Canon Powershot SD3500 review: Canon Powershot SD3500

Canon Powershot SD3500

Nice design; large touch-screen LCD; Eye-Fi memory card support.

Slow shooting performance.

The Canon PowerShot SD3500 IS offers up decent photos, touch-screen controls, and an ultrawide-angle lens, but that's pretty much where the excitement ends.

Canon PowerShot SD3500 IS Review

The biggest pro was the touch screen, I haven't been a fan of them in the past, but this one was very interactive. 14-megapixels and the 5x zoom made for awesome pictures.

The location of the flash is frustrating, not only did my finger continually cover it up, but when getting in close for a macro mode shot, the lens would cast a shadow over the subject ; Bottom Line ; The SD3500 was a great camera to test. I was sold...

The SD3500 was a great camera to test. I was sold on the touch screen and the interactive "bumping" was a fun feature. Image quality and build quality are superb. Read our

Canon Digital IXUS 210 Review

The Canon Digital IXUS 210 (also known as the PowerShot SD3500 IS) is Canon's second touchscreen compact camera, replacing last year's IXUS 200 / SD980 model. You can focus on a subject by simply pointing at their face, review your images and change...

Despite the Canon IXUS 210's undeniably slick touch-screen interface, £349.00 / $329 is a lot of money for what is at heart a point and shoot camera, especially for one that only delivers average image quality. The IXUS 210 is fun and surprisingly...

Canon PowerShot SD3500 IS Review

The Canon SD3500 takes a less-is-more approach and does away with almost all physical controls and buttons in favor of a 3.5-inch touchscreen.

Large 3.5-inch LCD ; Good image quality ; HD 720p video

Expensive for class ; Some overexposure ; Touch LCD can be tricky

Higher sensitivity settings show flat colors, reduced contrast, lots of noise, and fuzzy details. At the ISO 400 setting, noise levels are noticeably higher and there's a (barely) perceptible loss of minor detail. ISO 800 images are noisy, but not as...

Canon PowerShot SD3500IS Digital Camera Review

The PowerShot SD3500IS has a great touch interface, a nice feature set and decent image quality, but it suffers from slow shooting performance.

Great image quality ; Responsive touch screen ; Built-in HDMI output

Slow shooting performance ; Hard to open port doors

The Canon PowerShot SD3500IS is available from Canon's website as well as Amazon.com where it retails for $299.99 in black, silver and pink.

Canon IXUS 210 / PowerShot SD3500 IS ELPH

The Canon IXUS 210, or PowerShot SD3500 IS as it's known in North America, is the company's second touch-screen model, following last year's Digital IXUS 200 IS / SD980 IS. Eagle-eyed Canon spotters may notice the absence of the words 'Digital' and...

Responsive touch-screen controls ; Manual touch focus ; Excellent image quality ; SDXC and Eye-Fi card compatible

Flash performance and slow recycle ; No optical zoom while shooting movies ; Slow continuous shooting

Canon PowerShot SD3500IS (Canon IXUS 210) Review

Optically, the camera is a winner: the lens is a stabilised 5x optical zoom, equivalent to a range of 24-120mm in 35 SLR-talk. Its maximum aperture of f2.8 is useful and will appeal to low light users. The only catch is that, once you zoom out to the...

Canon IXUS 210 IS Touch

The Canon IXUS 210 IS Touch is one of the best and most intuitive to use compact digital cameras on the market at the moment. It's for those who want ...

Amazing image quality, lots of features and scene modes

Fish eye mode is horrible

The Canon IXUS 210 IS Touch is one of the best point and shoot compact cameras currently on the market, and it's cheap too!

Canon IXUS 210 digital camera - First Look

Canon 's latest IXUS model, the Canon IXUS 210 brings with it a 14.1-megapixel sensor and a range of new in-camera features, but can the new compact camera impress? We got hands-on with the new model at the London press launch. The IXUS 210 looks on...

22 scene modes, small, touchscreen

Lots of features you probably won't need
