Canon PowerShot SD3500 IS Review
By Matt Metzker
Review posted 3/24/2010
ThePowerShot SD3500 is Canon's latest compact digital camera, with an awesome touch screen and a durable metal body. With a 5x zoom and 14-megapixels, you get close to the action and clear crisp images. The touch screen is the most responsive and diverse as I have seen. Even the little things like bumping the camera to advance through images make this camera a lot of fun to use.
Canon PowerShot SD3500 Key Features:
Included with the SD3500:
Pros |
| 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. |
Cons |
| 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 on the touch screen and the interactive "bumping" was a fun feature. Image quality and build quality are superb. Read our full Conclusion for more details. |
