Digital Camera Review

1.9 The PowerShot A2000 IS from Canon is a compact point-and-shoot with a 10-megapixel sensor, a noteworthy 6x zoom, and a $229.99 pricetag. We were initially slightly taken aback by the odd wedge shape of the camera, but it slowly grew on us. In our extensive lab tests, it didn't fare particularly well, and we would have liked a greater degree of manual control. Read on for more details.

Connectivity
Software (5.00)
The included Canon software isn't amazing, but at least gains points for being Mac compatible. It does an OK job with basic image tasks, both in terms of image browsing and simple editing. You can alter sharpness, brightness, correct red-eye, and perform other standard edits. However, the software handles quite slowly when performing these tasks.

Jacks, ports, plugs (3.00)
The A2000 IS has two ports, both situated on the upper edge of the right hand side of the camera. There's a standard micro-USB jack, which lets you hook your camera up to your PC or TV using included cables. The second small plug is for AC in, using an optional power adapter.

 Direct Print Options (4.00)
The A2000 supports two computer-free printing options. The first is PictBridge, which lets you plug your camera directly into compatible printers, and choose which photos you'd like to prinht, and how many copies of each. The second is direct print order form (DPOF), where you can mark your photos for print size and quantity, then hand the memory card to an output service to have your order filled.

Battery
(6.00)
The Canon Powershot A2000 IS uses AA batteries, which you can find almost anywhere. It does mean use them up quite quickly, making high-quality rechargeables a good investment.


Memory
(4.00)

The A2000 accepts SD, SDHC and MMC plus, which are used for most point-and-shoot cameras. These cards are small, inexpensive and easy to find,and are available with high storage capacities.


Both AA batteries and SD memory cards are easy to find/
