Have long been looking for a digicam that appeals to me and fulfilled what I imagine with a good digicam. Bin then, encountered by chance, on the Canon brand. I've then got some information from the Internet and then decided on the model A3300 IS. There were several reasons: 1. I did not want to overpay 2 MP and 3 there are many programs. Could not wait to test them finally. Today came the packet. And I must say I am thrilled. Have all tested what they can and so there's nothing bad to say. Have here previously also read the entries, in order to know what others think of them. There is also some bad entries, which I can not agree. Sure, it's nothing compared to an SLR, but what you'd expect from a digital camera, they met more than satisfactorily. Even at full zoom, the images are sharp. The different programs are great as well. The battery is fully charged quickly. It is super easy to use. Has great size and weight fits. In addition, it is also comfortable to hold. I'm in red and my dad in blue, the colors are also really nice. So I can only recommend. It is a good choice who wants to spend a small fortune and want a really good digicam for each :-)
