Steve's Conclusion Canon's new Powershot A300 is an excellent choice for those desiring an easy to use and compact size 3.2 megapixel camera. But don't let the size fool you, the A300 has a robust DIGIC image processor, excellent flash output and control, a 1.5-inch color LCD that is highly readable
The Nikon Coolpix A300 packs a long zoom lens into a slim, affordable camera with wireless connectivity, but its image and video quality disappoint.
Pre-PMA 2003, 14:00 GMT: Canon has today announced the new PowerShot A300. This new three megapixel fixed lens digital camera is the sucessor to Canon's current entry level A100. The A300 introduces several new features including five point AiAF, image voice memos, movie clips of up to 3 minutes (including sound), an orientation sensor, the new DiGiC processor and an expanded sensitivity range of ISO 50 to 400. An impressive specification for Canon's entry level digital camera. List price: $299 / €279.
