canon p&amp;s 300 or 4500 elph? Which should I get, the Canon Power Shot ELPH 300 or the Canon Power Shot ELPH 4500?

I bought the 300 last May and have been very pleased with it. It's very small and light, can fit in the smallest pocket. I'm a lazy photographer these days and only use the auto/program mode. Zoom and close-ups are nice, and it takes excellent shots in low light without using the flash. Best of all, I dropped it on a concrete sidewalk, banged a good chunk of paint off but it still works fine! But before I knew it would be OK, I knew I'd buy another because I liked it so much. Can't compare it to the 4500. Be aware that it doesn't come with a picture card, you have to buy that separately. Some reviewers downgrade it for this, but that's how they keep the camera price down, it's not the camera's fault. ETA: You also don't get an instruction guide; only a CD that you can print out. This DOES bother me, but the basic mode of the camera is so easy to use that it hasn't been an issue.

The Canon PowerShot ELPH 330S won't fit - I could cram it in but it was very tight and the case wouldn't snap - the 500HS is slightly bigger, so the I would not expect it to fit either

The Nikon Coolpix p500 also has impressive zoom, 35x, the burst shooting works differently, but that might not be an issue for you. At $349, it's running about $50 less than the Canon sx40 right now.

I was in the same dilemma when these two products were announced. In the end I bought both and tried out... and finally returned the 4500 and kept the S95. I really liked the better PQ, wider lens, more powerful flash, and better low light performance of S95 over 4500.

It was a OK camera, however the E500 is a better one. I upgraded my to E510 the semi-professional and still have it and have not changed it for the purposes. However, if you want a beginners SLR then get the E300.

I bought the E510 with the two lenses here on Amazon about 4 months ago after doing a lot of research. I chose the Oly because it did, indeed, come out as the best entry level dslr for the money. Most 'bang for your buck' so to speak. No buyer's remorse here...I couldn't be happier with it.

we have the hs30exr and are very pleased. the 720 mm manual zoom is terrific, battery life great and up to 11 frames /sec is good for shooting action shots. i don't think the cool pix offers these features.

We can't comment on the reviews but the 340HS is only slightly better rated on snapsort.com:http://snapsort.com/compare/Canon-ELPH-330-HS-vs-Canon-PowerShot-ELPH-340-HS

I have this kind of issue, but with my SX130 in macro mode. At first I thought it was the lighting, but I took an identical picture, identical position, settings, etc. with my Elph 300 HS, and no such problem. The 300 has actually been fantastic for me, images are much sharper and colors more vivid than the 130 even though I set them to identical settings. Thinking of trading the 130 in for either the Elph 500 or the SX230 - I want a P&S (want something more portable than my DSLR) with shutter and aperture controls with same (or better) image quality as the Elph 300 (and less than $300). Now just have to test both of them out first.

I agree with xapshot; No difference in quality or functionality of the two. Only two different marketing areas that Canon feels should kept apart. Concerning warranty I don't know the difference. I find it sensible to agree again with xapshot on that matter as well :)

Hi, if the camera's manual, accessories, does not list the RC-5, then it will most likely will not work with the Elph 300 HS. You may want to contact Canon and ask about wireless control accessories. I hope this is helpful.

Hi Thomas, if you can compare the dimensions of your camera to that of the Canon S110 and if yours is same or smaller. Or take chance & get a refund if it doesn't fit. The Elph usually is a bit bulkier than the S110. There are other Canon leather case that can fit your camera too.

This month, Amazon started sales of The Powershot Elph 110 HS which has all the best features of both The Elph 100 HS and 300 HS.

At $399, the E-PL1 is one of the best buys around. I shoot Nikon full frame cameras and I carry an E-PL1 with me when I need to go light. I've never been disappointed with the quality from the Oly so long as I recognize its limitations. It isn't a DSLR and never will be, but it produces imagery far better than any of the Point and Shoots I've owned, including the coveted Panasonic LX-5 (Leica DeLux D-5)/

I would suggest getting the 35mm because it's going to be a lot more useful for 99% of your shooting situations. Unless you really need to get up close to a subject, like during a football game, the 35mm is the best choice. It's excellent in low light, great for portraits, and really really fast. It's an excellent buy, you won't be disappointed. If you're still uneasy, go to a store to try it out. I went to B & H to try it out, where I made my final decision.It all really comes down to putting each in your hand and trying them out to see which one will suit you better. Good luck!
