About the Canon ELPH 300 HS (IXUS 220 HS)
The Canon ELPH 300 HS, called the IXUS 220 HS in other regions, was released in February 2011. It combines a 1/2.3-inch BSI-CMOS sensor of about 12 megapixels with a 5x optical zoom that begins at a useful 24 mm and ends at 120 mm. The aperture runs from F2.7 to F5.9, so the wide end is relatively bright for its class.
The body measures 92 x 56 x 20 mm and weighs about 141 g. A 2.7-inch monitor is used for composing and playback, and recording goes to SD, SDHC or SDXC cards. Power comes from an NB-4L lithium-ion battery. The 24 mm angle is wide enough for narrow interiors, tall buildings and group photos without stepping back, while 120 mm is enough for portraits. It is a compact built for people who care more about wide coverage than long reach.
Buying one used
The ELPH 300 HS uses an NB-4L lithium-ion battery; check that it holds a charge. Test the 5x lens motion, inspect the 2.7-inch monitor and the body edges for wear, and try an SD, SDHC or SDXC card.
