Description — Canon PowerShot A3300 IS
The Canon PowerShot A3300 IS packs a 16MP sensor into a body measuring just 95 x 57 x 24 mm and weighing 148g, making it one of the more portable options in the point-and-shoot category. The 1/2.3-inch sensor delivers a maximum still resolution of 4608x3456 pixels, and optical image stabilization (OIS) is on hand to help keep those images sharp during handheld shooting.

For video, the camera handles 720p at 30fps, suitable for everyday casual recording. The autofocus system operates via contrast detection. The ISO 80–1600 range gives you some room to work in lower light.
