The sleek and small Canon PowerShot Elph 300 HS, with features slightly above entry level with a price to match, is a solid point-and-shoot digital camera.

Angle

The 300 HS packs a lot of features into a small body, with solid performance on all fronts and specs a step above many entry-level pocket cameras.

The 300 HS is the very definition of pocket-friendly. At 2.2 by 3.6 by 0.8 inches (HWD) and weighing only 4.3 ounces, you'll hardly even notice it in your pocket.

It's available in red, black, and silver, and to the eye looks almost exactly like its younger brother, the Elph 100 HS.

The lens, the 300's primary upgrade from the cheaper 100 HS, has a focal length of 24-120mm (35mm equivalent), with corresponding aperture of f/2.7-f/5.9; it's both brighter than average and wider than average.

Back

The PowerShot Elph 300 HS scored an average of 1,861 lines per picture height, a solid sharpness score especially for a compact camera.

If you're looking for a small, fast camera that takes pictures suitable for Facebook and the like, the Canon PowerShot Elph 300 HS is an excellent choice.
