The Canon Powershot A3300 IS Digital Camera (Pink) 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.

Modes

Miniature Effect

Toy Camera Effect
Simulates photos taken with "toy" or pinhole cameras, darkening the image at the edges to create a vignette effect.
Monochrome

Super Vivid
Super Vivid intensifies existing hues, saturating the scene with bright colors.
Poster Effect
Poster Effect combines several similar shades into one color, turning subtle gradations into eye-catching, scene-popping contrasts.
Easy
Keep the image quality as high as possible for fail-proof images.
Blur Reduction
Boosts sensitivity to enable faster shutter speeds, reducing the effects of camera shake and subject movement.
Portrait
The camera sets a large aperture, focusing the subject and artistically blurring the background to make your subject "pop."

Charge Up and Go
The Canon PowerShot A3300 IS digital camera uses a lithium-ion battery. This compact, powerful battery helps make it a lightweight and slim camera. Charge-up is quick and easy, so the PowerShot A3300 IS will be ready and waiting for those special moments.
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 owned a Canon Power shot before, but lost it in a pool of pinot grigio. I cannot be without a camera for more than 1 week. So when I went on a search for a new one, I browsed for hours but always came back to a Canon, and I'm glad I did. This camera is easy to use and consistently takes great photos in any setting. I took pictures in a bright restaurant and later at a dark restaurant - each one came out perfect. For someone that does not have time to learn about different settings - this camera is for you. It is fool proof and provides a great photo each time. Plus, the pink makes it fun and it's size fits perfectly in any bag for a fun night on the town.

    Purchased camera as replacement for my wife's which was stolen while we were vacationing. She was expecting this one to at least be as user friendly as her old one, but not so. The 3300 had an annoying zoom which was constantly trying to find an object to latch onto. Also, the LCD on this model is not up to Canon's usual sharp, crisp display. We returned it the very next day, and will order another model we hope will be similar to my wife's old one(we like Canon products, just not this one).

I was driving 65 M.P.H and took a picture out the window of mountains ... crystal clear no blurring, the image stabilization is AMAZING!! Not to mention, I LOVE the pink color:)There is nothing about this product that I dont like or would prefer to change.

                            Used for everyday memory catching. Fits nicely in pockets, in girlfriend's purse.
                            Very quick to start up, focus in and shoot. Great find the face feature and really cool detect a smile feature (when it detects the smile, it snaps a photo)

                            The photo quality is not great, but with some settings tweaking can be pretty good.
