If you are looking for a camera you must have your lists (or your head) filled with numbers and figures. This is why the following review will make little use of numerical figures (which you can get at many other sites anyway ala dpreview.com) and...

  • Observations of the S300 Not Seen Elsewhere

    Apr 19 '02
    Pros: Makes excellent 4 x 6 prints; has small size and solid, stylish design.
    Cons: Hard to hold steady at 3 X zoom; red-eye reduction works poorly.

    Summary: I enjoy outdoor photography as a serious hobby and use a Pentax 35 mm SLR, transparency film, and a tripod as my primary rig. Over the years, however, I’ve become frustrated by not having a smaller, more portable camera for spontaneous photo...

  • Great lil' camera!

    Apr 01 '02
    Pros: Great shots, compact size, easy to manipulate
    Cons: A bit heavy, short battery life

    Summary: What can I say, I've had this camera for about 2 years. I'm only reviewing it now because I've just recently discovered this wonderful site!

    But, who better than a seasoned user of this glorious device to offer you my most educated opinion....

  • I love this thing! It works SO well!

    Feb 11 '02
    Pros: Excellent craftsmanship, easy to use, brilliant pictures, fast USB, expandable
    Cons: Need to treat delicately, somewhat long delay when snapping a picture

    Summary: Background
    I'm a digital camera Guinea Pig so to say. I buy so many of them, fool around with them, use them for my local social website, etc.. In general I'm a techno geek.

    This camera appealed to me, due to it's acceptable Mega...

  • My only Camera

    Jan 18 '02
    Pros: Small Well built
    Cons: Dust goes into the eyepiece and dark assist light.

    Summary: I've had expirience with at least 10 digital cameras.

    This camera is by far the best one i used.

    I've made at least 1000 pictures with it. and i'm always delighted with the results.

    About the problems:
    The eyepiece...

  • Not for spontaneous moments

    Jan 17 '02
    Pros: Small enough to take everywhere, Easy to upload to any platform.
    Cons: Slow shutter reaction in auto mode. Movie mode useless in low light. Batteries suck (literally)

    Summary: Great photo quality, especially when you consider the camera size. Resolution is ideal for people like me who frequently post on the web. Even though high-res prints came out beautifully, as well.

    HOWEVER...
    The auto-focus/auto...

  • S30 beats S300 on specs, CoolPix 950 on features and quality

    Jan 16 '02
    Pros: Visual feedback, 1-button access to features, easy review, sound
    Cons: CompactFlash incompatibility, poor download software, forgets settings, rocker switch hard to "select"

    Summary: I already had a camera, a Coolpix 950 with which I was well pleased. But I did notice sometimes I didn't have it with me at the right time, and others it was a bit bulky, there was too much shutter lag, or a whole batch of pictures would be ruined by the...
