I gave this camera to the group of kids I work with and they take turns using it. It is simple to use and has great quality.

I use this camera all the time. I use it mainly to take pictures of my kids and pets. I really like this camera and have no complaints.

I bought this camera for my husband after purchasing one for myself. We were on vacation in Yellowstone and I took a lot of videos which were incredible both for sound and quality. Also, the small size makes this perfect for traveling.

Noisy low light photos, but your going to get that with any camera under $ Great video, great image quality, very easy to use "auto" setting. And if you want to go full manual - this camera allows you to do that too. Like the "textured" surface! First camera I received drained the battery within 3 days (without it even being on..), Adorama replaced it and the new one is good - so watch for that - it might be a common problem.

great camera for going out with friends. i first bought the panasonic FH5 for this purpose, however the images were never very sharp. bought this camera and it's much better, great sharp photos. only thing bad is the skin tones can sometimes be a little too red.

I bought this to replace a SD1100IS that I dropped on vacation, and before that camera I was very happy with my Canon A95 Powershot. This camera however seemed less. The pictures have a cartoon color to them and the features are severely limited when using the underwater case. I wished I hadn't rushed to replace my smaller camera, (I use a Nikon D200 for most serious shots) but based on my history with the powershots I felt safe. I now use this for times when I don't really care about images or having to pay attention to where I leave my camera. (Think parties, BBQs etc) I purchased a Nikon point and shoot that I am really happy with. The video on the Canon is OK, I was just disappointed that the image quality has gone down so much. The A95 at 5 mega pixels took crisper shots.

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.
Don't let the PowerShot ELPH 300 HS (5095B001) digital camera's slim profile fool you. This fashionable device will not only make you stand out from the crowd, but it'll also deliver incredibly brilliant still images and amazing 1080p HD videos. Once you turn on the camera, be prepared to be amazed at how much is packed into one of the slimmest point-and-shoot digital cameras on the market! So let your imagination run free and let the HS system, 24mm 5x Optical Zoom and 12.1 Megapixels help you achieve great images everywhere.
