Canon PowerShot A3200 IS Review

 

The Canon Powershot A3200 IS is an easy to use entry-level compact aimed at the point-and-shooter for holidays and nights out. Sporting a decent 14.1 megapixel resolution and 5x optical zoom, the A3200 also houses some nifty technology to help take the...

The Canon Powershot A3200 IS ticks all the boxes that someone looking to spend this amount of money on a camera will need. It has a decent resolution, a focal range that copes with every day shooting, an abundance of “do it for you” features and it...

Canon PowerShot A3200 IS review

 

Feature-rich and stabilised

Slim, stylish body Impressive Auto performance Reasonable choice of manual adjustment

AF can be sluggish Not full HD video Some clunky ergonomics

Stump up another £40 from the Canon PowerShot A800 and you can get the PowerShot A3200 IS – IS standing for image stabilisation.

Canon PowerShot A3200 IS

 

Looking for an inexpensive yet not unimpressive snapper to slide into your pocket this summer for casual use? For somewhere around the £100 mark, if we go by street/online pricing rather than the manufacturer's own, the 14.1 megapixel, 1/2.3-inch CCD...

Very reasonable asking price, good quality build, decent feature set and results

Not Full HD video, optical zoom disabled while recording, no HDMI output

With the compact camera market static in terms of growth and lower range models being picked off by mobile phones with built-in cameras, the Canon PowerShot A3200 IS seeks to buck that trend with a fair price, a solid construction and design that stops...

Canon PowerShot A3200 IS review

 

The A3200 IS one of many Canon cameras jostling for attention in the sub-£150 sector. It has some distinguished company, including the cheap and cheerful PowerShot A800 and the feature-packed Canon Ixus 115 HS. The A3200 IS's price and features place...

The 14-megapixel resolution is annoying but otherwise this is a likeable, dependable camera at a great price

Canon PowerShot A3200 IS

 

Canon's A-series of PowerShot cameras haven't always been the most exciting product offerings, but the 2011 crop of cameras unveiled at CES this year is trying to change that.

With a 14.1-megapixel sensor, the A3200 IS also comes equipped with a 5x optical zoom lens and a 2.7-inch LCD screen. More excitingly though, it also has the processor from Canon's higher-end digital cameras and SLRs, the Digic 4. It will be available...

Canon PowerShot A3200is

 

Another tiny (in size) PowerShot - the Canon PowerShot A3200is from Canon. Since going to the solid battery offering for PowerShots they have managed to fit everything into a body that means the whole unit slips easily into a pocket.

Doing my Internet searches I found the Canon PowerShot A3200is at a best price of £107.50 with free p&p
