Canon PowerShot A3100 IS prices and specs
The PowerShot A3100 IS was produced on Jan 5, 2010 and is on sale in USA for 349.95
The PowerShot A3100 IS belongs to the category of compact cameras. Its main advantage is a very small size: the photographer can even put it in the pocket. The Canon PowerShot A3100 IS is equipped with different automatic modes but you won't get photographs of the same high quality in comparison to DSLR cameras.
The Canon PowerShot A3100 IS can take photos at 12 megapixels highest resolution. But if you want to get better photo quality the more important thing is a sensor size. This camera has a 1/2.3' (6.17 x 4.55 mm) sensor which means that the PowerShot A3100 IS will shoot photos with a lower quality than cameras with bigger sensors but instead it has another advantage - the PowerShot A3100 IS is small. But if you want to capture photos of the professional quality check Nikon D5.
The Canon PowerShot A3100 IS has max shutter speed of 1/1600 sec. It is not very fast shutter speed but anyway the photographer will be able to make photos of moving objects. The Canon PowerShot A3100 IS can even produce videos but the max resolution is not very high - 640 x 480 (30 fps).
The lens is built into the Canon PowerShot A3100 IS and the camera owner can't change it. The lens provides 4x optical zoom.
