We found the SD300's images to be very soft in the corners (Imaging Resource - 11/18/04)

The Canon PowerShot SD300's tiny body, great feature set, and excellent color impressed these reviewers, but they were dismayed to find that its images had noticeably soft corners. Other reviewers' test shots did not show this flaw however. read original review

Despite its flaws, I do like the SD300 -- quite a lot in fact (DC Resource - 11/18/04)

Despite a few image flaws that casual photographers will likely never notice, the Canon PowerShot SD300 gets high marks for both form and function from this professional reviewer. The movie mode is one of the best available, producing remarkably clear, high resolution videos. read original review
