Cons
Con Low quality picture
The 640 x 480 resolution produces a low-quality picture. Pretty much the only review for this projector is the original document from Canon, so there is no objective information available about the picture quality. They did state a contrast ratio of 800:1, which falls far behind the best portable options.
Con Low lamp-life
Though it's 10,000 hours, portable projectors usually reach 20,000-30,000 hours. Projector lamps lose brightness over time, so you might actually have to replace the lamp and the replacement is probably not available.
Con Poor colors
This is not the best pick for playing video content due to its poor colors. P300 is meant for presenting slides.
Con Noisy fans
The fan on AAXA P300 is rather loud, it's comparable to an overheating laptop.
