The Canon PowerShot SD960 IS Digital ELPH Camera has 12.1-megapixel resolution gives cutting-edge link to the outstanding clarity and quality you've always wanted in your images.

The PowerShot SD960 IS Digital ELPH is equipped with Canon's acclaimed Optical Image Stabilizer Technology that automatically detects and corrects camera shake - one of the leading causes of fuzzy or blurred shots. Even when zoomed in, you can get the steady, crisp, brilliant images you'll be proud to shoot and share.The PowerShot SD960 IS Digital ELPH gives you a large and wide 2.8-inch LCD screen for excellent control when framing your shots.

Editorial Review :

The PowerShot S300 is Canon's long-awaited follow-up to the wildly popular S100. Not content to rest on their laurels, Canon has spent the time to address some of the shortcomings in the original Digital Elph camera.

The biggest new feature is the 3x optical zoom. While only a small step up from the original 2x, the new zoom requires a slightly enlarged body. Also added is a movie mode. The new movie mode allows up to 30 seconds of footage to be recorded at a resolution of 160 x 120. You can also record at 320 x 240 or 640 x 480 resolution, but the recording time shortens correspondingly.

The diminutive 1.5-inch color LCD screen remains small. However, the control scheme is slightly modified to incorporate the camera's new capabilities--a wheel now controls the camera mode and has a power button in its center. The S300 includes several white-balance presets, exposure compensation of +/- 2 EV in 1/3 EV increments, and a black-and-white mode. Essentially, the S300 is a classy digital point-and-shoot with enough features and control for most hobbyists.

Great camera, easy to use!

This camera is great! It is compact and easy to use. It has a rechargeable battery which lasts quite a while on a charge too. Takes about an hour to recharge. Doesn't have a battery meter though, only tells you when you are just about to run out. All in all a great camera, perfect to throw in your pocket on the go!

Easy to use --- even for an imbecile like me!

(This would have been a 5-star review, except for one detail we'll get to later.) On the whole, this is an amazing camera -- it's small, easy to use and the buttons are intuitive -- you won't need to sit there days on end trying to figure out which button does what.

Let me get this point across: the photos are crisp. Absolutely, crisp. You don't even need to use the highest setting for crisp, clean photos that are 100% true-to-life.

What really convinced me that I had a great camera was the consistent brightness of an LCD screen. When you're taking a picture, you want to be able to look into that little TV screen and see exactly how your pictures will look once you press that button. If the screen is dark, you generally can't adjust it using the "brightness" button; that just washes out the colors in the image. (Same thing with your computer -- when you significantly adjust the brightness, you're basically just fading out the colors.) I can be in any light with this camera, and I know I'll be able to see what I'm taking a photo of.

As I previously stated, this would be a five-star camera, except ... one detail. Uploading pictures has been a total pain for me. I could never properly install the software that came with this camera! I'm an avid computer user and I generally know what I'm doing, but for some reason this software drove me (and my computer!) nuts. (FYI, it's a Pentium 4 machine, loaded with Windows 2000 Pro.)

I've been using Photoshop 6.0 to upload my photos, but this is slow, and I lose the original date/time when the photo was taken. AAAAARGH.

Still, I'm very happy with the camera -- it's worth it to have your photos digitally stored for a lifetime. The picture quality is incredible and the camera is easy to use -- don't worry if you blow your budget purchasing this, you'll be glad you did later.

Great work horse before you reach for your slr.

Good camera, easy to use, handy. Limited flash, and don't try to use an aux flash. The unit flashes 2x, to determine the correct exposure, thus firing an aux flash, and when the exposure flash is firing, the aux isn't. Anyone found a solution?

Still The Best!!!

Just had to give kudos to this awesome camera. Mine has been through hell (always near saltwater-oceanfront) since 2001, and it still works excellent.

One weird thing...the video will only shoot for a few seconds...anyone else experience this late in the cameras life?

Returns are problematic

I bought this camera for my daughter in Ireland and brought it to her there. It was damaged out of the box and she shipped it back to Ace Photo two weeks ago. We have not heard from them and attempts to reach them by phone about it get lost in the numbers game "press one for orders, press two for government orders, press three for marsupials" and so on. Only finally to get transfered to a message informing me they closed at 3pm on Fridays -- it was 2:30. I have not given up yet but it is leaving a bad taste in my mouth.

Great first (serious) camera for kids!

I bought this for my 10 year old son for Christmas. He loves it and it takes beautiful pictures. Perfect for e-mailing or printing out. The camera is very easy to use and has a beautiful look.
