Canon PowerShot A300 Digital Camera

Pros: We have enjoyed this light weighted camera very much
Cons: The price is a little higher at some places

For several months we thought about getting a Digital Camera. We looked at many different ones. Found out that there were a lot to choose from too! All kinds of shapes and sizes and functions and prices! Of, course in the end we decided on one that ...

Pros: small, cute, price
Cons: none

Batteries die fast, unless you have the ones you can recharge. But then again all digital cameras ar ...

Pros: Perfect images, Simple to use.
Cons: No TIFF/RAW, sometimes ackward behaviour.

I consider this camera as a perfect point-and-shoot digital camera. The quality is - for the price - outstanding. It delivers good quality pictures. It is simple to use and responds most of the time quickly to the pressing of the shutter release.
...

Pros: Ease of use, picture quality, ease of picture transfer to computer, included software.
Cons: Battery life, no optical zoom.

I won't bother with all the details on this camera as a lot of the other reviews already have them. I would just like to put in my two cents about it. I found mine for $199.99 and thought I got a really good deal. I read a lot about digital cameras a ...

Pros: Value for money and range of functions
Cons: Would be nice to have a case, only 16MB flash card supplied

The A300 represents an excellent way of getting into digital photography, even more so when you consider it has video function too.

Batteries and Flash card are accessed via one side, whilst the USB port (cable supplied) is on the other...

Pros: lots of useful options
Cons: none for the money.

This is my first camera ever. I have had this camera for over a month now. All I wanted was a good p ...

Pros: Compact, good controls layout, amazing photo quality, video with sound
Cons: Technical for the first-time camera user, really drains batteries

We just got this after losing out Kodak DX3600 off the bumper (yes, really!). We knew this would be ...

Pros: Excellent picture quality, great value, ability to control photography in manual mode.
Cons: Battery Life.

Ok, who here finds the entire process of buying a digital camera to be incredibly confusing and frus ...

Pros: Ease of use, picture quality, ease of picture transfer to computer, included software.
Cons: Battery life, no optical zoom.

I won't bother with all the details on this camera as a lot of the other reviews already have them. I would just like to put in my two cents about it. I found mine for $199.99 and thought I got a really good deal. I read a lot about digital cameras a ...

Pros: Excellent picture quality, good video options, pretty comprehensive features.
Cons: A little lengthy on shutter lag, BATTERY CONSUMPTION!!!!!

Shop around as there is a wide variation on the price. It is an outstanding camera for $150 but I would never pay $200 or more for it like some places are charging. There are a number of other cameras in the 3.2MP range that are cheaper but I have read ...

Pros: Amazing image quality, Movies w/sound, Small - Easy to carry, Easy to use
Cons: Auto focus is slow, VERY short battery life with alkaline batteries, flimsy construction (feels "plastick-y")

This camera packs a lot of punch for the price. It shoots amazingly high quality pictures, even though it only costs around $200. The interface is pretty intuitive and easy to learn, and the camera itself is small and easy to carry.

Pros: Good image quality. Superior movie clip mode. Compact.
Cons: Build quality poor. No optical zoom. Microphone on top of camera where your finger rests.

It's amazing how much prices have dropped on digital cameras over such a short time, and the A300 is a great example of progress (mostly). So what will $199.00 (US) get you these days? More...

WHAT IS IT?

The A300 is a...

Pros: Easy to point and shoot on the factory settings.
Cons: Too many bells and whistles to scare the novice user.

I saw my cousin using his Canon camera and it blew me away. So I thought, get one too and have just ...

Pros: Easy to use, quality pictures.
Cons: Uses power quite readily.

I have a friend who takes lots of pictures. A couple of years ago he bought an A300 to replace his regular film camera. He convinced me, as he showed me how it worked through various picture taking and movie clips, to buy one for myself. I began to ...

Pros: Price, Ease of use, nice movie mode, 3.2 MegaPixels at this price range.
Cons: Bulk, Battery Life, no optical zoom.

Due to an impending holiday overseas, I was looking for a fairly inexpensive and easy to use digital camera, I didn't think I'd need anything particularly full of feature's, just something that would take a quick holiday snap, and for use at parties and ...
