Canon Power Shot 12.1 Megapixel Digital Camera Review

The Canon Power Shot, model A3100IS, digital camera is a really good investment if you are looking for a quality digital camera. With 12.1 megapixels, it has a large 2.7-Inch LCD screen, which is much better for taking and previewing pictures than digital cameras with much smaller display screens. I bought mine in November of 2010 and so far I have had no problems with it and I have no complaints. This camera takes excellent, high resolution pictures and it is easy to use.

The price was reasonable when I bought it on sale at Target for around $90. The camera comes with a special rechargeable battery, a charger for the battery, a cord that connects the camera to a USB port on a computer, a band that can be attached to the camera to carry it on your wrist, and a user guide. You’ll need to purchase an SD memory card separately.

This camera has different flash and lighting options, and it also has a self-timer. It also has zoom in and out options that you can use for both taking pictures and viewing them after they have been taken. It’s very easy to delete pictures you don’t want, and a confirmation question comes up each time to prevent users from accidentally deleting photos. When uploading the pictures from the camera to a computer you can either use the cord that comes with it to connect the camera with a USB port, or you can remove the memory card and insert that into the computer, if you have this type of port on your machine.

The battery charger is simple to use. The battery pops out of the camera easily and is inserted into the battery charger, which is a small box that plugs into a wall socket. The charger displays an orange light when the battery is still charging and displays a green light when the battery is fully charged. When the battery is fully charged it stays charged for many hours of usage. When taking or viewing photos on this camera, the battery power shows on the screen with bars to show how much power it has left. You also have two different menu styles for photo viewing. You can either view them as several thumbnails at once or a full screen display of each photo, one at a time.

If you’re in the market for a digital camera you definitely want to consider this one. The price is reasonable, it takes great photos and it’s easy to use.
