    Great camera for the pocket, and the printer!

    By AnonymousA  Nov 29, 2004 | 37 out of 37 found this Canon PowerShot SD300 Digital ELPH review helpful

    Pros: Tiny size, huge LCD screen, quick start-up, quick shot to shot time, best video mode (on digital camera), Canon!

    Cons: expensive, not too many controls, optical viewfinder is a joke, some image problems

    Overall, I love this camera! I searched for months... and I became less and less satisfied with the smaller models, and was leaning towards a bigger camera, but then I found out about this. True, this is my first digi-cam. But I certainly did my home...work, and I am quite pleased with the camera. First off, take it ANYWHERE. It is that tiny! The LCD screen is perfect, with an anti-reflective coating, and it is definitely sufficient for taking photos and reviewing. The quality of Canon is widely known, so I bought it before anyone had reviewed it. I will not look back. True, there are a few high contrast image problems, but I haven't experienced any yet. Overall, a great camera. Bonus! The best movie mode on a digi cam to date! Great quality video, just get a huge memory card (256 isn't enough for me). At any rate, it is a bit expensive, but if money is not a premium, then this is truly a great camera! Anyway, only reason not a 5 star camera is because it doesn't blow my socks off (I'm stingy with my fifth star. One other thing: When handing it to people, remind them not to get their greasy hands on the screen (I cringe everytime someone wants to see it, I have had to wipe fingerprints so many times).

    Great camera, but pricy for 4mp

    By jchin  Nov 15, 2004 | 21 out of 21 found this Canon PowerShot SD300 Digital ELPH review helpful

    Pros: Small size, great pics, and videos, easy to use.

    Cons: Pricy for 4mp, flimsy door for usb download.

    I'm not an expert, so bare with me...I've had the SD300 for about a week now.This camera takes great pictures, comparable to the Canon S400 and the S40. Yes, I do notice the occasional purple fringing in extreme bright light conditions, but ...that doesn't really bother me to much. Overall I'm really happy with it so far......................
    .....The pros:- Very small.- Great pictures.- Great 640x480 videos, that look very similar to good digital TV quality.- The 2 inch LCD is definitly large enough for a camera this size.- Very simple to use, the menus are more intuitive and seems more simplified compared to the Canon S400 and S40 models...................
    ...................The Cons:- The video files are obscenely large! The downside to taking such great looking videos are extremely large files. Canon advertises the video feature of this camera as only limited by the size of your memory card. So I got myself a 1GB SD card thinking this should be sufficient. At approx. 100 mb a minute it seems a 1GB card can barely hold 10 mins of the best quality video. That's pretty sad.- Also, the SD300 has a very flimsy cover for the USB interface, very easy to break off. I'd recommend, getting a seperate card reader.- No battery life indicator.- A bit grainy/noisy at darker lighting conditions, but it's not too bad.- Pricy for a 4 mega-pixel camera.Overall, it's a great pocket camera. And worth the buy if you don't mind spending a bit more for a 4mp camera.     Read more Less

    great camera!

    By Larry  Mar 1, 2005 | 6 out of 8 found this Canon PowerShot SD300 Digital ELPH review helpful

    Pros: ultra-portable, 2 inch lcd, great picture quality, video enabled and easy to use

    Cons: on the expensive side for compact camera

    i recently purchased this camera as an upgrade to my canon s100 elf after 5 years. while it may not have all the bells and whistles of other compact cameras, its overall size is huge selling feature. it's also very easy to use which makes it even... more appealing. i'd definitely recommend this camera to anyone who's in the market for a new digital camera.

    sd450

    By Cary Alvin  Jul 30, 2006

    Pros: lots

    Cons: none

    I have the SD450. It is great for outdoor photos. Slight lag time but workable for action shots. Battery life is great. Indoor photos need to be close for flash. Very easy for carrying around when attached to belt pouch. Very happy with purchase.

    Canon 300 ELF

    By Rob  Nov 17, 2005 | 0 out of 1 found this Canon PowerShot SD300 Digital ELPH review helpful

    Pros: Size, features, quality

    Cons: Too small for a guy

    Got one for my girlfriend and she loves it. After 2 months, 1,000 picutes and 500 "stop that" she's still loves it. The size is perfect for someone on the go and there are a lot of features to use and master. The screen is big to see pi...ctures and the quality is amazing. For the price, can't beat it! Especially if you're buying it for a girl. Too small for me even though I like it and definitely think it's worth it. Read more Less
