Canon PowerShot SD3500IS 14.1 MP Digital Camera with 3.5-Inch Touch Panel LCD and 5x
Ultra Wide Angle Optical Image Stabilized Zoom (Silver)
This PowerShot camera brings together some of Canon's best camera technology, combining a high
resolution with optical image stabilization, a 3.5" wide-angle touchscreen, and even an HD movie mode, to
put the fun back in photography.

First if you shoot with a p/s camera invest in Photoshop Elements and Noise Ninja if you want to make 8x10
inch prints or possibly squeeze out an 11x14 inch print. The sensor is tiny and noise is a factor which must
be dealt with during editing. You will not get image quality equal to a half frame sensor. If you only want 4x6
inch prints it will not be so noticeable.
Comparing the Canon SD3500 IS to the above I get acceptable prints considering the sensor size, AWB is
pretty good but still needs tweaking. Nice wide angle, 24mm equivalent, fits in shirt pocket, touch screen
which takes a bit of time to get used to. One factor to consider is the video mode which makes MOV files.
Windows 7 will automatically convert these to WMV for watching on your computer but if you want to email
WMV files you will have to find a conversion software and quality will suffer immediately.
As to image quality I can only give a 4 as no 1 / 2.3" sensor will give you a 5 quality for the forseeable
future. Construction appears to be good as you can get for this price range and things to watch out for is the
delicate battery/memory compartment lid.
