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.

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 Review
The 12.1-megapixel PowerShot A3100 IS with 4x zoom makes a good first impression. Its pictures and feature set won't induce violent spasms of excitement, but its smart metal body, satisfying dimensions and straightforward controls are points in its favour
Pros:
- Smart metal body
- Clear and efficient controls
Cons:
- Poor lens performance
- Unadventurous specs
- Too expensive

Canon PowerShot A3100 IS Digital Camera
I got this along with a few other Canon camera models to test out and provide feedback on. This is, to say the least, one of my least favorite in the PowerShot line, at least of those I have dealt with thus far.
