Elph 300 HD video test

Did a test run with the Canon Elph 300 which also shoots full HD video.

Please make sure to watch in 1080p for true HD quality. Put a waterproof casing on and mounting cup and you won't have to get a GoPro camera, which only shoots stills at 5 megapixels. Music composed on a iPad with Garage Band.

How big was the file for that video?

I just got the ELPH 300 yesterday but I have not purchased a memory card yet. I am not sure if I need a 16GB or whether 8GB will suffice.

I have been thinking about this camera. I cannot get past, no raw!

I have a 8GB card in the camera. All the footage I shot totaled 11GB. What I did find out was it uses a lot of battery power. I always have two batteries with all my cameras, thinking about buying a third for the Elph 300. Tomorrow I will do a test to see how long the batteries actually last using video only.

I see you own the Canon 7D and T1 that both shoot in RAW. For me the Elph 300 pocket camera is for family and when I don't want to get the 7D out. Peace

I shot 70 minutes of 1080p video on one battery. That was with a 760 mah battery. Ordered a 1400 mah so we will test that one later in the week.

Where did you get the 1400 battery? Is it the same size?

The only one I see for sale is the Canon 760 (for 40 bucks!)

Will try out max video later this week.

Video is better then the pictures.

I have this camera, i bought it partly because i was hoping that it would make good videos in dim light, it doesn't. It make sharp videos in daylight, so its's a shame. I am a bit angry on Canon for this:

I have also tried to reset the camera.

THanks for this video. I've really been considering it and am impressed with all it packs into the small housing. As to this video however, I take it this was filmed in 1080? That means 24 fps? Maybe its just me, but it almost looks like it is dropping frames. Am I seeing things?

Hi guys, this is my first post here. I own an Elph 300 (ixus 220 is what they call it here) and I`d like to know if the small rattling/ rubber streching sound it makes at maximum zoom while filming is normal or not. It only happens when filming, while taking photos all I can hear is regular zooming noise.
Yours does the same? Thanks.

I thought the same thing.
