Canon IXUS 300 HS review

 

Canon's latest Ixus camera is somewhat confusingly named. The HS doesn't stand for either ‘high speed' or ‘high sensitivity', yet the device does support high-speed video and has a high-sensitivity lens for taking photos in very low light.

Great in low-light conditions

Slow focus; too bright flash

Whatever you may think of this camera the first impression you get when you handle it is "cool", design wise Canon have sunk their venerable knowledge of building highly appealing ultra-compact cameras into the IXUS 300, it's stainless steel body, that...
