Observations of the S300 Not Seen Elsewhere

by gee_em , 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.
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...

Canon S300 - is it worth it?

by micro420 , Nov 03 '01
Pros: Nice, small, and easy to carry around!
Cons: Sometimes fuzzy pictures. Not the greatest flash
I got the Canon S300 for $400 through a special eBay dealer. It is indeed tiny and can fit into your pocket. It feels very "thick"... but not heavy. It's very durable when you feel it. What attracted me was the size and the ease of pointing and...

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

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...

SIZE MATTERS when you point and shoot

by likestech , Jun 16 '01
Pros: size, photo quality, and flash card storage
Cons: slow shutter speed, battery life
My first digicam was a small point and shoot that could take pics no better than 320x240. It was one of the first digital cameras sold for the consumer market, and I hadn't had one that small until I got the Canon IXUS 300, which is the same as the Elph...

Great take anywhere camera

by slabhead , Jun 04 '01
Pros: Small, small, small. Excellent quality pics, easy to use, good software. Did I say small?
Cons: You pay for the size.
--General--
Okay, let me get this out right away: my wife needed a camera that is 1.) point-n-shoot easy, 2.) tiny enough to bring anywhere, 3.) has picture quality at or above the 35mm equivalent (small point-n-click), and 4.) is rugged enough to...

Small and Sturdy, Two Extremely Important Attributes

by schoe , Aug 16 '01
Pros: small and metal small and metal hey, did I mention small and metal ?
Cons: No AC adapter is Supplied. price
May 2002 Update
---------------
S330 supersedes this camera in price and features.
I think I'd still go for the S110 though. Either
the S330 or S110, you can't go wrong.

Don't Leave Home Without it....

by andruzzo , Aug 02 '01
Pros: Excellent pictures, compact, stainless steel, stitch function, compact flash, takes quicktime movies
Cons: Pricey, comes only with 8MB flash, no case or AC adapter
I've been keenly watching the digital camera market ever
since the first bulky poor quality cameras came out. Two
things were missing right from the beginning: small size
and high quality pictures.

Who better to deal with...

Nice little package, but not yet perfect.

by felix_ng , Jun 10 '01
Pros: Compact Size, Metal Body. 3X Optical Zoom, CF Memory.
Cons: 2.1 MegaPixel, Cost, lack of optional parts.
Canon has put together a nice little upgraded version of their popular Digital Elph. Added Movie clips, and 3x optical zoom.

Let's look at the PROS. #1 advantage is, of course, its size. With a camera that's so small and easy to carry...
