byHoward_Creech Dec 1, 2004
108 Helpfuls 109 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros Very fast, ultra compact, 4 megapixels, user friendly, ISO 50, tough Stainless Steel Body
Cons Weak flash, tiny battery, red-eye, chromatic aberration, noisy ISO 400 images
Recommended it? Yes

The SD300 (Digital Ixus 40 in Europe and IXY DIGITAL 50 in Japan) is the second digicam (the SD200 was the first) to feature Canon's new second-generation DIGIC II processor. DIGIC Processors (Digital Imaging Integrated Circuit) combine image processing and most primary camera functions in one chip... Read full review »

A Step In The Right Direction: Canon SD 300

byyakkowarner Nov 28, 2004
57 Helpfuls 58 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros Small design, easy to use.
Cons Not manually controllable, not as good as film.
Recommended it? Yes

I am absolutely amazed at how far digital cameras have gone. I really did not think they would be as small as they are, as cheap, or as easy to use. Definitely ahead of my pessimistic predictions. Yet, they are still not as good as an SLR film camera. So if you are looking for quality or you want... Read full review »

Pros Easy interface, beautiful renderings, fully customizable. 
Cons Could use more zoom, but different lenses can be purchased for distant shots.  
Recommended it? Yes

I recently purchased the Canon REBEL T2i / EOS for a family vacation to niagara falls.  I have never owned a professional camera beforehand so I figured it would be difficult to learn but it was really simple.  Beautiful pictures, ample shot settings, and quick changing to different style...

12 Helpfuls 13 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros Many different shooting modes<br>Lovely contrast<br>Simple to master
Cons The camera cannot be set down without tipping forward, hard for self-timer.
Recommended it? Yes

I got this product as a gift and could not be happier with it.  I have been taking photography classes in school and became very interested in it, so I decided that I wanted a digital camera as well as a film camera.  I originally thought that it would never stand up to film, but so far...
