Editors' Comments
Sitting a notch below the A3100 in Canon's A Series lineup for 2010, the Powershot A3000 packs a fairly standard 10 megapixel sensor, 4x stabilized optical zoom, and a 2.7-inch LCD screen. Canon made some welcome improvements over previous A Series models, like a bigger ISO range (up to 3200) for improved low-light shots, some built-in contrast and saturation effects, and (finally) a rechargeable lithium-ion battery. It's nothing ground-breaking, just a solid budget compact camera—and nobody does budget compacts better than Canon.

Yes any digital camera released this year is compatible with Windows 7. Even older cameras should work fine -- just open it as a USB storage device.

NOT 100% CORRECT (DENNIS MULLIGAN — 04/13/2010)
A lot depends on the camera manufacturer. I have a Powershot A-40 and just bought a new Toshiba lap top with Windows 7 (OS)...The new lap top will not accept the software for the Canon A-40, something to do with the driver. I went to Canon on line to try and down load the driver, thinking that this would do the trick, WRONG! It just doesn't work. The solution in my case is to down-load all photos to my back up lap top which is running Windows XP, then transfer the photos to my new lap top, a hassel? Yes, but it works.....

Slow camera? (Vipul chaudhary — 03/27/2010)
Is this slow camera? How many photos per second does it batch? Please tell.

Shot to shot time is an insufferable 4 seconds. Continuous is .4 fps. So it's a pig running in sand. So I wouldn't use it for sports shots.

timer, close up feature??? (Frank Carter — 03/30/2010)
does it have a timer and close up feature..also , can it be put on a tripod
reply to this comment
by James DeRuvo (04/01/2010)
Every point and shoot can be put on a tripod, so you won't need to worry about that. It'll also have a timer and macro capability (as close as 1.2").

battery question (gerald parks — 06/09/2010)
Does the camera battery charge through a usb port?
reply to this comment
Liam McCabe (06/09/2010)
I'm not 100% sure, but I think the A3100's battery charged through USB, so I'd guess that this one will as well.

Memory card (Bulbul — 06/14/2010)
Is Canon provide any memory card with this. What is its size ?
reply to this comment
Liam McCabe (06/14/2010)
Cameras rarely come with memory cards. Check with the retailer to see if they have a package deal where you can get a memory card for a slight discount along with the camera.

3000 or 3100 (Krishna — 07/25/2010)
3000 or 3100? I hope 2MP doesn't make difference at range around 10MP for my use and saves few bucks. But some reviews gave 3000 less rating than 3100. is it bcoz of 2MP alone? which one to choose?
reply to this comment
Megapixel (Jay — 07/25/2010)
Megapixels mean almost nothing in the higher ranges. You need to have at least twice the megapixel count for there to be a noticable difference. I'd go with the A3000 IS, personally. It's cheaper, and not much worse.
