Got One
Recently, I had been looking for a new Point & Shoot camera and thought the Canon Powershot ELPH 300 HS (also known as the IXUS 220 HS) fit my needs. A few days ago I went down to Henry's Camera store in Toronto and picked one one. This will mainly be my wife's camera, but I am sure I will make use of it when I get around to shooting some more timelapse's with CHDK or when I have had enough of carrying my SLR and lenses around all day.
Reasons why?
The reasons I chose this camera are:
- 24mm (35mm equivalent fl) lens, which makes it wider than most P&S cameras
- A CMOS sensor for low light performance (this is new sensor technology because this model was released in March 2011)
- Full HD video @ 1080p and HD @ 720p, as well as lower quality modes
- Very small, easier to carry around
- Canon, so it is compatible with CHDK
So there it is, my new camera, and why I chose it. Hopefully this will help you make a decision if you are considering a camera similar to the ELPH 300 HS (IXUS 220 HS).
