awesome!
This camera case was great! For anyone that is looking for an inexpensive, durable case for their EasyShare camera, this is it! Fast shipping and an amazing product. The price is unbeatable and it's actually probably better than most cases you can find in stores for 4-5x the price. It has got a nice carrying strap thing also, which comes in handy when you're on vacation.

This is a great case for a great price! It protects the camera in my purse. Love the blue color. Easy to open and close. I love it.

This case does its job. Unfortunately, there is no extra space for the camera-computer cable.

I really like this case. It fit my fuji perfectly, was very inexpensive and arrived quickly. I'm about to start traveling so it will be my first real test of how it works.

Impressive.
I ordered this case about a year ago solely because of the cheap price & my need for a camera case ASAP. To this day, it remains sturdy. A couple of scuffs here and there, but no rips or any real damage.

Great design with inferior performance and/or defective detector array
This camera promised superior resolution, more flexible photography, and easier handling. It met two of the three but failed in the most important aspect - resolution and image quality.
With 9.1 MPs the A3100IS should produce superior images (monitor) and photos compared with my two older cameras with fewer pixels and no image stabilization. Instead, the A31OOIS produces a dull and comparatively fuzzy image on the monitor that improves only slightly as one prepares to take a photo. In both ways, the image has two to three times less resolution than the older cameras with their fewer pixels. Further, the colors are subdued - somewhere between true color and a yellowish "black-white" image. That represents a big step backward from earlier models and is certainly not an upgrade in any sense.
Image stabilization can be nice - but it's next to useless when the image and photo are inferior to begin with.
The camera offers an outstanding array of features and a superbly "human engineered" set of controls that quickly bring order to what might otherwise be an overwhelmingly large set of features and capabilities. Alas, again, the poor imaging performance renders these features next to useless and reduces the fun of exploring their full range. Finally, in regard to easier handling, the amazingly nice and compact size of the camera makes it easy to be ready to shoot.
When my A3100IS arrived with this flaw, I returned it to Amazon for an exchange. Alas, the second A3100IS was hardly better than the first. That suggests a design flaw in optics or, more likely, the detector array. In fact, it is not unusual for manufacturers to deliver arrays with widely variable quality. Sometimes the quality is poor in a few units only, sometimes an entire production run may be flawed. That may be what happened to Canon with this model.
For the record, I returned the second A3100IS to Amazon for credit - not for exchange. I still want this camera but will wait some months or a year until they can ship units that reliably produce the kind of experience I expect from this model - which should have rated five stars.
Although design, flexibility, and ease of handling do deserve five stars, the resolution and color performance, sadly, are unacceptable and rate the minimum - one star - which is also my overall rating for this product - for now, at least.

Great value
It's a great first camera for my young son. He likes it. The picture quality is good and it is simple to use.

Regreted the upgrade!
I thought this upgraded model is better than my old A1100, so I upgraded it. After a week of playing with this new boy, I regretted the upgrade. I found that my A1100 is better made than the new A3100. Plus, I really love the feel of the old A1100 than the new one.

Performance wise, I found that the pictures from A3100 are a little more grainy, not to mention that results from relatively old light situations. All in all, I just prefer the old good A1100. I returned the new A3100 after 1 week. Hope this helps.

Small Camera with Great Features and Easy to Use
I purchased this camera for my wife's birthday in early August (2010). She wanted a new point and shoot camera with a better picture and smaller size and weight than her current four year old camera. After much research on my part, I selected the Canon Powershot A3100 IS. All I can say is that she is thrilled. She loves the size and weight, as well as the ease of use, but also the many available features, especially the Image Stabilization, 4X Optical Zoom, 12.1 MP, and the 2.7" LCD.

She just loves it. Her first 200 pictures have been great as well. Very few dudes, even the ones taken in low light. She is extremely pleased, so I can recommend this camera without any reservations. And when she is happy, oh yeah, I am happy.

Point and Shoot Digital Camera: Canon PowerShot AS3100IS easy to use with good pictures
I really like using this camera (Point and Shoot Digital Camera: Canon PowerShot AS3100IS easy to use with good pictures taken every time.) It is light enough such that I carry it in my front shirt pocket or vest pocket. It has a processor like those in Canon's high end Digital SLR (DSLR); but this is a point and shoot camera with a large view finder easy to read; though not on bright sunny days (though the screen image is adjustable which I have not adjusted.) It has an image stabilizer which is great since I some times take pictures with just one hand. It is not too small for my large hands and long fingers; but it would be easy to use for those with small hands. I bought spare batteries from Amazon which cost a fraction of the cost of the Canon brand batteries. I use 4GB flash Memory cards (Class 4 or Class 6) and it works fast enough for my uses.) I have not tried a faster Flash Memory Card such as a Class 10; perhaps it would work even faster. I did not notice any difference in speed by using the class 4 or class 6, Flash Memory cards. The Class 4, have been fine for myself. It has a number of different formats for taking pictures such as Portrait (it can recognize smiles too), landscapes, action (pets and kids), indoor lighting, etc., it has a video or movie setting too which works good too. The buttons are easier to use than other digital point and shoot cameras I have used. It takes excellent pictures and you can see the picture after you take it; then you can either save it or delete it. I read a lot of reviews about this camera before I purchased it. I researched the point and shoot cameras and I found this was the best one for performance, features and cost. It has a 4X Optical Zoom and then a digital zoom after that. It is 12.1 Mega Pixels. I used to use a SLR film camera and I like this one more as it is so light and easy to take with me every where I go.
