Great Price Canon SD300 Digital ELPH for $349.95
Canon Powershot SD300 4MP Digital Elph Camera with 3x Optical Zoom Review
The Canon Powershot SD300 is, even after 2 years, a heavenly product that I have yet to regret purchasing.
For one thing, my LCD never cracked. However, and this is entirely my fault, over the years, I haven’t always used the best protection that I could have for my camera, thus resulting in some obvious LCD scratches. But I put that blame on myself, not the product itself.
This camera has definitely taken some sharp, vivid, and beautiful pictures over the years. Even my professional photography family members acclaim some of my pictures. And here you thought it was JUST a snapshot camera…
The compact size is great, and I always continue to find amusing places where this camera can fit: jean pockets, cell phone cases, my polo shirt’s little itsy bitsy pocket, …
The thing that bugs the heck out of me is that, right after I had bought this, like a month or two later, newer and supposedly better models of the PowerShot line started coming out. I bought this baby for 0 dollars, so you imagine my dismay. Regardless, I’m not feeling regretful all too much because this is quite the well-made product.
The one con (of the very few) that I can think of about this product is that, over time, my camera (when the lens would retract itself) a noise that I’m sure didn’t appear before now does. I don’t know if it’s the product, or if it was just those times that I brought this baby to the beach only to have sand kick at it, but yeah, just an observation.
Oh yeah, I also find myself charging the battery for this camera MUCH more often now. I don’t know if age, wear and tear, or whatever has to do with anything, but charging this camera before some event is a MUST for me. Always.
But, in conclusion, it’s a great camera and I’m truly surprised to see this older model of Canon PowerShot have such great (overrall) ratings considering the newer, edgier, and cooler models now and days.
I think I’ll be sticking with this camera for awhile, maybe wait for Canon to come up with something new(er) in their PowerShot line or whatever.

Customer Reviews
the little camera that could – C. Alarcon – Vancouver, BC, CAN
First, I guess I’m not surprised that it has been more than 1 ½ years since the last review entry for this camera; it has been around for quite a long time and, honestly, nobody would like to buy a brand new 4 MP camera, when today’s entry level is 8 or 10 MP. However, if anybody is interested in a good, reliable, used camera, this is the one for you. I’ve had it for 4 years now, and just recently the original battery started showing its age (i.e., the charge doesn’t last too long). Good features, small (pocket) size, good stabiliser for shaky hands and enough resolution to get 5 x 7 copies decent enough to print and frame (does anyone still do that with all the available digital frames?). Cons, it does not work well under dark or poor light, zoom is not very powerful, you need a tripod when using digital zoom in order to get a stable picture. That’s it, folks. Just please don’t buy it new at the 9 price, this ain’t no collectible camera.
Very Simple – an honest reviewer –
I like the simplicity of it.
There are simple icons allowing some versatility.
However,the camera under poor lighting conditions doesn’t operate so well, so I rated it with 4 stars rather than 5.
It is easy to use though and a good basic everyday camera.

My wife loves her little camera and I like the fast response I received from shipper. Very satisfied with service provided. The camera was well packed and protecetd from damage in mailing.
Digital Camera – G. Lewis – Maryland, MD USA
I purchased this camera about two-three years ago. It’s my first digital camera. It’s easy to operate, small enough to fit in my pocket and or purse. The viewing window is big enough for me. Easy to download pics to my computer. This camera is capturing many memories for me. I’m enjoying this camera and would purchase another from Canon.
I recommend you buy another battery so when vacationing and or on outings, you’ll have another on hand. As you know, the battery always gets low during inconvenient time(s). There have been many times, it’s given out but luckily my backup battery is always on hand.
