5Canon Powershot A3300 IS
By krycom
The Canon PowerShot A3300 IS is little sufficient and nicely fits into your pocket. Being 16 Megapixels and tons of shooting modes your going to need to browse the manual a few times to learn all it’s features if you want to get a good deal of aweinspiring pictures from it. The A3300 does have an Auto mode and bonus Easy Mode setting on the dial. In easy mode only a couple settings work and gives brief instructions on how it works, such as the shutter and zoom, other than as supposed or expected the camera decides everything else for you. It likewise has a scene mode and particular effects mode with grant for a great deal of originative shooting such as Fisheye lens, miniature, toy camera, etc. The camera feels very well built in your hands and the only down fall I found so far is that the flash is at the very top right hand corner and you may have a finger in the way of the flash if your not careful.

3Shutter lag is HORRIBLE if you have kids!
By 4 Bugs Mom
I received this and speedily put it back in the box to return as soon as I tried shooting photos of my kids. I wanted a point and shoot to fit in my purse for those unexpected “Kodak Moments” but it in a literal sense takes 2 seconds after you press the button to snap the shot. Very discouraging and hindering as a parent! It takes nice pics otherwise. But read up on the shutter lag – the part they don’t advertise.

[...]

We ended up getting the Nikon S8100. MUCH better for a quick point and shoot. I likewise love the scene selector – it selects the right scene for the conditions you’re in. Not as high MP as the A3300, but unless you plan on printing out massive images, the S8100 is awesome. It has 10x optical zoom AND one touch button HD movie mode. Check it out!

4Great camera…Gets the occupation done!
By LJ
I love this camera because it gets the occupation done, and it’s so compact that it’s easy to carry in a pocket. It takes great pictures, particularly outside. Indoor picture quality isn’t that great which is why I’m giving it 4 stars rather of 5. I think it is worth the price though!
