Canon PowerShot A3500 IS Review

The Canon PowerShot A3500 IS is an easy to use, point and shoot digital camera featuring a 16 megapixel sensor, modest 5x optical zoom, built-in wi-fi and powerful DIGIC 4 processor. It's a camera for the happy snapper, but that doesn't mean it should...

The Canon PowerShot A3500 IS doesn't scream “BUY ME” and it's certainly not stuffed with interesting features. Still, each manufacturer has to have a range of cameras that target a market that isn't interested in the newest feature. Some people simply...

Canon PowerShot A3500 IS Review

The Canon PowerShot A3500 IS was announced in January 2013 and is a budget camera, with a 16 megapixel sensor and 5x optical zoom lens, as well as built-in Wi-Fi. It is available in black, silver and red and is priced at around £109.

Good value for money, Built-in Wi-Fi, Well built body, Help button, Eco mode

Short battery life, Skin tones aren't great in portrait mode, Image quality could be better

Good camera, suffers in build quality

This camera passes every test with flying colors, except the build. The camera is made primarily out of plastic. After a week of use the battery/SD card compartment became loose and would wiggle side to side while latched. I would recommend this...
