Canon PowerShot A300 Digital Camera

Pros: User friendly, Crisp, Clean Pictures, Great Price
Cons: Battery Longevity, Memory card is Kind of Small for some people(Holds about 20 pictures)

My husband and I purchased this camera probably about 6 months ago or so - and we are so happy that we did. This camera has been great for us. The price was very reasonable for a camera with more than 3 mega pixels. We bought this camera for ...

Pros: great first camera, a good deal
Cons: on the bulky side, digital zoom

I did a little bit of research before buying a digital camera. I focused on price the most, and then pixels.There were other cameras such as the fuji finepix and the sony 2.0megapixels that were around the same price yet had more functions perhaps....

Pros: ease of use, picture quality, lightweight
Cons: flash is extremely bright and slow, BATTERY LIFE, bulky, long lag between pictures. Worthless zoom.

I bought this camera because of the good reviews it has received and I'm not disappointed by the quality. However, I am extremely disappointed by the battery life and lag time between shots. Pros: I've taken hundreds of pictures with this camera. ...

I am using this camera for work purposes. It is still a little new to me but i am familiar with digital cameras. I will not go too into depth with the details of this camera since i have only been using it a few weeks , and this is an older camera.I am ...

Pros: great pictures and video
Cons: short battery life

This camera is the best in its group. It is easy to use and a great price for its quality. It can even take video! The quality of this camera pictures are definitely film-worthy!

Pros: IMAGE, IMAGE, IMAGE - it's a Canon for less then $200
Cons: plasticky feel in places

The A300 brings Canon down to the anyone can afford basement price. Probably as a knockon effect of the new Digital Rebel this sub $200 camera features 3.2MP, a quality lens and manual or automatic modes. We just bought 4 for the school where I work.

The don't have the carved from metal feel the higher up Canon's have, but they do have a helluva good image.

The A300 runs on a pair of AA cell batteries (rechargeable kit is available), it does offer digital zoom - but I hate what that does to an image so I ignore it.

As a point and shoot digital snapshot the A300 is a cool camera, high quality images, fast refresh rate (2 pix per second is possible) and some video modes it is on the well recommended list for our teachers. I hope to see the Reble push more prices down.

Pros: Super High Quality, Great price, Amazing color, easy to use
Cons: Lag time between button press and actual picture take, sucks batteries fast

I purchased this camera for two hundred dollars and immediately began taking more pictures than I ever would have with a traditional camera. The price tag is well worth the extra memories you will capture. The quality is amazing, especially when set on the highest. Huge picture size and crystal clear resolution. A lot of options to explore for different photo techniques. Plenty powerful for an amateur to intermediate photographer, and probably a complimentary item in the arsenal of a professional. A great buy if thinking about buying a digital camera. I recommend buying a 128 Megabyte memory card upgrade.

Pros: MANY GREAT FEATURES, GREAT PRICE ,AND AN OVERALL RELIABLE CAMERA
Cons: MY ONLY QUALM IS THERE'S SO MANY FEATURES THAT IT SOMETIMES GETS HARD TO USE

THIS IS MY VERY FIRST DIGITAL CAMERA AND I MUST SAY THAT I AM VERY SATISFIED. I WAS GREATLY SURPRISED BY THE MANY FEATURES AND IT GIVES A GREAT-QUALITY PHOTOS. FOR A FIRST TIME DIGITAL CAMERA BUYER THIS IS THE PERFECT CAMERA FOR YOU. TRY THE MOVIEMODE FEATURE. IT 'S GREAT

Pros: Great Quality pictures; very portable; great value.
Cons: Does not have a very long battery life.

This camera realy surprised me. I got it almost (or maybe more than) 2 years ago. It still works great, and gives me great quality photos every time. Just sometimes it lets you down in the dark...and also sometimes surprises you.

Pros: Takes pictures in color, black and white and sepia tones. Clear pictures. Has Macro ability.
Cons: Shutter lag is annoying.

Easy to use, not too compact but small enough to take anywhere, album quality pictures and nicely priced. I was reluctant to give up my SLR camera because of the incredible quality of the pictures you get from an expensive manual camera with attachments. With my Canon PowerShot A300 I not only get great pictures, I can print them out myself. I can take a picture in black and white, sepia and color without changing film or switching lenses. This is the best anniversary gift I ever received.

Pros: Excellent clarity and color.
Cons: Delay between pushing button and photo being taken.

Thanks to the reviews here, I purchased this camera. I'm not disappointed. In fact, I'm more than happy with this camera.

My main reason for buying it was for business. However, I "tested" it on a trip to Italy. The picture quality is amazing, as is the color range (which can be a problem for some cameras). I love that it has the "movie" option, where you can shoot a short flick (20 seconds).

The zoom is quite nice and afforded me a chance to shoot some far-off scenes up close with some great clarity.

Cons--while zooming, the photo in the viewing window is fuzzy, so you're not sure it's going to take a nice picture. Also, there's a delay between the time you press the button to the time the shutter takes the photo. As a result, a few of my photos were fuzzy because I'd moved. For this reason, it would not be a good choice for taking action shots. However, the quality of the photos make it an exceptional choice for just about every other use.

Pros: Picture quality and price.
Cons: No optical zoom, and shutter delay.

This is a very good entry level camera. It also has some impressive manual features. NiMH rechargeable batteries last much, much, much longer than the standard AA. I have had the camera for 6 months and have purchased a 64MB memory card which allows for 38 highest quality pictures or about 2 minutes of highest quality video.
