Canon PowerShot ELPH 300 HS 12.1-megapixel PowerShot digital camera

Don't be fooled

Sure, the Canon PowerShot ELPH 300 HS looks super-slim. But that doesn't mean it isn't powerful. In fact, this 12.1-megapixel digital camera has quite a few cool features. For starters, this chic device features a 24mm lens with 5x optical zoom for superior shooting. Better yet, an optical image stabilizer and ISO up to 3200 ensure that your shots always come out cleanly, even if your hand isn't the steadiest. Hi-speed burst shoots up to 8 images per second so you're sure to capture the pivotal moment of action. You can easily line up your shot with the 2.7" LCD screen. But while capturing photos is the primary purpose of this PowerShot, that certainly isn't all it's capable of. Despite its diminutive appearance, the ELPH 300 HS can record video up to Full HD 1080p. Plus, it has a Super Slow Motion movie mode designed to let you play back action in slow-mo — perfect for analyzing your swing. Finally, ensuring shooting is easy, Canon has equipped the PowerShot ELPH 300 HS with a variety of automatic and scene modes, plus fun picture effect, but if you feel like taking control of your shot, a Program AE mode is happy to oblige. This camera is proof that good things come in small packages.
