Customer Review: ~Super Cute Camera, Super Cool Features~
Summary: 5 Stars
This is my first Canon camera, I usually prefer Sony, but this camera met my needs and exceeded my expectations. It takes good pictures and has some nice features. I was looking for a pink camera and was stuck between another Sony CyberShot, a Nikon, or this Canon SD3500. I read so many reviews and researched so many cameras before choosing this particular model. Right out of the box and on Auto mode this camera takes good pictures. I read some reviews where people had mentioned that there were too many features on this camera and they didn't like that about it. It is true, there are a lot of features (which to me, is a good thing) but the camera is very user friendly so it isn't hard to get use to it. The manual comes on a disc, which is one of the things that's not so convenient, but other than that the camera is a very nice camera.
Comparing this to my CyberShot T70, there are some things I like better on the Canon, and there are some things that I wish the Canon had that my CyberShot has... but overall it is a nice upgrade.
The 14 megapixels are nice to have (I guess) but that's not the best thing about this camera. The pictures are clear and crisp, and the main purpose of a camera should be to produce good pictures. This camera does that. I am not a Camera-nista, nor am I anything close to a Pro, I am a person who likes to capture memories and have fun with a camera. This camera allows me to do that. I have kids and it captures their movement and action without unwanted blur. The 5X zoom is really good for a point and shoot camera. The Program mode and Scene Selection are really easy to use. Auto mode is super easy and takes great photos. I compared some photos taken in Auto mode to some taken in certain Scene modes and there isn't a noticable difference on many of them. The Macro is not my favorite on this camera, I think my CyberShot outshines the Canon by a longshot in that department. The HD movie feature is nice and you can zoom in while recording,(you will hear the camera zooming when you play back your movie) but again, my CyberShot produces clearer movies in Fine mode than the Canon in HD. There are some things that my CyberShot cannot compete with as well, picture quality being the main thing.
The continuous shooting response on this camera is very slow when you select that particular mode. You can lose precious moments while waitng for the camera to take the succession of shots. My CyberShot fired off way faster shots than this Canon.
I can't seem to get good pictures using the Color Swap and Color Accent modes, but I am sure I will get better at it after I tweek some things and play around a little more. The miniature mode is another cute feature to have as well as the fish eye. The creative lighting effect is not very useful to me.
Another thing I like with the Canon PowerShot SD3500 is the software that comes with it, it allows you to take still shots from your recorded movies. That is something I enjoyed while recording my kids because although you like to record some of the things they do, it is also nice to have a snapshop. That is something I mainly see with Camcorders, not cameras, and I wasn't able to do that with my CyberShot so it was a convenient addition to have within the software for the Canon.
The software is easy to install and doesn't take up a lot of space on your computer. It is easy to use as well.
I did have a problem receiving my order, NOT due to the fault of Amazon.com, so I had to purchase the camera somewhere else. (Amazon's Customer Service is VERY GOOD, the best... hands down) Amazon has the absolute best price for this camera. I checked so many places and Amazon offers the best deal with free shipping & no tax!!!
This camera turned out to be a very good purchase for me and I am completely satisfied with my Canon PowerShot SD3500 IS.
***I will add to this review later as I explore more things about this camera, and include some pictures as well.***
~~~UPDATE~~~
As I have been playing around with this camera a little more I wanted to add a few more things to my review...
The camera still is a 5 star camera in my opinion. One gripe would be the quality of the night photos. I tried to change the various settings and adjusted the camera in an attempt to capture a good night time picture, but the quality is a little less than to be desired.
The action shots are really nice because they capture movement really well without blur and my CyberShot didn't do too well in that department.
The video quality is not fantastic, it's just ok. You really have to pay attention and make sure your focus is good before recording because otherwise it will be grainy. I suggest test recordings before you actually begin to record. Make sure you are in focus! This HD is not as good as fine or super fine movie recording in my opinion. And the sound is good while recording.
The zoom on the camera is very nice. It's just ok, not great, when you go up to 20X. Of course you see grain when you zoom that close, but it can still produce a decent, but grainy picture.
The battery life is really nice. I went to an amusement park and took a ton of photos and the indicator showed full battery status after I was done shooting 232 pictures and 6 short videos. Of course I charged it overnight the day before, but the battery life is very impressive. My CyberShot did not have as good a battery life as the Canon.
My rating hasn't changed for this camera. It's still a very nice camera that takes very nice photos and has very nice features.
