Make sure you get insurance as the camera will die!

I think the Canon A1300 is a great little camera so why only 1 star? Since it most likely won't work, make sure you also pay for the $20 two-year collision damage waiver, and be careful if it's the only camera you're taking to a special event! Below is a copy/paste of my updated review of two previous Canon models that didn't work for me. The only reason I bought another Canon camera was that in this camera size it was the only model I could find with a VIEWFINDER which I consider essentialโ€ฆ

A1300 - good value for money: digital cameras

Before I bought the Canon A1300, I did a lot of shopping. I weighed the value of using a pair of AA cells versus a separate power supply. I enabled the use of rechargeable batteries - pre-charged cells with a long shelf life. Since this is a mobile camera, it should be ready to use at all times. AA batteries are great for this. And this is the camera our 10 year old will be using and he doesn't know how to charge his electronic gizmos so the AA capability is a plus. I also like the opticalโ€ฆ

Pros
  • digital SLR cameras
Cons
  • very expensive

Canon again, with (of course) an optical viewfinder

Background: We've had a Canon A20 with great 2 megapixels for 10 years (smiles). One was stolen in airport luggage (my stupidity for packing it). Luckily I was able to buy a replacement A20 on e-bay. We have been very satisfied with this for about 10 years. We can say that this A20 was bulletproof. Fast forward to 2012. My husband wanted a small and light camera - no problem. But I wanted an optical viewfinder - a BIG problem; hardly anyone else makes them. Thanks to Canon for providing thisโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Camera and photo
Cons
  • Out of fashion
