It offers a digital zoom of approx. 5.1x and 5 point AiAF for perfect pictures every time.Shooting modes include full auto, manual mode that offers greater shooting control, and stitch assist to create stunning panoramas. There is even a movie mode, which allows movies to be captured for up to 3 minutes with sound recording and playback.

Amazon.com Review

The Canon PowerShot A300 offers the entry level solution to digital camera users new to the field. Packed with a host of features and a 3.2 mega pixel CCD sensor, this little camera produces great pictures.

Like Olympus digital cameras, the camera is turned on via a sliding lens protector at the front that forces the camera into life. Two AA batteries and the CompactFlash compartment are housed behind a sturdy door that will easy take a beating over the lifespan of the camera without snapping or falling apart. The other side the camera offers a DC and USB port, but unfortunately no video-out to watch your pictures on the TV.

On the rear of the camera, the user is offered a 1.5" TFT screen that is sharp and responsive to changing lights and focuses, as well as, a host of buttons - most of which are self explanatory and you can easily access flash modes, picture review and other options like this without having to plough through plenty of menus.

The camera offers a 33mm f3.6 fixed focal length lens with a 5.1 digital zoom option that offers the equivalent of a 33mm - 168mm lens in a 35mm camera. This combined with shutter speed range of 1-1/2000 sec and ISO ratings of 50 - 400 and a range of pre-programmed settings to cope with landscapes and portrait shooting makes for a nice little camera for beginners. For the more adventurous there is a macro mode up to 5cm, as well as, the option to record up to 3 minutes of movie clips with sound.

For an auto focus fixed lens camera with a digital zoom the quality is quite good. Detail is captured well and greens are differential when it comes to photographing landscapes. The digital zoom is useful for getting into the action, but should not be replied upon for crisp images. Overall as a starter's camera this is an okay place to start. If you are starting out and need a camera that will get you going, this is as good a place as any to start, just don't expect the world. --Jason Denwood, Amazon.co.uk

Amazon.com Product Description

The PowerShot A300--replacing Canon's A200--is ideal for beginners in digital photography. Bumping up the megapixels from the previous model, the PowerShot A300 features a 3.2-megapixel sensor that can capture images up to 2,048 x 1,536 pixels, producing print enlargements up to 11 by 14 inches. Stylishly designed with a silver body finish, the PowerShot A300 has a sliding lens cover and sleek, rounded corners.

The PowerShot A300 is equipped with a 33mm f/3.6 (35mm equivalent) moderate wide-angle lens, suitable for scenic views and group portraits, as well as general photography. A 5.1x digital zoom facility enhances reach, creating an effective maximum zoom length of 168mm (35mm equivalent).

The PowerShot A300 also features Canon's intelligent five-point focusing system--AiAF (Artificial intelligence Auto Focus). With AiAF, the subject is always in focus wherever they are in the frame. Simply point and shoot for great digital images.

A 60-second voice memo can accompany each image captured, while the movie mode records clips of up to 3 minutes with sound. A special high-resolution movie mode is capable of recording 30 seconds of moving images in VGA resolution (640 x 480 pixels). Images and video are stored on CompactFlash memory cards (Type I only) and the included 16 MB card holds approximately 16 images at the Large/Fine setting.

The PowerShot A300 is also directly connectable to optional Canon printers, such as bubble jet direct printers S830D and S530D and card photo printer CP-100. You can print a photo in just over 80 seconds by simply connecting the digital camera to the direct printer by means of a dedicated cable and selecting an image.

The camera is powered by two AA batteries (alkalines included; rechargeable NiMH batteries recommended). It measures 4.4 by 2.3 by 1.4 inches and weighs 6.2 ounces (without batteries). This package includes the PowerShot A300 digital camera, 16 MB CompactFlash card, two AA batteries, USB cable, wrist strap, and ArcSoft Camera Suite CD-ROM and USB drivers for Windows and Mac.

fun starter camera back then.......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

Simple Camera, Good Quality .......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.

just OK.......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...

Great for the money!!!.......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!!!!

Please don't buy this!!!!.......2006-09-02

It might take ok pictures, it might be an entry level camera, but..IT'S CUMBERSOME TO USE AND THE BATTERIES DON'T LAST MORE THAN 15 MINUTES. PLEASE, DON'T BUY THIS PRODUCT....AVOID IT LIKE THE PLAGUE!!!!!!

Pretty good.......2004-09-03

I use this MP3 player to run or in the gym. I did some research and there are actually not that many options for a sport, 256 MB player. I liked this one in the store and after using it, this is what I think...

The good:
* Nicely designed
* Arm band is adjustable and comfortable
* Price -Not really expensive
* Equalizer -5 pre set options + custom
* Easy to use
* Easy to download music (or files) to the player

The bad:
* Construction quality is not outstanding
* Sound could be better

And worst of all...:
* Battery duration - a rechargable only lasts 6 hours
* Sport headphones are REALLY tight and NOT adjustable

All in all I think it's the best option out there and good value for money...

Customer Reviews:

Worked perfectly.......2007-04-17

This was advertized as a 2X DVD-RW and it was. It worked perfectly with my Sylvania DVR90DEA DVD Recorder.

2x VS 4x.......2006-01-10

It is extremely important that you know exactly what type of DVD-RW's you're buying - this listing should be more specific. I was just given a Samsung VHS / DVD Recorder and it lists very, very specific DVD's that the unit accepts (IE: It takes Sony DVD-R 4x, but it won't take a Sony DVD-RW!) AND... It only accepts 2x DVD-RW's! I made four trips back and forth to Staples just to find out they didn't have the specific brand name that I needed & I eventually found the Maxell DVD-RW 2x @ a not so local Sears Electronic store. Read your directions closely.

Best for DVD Recorders.......2005-09-29

I just got me a Toshiba recorder and is very picky on the kind of media you use in it. It doesn't like verbatins or sonys which are very good (except for this type of recorder). So if you are looking for a good media for your recorder, this is one you can use.

why my previou reviews for this product are not posted???.......2005-04-08

why doesn't the speed of the DVD-RW state on the description??
Remind you that it is "2x write speed". (4x write speed would be better)

Nice Addition for Die Hard NFL Fans.......2005-07-07

These are simply wonderful controllers; from the feel of the controller in your hands to the great logos of your favorite teams. The extra long cable and added vibration are appreciated features. Mad Catz has moved the Start, Select and Mode buttons to the top and bottom of the controller. The Start and Select buttons are located between the shoulder buttons while the Mode button is directly opposite on the bottom. The D-Pad can be a little sensitive but nothing you can't get used to. Again, a good feeling quality controller. For all of us NFL junkies who are proud to show our teams colors, well worth the extra buck or two. For the casual fan it's just a controller and might not be worth the extra investment.
