Canon A2000 IS
Digital Camera Review

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.

The A2000 has a decent array of choices for image size, and all can be shot at three levels of compression: superfine, fine or normal.

Picture Effects Mode (3.00)
The "My Colors" function offers settings for vivid, neutral, sepia, black and white, and custom (which lets you tweak contrast, sharpness and saturation). This function, by default, is set to "off."
There are no fancy editing effects available in Playback, but you can tag your photos with category labels for people, scenery, events, category 1-3 or to do list. This final setting, we assume, is for reminding yourself to do things by taking photos of them.
