Canon PowerShot ELPH 300 HS Color Correction Demo

The 1080p video footage from the Canon PowerShot ELPH 300HS is beautiful. But can it stand up to Final Cut Pro X's three-way color correction? In this video, I demonstrate how professional the 300 HS footage can look when color graded.



I was happy to find that the color correction in this video added a very interesting "film look" in some of the shots. As you can see in the final shot, the Canon PowerShot ELPH 300 HS even shoots wonderfully in low light situations. All in all, if you know how to use your editing program, you can easily get professional looking color grading from the Canon PowerShot ELPH 300 HS's 1080p video footage.

Audio Test: Zoom H1 vs Blue Snowflake vs Canon ELPH 300HS

With my recent purchase of the Zoom H1, I was personally curious as to how it stacked up compared to my old microphone, the Blue Snowflake. While doing the audio test, I figured it would be helpful to you 300HS owners to compare that internal microphone as well. What do you think?



Obviously, the Zoom H1 wins this microphone showdown with the Blue Snowflake coming in at second place. The Canon Powershot ELPH 300HS dose have surprisingly good audio quality for the price of the camera, however. With a little audio editing in iMovie, GarageBand or Final Cut, you could get some surprising results from that tiny little camera!
