Digital camera reviews of Canon PowerShot A300 3.2MP Digital Camera with 5.1x Digital Zoom
Digital camera Review: Good quality, bad performance.
Summary: 3 Stars
I bougth this camera on January 2004 and I already sold it. Quality pictures was pretty good, but time between shots is really long. When you ask somebody to take a picture for you it is very very embarasing because many times the shutting button just doesn't work. I think this is not a good election to buy please check other trademarks since I have read this problem also occurs with other CANON cameras.Digital camera Review: Great Bang For Your Buck
Summary: 5 Stars
After comparison shopping other digital cameras in a $100 to $300 range I decided to go with the Canon A300. I've had two different digital cameras since my first in 1996... this is simply amazing technology for the relatively small price. It's fairly easy to use and light and small enough to fit into a front pocket even. It takes wonderful pictures and I'm looking forward to using the mini movie with sound function to help sell art I create. I don't recommend products lightly but if you're on a low budget and you want or need a great digital camera... this is one with wonderful "bang for your buck" plus with a name like Canon.. you know you're getting quality to boot.
Digital camera Review: Great Camera for the first time user
Summary: 5 Stars
This is my first Digital Camera!I got this camera for my 15th birthday from my dad, he is VERY picky about how well it works, how fast and if it works at all.
I read through the manual, which is kinda long, but you don't have to read all of it to figure it out. After finishing the manual, I took about 8 pictures, and 4 movies, the batteries seemed fine, but when it came time to cut the cake and sing happy birthday, I couldn't take pictures because the batteries were dead!
I just flipped them (took the batteries out, reversed them so the batteries were switched) and the camera worked fine again, I still have to figure out how to get the best quality.
Speaking of quality, the reviewers are lying! When I use the digial zoom to the fullest, it is not fuzzy, choppy or anything! The images are still great, and the quality on this camera is EXCELLENT!
When I loaded the images to my computer, the set up disks were very easy to follow, and very fast. and Loading was a piece of cake! It took less than 10 seconds to bring everything to my files.
This camera is so much fun, but to enjoy it to the fullest, I suggest these purchases:
1. A Camera Case (to keep this baby safe)
2. A 4 pack of rechargeable batteries (you'll need 4, two to use, and two to charge, then between times, you never have to wait. You'll always have one pair ready to go)
3. A battery Charger (Unfortunately these can be pricey but they are worth it)
4. An AC adapter (the thingie that plugs into the wall, they're useful while you charge batteries or to save you $$$)
5. A larger flash card (I find the 16MB just fine)
6. A Warrenty in case something goes wrong (the camera comes with a one year warrenty through canon already, but I suggest one through the store you buy the camera too)
I'm very lucky to have had all these things from my CD player, so I my dad only paid for the camera and warrenty, which was an excellent price for 3.2 MegaPixels. With other cameras, you are bound to pay more on flash cards, batteries, equipment etc...
Remember to enjoy this Camera :) It's loads of fun!
Digital camera Review: Great Camera with some minor drawbacks...
Summary: 4 Stars
I love it...It is my first digital camera but for the price it really has more features than you would expect. I would like if it were a little smaller so it could fit in my pocket, but I guess thats why you pay hundreds more to get an elph. The photo quality is excellent however it declines when doing work to the photos on the computer. The movie function is AMAZING. The quality is excellent and it is like having a home movie camera! I sometimes have trouble taking the pictures when i have to hold the button down half way and wait for the camera to focus - it takes a few seconds and sometimes doesnt focus at all and wont let you take the picture. The only really bad part about the camera is that the batteries die VERY VERY VERY VERY quickly. Definitely invest in duracell stock when you purchase this camera or NEVER use the LCD screen! Overall the camera is GREAT and I love it. Hope this helped...Digital camera Review: Great Digital Camera For Beginner!!!
Summary: 5 Stars
This Canon PowerShot A300 3.2MP digital camera is great! For about $109 it is a bargain with 64MB of CF card. There may be no optical zoom lens but the digital zoom of 5.1x does a pretty good job. It may look de-pixilated at the zoom of 5.1x but when the pictures come out it is better looking with a bit blurry. There is a micro feature too that allow you to take picture of small stuff as close as 2 inch away.
Overall, I have it for about two weeks and I am pretty happy with it.
