So what makes the IXUS 300 HS stand out? For one, this is the first in its family to carry the f/2.0 large aperture for extraordinary low light performance for a compact camera. The model also spots the title HS which stands for High Sensitivity to perfectly capture life like images. Another highlight is its High Speed for continuous shooting capabilities.

Incorporating 10-megapixel CMOS (back-illuminated) sensor and DIGIC 4 Imaging Processor, this new high sensitivity camera is able to counter negative effects of camera shake and minimise blurring, to offer unprecedented imaging quality in demanding lighting situations, even when handheld. Now capturing subject, ambiance and mood of a scene without flash is just a breeze.

That’s not all, the IXUS 300 HS is also the first IXUS digital camera capable of high-speed shooting – able to achieve 8.4 shots per second in High-Speed Burst mode. This comes extremely handy when you need to document split-second sequences like sports (golf strokes, swimming movements, etc.) without missing a moment.

 As for video capture, this camera is capable of shooting 240 frames per second and then playback in Super Slow Motion at 30 frames per second. Equipped with a 3-inch, 16:9 widescreen LCD, viewing images and videos that you have captured can be done comfortably.

If you’re a photographer who appreciates a point-and-shoot camera, the IXUS 300 HS can become one too. Its manual options like Av (aperture-priority) and Tv (shutter priority) shooting modes can offer you unlimited selections to create an effect to your liking.
