The Canon Powershot A3300 IS Digital Camera (Silver) 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 (Silver):
Picked this camera for a combination of (1) wide aperture (2) long zoom (3) price (4) better brand. We are used to and would have preferred a camera with optical viewfinder, but can probably get used to display only. Camera seems a little finicky about taking pictures at long zoom - won't take picture if it thinks there's too much camera shake. Haven't yet figured out how to select image resolution of captured image. Hope it's there! For some reason I had the impression camera comes with a soft case - it doesn't.

Comments about Canon Powershot A3300 IS Digital Camera (Silver):
I tried it out in all it's different settings. Not a camera expert, just the opposite, but this point & shoot takes wonderful pictures. And the zoom really sold me. I've been through about 4 other camera manufacturer's models, & have come back to Canon because they really deliver great images with little trouble. And this is so small, but not so small you can't operate it, that it'll fit into my jeans pocket for the next camel-ride I take, or whatever.

We needed a camera for close up pics and it's great for that purpose. It can focus and remain stable even through my shaking hands.
We love it.

Comments about Canon Powershot A3300 IS Digital Camera (Silver):
I purchased this camera for my parents, both of whom have never touched a digital camera before. They love how easy it is to use and have been snapping pictures like wildfire since it arrived! They love the fact it has a large preview/view screen, rechargeable battery pack, a nice zoom and easy to navigate menus. The only drawback I saw on another review was that the navigation buttons were small and hard to use, so I specifically asked them and neither had a bad word to say about their first digital camera!

Comments about Canon Powershot A3300 IS Digital Camera (Silver):
When I lost our previous Canon IS, my wife was not happy with me at all. It was such a great camera and we didn't think we would find another to live up to it. Well, this one most definitely does. My wife is a photographer who works with very high end equipment and she is this camera's biggest fan. For what most people are going to use it for...it can't be beat.

If you don't need the camera for high quality movies, this is the one for stills. It has many desireable features like a good zoom, wideangle, macro, timer, large screen and easy point and shoot to name just a few. I only wish it had a manual in the box instead of having to read 'how to' on the computer.

Comments about Canon Powershot A3300 IS Digital Camera (Silver):
I owed several Powershots, so the user interface was very familiar to me. I was amazed by the light weight of this Powershot. Ideal for a point and shoot. Of course at 16MP, my pictures on my flat screen TV looked like a pro shot them (which i am not by any mean). I bought two large capacity SD cards. Recording video in HD eats up the memory really fast, but after all it is a camera not a camcorder. The zoom is not as good as on some other camera in the same category, but i use the zoom for portrait not nature shot with this camera and the 5X is just what i need. Overall, really pleased.
