Canon Powershot A3400 IS Review

In addition to a stylish appearance, the Canon Powershot A3400 IS Touch Screen Digital Camera from Canon also features a huge 3.0″ touch screen LCD that allows you to snap photographs with the tap of a finger on the screen.

Furthermore, the A3400 IS is equipped with a CCD image sensor with a resolution of 16 megapixels, the 35mm equivalent of a 28 – 140mm lens.

The camera also uses powerful image stabilization technologies and processes to ensure that your high-definition films and photographs are neither unsteady nor blurry. This helps you to capture pictures that are sharper and more true to life without the use of undesired blur or camera shake.

With its 16-megapixel picture sensor, this little camera can capture photos as large as a poster at a maximum resolution of 4608 by 3456 pixels. This allows you to expand or crop any area of your photograph for printing or sharing on the internet without losing quality.

With Digital Image Stabilization, you can guarantee that your photographs are as straightforward as possible and that they are not blurred by low lighting, holding the camera away from you, or shooting at a moving subject.

The PowerShot A3400 IS is equipped with touchscreen technology, making operating the camera more convenient and pleasurable. Make your selection by pushing the screen and watching as an AF box appears on the screen. If you have a moving target, the box will even track them around the frame as they move around.

Simply releasing your finger will cause the shutter to open, capturing the captured image. Using the A3400 IS’s intuitive touchscreen features, you can adjust camera settings, record and view movies, and do many other tasks.

As the brain of the camera, the DIGIC 4 Image Processor drives all of its innovative systems and functions, ensuring that you enjoy quick, dependable performance while conserving battery life.

When used in conjunction with the camera, it can provide improved image quality and capabilities such as HD video, high-speed continuous shooting, and a Face-Detection Self-Timer.

Optical Image Stabilization and Intelligent Image Stabilization work together to produce images that are crisper and more detailed when captured by the camera and stored on a storage medium such as a memory card.

Using various image stabilization techniques, the camera finds the best and most appropriate approach for capturing your shot or video without annoying camera wobble throughout the capture.

With its 720p HD video resolution, the A3400 IS may also be used as a high-definition camcorder that can be carried about in your pocket. Capture more than just a picture of your memories by capturing them in stunning high-definition (HD) resolution.

Considering that it has video capabilities and dozens of photographic options, it is a feature-packed camera that will likely take up the same amount of space as your mobile phone.

Canon PowerShot A3400 IS 16.0 MP Digital Camera with 5x Optical Image...

The Canon PowerShot A3400 IS a joy to use. Because of its small size, we didn’t have to worry about it getting in the way when we weren’t using it. We could tuck it away in a pocket. Although the screen is bright, we believe that it enhances the appearance of the photographs; thus, keep a watch out for that.

Because of the greater size of the buttons, we had no issue using them, so photographers with large hands might want to consider this camera, with the touchscreen LCD offering a genuinely practical alternative.

Although we believe there is room for a slightly more incredible zoom, the Canon PowerShot A4000 IS’s specifications show that the only significant difference between the two cameras is the zoom. It appears that Canon chose that as the deciding factor in place of the zoom.
