Of course, we all expect the products we buy to perform well and serve us throughout the years, but in reality consumer electronics malfunction all the time. We often buy consumer electronics or appliance products based solely on the name brand. This is because we either feel comfortable with the quality the manufacturer produces or we take comfort in knowing that in the event of a malfunction the manufacturer will stand by their product and make the necessary repairs. Most manufacturers written warranties offer fantastic parts and labor protection. However, the duration of this coverage under the written warranty is often far too short (e. g. 90 days parts or 1 year parts and labor). Manufacturers strategically limit their liabilities in order to cut down their final cost price and make their products more attractive to the marketplace. Let's face the facts. [+]
If you are like most of us, you are not expecting to buy a new Camera , Camcorder or any other major appliance every single year. You want to buy the new product and use it for as many years as it will last. There is only one way for a consumer to be certain that the product you are purchasing will be functioning to factory specifications in say 4 or 5 years from now. This Extended Service Plan offers you the identical high quality protection as the manufacturers written warranty did. This plan extends your coverage for up to 5 (five) full years after the manufacturers written warranty expires. |

- Model: Canon PowerShot A300 3.2MP Digital Camera with 5.1x Digital Zoom
Review Canon PowerShot A300 3.2MP Digital Camera with 5.1x Digital Zoom / Canon A300:The PowerShot A300 is an easy to use camera but is packed with Canon's advanced technology to give fantastic results. Its 3. 2 Megapixels allow photo prints to be made up to A4 size. Like every digital camera in the PowerShot range, the PowerShot A300 has a high-quality Canon lens. The high-performance DIGIC processor at the heart of this camera ensures true-to-life colors and enhanced performance, while iSAPS technology means quick and accurate focus and exposure. It offers a digital zoom of approx. 5. 1x and 5 point AiAF for perfect pictures every time. Shooting modes include full auto, manual mode that offers greater shooting control, and stitch assist to create stunning panoramas. There is even a movie mode, which allows movies to be captured for up to 3 minutes with sound recording and playback. [+]
Canon Direct Print allows connection straight to a Canon Bubble Jet direct or Card Photo Printer for photos without a PC in sight. For even more fun, the PowerShot A300 has the My Camera feature, which allows you to customize your camera just how you like, by choosing start-up sounds, images and operation sounds. The PowerShot A300 is ideal for people taking their first steps in digital photography. The Canon PowerShot A300 offers the entry level solution to digital camera users new to the field. Packed with a host of features and a 3. 2 mega pixel CCD sensor, this little camera produces great pictures. Like Olympus digital cameras, the camera is turned on via a sliding lens protector at the front that forces the camera into life. Two AA batteries and the CompactFlash compartment are housed behind a sturdy door that will easy take a beating over the lifespan of the camera without snapping or falling apart. The other side the camera offers a DC and USB port, but unfortunately no video-out to watch your pictures on the TV. On the rear of the camera, the user is offered a 1. 5" TFT screen that is sharp and responsive to changing lights and focuses, as well as, a host of buttons - most of which are self explanatory and you can easily access flash modes, picture review and other options like this without having to plough through plenty of menus. The camera offers a 33mm f3. 6 fixed focal length lens with a 5. 1 digital zoom option that offers the equivalent of a 33mm - 168mm lens in a 35mm camera. This combined with shutter speed range of 1-1/2000 sec and ISO ratings of 50 - 400 and a range of pre-programmed settings to cope with landscapes and portrait shooting makes for a nice little camera for beginners. For the more adventurous there is a macro mode up to 5cm, as well as, the option to record up to 3 minutes of movie clips with sound. For an auto focus fixed lens camera with a digital zoom the quality is quite good. Detail is captured well and greens are differential when it comes to photographing landscapes. The digital zoom is useful for getting into the action, but should not be replied upon for crisp images. Overall as a starter's camera this is an okay place to start. If you are starting out and need a camera that will get you going, this is as good a place as any to start, just don't expect the world. -Jason Denwood, Amazon. co. uk The PowerShot A300-replacing Canon's A200-is ideal for beginners in digital photography. Bumping up the megapixels from the previous model, the PowerShot A300 features a 3. 2-megapixel sensor that can capture images up to 2,048 x 1,536 pixels, producing print enlargements up to 11 by 14 inches. Stylishly designed with a silver body finish, the PowerShot A300 has a sliding lens cover and sleek, rounded corners. The PowerShot A300 is equipped with a 33mm f/3. 6 (35mm equivalent) moderate wide-angle lens, suitable for scenic views and group portraits, as well as general photography. A 5. 1x digital zoom facility enhances reach, creating an effective maximum zoom length of 168mm (35mm equivalent). The PowerShot A300 also features Canon's intelligent five-point focusing system-AiAF (Artificial intelligence Auto Focus). With AiAF, the subject is always in focus wherever they are in the frame. Simply point and shoot for great digital images. A 60-second voice memo can accompany each image captured, while the movie mode records clips of up to 3 minutes with sound. A special high-resolution movie mode is capable of recording 30 seconds of moving images in VGA resolution (640 x 480 pixels). Images and video are stored on CompactFlash memory cards (Type I only) and the included 16 MB card holds approximately 16 images at the Large/Fine setting. The PowerShot A300 is also directly connectable to optional Canon printers, such as bubble jet direct printers S830D and S530D and card photo printer CP-100.
