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've been into photography for almost 25 years and have more cameras then I care to admit to. I use a Nikon D5100 and a Canon SX40HS as my higher end cameras but wanted something to just throw around and carry in my messenger bag for daily events. I blog and Facebook and am always shooting pics around town. I had been using a sd700is for the last few years for that purpose but being from 2006 I figured I'de get something more up to date. The A3400is has not let me down, It takes pictures on par with the SX40HS and sometimes can't tell which camera shot what. It's touch screen is easy to use , it's compact and for the money you just can't go wrong. To be honest I just don't have anything I can say that is negative about the A3400IS. Low light, sunny days the photo's are all sharp. It's a great starter camera or just to leave in your bag for that special photo that comes along. I love it and for the 139.00 I paid it's a no brainer.

This reconditioned camera was just what I was looking for. Nice compact size, touch screen, with all the features I need. The gentleman who reconditions used cameras does a very good job.

I replaces my old Canon with this new PowerShot. I think I like it but I don't love it yet. Maybe I will. It has an ease is use especially the video button. Although the video will not appear to be clear when you zoom in. The pictures are not as sharp as I would think 16MP should be. It's hard to change the settings to what might be appropriate and the touch screen could be a little intrusive while in use. I kept trying to find a setting to take a full moon and couldn't....blurry every time. I tried to find one that would work with the sun behind me....dark face every time unless I used the flash close up. Then you couldn't see the background. Hard taking some sunsets with me in it. I'm trying to learn more as I go.

This is a great little camera. Having always enjoyed my Canon AE-1 film camera for many years, I hoped that Canon would also be offering good digital cameras. Turns out that they know the business, and they know what photographers need. I specifically chose the Power Shot A3400 IS from among the Canon options for its particular features, small size and affordable price. I have not been disappointed by any aspects of this camera. Thanks!

Price is okay, however actually quality is middling. Focus in low light is hit or miss. Takes some getting used to holding because of small flash unit where your hand usually holds. Small camera, lots of features, just not as sharp as previous cameras.

This camera has a nice design and feels good in hand. The touch screen is very easy to use and has several cool preset modes that you can play with. ...And that's about all the good things I can think of for this camera. Picture quality is a major issue for me. No matter the setting is, it is VERY difficult to produce a sharp image unless you are under a strong, bright sunlight. The pictures all look great on its LCD, but once you see the pictures in their original sizes on the computer, they all tend to be fuzzy around the details. My 6-year-old Canon SD700-IS does way better under the same conditions (although to be fair, SD700 is much heavier though they are about the same size). I don't expect it to create quality shots like a DSLR, but when compare pictures taken with other powershot models that either I owned or my friend owns, this one is a disappointment from Canon. It'll be a fun, stylish, and easy-to-use camera for your children or teenagers, given its touch screen and some of its funky modes such as 'Fisheye' and 'Poster,' but if you are look for picture quality, this will disappoint you.

I recently purchased this product for my Mom, who needed a new camera. Needless to say, she was very pleased with the product. It arrived sooner than expected, thanks to my Amazon Prime trial. Navigating through the camera's settings wasn't too difficult. I really liked the new touch screen LCD option. In general, I'd say it was a very good purchase!
