The Canon Powershot A3300 IS Digital Camera (Blue) 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.

Comments about Canon Powershot A3300 IS Digital Camera (Blue):
I didn't want to bring my big camera to New York so I stopped by B&H when I got there and got this point and shoot for a surprising price. I've been using it for a couple weeks and I think it's a great little camera. I did get a hard-case for it, which i regret. Get yourself a smaller case so you can stick this in your pocket.

Comments about Canon Powershot A3300 IS Digital Camera (Blue):
Great little camera for when I don't want to lug around my Nikon D2X with a bunch of lenses :)
Good image quality at low ISO for a camera this small. As usual, high ISO image quality is a bit less - to be expected with 16 Mpixels on a small sensor. Good AF with face detection, plenty of ways to override exposure/color/etc. I was surprised by the build quality - I own several high-end PowerShot models which cost up to 3 times what I paid for this one, but this camera feels very solid.
It has HD video recording with surprisingly good quality so I'll definitely use that quite a bit.
This Powershot has a 5x zoom wich starts at 28mm which is great for indoor shots. Image stabilization works well - especially useful at the long end (140mm).
Included software works well on Windows and on Mac.

Comments about Canon Powershot A3300 IS Digital Camera (Blue):
Main reason for buying this camera was the size. I used to be annoyed by too large cameras, more recently by the Digital ELPH I have being too small. I use my camera mostly for work, which involves being outdoors, shooting pics for real estate purposes. Too small becomes more of an issue in a cold climate, can't push tiny buttons and controls with gloves on. This A3300 bridges the issue between to small and the earlier too large A Series Canons, but the menu options are much the same as every Canon, so it's easy for me to set and use.
I don't need the 16 megapixels, it's been set down way below that, and does what I need it to do, and at a very reasonable price!
B&H is my "go to" place for good, very fairly priced cameras and excellent service!

Comments about Canon Powershot A3300 IS Digital Camera (Blue):
Used for travel and family snapshots and for quick/easy 720p videos for the family and internet. Good image quality, but is grainier in no-flash, low-light situations unles you can use a tripod - which is typical. Battery lasted all day of shooting in a museum. Better images than the Nikon I returned. Just enough manual control options to keep me happy.

I bought two of these cameras for my ten year old twinss before a big trip. They handled the cameras with ease and we have many wonsderful photos.
The only downside is the memory required for downloading to a computer. If you have an old computer the photos can take up a lot of hard drive space.

Product is used for shooting family pictures of outings and everyday activities. So far have used indoors and outside on both sunny and cloudy days. Thus far images have been very clear and look great on the camera screen. Still need to download to computer, but so far am very pleased! Also, I know the camera has a "kids/sports" mode, but still haven't figured out how to put it into that faster shutter mode (still need to read the manual, so presume it will be in there!).
