Pros: Amazing image quality, Movies w/sound, Small - Easy to carry, Easy to use
Cons: Auto focus is slow, VERY short battery life with alkaline batteries, flimsy construction (feels "plastick-y")
The Bottom Line: This camera doesnt cost a lot, and it works. Remember to buy some NiMh batteries, and you'll be fine.

| greenglowz's Full Review: Canon PowerShot A300 Digital Camera |
This camera packs a lot of punch for the price. It shoots amazingly high quality pictures, even though it only costs around $200. The interface is pretty intuitive and easy to learn, and the camera itself is small and easy to carry.
Some problems though are the fact that there is no optical zoom, and digital zoom is pretty much useless... And the battery life is AMAZINGLY short with alkaline batteries. LITTERALLY, you can take about 6 pictures with alkaline batteries before they are dry. But with NiMh batteries it will last longer, and, if you use the viewfinder instead of the LCD then the batteries last a long time.
So as long as you use the view finder, and you dont need a camera with a good zoom lens, this is a wonderful camera. Oh! And don't forget to buy some NiMh batteries!
