The smaller PDR-3310 is pricey for a 3.2-megapixel camera, but if you want a subcompact with 3-megapixel resolution, it's one of a very few on the market. The comparably sized Canon PowerShot S330 is $50 less but offers only 2 megapixels. The all-metal PDR-3310 is solidly built, but its light weight (just 6 ounces) makes it difficult to hold steady.
The PDR-3310 doesn't offer as many manual controls as its larger sibling, and the PDR-3310's menu isn't as well organized. We found the camera's motorized pop-up flash annoying; it pops up as soon as you turn the camera on, even when the camera is not in flash mode. We wouldn't mind waiting if the flash worked well, but it's really only useful at very close range.
