Review: Canon PowerShot ELPH 300 HS

After seeing many other YouTubers on the web shoot their videos with this Canon PowerShot ELPH 300 HS, I knew it was time to upgrade from my Kodak Zi8.  The Kodak Zi8 was a great camera for its time but I was well outdated and needed an upgrade of video quality.  After doing some research and asking for advice, I settled on the Canon PowerShot ELPH 300 HS.

If you are looking to start doing YouTube videos and have a tight budget, the Canon PowerShot ELPH 300 HS is for you.  With a price point of under $200, you're basically stealing this camera for it's video quality.  It's an amazing bang for your buck.  You get stellar video quality in 1080p or 720p.  Either way you look at it, you still have HD and it looks absolutely amazing for such a small device.  This camera truly is perfect for anyone with YouTube in mind.

Don't keep still pictures out of your mind.  This powerful Canon PowerShot ELPH 300 HS has some amazing potential to capture some great looking photographs.  You take all your pictures in either widescreen or normal.  I'm going to step out on a limb and say this camera is just a step below DSLR quality.

At such a low price tag with such high quality, this camera will probably be the best in its class.  What are your thoughts on the Canon PowerShot ELPH 300 HS?  Leave your thoughts in the comments.
