canon-powershot-digital-cameras Canon PowerShot A300 3.2MP Camera Review

I have been using this camere for almost 3 years. I am glad I have chosen this one.
Image quality is excellent if you are going to store images in your computer or print 4×6’s. I even printed 5×8s with no image degragation.

We put this one on heavy test. It fell on fresh snow and covered with snow till I pick it up but do damage occured. It also fell on a rocky pavement from at least a 3 feets. Nothing happened other than some scratches, thanks to metal casing.

I am looking forward to use this camera for years to come.

Help answer the question about Canon PowerShot A300 3.2MP Camera
Which camera is the winner?
Hi everyone. I couldn't do the Black Friday shopping - couldn't make myself stay up all night in front of Best Buy. Anyway, I want to buy a good camera. My budget is 300 dollars. I don't care if it looks chic, I want to take GOOD pictures with it. I don't want one of those digital cameras which flash and drain all the colours out of the picture. I had a canon powershot A300 (an oldie) and it was great! Canon PowerShot A300 3.2MP Camera Even when it flashes, it still retains some of the color. I loved that even with 3.5 megapixel it could take amazing photos like this : http://photos-b.ak.fbcdn.net/photos-ak-snc1/v370/56/80/507071739/n507071739_961330_4248.jpg If you have a powershot, what would you recommend? I've heard the SX120 is good but takes up too much battery power and can't shoot moving objects very well. And then there is SD990 IS, which is more digital (aiming for a high megapixel and chic look and, some say, overpriced). So to sum it up, chic design? Doesn't matter as long as it is not too bulky. A high megapixel? Not a concern. Battery life? A good one is preferred. Needs to take good, vivid pictures. Budget? $300 or less! If it's a contest between these two, which would you suggest? If you have other suggestions, you're most welcome to give them out too! Thank you.

i got this camera a few years ago because i really like how their is a lens cover, it had a pretty good price for its features and it had a movie mode but i used norecharable bateries when i first got it you have to get 2500nah batteries for best results i recomend this camera for kids because its durable cheap easy to use and it dosn’t have an optical zoom so the lens dosn’t pop out which makes it easy to break but i lost it a year and a half ago but now im geting the powershot 570is hopefully its good too i hope this was helpful

The Powershot A300 is a good beginner’s digital camera and the price is fairly decent. The actual picture quality is great in my opinion for a 3.2 mp camera. The build quality is also solid. I’ve owned this for three years and it still works like new. I would not claim to be a photographer or even a photo enthusiast, but I am definitely a gadget type of person. There are some decent features such as red eye reduction, landscape setting, ability to record short videos and 5.1 digital zoom.

The most substantial downside to the camera is the lack of physical zoom (i.e. telescoping lens). Because of this really any picture taken while in digital zoom is going to be pixelated. Secondly, pictures are difficult to recall. In order to get back to the taken picture you must cover the lens and then turn the camera off and then on again. Another problem is there are not many features to speak. However, considering the age of this camera I can’t really say it is a problem. For the average person this is a perfect camera. It is easy to use, has great picture quality and is fairly cheap.

I had this camera for a little over two years and it ate batteries like candy, had a confusing screen interface that malfunctioned frequently, then it just died, and was too expensive to fix. It wasn’t misused, and I have a bunch of other cameras, mostly 35mm, that I’ve used for 25 years or more without breakage, my first was a Canon AT1. But this camera was nothing short than disposable and disappointing. Too bad, I never would’ve expected that from Canon previously.

Butler December 14, 2009 at 3:43 pm

Have owned this camera for a few years. Never happy with image quality. Battery life is sucked dry very rapidly. Much better cameras out there I’m sure, even back then…

Corey December 14, 2009 at 4:54 pm

I had it for few years and worked great for what I paied for it. I bought the new Canon SD700 and very happy form Canon stuff.

Don’t expect $100.00 camera to do a $1000.00 camera’s Job!!!!

Ji December 14, 2009 at 5:22 pm

I’ve had this camera for at least 4 years. It has survived everything. It’s very durable and takes great pics. Even 8×10 prints are great and frame-worthy. The only downside is 3x optical zoom. I’d prefer much more zoom capability as digital zoom doesn’t cut it for faraway action shots. The camera is a bit heavy too compared to the newer cameras out there, but I’m going to hang onto this one til it quits.

Giorgio December 14, 2009 at 6:45 pm

No regrets. Great in every way. Sharp Pictures, fast, comfortable rechargeable battery system. Only advise: Get extra card. I am happy after having bought a 128 Kb. card. Very recommendable.

Allen December 14, 2009 at 7:48 pm

Everyone wrote enough about it, so I will only add that this camera worked much better than expected for quite a long time, until during last trip, I dropped it really hard on cement.
The shutter button came out, the case kind of split in half (could see the guts inside), and of course the door for the memory card broke and the battery came off… I just pushed the camera back together and it snapped in place (kind off, still see inside), put back the shutter button (without the spring that came off which I lost), scotch taped the memory card door, and the camera seemed to work fine. Actually we finished the vacation taking pictures with it for a few more days. No quality difference noticed between the picture from before the accident and after.
Now I am back, unfortunately it would be too expensive to fix it, so I guess will buy another ELPH, perhaps 3-4M pixels and if it will be anything like this one, I am sure I will not regret it.

I purchased the S330 a couple years ago, and I love it. I have taken it everywhere and taken almost 1,000 pics with it. I purchased the 128MB card and have yet to fill the card. I have not had any problems and it has been the best camera I’ve ever had. So much in fact, everyone who sees it wants one and is very impressed. I am now looking into getting one for my brother for Christmas.
