Digital camera reviews of Canon PowerShot A300 3.2MP Digital Camera with 5.1x Digital Zoom
Digital camera Review: Battery Killer
Summary: 3 Stars
I purchased this camera for my mom for mother's day. We played with if for about 5 minutes before the batteries that came with the camera were dead. We changed batteries and have exchanged the camera the bateries still only last for a few shots. I would either purchase a set of rechargable batteries or try another camera. The pictures that we have taken do turn out very well.
Digital camera Review: Best Camera in the $200-$250 price range
Summary: 5 Stars
I sold digital cameras for a living. Take my word for it. This is a great camera! It is very simple to operate and it has some cool features. The camera does not have optical zoom, but I was willing to give up the optical zoom to get the 3.2MP resolution. Most 3.2MP cameras are in the $300 plus price range. I will be taking most of my photos of people and I do not need the optical zoom. No camera in the $200-$250 comes close to this camera. Even the Sony needs improvement to compete.Digital camera Review: Buy stock in a battery company first

I got this camera a couple of months ago and I'm not real please with it. Althought it takes good pictures it eats up batteries even when your not using it. If I let it sit for a week the first thing I need to do is change batteries to get it working. I also have a problem importing pictures directly from the camera to my graphics program, it will only allow for one picture at a time to be imported, this is the first camera that has done this to me. So I'm pretty disappointed with the camera, expecially since it was a Canon.Digital camera Review: Canon A300 Digital - a decent starter digital camera
Summary: 3 Stars
This is the second digital camera that I've owned. I had a Fujidigital for the previous 5 years and it served me well for basic
photos, just a bit weak on the megapixs (1.3), and after the first couple of years; the controls became less dependable.
The Canon A300 has easy-to-use controls, takes digital movies with sound, stitches several pictures together to make a panoramic print, takes gorgeous closeups within a few inches of subject and transfers the pictures to a pc or other device in a snap with a excellent photo program that allows cropping, editing, etc...
There are drawbacks to this model - the digital telephoto isn't too good past 2.5X (goes up to 7.5x), no optical telephoto, uses AA alkaline batteries as if they were candy, the battery and compactflash card door isn't located right as I keep unlocking it when I turn the camera on with the protective lenscap that slides towards it. I would strongly suggest rechargable NIMH batteries and a recharger.
There are better digital cameras out there, but for the low price and features, I would recommend it to anyone who wants to
start digital photography with an inexpensive investment.
Digital camera Review: Canon PowerShot A300
Summary: 4 Stars
This is our first experience with a digital camera. It is a camera easy to use for the novice and has the bells and whistles the experienced or serious digital camera user demands. Super easy to connect to the computer with the USB cable supplied. We think this gives more bang for the buck than any we have looked at. Love it.
