I just got this camera three days ago after the postal strike. It has been sitting in the post office for days. I finally took it to my Canada day photo trip/test.
Best compact camera I got so far. I have Panasonic LX1 (very noisy starting from ISO 200), Fujifilm F31 (slow but very well balanced camera) and F200 EXR (rate between the LX1 and F31).
For Canon Powershot 300 ELPH:
Video: Excellent in video quality. Absolutely comparable with my Panasonic HD camcorder. Now I don't have to bring both camera and camcorder for my trip since Powershot 300 video equipped with zoom function.
Day time photos: At auto mode, light detection is quiet accurate. The picture color is sharp, nice and bright.
Night time photos: All photos are usable even at low light situation.
Can be better if:
Canon do not put all the preset program functions into one;
reposition the flash light so that shadow wouldn't at the corner for some shots and
longer battery life

I didn't buy the Cannon ELPH 300H here but I wish I did cause I would've save $50. But, I just want to share with others that this is an excellent little pocket point and shoot and at a good price of $199. The photo quality is not what I'm used to with DSLR but overall this camera takes very very good photos. It is totally dummy proof. I love the HD video that it takes and very easy to down load to my Mac Air. The video is very sharp and if you get a 16GB class 6 memory card, you're set to take over 4000 photos and HD video to boot. I plan to carry this camera for my travel this year and I won't even need to carry a camcorder anymore.

This camera doesn't seem to have a good shooting mode for landscapes. I tried several different modes but it would always choose an aperture of f/2.7 with a fast shutter speed (giving me a shallow depth of field, not really what I want for a landscape). Even when I selected a higher ISO value, it kept selecting a faster shutter speed. There is an option for landscape focus mode. I think this just controls how far away the auto-focus is a allowed to focus. What I ended up having to do is zoom in to a point where the lens doesn't support such a wide aperture. But this required me to back up in order to frame my shot. What this camera really needs is aperture and shutter priority modes... or at the very least a decent landscape shooting mode. Then I think I would want to own it.
I should also mention that the zooming mechanism failed shortly after I received it. Perhaps there is a robustness issue with this camera... or perhaps I just got a dud.

Performed better than anticipated
This little Elph continues with the ease to use of all previous models of which I have three or four. What excels most is the HD 1080 video with stereo sound. Read more
