Great for the money!!! [Posted on 2007-01-03]
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!!!!
just OK [Posted on 2007-02-07]
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...
Simple Camera, Good Quality [Posted on 2007-07-23]
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.
fun starter camera back then [Posted on 2007-08-28]
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
Totally disappointed with this camera [Posted on 2008-02-18]
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.
