Editorial note

The Canon EOS C300 stands out for its exceptional image quality, thanks to its 9.84 MP CMOS sensor that provides precise details and true-to-life colors. Its modern design and lightweight of 1430 g make this camera portable, ideal for outdoor shooting.

Furthermore, while the maximum video resolution of 1920 x 1080 pixels is satisfactory, it will not meet the expectations of users looking for 4K quality or higher. Finally, the limitations in terms of connectivity, particularly the absence of USB ports and PictBridge functionality, may disappoint some users who wish for direct transfer or printing of their photos. In summary, the Canon EOS C300 offers excellent performance and many useful features, but it is important to consider its limitations before making a purchase.
