Canon Powershot A2000 IS

I bought my Canon Powershot A2000 IS in January of this year, as I wanted a decent quality digital camera before my trip to Rome in February. Canon is a name synonymous with quality when it comes to cameras, and the A2000 doesn't disappoint! Cons Firstly let's get the negatives out the way. I've heard several grumbles that the A2000 isn't the best looking digital camera, and I have to agree. It has a fairly dull grey and dark blue colour scheme and has a more plastic feel than other Canon models (the IXUS range for example). Also, some people will also always complain that it's inconvenient that the camera takes 2 x AA batteries rather than a ...  Read the complete review

The Canon A2000 IS looks rather dull and boring, it lacks the spark that a camera needs to have when you pick up and use it. The chosen colour tones don't really give an interesting contrast, therefore those that are fashion conscious might find it like a plague. However, for those who don't care about aesthetic appearances, it is quite a decent camera. In terms of weight, this camera is heavier than average. Despite this, the camera's size is still compact enough to carry around. The camera also has quite a powerful zoom, with up to 6x zoom that is enough to zoom over a reasonable distance, which is handy if you are creative and like to explorer new ways of ...  Read the complete review

I agreed to buying a new camera on the grounds that it was easy to use, small enough to fit easily into my pocket and wouldn't be outdated within the next 2 years. After several months of comparing cameras and asking friends about theirs, we settled on the Canon PowerShot A2000 IS. It has filled all my inital criteria and really impressed me with all the added features you can use without any real photography knowledge.The dial on top of the camera makes it simple to choose which setting you'd like and although I usually leave it on Auto, I have tried the others on more than one occasion. Simple ideas like the photo rotating to landscape or portrait depending on the ...  Read the complete review

I have never owned one like this but a friend of mine does. When I first saw it, I knew that there was more to what meets the eye! The form of this camera is simple enough in the dressing elegant silver color, but effective, modern and dynamic.The relatively small size is good enough to be kept in the pocket or in a small pouch. This PowerShot A2000 IS is mostly said to be very easy to use and to get professional quality photos with. Not really surprising as Canon is know for it's great quality! It's features include a 3 inch LCD, a 6x Optical Zoom with an Optical Image Stabilizer, a DIGIC III Image Processor, ISO and Macro settings ...  Read the complete review

Canon's Powershot range aims to encapsulate high quality photos through intelligent deisgn features. The Canon Powershot A2000 is no exception to this. The camera packs a punch of over 10 megapixels, with an optical zoom of 6x. The camera itself weighs little more than 230g inclusive of an SD card and two AA batteries. The camera's greatest feature is certainly the 6x optical zoom. The zoom is responsive and works intelligently with the image stabilisation technology to ensure photos are sharp and clear. The zoom is operated via a zoom wheel. To operate the user slides clockwise to zoom in or anti clockwise to zoom out. This means that the zoom and shutter are all ...  Read the complete review
