We have now been about four weeks time and again in service, but always in bright light, and then you also get beautiful photos in a neat picture quality - thanks to the built-in image stabilizer (IS). And that was our expectation.
For photos in a dark environment, for macro-photos and other tricky situations we have, inter alia, the Lumix LX5 Panasonic in use for this purpose, the A3300 is only very limited. And then only with tripod - succeed snapshots at concerts, then if, only with patience - time, which are not available has in a snapshot. But this was us already aware, but wanted to just try yourself.
Even videos can be filmed so. Our focus was and but lies primarily with the photo capabilities so that we did not test this issue conclusively.
The build quality of the camera itself is appropriate perfectly fine and the price.
The sensor is without error pixel and the display also. In the Canon S95 the quality Pixelfehler was concerning. Clearly worse, although the S95 plays in a different league and was much more expensive. However, these two digicams can not compare this feature also further together. It should be noted only that we have the Canon S95 does not keep (it just was not worth the high price), the A3300 IS does.
Although the A3300 is not made for all light conditions, but can say that it is universal, even across all age groups away that also can not claim any digital camera itself.
If you opt for this camera, most also order a suitable memory card, because the missing included - what we do not perceive the other as negative, because in most cases there is already one and if not, good memory cards cost no more the world and thus making the Canon A3300 IS is not unnecessarily expensive - the delivery is perfectly fine.
As a conclusion can be summed up: the Canon PowerShot A3300 IS has a decent image quality is, well finished and moreover very handy and easy to use.
