Pros Very fast, ultra compact, 4 megapixels, user friendly, ISO 50, tough Stainless Steel Body

A Step In The Right Direction: Canon SD 300

byyakkowarner Nov 28, 2004

Pros Small design, easy to use.
Cons Not manually controllable, not as good as film.
Recommended it? Yes

Pros Like the great Nikon D80 but incrementally better in many areas.
Cons Video mode is a little buggy and requires manual focus.
Recommended it? Yes

UPDATE 11/26/2009: I've owned this camera for over a year now, and I can only say that I'm still thrilled by it.
