The Canon PowerShot A3400IS measures 9x5.5x2cm, the last figure can increase to 4.5cm with full zoom but unlike some other small cameras the amount the lens expands varies little according to the amount of zoom. While 5x is not huge by some recent...

Sharp lens. Touch-screen LCD. Optical image stabilization.

Dismal low-light performance. Slow to start up and recycle. Excessive noise reduction. Limited to digital zoom during video recording.

Performance and Conclusions In terms of speed, the A3400 IS is a bit of a disappointment. The camera makes you wait 2.4 seconds after hitting the power button to take a photo, records a 0.4 second shutter lag, and makes you wait 1.4 seconds between...

Looking towards the overall performance, it can be concluded that unless you are dead-set on a budget-priced touch screen camera, it's best to avoid the A3400 IS. You don't even have to go that far to find an alternative- Canon's A4000 IS is just few...

3 inch touch-screen., 5x stabilised optical zoom., Small and slim, light and sleek., 16 Megapixel Sensor., Dedicated help button

Poor High ISO noise performance., No optical zoom while in movie mode., Poor continuous shooting performance

No bad points for me.
