Digital camera reviews of Canon PowerShot A300 3.2MP Digital Camera with 5.1x Digital Zoom
Digital camera Review: Great Entry Camera
Summary: 5 Stars
I bought this camera as a spare for taking pictures while on vacation. It is nothing like my 10D or Pro 1, but I only paid $150 for the A300. The pictures are very decent, and much better then most, if not all cameras in this price range and class. Simple to use, readily availble AA batteries, and it shares the same Compact Flash cards with my other cameras.Digital camera Review: Great For It's Price
Summary: 5 Stars
I'll admit there are better cameras than this, but only if you're willing to spend an arm and a leg for one. I've had this camera for around 3 or 4 months now, and it's been great. the photo quality is excellent unless you need to zoom, then it's only so-so. one thing that's overlooked on most cameras is the flash, which is hardly rated at all and hard to really find out about. this one works pretty well for short to medium range pictures, but doesnt fare so well at the long range. on the battery issue, i've actually had no problems with it and even though i use it more it tends to outlast my cd player. i use rayovak rechargeables in mine and take a lot of pictures (i filled up the 16mb card it comes with with the low rez pictures with no problem) if you dont use rechargeables, you should always carry some extras with you, you'll need them quite a bit. it's actually pretty easy to figure out once you get used to it, though at first it can be slightly annoying. the lcd screen is a rather nice feature on this one and works a lot better at aiming your shot than the viewfinder is. the videos you can take with it are alright, if you're wanting to make videos though this isnt the one for it, but a nice feature none-the-less. all in all, a great camera for me. not professional quality or anything, but still great, especially for the price. if you print out photos with it those look quite well too. my only complaint about this camera are the slow loading time (after you take a picture it takes it a moment until you can take another) other than that, i wouldnt change a thing about it.Digital camera Review: Great camera

This camera takes beautiful pictures for use on the web. Printed versions are not nearly the quality as those you take with a regular film camera, but that's a given. We like the fact that this camera has video, but the video quality is nothing compared to the photo quality so I consider just a bonus to have that feature. If you want good video, I wouldn't get this camera. It's been well worth the money, and while some reviews I read while researching this camera said it sucked up batteries, I haven't experienced that. I use the monster rechargeable batteries and they last quite a while.Digital camera Review: Great camera for beginners
Summary: 4 Stars
This little camera is a great camera for someone who is new to photography. The settings that this little things has is wonderful. You can either run on autopilot and have it do the work for you or you can set the manual settings to your little hearts content. There are a few fun settings that you can add the background startup photo to one that you have taken or you can add your own sound tot he startup as well. The only downside that I found with this camera is that it is a little fragile and if you drop it you better pray that you can pick i up in one peice. The pictures I took with this are awesome and pleased me until I moved onto bigger and better things, I highly recommend this camera to anyone who would like a cheap camera that has excellent results.Digital camera Review: Great camera, excellent for the price
Summary: 4 Stars
I bought this camera for 200 bucks and can say that I am quite satisfied, and somewhat surprised at the quality. The pictures are great - the camera is 3.2 megapixels and it really does make a difference! The pictures come out so clear and bright! The camera has a good zoom on it, and is very easy to use. After a couple of hours of fidgeting around with it, I pretty much had all the basics and then some down. It was easy to set up the software in my computer - took about ten minutes. The only problems that I have with this camera are: 1. the battery life is short - but battery life is short on all digital cameras, so I guess compared to others this one isn't bad. 2.) If the lighting is not great, there will be a long delay before the picture takes. doesn't seem like that big of a deal but it can get annoying. 3.) I can only download the pics from my camera onto my computer once at a time. If I want to empty out som e more onto my computer later, I have to shut down the whole computer and start it back up again in order to download more pictures. But, that's the only qualms I have. So, considering that I only paid 200 bucks, I am very, very happy with this camera.
