Canon Powershot A3100 IS
Canon compact cameras are renowned for their high quality build, ease of use when it comes to functionality and good image quality, however many of them also accompany a large price tag which is off putting for the consumer on a budget.

I was very excited to finally get this camera after all the wonderful reviews however, when I got it home it would not take a picture? I played with it for a while and got it to snap once but there was a terrible delay.

Canon PowerShot A3100 IS review
With the PowerShot A3100, it's fair to say Canon has the entire spectrum of compact cameras covered. From the excellent - and very cheap - Canon A490 , all the way up to the top-end Canon G11 , anyone in the market for a new compact camera will be able to find something they like.

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

The top and bottom ends of the price spectrum are easy, though. If you want DSLR-style performance and quality, prepare your bank manager and buy either the G11 or the excellent Nikon P6000. There are only a few truly decent cameras under £100, so that choice is easy as well.
