 Great Camera | |
| I am giving this five stars because I cant give 4.5. I had the camera for about a month and the screen became bluishly hued. I guess the Lcd might have cracked. I sent it to Canon and got it repaired for free. For a very compact camera,, it takes really good pictures. The manual mode with a good adjustment is adequate. The pictures are a little on the soft side. Night pictures are decent, but the camera really shines on cloudy days. The flash is okay for the most part. 4MP suprisingly takes really good pictures, I was skeptic gettig this camera because of the resolution, but it does look amazing. I love the macro mode a lot. The camera itself is sexy, on par with my ipod. It's light in the pocket but feels substantial when held. You wont appreciate the size until you hold it. It fits you pockets easily. If you want the best in ultracompact/best picture quality, you cant go wrong with the Canon SD series | |
 Nice feel, average camera | |
| I recently purchased the SD300 and have not been overly pleased with it. I am a confessed shutter bug so my quality standards are somewhat higher than most. Here are the things I like about the camera:
1) Nice look and feel - metal outside and nice weight 2) Compact size - one of the smallest with zoom and the feature set 3) Separate battery charger is very small and easy to take with you. 4) Uses standard USB cable to transfer directly from camera to computer Things I don't like: 1) Pictures are definitely on the soft side 2) Very hard to get a decent picture in moderately low light without the flash. I suppose it is using a very slow shuttle speed. 3) I would like a battery meter instead of indication your battery is almost dead and last but not least and the reason I returned it 4) the LCD is basically unprotected and since it is very large, I felt I would break it like many other reviewer's have. I frankly do not believe the LCD breaks by itself, but since there is no protection on it, simply grabbing it a little hard seems like it could damage the display. I want to thank all the previous reviewers that made me aware of this issue. There are many other cameras that have unprotected LCD's too, not just Cannon's. However, there are also many that protect them with a plastic or glass cover. I'm trading the SD300 in for the Casio Z55 which is the same size, lighter in weight, 5 Megapixels and equivalent functionality. The jury is still out the picture quality of the Z55. | |
| No excuse not to bring camera | |
| I am pleasantly surprised by how small it is. It is about the size of a deck of cards. But the best of all is that it does everything I want and more.
Great - Very Sharp and rich pictures as well as video - Great real time video in a small package - I don't bring my camcorder anymore! - Fast focusing - no delay - Fast processing and saving to memory Not so great - Metal body is slippery - use wrist strap at all times - Software menu to adjust manual setting - Battery life is short (about 100 shots) especailly when using flash and shooting video This camera is for my wife and she loves it. I can't wait for a prosumer version for myself! | |
