Canon PowerShot A3300 IS Review Discussion

[Howard Creech]

At first glance Canon's new PowerShot A3300 IS doesn't look like the culmination of a century and a half of photographic progress, but it is. During the 19th century photographers captured images on large and very delicate glass plates loaded (one at a time) into very slow tripod mounted view cameras and viewed upside down under a dark hood before being manually exposed.

I haven't kept track of the numbers, but I've reviewed five or six Canon P&S digicams each year since 2005, for DCR. I agree, Canon consistently and dependably gives consumers what they want from the $90.00 A495 to the $500.00 G12

Style-wise, Canon has not always been on the mark. For instance, although it was a very good camera, I didn't care at all for the appearance of the SD4500 IS.

And I still can't get used to the new HD touch-screen style that covers the entire back of the camera with the LCD. Leaving no thumb grip zone at all.
