The Canon Powershot A3300 IS Digital Camera (Black) is a great combination of superb image quality and easy-to-use creative features. High resolution of 16.0 megapixels, a 5x 28-140mm (35mm equivalent) wide-angle zoom lens, plus a 3.0" LCD monitor for composing and viewing photos and video put this camera in a class by itself.

Gorgeous 720p HD video is built-in and easy to use. Sensitivity up to 6400 ISO, built-in image stabilization and a Low Light mode will make blurry pictures a thing of the past. No fuss, no muss Smart Auto mode programs the optimal settings for common shooting situations, and Creative Filters make creativity easy with Fisheye, Miniature, Toy Camera, Monochrome, Super Vivid and Poster effects for more high-impact images.

Smile Detection mode recognizes and captures your subject's smile. A Discreet Mode disables the sound, flash and AF beam to let you take photos in quiet areas without disturbing anyone. For super dramatic close-up photos, the Macro mode lets you focus as close as 1.8". And all of this is powered by a rechargeable NB-8L battery pack that gives you approximately 230 shots per charge.

Shoot without Distractions
How many times have you found yourself in a situation where you wanted to take a picture, but were reluctant (or simply not allowed) to disrupt the setting with noise or flash? New Discreet Mode makes picture-taking possible in museums, at performances, anywhere light and sound would not be welcome. Simply turn the mode dial to Discreet, and the camera's sound, flash and AF assist beam will be disabled - without changing any other settings. If the camera senses low light, ISO speed will be automatically raised to get the best possible shot. You can even switch to playback mode to review still images or video, and the camera will remain muted.
Photographic Artistry That's Easy for Anyone.
Creative Filters Mode gives you lots of fun, easy ways to make your photography more creative. The camera does all the work - you simply choose an effect and shoot! Fisheye Effect imparts a fun, familiar curvilinear distortion to your image that's ideal for kids and pets. Miniature Effect plays with perspective, giving any shot the look of a world created in much smaller proportions - great for landscapes and city shots. When you shoot in Toy Camera Effect, you get the vintage effect of a first-generation camera, ideal for giving portraits a slightly distorted, unevenly saturated look of a picture you'd come across in your attic. Monochrome lends a moody beauty to your photography, producing shots in Black & White, Sepia or Blue. Super Vivid saturates colors to heighten the intensity and impact of any shot. Poster Effect takes away transitions between objects in the frame to give your image the high-impact look of a hand-painted poster.
See the Image on a Big Screen
The PowerShot A3300 IS's large 3.0" LCD screen gives you the big picture, whether you're shooting, reviewing or showing off your images. This high-resolution screen offers a crisp, clear and bright picture. It also features Night Display for easy viewing in low light.

I bought this camera because I feel that I am missing some photo opportunities due to the fact that my Canon 5D Mark II is cumbersome and not so fast to get out of the case.

I have not shot much with it as of yet but the little that I have, I am satisfied with the image quality. I was delighted to find out that I can actually set the ISO where I want it instead of it giving me just an auto ISO. Just for the record; don't go higher than ISO 200 if you want noise-free images when viewing at 100%.

The only thing so far that I am not so crazy about is that I would like to look through the lens, not the screen, but yes, the camera is compact and I guess you just can't fit everything in it.

All in all, if you are looking for a compact camera that does it all, this seems like a pretty good pick.

Not the fastest, but a decent P and S

I wanted a camera to carry with me everywhere to capture quick moments without carrying my SLR. I'm disappointed with the speed, but am happy with the portability.

Comments about Canon Powershot A3300 IS Digital Camera (Black):

I use the camera for casual picture taking mostly, although I do also like to have high quality pictures when taking pictures. I got this camera on sale for [$] and for the money, it seems to be worth it. The lag time between photos is an issue. I purchased a higher quality SD card to avoid this, but it didn't seem to help much. And maybe I have to learn how to use it better, but I find that sometimes I will push and push and push on the shutter and for whatever reason it doesn't want to take the picture. This has been frustrating, but again, I may have more to learn about the camera. The movies are HD, provided you are out in full daylight. Otherwise, you can expect indoor videos to be as grainy as any other. I like a lot of features that it has and have yet to tap into them all. Macro setting takes beautiful close ups. I like that the settings wheel is external, not something in the menu as with my last point and shoot Olympus.

          Comments about Canon Powershot A3300 IS Digital Camera (Black):

          My Girlfriends' old Point and shoot died on our trip to NYC jan 1,2012. So I hopped on the Metro and went to B&H to get her a suprise replacement.

          I was in and out in less than an hour with this camera and as part of a kit and she has been thrilled with it. I scored major points!

          It's a good P&S. 16mp is a lot but you can reduce the file sizes. It's not the best low light camera but I thought it was slick that it will reduce the to 5mp to give better low light performance.

          For the price it was perfect as a general purpose point and shoot. The controls are easy and the on screen help has cut down on the "Honey what's this?" barrage you get with introducing someone to a new camera.

              I bought this camera for my 79 year old father in law. I wanted a camera that was very easy and intuitive to use. This camera fits the bill. Within two minutes of showing him the major buttons,where the memory card and battery goes he was taking his first pictures. It is small enough to fit in your shirt pocket but still feels very solid.

              I use this product for my daily snapshots, as I usually work in the film format. The product itself isn't amazing, but it does a good job with the macro setting and outdoor shots. I enjoy the fun options. It isn't the fastest camera, but when the kid and pet setting is used, it does a pretty good job. Considering it has been complimented on its low light capabilities, I wasn't so impressed by it. Overall, a good buy.

                    Great camera, super picture quality specially in low light, light wight with many features. Zoom is excellent for small camera. Low battery life. recommend to buy spare battery.

                            I wasn't sure what to think about a handheld so affordable - often you have to spend upwards of $300-400 to get something decent. This was truly a pleasant surprise. I bought it initially for underwater photography, but have found that it works great on the surface as well. Underwater, it captures surprisingly stunning color, and does a great job of focusing on the object I'm aiming at, typically focusing beyond the sediment in the water. I don't have an external light, but have been pleased with the color I get even down to 60'. On the surface I've had fun playing with different modes, particularly the "live" mode where you can easily shift from warm/cool, vibrant, light/dark, to create more artsy photos. Sure, you can do that on your computer, but I love the ability to do so on the fly. All in all, a great little camera for a great price.

                              The close-ups are great but the zoom
                              not-so-much. Looks like a little man
                              threw a bunch of paint around on the focus point -
                              this was at 2x zoom and it was advertised as having 5x zoom.

                                I bought this because it is compact, to take on hikes and outings instead of my digital SLR. Learning curve for me: because of its size, it is a lot harder to hold it steady.
                                I miss having a viewfinder as that helps stabilize the camera when shooting.
                                that said...for general snapshot shooting, everything else about it is great.
