The Canon Powershot A2200 is a straightforward, point and shoot digital camera. This type of camera is likely to appeal to you if you are looking for a camera from a leading brand without spending too much money. Canon have trimmed down the range of features on offer with the Powershot A2200. So instead of this being a camera with lots of bells and whistles the emphasis has been placed on ease of use.
Key features include 14 megapixels, a 2.7 inch LCD screen and High Definition movies. That is more than enough megapixels for snapshot sized prints. Even at the cheaper end of the market the LCD screen is smaller than the standard 3 inch screen that most cameras have. Against that only about half of cameras in this price range offer High Definition movies. The lens has wide angle capabilities. This helps squeeze wider scenes or perhaps groups of people into your pictures.
Canon have further enhanced ease of use by including a hints and tips section within the menu. This helps you to get that bit more out of your camera.
Four different coloured versions are available. These are red, blue, silver and black. At a shade less than 24mm wide the Powershot A2200 should fit into most pockets.
