Canon PowerShot A3400 IS Review

 

This year Canon has bombarded the entry-level camera segment with their PowerShot A series. We have already reviewed the PowerShot A2400 and the A4000, both of which had done decently well. Another model that had been launched from this series is the...

The camera is priced in India at a street price of Rs.9,695. This camera looks really good and does not resemble a camera priced in the sub-Rs.10,000 category. As for the features, the touch sensitive screen can be a useful addition as one can find...

Canon PowerShot A3400 ISFirst Impressions Review

 

Canon announced a whole slew of entry-level A-series models this year, including the A3400 IS, on preview here. It replaces last year's A3300 IS model, but unlike its predecessor, the A3400 doesn't sit at the top the budget-cam lineup—that honor goes...

My wife uses it more

 

For the price we paid, I say it was a good investment. I would barter 8 lbs of bacon for it.

It takes pictures, it's 16MP and a touch screen. Pictures and video are pretty clear

I'm not a big fan of the battery pack that it uses, I would be more happy using the Lithium AA's ; Flash is extremely bright, my wife reflects said light, crazy
