Canon introduced the PowerShot A3000 IS and A3100 IS to top its A series of budget compacts at CES 2010. They become the first A series cameras to be built around Lithium Ion rechargeable batteries, rather than AA cells, giving around 230 shots per charge (based on standard tests). Both share the same 35-140mm equivalent (4x) image-stabilized zoom lens and 2.7" LCD screen, with the A3100 offering a 12MP CCD sensor, rather than the A3000's 10MP CCD. In line with their price tags, both cameras feature only VGA movie capability. Both are SDXC compatible.

Opinion: this is a piece of crap ! 150 dollars
and it feels so cheap and pictures and not great
dont waist your money and buy something better for the same price
Problems: VERY SLOW
Opinion: I'm not a professional photographer,but i know a good picture when i see one. The a3000 is a good camera with a nice price-to-performance ratio. Images are properly exposed,and the camera is good enough to change to macro / landscape in auto mode.
Flash pics are ok,not overly washed. The camera takes good pictures (only 1 in 10 pictures seems a little bit blurry indoor, but nevertheless,im very much happy with my purchase considering i paid a small price for a great camera!)
Problems: The camera boots really fast,but takes 2-3 seconds writing to the card. You may miss a shot or two because of this.
The battery door is a bit flimsy when opened,but is solid when closed.
Opinion: The camera seems a bit cheap compared to cameras with the same price. But it takes good pictures, both indoor and outdoor. When ISO is low(100) they are quite sharp, with ISO of 400 or bigger they start to be blury.
It's quite fastin booting and shotting, i'm using a 4Gb class 6 SDHC and it writes to the card in no time at all.
In auto mode sometimes it takes a while focusing and chosing the rigth settings, and sometimes is out of focus, I usually shot in Program mode.
Overall is a nice camera that takes good pictures for the price it costs.
Problems: No way at all to control the aperture size
Auto mode a bit slow and not always accurate
Opinion: The dial mode function is the most handsome criteria that catches my attention. It is a very straight forward camera that defines what is a point and snap camera is all about. The AF is acceptably fast enough for a p&s. Although there are many more faster models, the dial mode function enable the users to select a suitable mode in just no time. The height of the body also fits in our hands.
The cons are the buttons are quite hard to press maybe it is meant to be heavy duty type? Not sure
Problems: Not yet.
