A friend asked me for a recommendation for a point and shoot around $300. Previously I would have said S120, but it seems like that line is dead for buying new units, but the replacements like the G9 X are $429. There seems to be a gap at around $300, there are models ~$200 and >$400 but it's hard finding quality options at around $300.

Are any of the regular Powershot lineup any good?

I'm also open to considering other brands if anybody has any recommendations.

If you’re in a hurry and just want to find out what the best camera under $300 is, then I’d recommend the Panasonic Lumix FZ80 as the best one!

When you’re looking for a camera under the $300 price point there is a lot to choose from and a huge variety in the features that each camera offers.

One of the most important things to ask yourself when looking at this price point is do you need a camera?

The reason I bring this up is that most modern-day smartphones will give you better photo and video quality than these cameras. Modern-day smartphones have the same sensor size, have equal or better photo resolution, and usually give you more advanced video features.
