Available on Amazon for $165.95 here.

Incredibly Thin. Incredibly Powerful.
Canon PowerShot ELPH 300 HS 12.1 MP Digital Camera delivers brilliant still images, ultra-detailed 1080p Full HD video, serious functionality, and a wealth of effects and automatic settings.  A 24mm ultra wide-angle lens with a powerful 5x optical zoom gives you the versatility to shoot in any number of situations, and the optical image stabilizer keeps things from getting too shaky when you're zoomed in tight.  Whether you're out partying or just walking around town, you don't need to sacrifice style for power--the PowerShot ELPH 300 HS has got you covered for capturing great photos effortlessly.

No More Dark Photos
Canon's HS SYSTEM improves shooting in low-light situations without the need for a flash, and lowers noise levels at higher ISO settings.

A PowerShot that Keeps Up with the Action
Sometimes, the action just won't stop for you. The PowerShot ELPH 300 HS comes equipped with a High-Speed Burst Mode that can capture eight frames per second.  Just hold down the shutter button and catch rapid-fire action sequences--perfect for sporting events!  Putting together a video containing highlights from family vacations, important occasions and other special events is now easier than you might imagine.  Using the Movie Digest Mode, you can have the camera automatically record a short video clip (up to approximately 4 seconds) every time you shoot a still image.  The camera will then combine an entire day's worth of clips into a single video.  No editing required--Movie Digest Mode does all the work, so you can sit back and enjoy your video!

Let's take a look at all of the camera features.

• World's thinnest digital camera with a 24mm ultra Wide-Angle lens and 5x Optical Zoom and Optical Image Stabilizer.
• Canon's HS SYSTEM with a 12.1 MP CMOS and DIGIC 4 Image Processor improves shooting in low-light situations without the need for a flash
• Full 1080p HD Video for exceptional quality with stereo sound, plus a dedicated movie button for easy access.
• Get high-speed shooting in a point-and-shoot camera: High-speed Burst Mode captures 8.0fps and
• Smart AUTO intelligently selects the proper settings for the camera based on 32 predefined shooting situations.
• Super Slow Motion Movie records video at high speeds to allow slow motion playback.
• Zoom optically while shooting video and keep footage stabilized with Dynamic IS.
• And lowers noise levels at higher ISO settings.

Overall, for the price that they charge for these, you will find no better camera.  Let me show you what current owners have to say about it.

J. Gebauer,
I'm a DSLR photographer who shoots professionally and has managed a camera store in the past. I wanted something I can take with me everywhere but still produces good quality shots. I also wanted a camera that could shoot good looking videos. I researched several models and after much deliberation decided on the Canon 300 HS. I'm very happy I did.
