Good news today! Finally, I bought a new camera :D after 2 months of making tipid! wew. So, I bought a digi cam not that expensive though, I can't afford to buy a much expensive camera because I am only a student who's allowance is just limited and I only get extra money whenever I have clients to serve. I bought CANON Powershot A2300. (black with free cam bag and mini tripod, bought it for 5,995 Php) It was the cheapest digi cam in the store but, as they say quite a good camera to work on. Great for sharing pictures online and very user friendly.
So, here's a review about the cam. I only got this online, I haven't used the camera that long so I cannot make a good review about it, plus I'm not a pro on checking gadgets, that is why I copied the best review I read on the net and I am going to share it here, also this is encase I want to know more something about this cam (future references) so I won't bother searching the net anymore. :)
Yipe!, i can finally give you guys HD coverage of all the things I wanna share to you guys, so stay super tuned! :)
Canon PowerShot A2300 Digital Camera Review

Canon PowerShot A2300 Features
The A2300 has a 16 megapixel sensor and 5x optical zoom lens, which is a 35mm equivalent of 28-140mm. It has Digital Image Stabilisation (IS) in order to combat camera shake to ensure photos and videos are as sharp as possible.
For the novice photographer there is Smart Auto which chooses the correct scene from 32 variables and adjusts the camera settings automatically. If you get stuck at any time there is a help button which gives guidance on using your camera and its different functions.
There are a number of creative modes such as Fish-eye effect, Super Vivid, Poster, Toy Camera, Miniature and Monochrome. Live View Control allows you to experiment with picture settings like brightness and colour intensity, then preview the results while framing. Face Detection Technology detects up to 35 faces in a single frame making sure they remain in focus with optimum brightness. Face Detection White Balance ensures natural skin tones even in unusual lighting conditions with Auto Red-Eye Correction eliminating red-eye.
The A2300 records videos at 720p HD which also has Image Stabilisation.

Lens Performance - Images are fairly well detailed, but there's not enough if you want really impressive large prints. With the impressive colour reproduction the images are great if you like to share them on the web on your favourite social networking site. Macros are fairly good, particularly as the lens has a minimum focusing distance of 3cm.
Canon PowerShot A2300 Verdict
The A2300 is an easy to use, pocketable camera available in a range of good colours. Images produced have excellent colour reproduction which will look great when sharing them on sites like Facebook. Detail isn't good enough for large prints, but there are a number of creative modes available to help you take unique pictures. The camera is also easy to use, with built-in help guides if you do get stuck.Canon PowerShot A2300 Pros
