Digital camera reviews of Canon PowerShot A300 3.2MP Digital Camera with 5.1x Digital Zoom
Digital camera Review: Don't buy it!
Summary: 1 Stars
I'm still wondering how could Canon create such a bad product. I was stupid enough for not read customer reviews before buying it.
The A300 will eat a pair of batteries (even those with more than 2000 mAh) every 10 to 20 minutes, if you're lucky and keep LCD and flash off. It will take a century to respond after you press the shot button and another century to process the picture.
I tried to contact Canon but I guess their customer support is just like their camera - it doesn't work!
Do yourself a favor: don't buy a Cannon A300.

Think SUV is a gas guzzler? Well, this camera is WORSE. We knew about its short battery life, but we bought it anyway. If you have to replace batteries after about 20 pictures w/ flash, that is NOT a minor flaw! Had we known just exactly how short the battery life was, we wouldn't have bought this camera. Forget about its user-friendliness. Don't make the same mistake as we did!Digital camera Review: Don't get a digital zoom

Thought we'd try it out. My boyfriend is a professional photographer and had never used a digital zoom. Lasted 3 days before I returned it. Digital zoom pictures were grainy and dark and of poor quality. I was afraid I would damage the plastic body and the buttons and settings were overcomplicated, even after reading the manual. We had to change the batteries 3 times and we took no more than 20 pictures all the time. Had trouble synching with the computer, too. Fortuntely, Amazon gave a refund and we're going to try another camera.Digital camera Review: Everything except the battery

This is my first digital camera, a christmas gift from my sweetheart. It's great...it has great features...I agree with most of the other reviews that I've read. When I first opened it I was expecting to be able to use it with no problems as I'm pretty handy with things like this. However, I wasn't able to do so, I had to read quickly throught the manual. I wasn't able to take a picture until the next day. I took several videos the first night. The next day, the battery was dead...and I had only used it for 15-20 minutes max. I changed batteries and not too long after the same thing, dead batteries. Other than that the clarity is wonderful and once you've taken a read through of the manual you're good to go.
I would recommend this for anyone young or anyone for a first digital camera.
I'm planning on getting the rechargable battery pack as well as the AC adapter so that I don't have to get frustrated. These items are a bit pricey but less than continually buying batteries OR misisng a great shot due to battery failure.
ENJOY...Digital camera Review: Excellent Digital Camera

Bought this camera after reading the reviews here at amazon.com. I was a bit worried about the battery life. After starting to use it, I did not have any problem with batt life. If works like other D.Cameras. I bought a rechargeable kit anyway. I used the batts that came with the camera and I was able to play with the LCD for setup and filled my 16 MB compact flash and even downloaded the pics. The camera sometimes says that the batts need to be changed but once you switch if off and turn it back ON, it works fine like before. I tried this 2 times and was able to fill another 16 MB card. Ths pics are great and the movie mode is really cool. The digital zoom is [weak]. Wish it had atleast a 2x optical zoom. Anyway I use the software to Zoom the pics so that 's not a big problem for me. This is a great camera for price you pay.
