Canon Powershot A1300

Looking at the features on offer, apart from the viewfinder the Canon Powershot A1300 does not really stand out from the crowd. Where it is strong is when it comes to the quality of the pictures it takes. So if you are looking for a reliable picture...

The sole design of the Canon PowerShot A1300 is that it's a very easy camera to use. From the large buttons to the point and shoot simplicity. In fact, add the optical viewfinder and it would be easy to believe that this is a camera designed for the...

Canon A1300

This AA-powered ultracompact is priced to sell, but cost-cutting measures limit performance.

Inexpensive; Outstanding color accuracy

Poor image quality overall; Slow continuous shooting

For those who absolutely must own a AA-powered camera, you could do worse than the Canon PowerShot A1300. We like the small optical viewfinder, especially how it actually magnifies along with optical zoom. The oversized battery compartment has the side...

Canon PowerShot A1300

Small and light enough for my pocket and a small handbag. It does all I ask of it, but does not replace my 2 expensive (but heavy) Olympus cameras. A nice little back up and quick snap camera.

It is light on battery use, but its a shame that I have to carry a bunch of penlight batteries.

Canon PowerShot A1300

Compact, and easy to use

Images are awful. Not at all sharp, and lots of image noise. The camera was bough to replace a 5 year old camera, but the picture quality is worse. I expected better from Canon.
