Great stills & video

Love the video. Wide angle doesn't need focusing if "auto focus lock" is set to about 5'. Video frame capture makes very good 4x6 & 5x7 prints. Excellent corner sharpness for a super wide lens. Very Good low light performance. I print mostly 8x10 stills and they are outstanding. Love the depth of focus compared to a DSLR.

Great little camera

This is a great little camera. I have the red one. I use it for video and for photos. My last camera was the canon SD780IS and it served me well. I upgraded to this one because it shoots in FULL 1080 HD video. It has a nice wide angle lens. It is really good in low lighting & it shoots 12 mp photos and it can shoot in macro with photos and video. It is very small and lightweight. I LOVE this camera

Red Canon Camera

I bought this camera especially for my trip to Europe and it has been very nice. It stands out, comes with a great little case, and takes pictures in full HD. The only real negative I've noticed is the lack of hand grips, so it's best to hold it with two hands rather than one when taking pictures.

Great little camera

Great little P&S camera. Small enough to fit in a pocket, but feels sturdy. Takes good snaps of the kids.

Lots of power in a small package

Camera has lots of options but using the auto settings make it easy to use even for a new user. Looking forward to exploring all of the options.

Simple camera produces high-quality pics

This camera is perfect for my 70 year old mother--it's stylish and small, takes great photos, and absolutely couldn't be simpler to use

Fine camera for it's niche.

Used a learning and fun tool by a 12 year old. The small size is ideal as a first point and shoot for a youngster. Also fine in those occasions for others when a DSLR is too much. The HD video is a good add in since this is much of the appeal of the camera. Minor shutter lag as expected from this type of camera. The placement of the flash is such that even the small fingers of a kid will occasionally cover it.

Great compact with wide angle lens

Love the wide angle lens for getting everything needed in the picture when shooting in smaller rooms. Works better in low light than any camera we've had previously

FANTASTIC quality......100% satisfied

I purchased the Canon ELPH 300HS kit as a gift for christmas. It was an incredible value and the quality of the photos (and video) captured is amazing. The colors are so true and the image is crystal clear.

Powerful little devil!

It is an overall great compact camera, with very clear pictures, and awesome zoom. I received this one for a gift, but grandma has the same camera and I wanted it because of all of the above.

Light and nifty - great to carry around

I was scouting around for a camera to carry around all the time, for those get-togethers or simply to click something I liked. This little fellow suit my purpose. I bought it not only because it suited my budget, it also had above-average reviews on the internet. And now, I've fallen in love it. Not only does it feel and look great, it also takes great photos under low-light conditions. Operation is as simple as it gets. The zoom is a bit on the lower side, but I didn't need much of that for this camera. For a better zoom on the same model, you can try ELPH 310 HS. I already own a high spec Canon for taking around when travelling. This time, all I wanted was a kind of point and shoot city camera. And it's perfectly fitted into that role! :)

Everything I expected and more

We plan on taking it with us on our travels. It is small enough to fit in a pocket or purse yet packs a big punch.

While digital cameras offer the potential to bring back better pictures more easily, I find many aspiring photographers are overwhelmed and confused by the technology and abundant options for shooting.
