For this price, great quality. Horrible battery life.

Pros: ease of use, picture quality, lightweight
Cons: flash is extremely bright and slow, BATTERY LIFE, bulky, long lag between pictures. Worthless zoom.
I bought this camera because of the good reviews it has received and I'm not disappointed by the quality. However, I am extremely disappointed by the battery life and lag time between shots. Pros: I've taken hundreds of pictures with this camera. ...

A Wonderful Purchase!

by fallyn , Jan 14 '04
Pros: User friendly, Crisp, Clean Pictures, Great Price
Cons: Battery Longevity, Memory card is Kind of Small for some people(Holds about 20 pictures)
My husband and I purchased this camera probably about 6 months ago or so - and we are so happy that we did. This camera has been great for us. The price was very reasonable for a camera with more than 3 mega pixels. We bought this camera for ...

Great camera, but dont forget some NiMh batteries!

by greenglowz , May 31 '03
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")
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.

Great Camera for $150

by jesterrace , May 09 '04
Pros: Excellent picture quality, good video options, pretty comprehensive features.
Cons: A little lengthy on shutter lag, BATTERY CONSUMPTION!!!!!
Shop around as there is a wide variation on the price. It is an outstanding camera for $150 but I would never pay $200 or more for it like some places are charging. There are a number of other cameras in the 3.2MP range that are cheaper but I have read ...

Keywords: "For The Price", it's a great camera.

by AtlantaGreg Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 1000, May 13 '03
Pros: Good image quality. Superior movie clip mode. Compact.
Cons: Build quality poor. No optical zoom. Microphone on top of camera where your finger rests.
It's amazing how much prices have dropped on digital cameras over such a short time, and the A300 is a great example of progress (mostly). So what will $199.00 (US) get you these days? More...

WHAT IS IT?
