The Beginner Level Canon PowerShot A2200

By Jill Kellie


The Canon PowerShot A2200 is an entry level compact camera that provides excellent image quality at an affordable price. It is extremely easy to operate and very small, thin and light. The camera has a 14 megapixel sensor and is capable of taking very detailed and sharp images.

The camera is very well designed; the mode dial sits at the top of the camera, which makes it easy to operate. Most of the entry level compact cameras do not have this feature so it is a welcome addition to the cameras design. The LCD screen on the back is 2.7 inches in size, which is relative to the compact size of the camera. It remains viewable even in direct sunlight.

The camera's lens has a 4X optical zoom, which works extremely well for isolating far away subjects. The camera also has a basic flash, which is very effective for low light photography.

The camera has numerous shooting modes, including daylight, cloudy, indoors and others. This way the camera will choose the correct exposure, white balance, ISO and use flash when necessary. This creates sharp images that correct colors and no blur. The camera's discrete mode will turn off all sounds so that the camera will not disturb anyone or attract attention.

There is also a clever face detection function on the camera, which will focus on faces making portraits and group photos look sharp. The camera can even detect a smile and not take the photograph until the smile is detected. Of course this function is optional and can be switched on or off when needed. The easy mode on the camera provides guidance to novice photographers so it is easy to capture fantastic moments without a huge understanding of photography.

It is possible to shoot at a range of different resolutions, so you can save space on the memory card. These are 0.3 megapixels, 2 megapixels, 7 megapixels and 14 megapixels. There is also a panoramic option at 10 megapixels, which is ideal for landscape images.

Like all compact cameras the Canon PowerShot A2200 has a video mode that will record video at 720p HD. As it is a budget camera the video options are fairly limited and it is not possible to use the zoom in video mode. However the video is very good quality and perfect for most applications. All in all this camera from Canon is a very good entry level compact that provides excellent image quality and options that make the camera easy and fun to use.
