I am currently very tempted by this -
I've been wanting a good compact for sometime. And it looks ace. its a bit old, so its cheap too!
Sure the king of compacts are the s95/s100, but the s100 cost about twice as much as the p300. p300 is £180, the s100 is £360ish
p300 -
lacks RAW (biggie i know), but the jpegs are v good.
has a 24mm f1.8 lens! (vs s100 24 f2)
full hd video and 720p @ 60fps (only the sony hx9v beats that, and the s100 only has high fps video at 640x480)
very good video quality (bout same as s100, if not better)
900k screen (s100 only has a 400k screen)
continous shutter of 7fps (vs s100's 2.3fps!)
3cm macro (same as s100)
slightly better battery life.
Very good stabilization (better than s100, hand holding 1/4 of a sec happily)Images are slightly better on s100 when pixel peeping, but at full screen its v hard to tell them apart. iso 1600 and 3200 are quite a bit better on s100 though.
Crazy good value for a compact camera if you dont need RAW. Sure i'd rather have the s100, its amazing, but I could have 2 p300's instead. One in each hand! Perhaps I'll later regret no RAW feature though...
Also the lx-5 and xz-1 are great, but quite chunky compared.
