Canon PowerShot A3100 IS
A few years ago , Canon's PowerShot A-series of compact cameras used to be very popular with hobby photographers and were designed with that audience in mind, with robust construction, comfortable handling, optical viewfinders and manual exposure controls.

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

All in all, you cannot get a better camera than this for the price you are paying!! Absolutely superb!
Pros:
- Canon just gets better and better and the ease of use has increased dramatically
- Lightweight, picture quality, and plenty modes and things to do on this camera.
Cons:
- Slow start up
- a little sad when taking indoor shots
- and a bit of softness in the left and right sides of the image in wide angle shots
