About the Canon PowerShot A3000 IS
The Canon PowerShot A3000 IS, released in January 2010, is a compact with a 1/2.3-inch CCD sensor of about 10 megapixels and a 4x optical zoom covering 35-140 mm in 35mm terms. The aperture runs from F2.7 to F5.6. As the IS in its name suggests, it includes image stabilization to help with handheld shots at the longer focal lengths.
The body measures 97 x 58 x 28 mm and weighs about 165 g, with a 2.7-inch monitor on the back. Images are stored on SD, SDHC or SDXC cards, and the camera runs on an NB-8L lithium-ion battery. The 35 mm wide end is a moderate angle, so it works better for portraits, tabletop shots and everyday scenes than for cramped interiors. It is a simple camera with a classic CCD sensor and a modest zoom.
Buying one used
Look for an NB-8L lithium-ion battery that holds its charge, with a charger if possible. Test the 4x lens and the image stabilization, inspect the 2.7-inch screen, and try an SD, SDHC or SDXC card.
