Review: I wanted a low cost digital camera to take travelling with me and after much research I bought the A300. The outstanding features of this camera are: - Excellent image quality - High quality (up to 640 x 480) videos with audio (which I use a lot) - Easy to use (just point and click in auto mode) - Excellent photo browsing and movie playback (with audio playback) on the unit - Uses AA batteries so if you have no access to a charger, you can stick in some alkalines. - Good battery life (although flash reduces this quickly) - Uses cheap compact-flash memory (get a 128Mb card or larger) - Low price - Robust (mine's been knocked around and it still works fine) The slighty dodgy features are: - It's necessary to install the provided software to connect the camera to a PC so get a USB card reader if you intend to download images at Internet cafes - No optical zoom (digital zoom is pants in my opinion) - Slightly bulky but still possible to squeeze in your pocket on a night out Overall the camera exceeded my expectations and I'm very happy with my purchase. If you're looking for a low budget, high quality, easy to use digital camera (and you're not bothered about optical zoom) then I highly recommend this camera. |
