Canon PowerShot ELPH 300 HS Point-and-Shoot Camera Review

The Canon PowerShot ELPH 300 HS is one of the best selling digital cameras right now – period. It’s selling more than digital SLRs or even fancier high-end point-and-shoot digital cameras. That’s because it offers a combination of simple usability, great 12-megapixel image quality, HD video and Canon’s HS system for better low light photos. It doesn’t hurt that it’s also a very good-looking and truly pocket-sized camera. It also happens to be a great deal right now. With the current Canon rebate you can have the Canon PowerShot ELPH 300 HS for under $200!

    Happy to help siphon some money out of your wallet and stimulate the economy, Thien! :-)

    How on earth could you guys not include the Canon SX230HS with a 14x zoom, image stabilization, HD video with mini HDMI out, and many more great features all for under $200 street price. Your overall selection is pretty lame considering the truly fabulous cameras out there. A few of your selections are just plain pathetic. Who is paying you off??

    I can’t help laughing a bit at your comment, Ollie. Diplomacy is not one of your skills, I guess. Still, thanks for the comment and thanks for mentioning the Canon PowerShot SX230 HS, which I actually own. And I agree with you – it is an awesome camera. That’s why I bought it. Pocket superzooms like the SX230 HS are actually my favorite kind of compact camera. I have been pushing them hard outside of this guide (my pocket superzoom camera guide) and I was disappointed I didn’t get to include one in this list. I did try to explain how I made my choices in the introduction. I only chose ten cameras and I based them on what was popular on the site and what is selling well on Amazon. No matter how I make a top cameras list I’m going to leave something out and someone is going to think its lame. That’s why I encouraged our readers – and you – to post their picks in the comments. That way you get to voice your opinion, tell me I’m lame and tell people what camera you think is best. So thanks for your contribution. And no – no one is paying us off :-)
