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...

Optical viewfinder; Built-in help guide; Available in a good range of colours; Good creative modes; Images have really good colour reproduction; Easy to use

Canon PowerShot A1300

I needed a replacement for my 6 year old Canon point & shoot so this was perfect. Canon rules and Nikon drools.

Got it on sale. It's a good camera for simple photography, but still cannot beat a good DSLR. Also, it's a Canon

Didn't come with a case like Canon cameras used to, cheapskates

Cannon 1300

I recently purchased this Cannon 1300 in black, you can't find any silver ones. The camera is smaller than I expected it appears like their older models that you can grip on the side, but it's not applicable. The view finder as well was why I went with...
