Canon PowerShot A3400 is 16.0 MP Digital Camera with 5X Optical Image Stabilized Zoom 28mm Wide-Angle Lens with 720p HD Video Recording and 3.0-Inch Touch Panel LCD (Silver)

This was the second camera I bought...the first was a more expensive Samsung ST200F which I promptly returned because the interface was so clunky - it took way to long to get through the menu and options. This camera got consistently good reviews so I figured I'd try it, but didn't expect much based on the price. I LOVE it!!Far exceeding my expectations, this cheap little camera takes excellent pictures, has a touch screen to get through the menu quickly, even in shooting mode, and has a lot of fun features. I have shot almost all my Christmas pictures in "toy camera mode" which softly blackens the edges and gives a warm nostalgic feel to any photo. Close up shots are crystal clear in most lights, the zoom is decent, but not amazing. The stabilization is excellent even on no-flash settings, which I use most and I have very shaky camera hands.My only real complaint is the dinky noise it makes when you use the zoom. I almost sent it back the first day because of it, but after giving it a test run, I love the pictures it takes waay too much. Its kinda like a great car which has a dinky horn.I'm not a master photographer, but for an average family this is taking fantastic pictures. You could spend a lot more on a family camera, but this model will perform just as well I think. And the touch screen is super fun. Highly recommend!!

I love this Camera!!!!I was somewhat skeptical about buying this due to the lack of reviews. There arent much reviews on a camera unless it's totally famous or new. So I bought it because it was sale for mothers day.I have been using it for about a week now, took it to the zoo. It took excellent pictures, and on top of that the video function is just awesome, it looks like a movie when you're shooting it!The only problem with this is how the price when up like crazy in a day or two. The camera bundle (red) was on sale for 120. Then the next day it was 130 (when I bought it), then the following week, I check it goes up to 220, then 200. Now it's in the 150's. Just keep your eye on it, don't buy if its over 150!I would recommend it to everyone, unless you're a professional, then buy a bigger better camera. I am looking forward to taking this to Europe and Asia this summer :DOh it's touch screen too, thought it was cool when I found out by accident.You probably wanna also buy the class 10 memory card for this camera when taking high resolution pictures due to the lag on lower class. It does come with a 4GB memory card, but use that for a backup.

Not a great experience. Didn’t come with battery charger and all instructions were in Japanese. Downloaded instructions from online and camera wouldn’t power up. Says only selll in Japan do not sell on other countries right on the packaging so I guess if you live in Japan this is a good one but if you don’t, don’t waste your time!

This is by far one of the best cameras I have ever bought (and I have bought a lot of cameras all of which cost a bit more than this one. The battery life is really good though it does take a proprietary battery unfortunately. The image quality is great and it still has most of the settings customizable despite being a point and shoot. Where this camera really shines though is the video recording oddly enough. The color and contrast is fantastic and still works well in low light situations. The frame rate is smooth and the clarity is great. even the audio is good but the biggest features with the video is the macro and stabilization. The recordings are silky smooth even with a shaky hand and the details that it can record with macro is out of this world. The touch screen isn't that great but I don't really have any use for it as the menus are just as easy to navigate with the buttons. the feel of it in the hand is very comfortable and feels very solid though I still wouldn't dare to drop it. It even supports up to a 32 gig SD card (maybe more but the largest I have is a 32) What it all comes down to is if it were to ever break or get lost/stolen I wouldn't hesitate to buy another.

I had purchased a Canon camera years ago, and I liked it very much. In between I purchased another brand, (that I will not name here, but the name rhymes with icon) - anyway, I found my Canon camera amazing to work with. I easily shot several thousand photos with that original Canon Elph. After a while I had a minor issue with my Canon, and I found their customer service to be among the best in business. They were very professional, and a pleasure to deal with. I also had a major problem with the other brand, and found their customer service to be totally incapable of even responding to my requests for information. As a result of this, and because my experiences with the actualy Canon camera was everything it was touted to be, I decided to stick with Canon products. My original instincts with my Canon were correct, and for that reason, as well as because of the amazing features that came with both cameras, I have decided to stick with Canon products from here on out. My first Canon was less than 4 megapixels, and I loved it. My current Canon, the model listed here, is 16 megapixels and has touch-screen capabilities. I am having a blast exploring all that it can do, and it is alot! I am very pleased with my purchase.

I love it
