AWESOME outdoor picture quality, small, fast, easy to use. Good zoom for it''s size

Indoor pictures aren''t as nice as the outdoor. Only 2.1 Megapixel, no aperature control.

If this camera is on your ''list'' of possible buys, don''t hesitate, buy it. I debated for three weeks between this model, and the Nikon 775. I chose this camera for it''s quality construction and because of the rave reviews that were written about it. After owning it for over a month, I can happily say I made the right choice. The S300 is a great combination of size and features. It only has a 2.1 megapixel CCD, but really, do you need to print higher than 8 1/2 by 11? The camera is very intuitive, and packs an awesome array of features into the small stainless steel case. Definetly buy a larger flash card. With the 128 meg card I have, at the highest quality and resolution setting you can still fit 128 Pictures on the card (WOW!)

2.1 megapixels: I would have preferred at least 3 mp. Lacks manual mode, e.g. aperature control, although you can adjust exposure and white point. Battery is small and will require recharging more often -- Buy a second battery. Comes with 8 MB Compact flash -- buy at least 64. No raw mode, but JPEG''s look fantastic. Lacks large feature set found in larger camera.

I looked long and hard before I bought the S300. I have a Nikon N80 and love it but I wanted a small camera, pocket size, to take with me without lugging around a camera bag, keeping my hands free. That doesn''t leave alot. I narrowed it down to the Nikon 885 and Canon S300. I ruled out the S110; even though it was a bit smaller it didn''t have the 3x zoom. I eventually bought the S300 because of it''s great reviews, smaller size and fantastic construction, and $200 less vs the 885 (the 885 does not come with a rechargable battery and charger). The S300 is very solid feeling, excellent build quality, I repeat, excellent build quality, and has a very easy menu to learn and use. It''s basically point and shoot but has excellent logic with great photos. If you want great photos for the computer, internet or 5 x 7''s in a compact form, seriously consider this camera. I did see an 8 x 10 from the S300 and it looked very good.
