Canon PowerShot A2000 IS - digital camera review

 

Canon's PowerShot A-series lineup epitomizes inexpensive point-and-shoot simplicity without sacrificing photo quality. They're not the most feature filled, they aren't the most stylish (they're not unattractive either), and speedy performance isn't...

Excellent photo quality for the money; 6x zoom; simple operation.

Limited controls; slow performance.

The Canon PowerShot A2000 IS is lean on features beyond its stabilized 6x zoom lens, but it takes great photos and is easy to use.

Canon Powershot A2000 IS review

 

During the last weeks of the summer of 2009, Canon introduced several cameras. The compact camera series also contained a pair of PowerShot A models; the A1000 IS and the A2000 IS. The model we tested, the Canon PowerShot A2000, successor to the A720...

The Canon PowerShot A2000 IS camera has a lot to offer. Perhaps so much as far as manual settings are concerned, but a lot in the sense of ease and user-friendliness. The many auto image solutions and handy scenes do make the life of a photographer a...

Canon PowerShot A2000 IS Review

 

The Canon PowerShot A2000 IS digital camera is the new top-of-the-range model in the popular PowerShot range, which has traditionally offered a compelling combination of features and affordable price. The A2000 IS is around 25% smaller than its...

The A2000 IS also suffers from less than stellar image quality in low-light due to obvious noise appearing at ISO 400 and faster, the lack of any hand-grip which makes it difficult to hold, annoyingly slow flash recycle times, and a slow continuous...

Canon PowerShot A2000 IS Digital Camera - First Shots - The Imaging Resource!

 

The Canon PowerShot A2000IS is intended as a replacement for the very popular Canon A720IS that was a sales leader last year. The new Canon A2000IS has the same 6x optical zoom range (covering focal lengths from 36-216 mm equivalent) as the A720IS did,...

Small, compact size ; 6x zoom with optical image stabilization ; Good selection of useful preset shooting modes ; Very good color ; Motion Detection Technology helps with moving subjects ; Face Detection helps with focus and exposure on portraits ;...

Image noise high at ISO 800 and up ; High barrel distortion at wide angle setting ; Minor blurring in corners at both zoom settings, though not as bad as some ; Very slow flash recycling time ; Slightly weak-powered flash ; Missing some enthusiast...

Unlike the A720IS which had full PASM modes, exposure on the Canon PowerShot A2000IS is fully automatic, but the user can tweak it with up to 2.0EV of exposure compensation and four metering modes to handle difficult lighting, including a mode which...

Canon A2000 IS

 

The A2000 IS is an inexpensive, basic point-and-shoot from Canon that records at 10-megapixel resolution, and squeezes a 6x zoom lens into a relatively small frame. For $230 you get a camera with minimal manual controls, but nice point-and-shoot ease...

If you get your hands on A2000, the first thing you'll notice is its odd wedge shape. Reminiscent of a doorstop, this strange design allows the camera to gradually enlarge from a narrow edge to a substantial handhold, but it's an unusual approach

The feature that jumps out at you the most when you look at the camera's front is the large black plastic section on the left, as if the camera was partially dipped in a paint bucket. Apart from that, we have the usual suspects on the camera's front:...

Canon PowerShot A2000 IS

 

You take a few steps forward on the A2000 (larger/sharper screen, better battery life, redeye removal), but take even more back compared to the A720. The A2000's lens is slower, there are fewer manual controls, the optical viewfinder is gone, and...

Very good photo quality (in good light) ; Good value for the money ; 6X optical zoom lens in a relatively compact body ; Optical image stabilization ; 3-inch LCD with good low light visibility (but see issues below) ; Redeye not a problem thanks to...

A real step down from the PowerShot A720 (for reasons described above) ; Lots of noise reduction in low light; images get noisy in good light after ISO 400 ; Flash is slow to charge ; Slow lens (in terms of max aperture) ; LCD has poor viewing angle ;...

In conclusion, I like the PowerShot A2000 IS -- it's a good choice in the entry-level, midzoom category, and I can recommend it, as long as you're not a big low light shooter. As I've said throughout this review, the PowerShot A2000 is definitely a...

Canon PowerShot A2000IS

 

Canon's PowerShot A2000 IS is a good value compact with a longer than average optical zoom range and very effective image stabilisation. It may be lacking the 28mm wide angle coverage of Panasonic's models or Canon's own IXUS 870IS / SD 880IS, but...

6x optical zoom range., Very effective stabilisation, Runs on two AA batteries., 3in screen bigger than before

Lacking true wide angle lens coverage., Screen has small viewing angle., Slow flash recycling time., Slow 1.3fps continuous shooting
