Our take on the Canon PowerShot A3500 IS Digital Camera

The PowerShot A3500 IS is a slim point-and-shoot with a 16MP sensor, a 5x optical zoom starting at a 28mm wide angle, and optical image stabilization. It adds built-in Wi-Fi for sending shots to a phone and Smart AUTO scene selection for hands-off shooting. Video tops out at 720p, and the sensor is a small CCD, so low-light shots and action are its weak spots. It suits casual shooters who want a pocketable camera with a real zoom lens rather than a phone.

Questions and answers

Is the A3500 IS good in low light?
Not especially. The small CCD sensor produces noisy, soft images indoors and at night, so it works best in daylight.
Does it shoot 1080p video?
No. Video is 720p HD only.
Can I control settings manually?
No. It relies on Smart AUTO and scene modes rather than manual exposure controls.
How does the zoom compare with a phone?
The 5x optical zoom keeps detail when zooming, where a phone's digital zoom softens the image.
How do I get photos to my phone?
Built-in Wi-Fi lets you transfer images to a phone or tablet.
Is it a good step up from a phone camera?
For daylight zoom and stabilization, yes. For low light and video, a recent phone often does better.
Where is the Canon PowerShot A3500 IS Digital Camera cheapest?
At Touch of Modern, for $198.55, as of our latest check.
