PowerShot A2000IS Highlights
Loaded with features, packed with value
A 10.0 Megapixel resolution makes it a breeze to print large size images with clarity and detail. With the PowerShot A2000 IS, dramatic, personal pictures have never been easier to shoot and share. This 10.0-megapixel camera lets you create impressive large photos of family and friends youll be proud display. The high-resolution images taken by the A2000 IS can be enlarged up to 13 x 19-inches.
Get closer with the zoom power
The PowerShot A2000 IS has a 6x optical zoom lens that makes it easy to get the inspiring, emotive close-ups that will make your images lasting keepsakes. This magnificent lens gives you the power to shoot distant subjects with razor-sharp precision and stunning lifelike color. So you can brilliantly capture a bird high atop a tree, a childs winning goal from across the stadium or a school play from the last row. Plus, thanks to Canons highly sophisticated Optical Image Stabilizer technology, even at maximum zoom, every image is rock steady.
The A2000 IS is equipped with Canons acclaimed Optical Image Stabilizer Technology that automatically detects and corrects camera shake -- one of the leading causes of fuzzy or blurred shots. Even when zoomed in, you can get the steady, crisp, brilliant images youll be proud to shoot and share. And Canons Optical Image Stabilizer Technology is so convenient to use. It functions perfectly with or without a flash.
New slim two-tone design with a large, bright 3.0-inch LCD
The PowerShot A2000 IS is a digital camera that redefines the meaning of elegance -- with every exquisite detail. Note the distinctive wedge-shaped body and slim silhouette that makes this sleek, top-of-the-line A-series model as delightful to hold as it is to shoot. Then theres the two-tone styling that even at first glance, sets the A2000 IS apart from the rest. For comfort and convenience, large-sized buttons are intelligently laid out for quick and easy access. Finally, theres the high-quality matte finish around the controls that quietly, yet unmistakably, signals that this is camera like no other.
DIGIC III Image Processor
With DIGIC III, your images boast superior quality, the camera operates at top efficiency and battery life is enhanced. Whats more, DIGIC III enables Canons Face Detection, Motion Detection Technologies and Red-eye Correction to give you better, more true-to-life people shots. Simply press the shutter button halfway down, and the camera automatically pinpoints the faces in the scene and chooses the ideal focus point. The camera controls exposure settings and flash to keep every face looking bright and natural. The camera also selects and sets the optimal exposure and ISO settings automatically to keep everything looking sharp and clear. Red-eye Correction can be handled in-camera, in two ways. The Red-eye Correction during shooting uses the Face Detection Technology to recognize and remove red-eye from images as they're taken, before the file is written to the memory card. It's also possible to correct red-eye during image playback, using simple settings in the PowerShot A2000 IS's menu.
iSAPS Technology is an entirely original scene-recognition technology developed for digital cameras by Canon. Using an internal database of thousands of different photos, iSAPS works with the fast DIGIC III Image Processor to improve focus speed and accuracy, as well as exposure and white balance.
DIGIC III features Face Detection technologies, giving you the best possible results in any shooting situation. Face Detection AF/AE sets the focus point and exposure for the faces of your subjects. Face Detection FE adjusts the flash to correctly illuminate your subject to provide the best balance between your subject and the overall scene, eliminating the common problems of over and underexposed faces.
Face Detection WB means the camera concentrates upon faces when calculating white balance for the best possible skin tones. Face Select and Track lets you highlight one face among several in a scene, and the camera concentrates on that person, even as they move around the scene. Face Detection Technology is a powerful contributing factor in Canon's Motion Detection Technology. Simply press the Face Selector Button, then the selected face is double-framed and tracked when the face moves in the frame.
Motion Detection Technology works in the background to instantly evaluate how fast your subject is moving. It automatically selects and sets the optimal exposure and ISO settings to keep everything looking sharp and clear. This feature provides higher ISOs when you need it for action-stopping shutter speeds. But when no movement is detected, it sets lower ISOs for excellent color and detail. Life doesnt give you second chances to capture special times. Thats why the PowerShot A2000 IS features ISO 1600 and High ISO Auto settings that reduce the effects of camera shake and sharpen subjects in low-light situations, giving you greater shooting flexibility.
Red-eye Correction provides three options for removing red-eye from subjects in flash pictures.
1) The Red-eye Correction during shooting actually identifies and corrects red-eye in human subjects as pictures are taken.
2) The A2000 IS can be set to automatically detect and correct red-eye during image playback.
3) You can manually locate any red eyes in a scene during image playback on the LCD screen, and command the camera to remove them.
Easy Mode and Easy Playback mode
When youre taking pictures, the only thing you want to think about is your subject. Thats why the PowerShot A2000 IS is equipped with Canons Easy Mode that works in the background to handle all the technical details for you. Now you can relax and concentrate on choosing just the right angle, capturing the perfect expression, framing your shot perfectly. To make showing off your images just as carefree, the A2000 IS features the new Easy Playback mode that makes viewing single images and slideshows on the camera effortless -- even if youre new to digital photography!

One of the best things about this camera, in my opinion, is that unlike many cameras, it runs on two AA batteries. The downside to this is that there is a bit of a lag when taking pictures while the flash recharges, and it takes a few seconds to navigage between pictures on the camera in the picture-viewing mode. However, this also means that if your battery runs low, throw them out and put in a couple of AA's, which can be gotten without very much trouble almost anywhere. Whereas many cameras have a special type of battery that, when it dies, unless you have a spare ready, so much for your pictures. Granted, these other batteries may last longer and speed up flash recovery time, but you may miss out on pictures if your battery goes dead. With this one, just carry a couple extra AA's, which are cheap and available.
Some reviewers said that they experienced problems with the lens not opening or sticking, or with the battery door being flimsy. Well, I've had this camera and have probably taken several hundred pictures with it over the last couple years. So far the lens has never stuck or failed to open. So perhaps they got a faulty model, but mine works wonderfully. As far as the battery door being flimsy plastic, I grant you that it's not the toughest plastic in the world, and if you drop it or abuse it and aren't careful, it may end up braking on you. So, just be careful with it, and you won't have any problem. Anything you use and abuse is breakable; under normal conditions you'll be fine.
The only cons to this camera that I've found are as follows: At times the autofocus focuses on objects that I don't want to be the focus of the picture, and I have to test the focus a couple times to get a particular shot to work out. But, after having used several autofocus cameras, I suspect this is common to just about all digital, autofocus units out there. Also, it's quite possible that I have something set incorrectly on the camera itself and that could be causing some of the problem. This camera allows you the ability to change many settings to achieve almost any effect you could want. However the instruction manual does leave a bit to be desired (don't they all), so you have to play around with this to see what it can do.
As some people have noted, because it runs on AA batteries instead of a lithium or other battery type, recovery time for the flash is longer, and often takes several seconds. So, if you're someone who tends to take a lot of high-speed, action shots where every second counts and a delay is liable to cost you the perfect shot, then this camera might not be for you, and you may wish to invest in something more pricey or something that uses a different kind of battery. If, however, you want something that will take fantastically clear and vivid pictures of people, objects, and anything else ordinary you can think of and that's ready to go right out of the box in a hurry, this camera is for you. Basically you have to weigh the pros and cons of being able to use easily obtainable disposable batteries versus the loss of speed involved when using such batteries, and compare this to your needs. In my opinion, this is one of the best cameras you will find anywhere in this price range, it takes incredible pictures on the fly, and has a lot of extra, advanced settings too boot. If you're planning to be a professional photographer and use a camera for business, there are probably better models out there; alternatively, if you just need a camera to capture quality moments in your life as they unfold, this is the one for you. Don't think twice about getting this, because it's fantastic.
The only recommendation I have is that you buy a separate memory card for this camera, 4GB or better capacity. The card that comes with the camera holds only a few pictures, and isn't very useful for storage if you're going to take more than six photos at a time. With a 4GB memory card, I believe the camera will hold about 700 pictures at ultra high res, (which is about 4MB/picture) or about 1,500 photos at the fine setting, which is about 3mb/picture.
Positives far outnumber the negatives -
Only negatives (and they are minor):
It burns through batteries pretty quickly - especially if you don't get the longer lasting ones. I take them out between uses and this seems to help some.
It also takes a long time to reset between shots to be ready to take the next shot. I will try a faster memory card to see if this helps.
All in all, I am very happy with this purchase.
