Canon PowerShot A3100 IS
The Canon PowerShot A3100 IS is a solid compact camera for the money and in our opinion is worth the premium over the A3000 IS. There's not a lot here to get excited about beyond its ability to take an excellent snapshot and optical image stabilisation.
Pros:
- Optical image stabilisation
- Excellent photo quality for its class
Cons:
- Weak feature set
- Cheap feel for its price
