A pretty decent camera even after 2 years..........2007-06-21

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 $400 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.

I Love(d) This Camera.......2007-04-10

I bought this camera in Oct 2005. I brought it everywhere. Loved it. In April 2006, the LCD screen blew. Canon replaced it with a refurbished camera. In March 2007, the exact same thing happened to the screen and now they will only repair for $97.00, as they have determined this is the result of impact damage. How they determine this is unclear to me, as it was not dropped or impacted...Apparently, you will spend 100.00/yr maintaining this camera. That, to me, is the hallmark of a faulty product. Unfortunate - as I really loved this camera.

amazing camera!.......2007-01-15

I got this camera about 2 years ago because my sd 200 broke. It is soooo easy to use and takes great pictures. Its also very sleek and small.

An excellent buy!!.......2006-12-21

I bought this last year ago after my wife raved about hers. It has lived up to the Canon name and takes excellent pictures. I haven't taken the time yet to figure it all out but even the movie option is great. I love the camera and the low price I paid.

Fragile.......2006-12-14

I bought the sd300 to take with me touring by motorcycle. It is so small, I can just put it in a belt case and always have it. With the appropriate sd card I can take a huge number of pictures at a high quality setting. The pictures turn out great, BUT. Eight months after I bought it, the LCD screen suddenly went all crazed when turned on, tho there was no visible damage. I returned it for repair, no problem, no expense, had it back in two weeks. less than 3 months later, same thing. I know I did not drop or bump it, it went down in the 10 minutes between showing some pictures to one person, then to another, indoors. I called, was told it was still
under warranty from the previous repair, and got a return label. Then I got an e-mail saying that I would have to pay $97 for repairs to the lcd screen caused by impact damage. I replied to the e-mail to protest, and was ignored. I finaly called, and was told that tho the warranty was still in force, this damage was not covered. Checking aroun the web, I found that this is a common problem, not damage. Unfortunately, I had already authorized the repair when I found this out, so I guess I am stuck. I have several canon products, will not buy any more.
