Summary: You Get What You Pay For...and You Should Pay More...
Review: Camera feels [sub-standard], has a flimsy mechanics, eats batteries all day long. I put in the original batteries and the camera lasted for exactly two (2!!) pictures. Replaced the batteries and upon using the LCD screen the camera IMMEDIATELY told me the batteries were low. (Hadn't so much as TRIED to take a picture!) Subsequent batteries lasted a bit longer, but buy this camera WITH a MONSTER pack of NiMH batts. Photos are fine, features are NOT easy to figure, there's nothing intuitive about the menu. In short, buy an Olympus, this camera was intended to replace the same and except for it's ability to shoot movies, it doesn't.

Summary: Good
Review: Good for the money. Need to use rechargeble batteries, so far with 40 pic taken with flash without changing batteries.Don't use alkaline, they'll be out with just a few shots.Print-outs are better in its original states than edited in photo deluxe.

Summary: Worth every penny
Review: The alkaline AA that came with the package lasted a few hours for me (several photos, a few videos). Then I bought some MAHA Powerex NiMH rechargable batteries and they last me 3 occasions spanning more than a week even after taking a lot of pictures and nearly an hour of video. I also use a Viking 256MB CF Card, and I don't have to worry about storage. It stores more than 150 photos at the higest resolution, and I could take a lot a lot of videos without having to worry about space. The video quality is superb. Pictures are a bit tricky; you have to hold it a bit longer to capture the image properly, plus you get blurs at the edges, but it's barely noticable at the highest resolution and almost undetectable for amateurs like me. ...

Summary: Mediocre at best
Review: I bought a Canon A300 to replace a lost Sony. I found the camera to be adequate except for two things: Battery life and delay upon hitting the photo button. Simply stated, the same type of batteries that last 18 hours in my mp3 player last 5 minutes in this camera. Battery life was consistent over several sets of batteries. Secondly, this camera is completely inadequate for taking pictures of small children because the children will have moved by the time the picture is processed. While the camera takes adequate pictures, I would not recommend it.

Summary: Great Bang For Your Buck
Review: After comparison shopping other digital cameras in a $100 to $300 range I decided to go with the Canon A300. I've had two different digital cameras since my first in 1996... this is simply amazing technology for the relatively small price. It's fairly easy to use and light and small enough to fit into a front pocket even. It takes wonderful pictures and I'm looking forward to using the mini movie with sound function to help sell art I create. I don't recommend products lightly but if you're on a low budget and you want or need a great digital camera... this is one with wonderful "bang for your buck" plus with a name like Canon.. you know you're getting quality to boot.

Summary: energy consuming
Review: this is a nice camera. But it is too energy-consuming. With the 2 AA batteries in the package, I shot only 2 pictures and played with some functions,say,replay,delete,setup.I don't know why it is like this.In other words, if you want to shoot 10 pictures,you gotta have at least 6 AA batteries!!! suggestion: buy an AC adapter,and batt charger.

Summary: "You can't beat the price, megapixels, and name!"
Review: Here it is in a nutshell. I bought this camera for photos of my students' activities at school, and trusted the Canon name to give me more than my money's worth in a [$...] camera. The positives are:
1. It's [relatively inexpensive], 3.2 megapixels, and it IS a Canon!
2. It has a focus assist light, which helps in low light.
3. It's simple to use, though with many advanced features such as white balance adjustments, manual exposure, sound effects, etc.
4. It takes really good photos (excellent color saturation).
5. It takes two AA batteries with pretty good battery life.
6. It's small enough to slip in a pocket!
7. It uses inexpensive compact flash memory.
8. It's easy to transfer to your computer via USB cable and Canon software. The negatives:
1. Onlydigital zoom--very handy, but degrades quality.
2. Flash is only average.
3. If you do any cropping or enlarging, quality degrades quickly.
4. Not attractive, but is sturdy (I've dropped it a few times!) I like this camera--there's not much NOT to like. It does not have the enduring 'draw' of the Nikon 2500/3500 (see my review), but it has many more features, and the pedigree of the legendary G3, and S-50 Canon cameras. If you want just a basic, compact, point & shoot digital camera that's [relatively inexpensive] for a 3 megapixel unit, this one is THE one. As a bonus, you find it offers a whole lot more under that generic, unspectacular appearance!

Summary: Great Entry Camera
Review: I bought this camera as a spare for taking pictures while on vacation. It is nothing like my 10D or Pro 1, but I only paid $150 for the A300. The pictures are very decent, and much better then most, if not all cameras in this price range and class. Simple to use, readily availble AA batteries, and it shares the same Compact Flash cards with my other cameras.
