It is an awesome camera!, April 7, 2011 – By H. Alsharif

I just bought this gem as a replacement of my trustworthy Canon SD400, which served me well for 4-5 years, and I felt I had to upgrade. This camera is wonderful, strongly built, attractive, shoots great pics and very very decent HD video (I am comparing to my HD camcorder HF20). You can shoot 1 hr of full (1080p) on a 16 GB SD card, 2hrs on a 32GB. Recording 720p (which is still super clear) gives you even more shooting time..

But of course this isn’t a camcorder although the above is a major plus. The still pics are really nice. I always opt for auto as I am still an amateur photographer.. The elph 300HS seems like it has a couple more extra specs , but for me they weren’t as important.

This is a solid point and shoot with a very attractive exterior and pricetag.. 5 stars from me!

Good but no Video zoom – Get the 300 HS, April 5, 2011 – By Tuan Thach

The product description for the Canon 100 HS and the 300 HS are very similar and it appears to be mostly just the wide angle and zoom. I compared the two cameras in the store and preferred the look and feel of the grey 100 HS. Only when I was testing the camera did I realize that the 100 HS does not allow you to zoom while shooting video. Another missing feature of the 100 HS is the smart auto scene detection is not active when shooting video. If you don’t care about video, save $50 on the 100 HS otherwise get the 300 HS. I exchanged mine and love the 300 HS.

Canon ELPH 100 HS — U R going to luv it, March 18, 2011 – By george bancks (ruston, la USA)

Just received my Canon ELPH 100 HS {orange} and I absolutely love it. The camera boots up almost instantly. Installed a 16GB SDHC class 10 card and now have 5000+ 12MB photo capacity or 60 minutes for HD video. The image stabilization at max digital zoom 4X4/16x works great! The camera easily fits in my pocket and is very light @ ~5 ounces.

The Canon’s Digic 4 processor & CMOS sensor make this camera truly point and shoot. By default it automatically selects the light level, shaking, target focus, shutter speed, flash/noflash and ISO to pick the optimal scene type. Perfect pictures virtually every time when button is correctly pressed 1/2 way (1) before fully in (2) for photo shot. But be sure to get a class 10 card for the best video.

The only 2 minor problems I believe are:

1) It comes with a 700 mAh 3.7 Volt battery instead of the 1400 mAh 3.7 OEM version which doubles it run-time for 230 photos to almost 500 pictures per charge. This is easily fixed when ordering additional batteries just get the larger mAh capacity ones.

2) The CameraWindow transfer software doesn’t automatically delete pictures after they are transferred. Some people like this as not to delete photos improperly transferred.(I do not). Some camera blogs suggest a quick format after transfer is the way to quickly delete photos/video after successful transfer.

However, this is the best point and shoot camera I have used and I still think it’s a 5 star camera @ $199 MSRP.
