Canon's New SD300 Digital Elph More than the sum of its parts?

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 »

Nikon D5100 SLR digital camera 16 MP: A great SLR camera for the money

byyakkowarner Aug 29, 2011
61 Helpfuls 62 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros Interchangeable lens, easy to use, lots of features, takes movies and photos, works ...
Cons Price, only 16 mega-pixels, no internal motor, only one control wheel instead of 2.
Recommended it? Yes

This is a 16 mega pixel SLR camera. You have the option to change lens, customize many setting, and you get higher quality pictures as an end product. It is also a faster camera than most point and shoot’s available. I do not have the lag between pressing the picture button and the camera... Read full review »

Best bang for the buck in APS-C DSLR cameras

byaloofyouth Dec 19, 2011
23 Helpfuls 24 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros Best bang for the buck DSLR camera in its price/size bracket
Cons Flash lacks commander mode capability
Recommended it? Yes

My user experiences are marked in italics.

The Nikon D5100 is a DSLR camera ("digital single lens reflex" so what you see through the optical viewfinder or on the LCD screen is what you get in the photo; you are literally seeing through the lens, so there is no parallax error). I bought it... Read full review »
