The A3300 IS is the highest-resolution CCD Canon compact in this collection, and it arrived right at the end of the CCD era in budget compacts, just before CMOS sensors took over the entire segment. That timing shows in how complete a package it is: a proper 5x zoom, real optical stabilisation, and a wide 28mm starting point, all in one camera. At 16 megapixels the grain is finer than earlier, lower-resolution A-series cameras in this archive, though it still reads as unmistakably CCD rather than the smoother rendering CMOS sensors would bring. Canon's warm colour signature is present throughout, and the 3-inch screen — larger than most of its A-series predecessors — makes composing and reviewing shots noticeably easier. The 28-140mm range is the most versatile zoom of any A-series camera in this collection, covering genuine wide-angle through useful telephoto in a single lens. For anyone who wants the most complete, capable CCD compact Canon made in this line before the format disappeared, the A3300 IS is the one to reach for.
