In Still Images or 720p HD Video, Every Detail is Beautifully Preserved
PowerShot A2200 digital camera puts you in charge when it comes to saving your memories. Portraits of people posing or in motion, outdoor shots in various weather situations, nighttime shooting and more: the camera handles them all with ease when you shoot in Smart AUTO. High megapixel counts let you blow up and crop your still images just as you please, with no loss in resolution or quality. Want to capture the good times in motion? Canon's 720p HD video gives your memories the quality they deserve. If you've never shot video in high definition before, you'll be amazed at the difference it makes. 720p HD delivers stunning realism, capturing every detail with a level of clarity that, in playback, will bring you right back into the moment. Easy high definition videos from a compact still camera - now that's value! Shoot in HD (1280 x 720) at 30 fps for up to 22 min. and 05 sec. or 4GB per clip. Shoot in VGA (640 x 480) at 30 fps or for up to 50 min. and 17 sec. or 4GB per clip and QVGA (320 x 240) at 30 fps for up to 3 hour 2 min. and 52sec. or 4GB per clip.
Shoot without Distractions
How many times have you found yourself in a situation where you wanted to take a picture, but were reluctant (or simply not allowed) to disrupt the setting with noise or flash? New Discreet Mode makes picture-taking possible in museums, at performances, anywhere light and sound would not be welcome. Simply turn the mode dial to Discreet, and the camera's sound, flash and AF assist beam will be disabled - without changing any other settings. If the camera senses low light, ISO speed will be automatically raised to get the best possible shot. You can even switch to playback mode to review still images or video, and the camera will remain muted.
Photographic Artistry That's Easy for Anyone.
Creative Filters Mode gives you lots of fun, easy ways to make your photography more creative. The camera does all the work - you simply choose an effect and shoot! Fisheye Effect imparts a fun, familiar curvilinear distortion to your image that's ideal for kids and pets. Miniature Effect plays with perspective, giving any shot the look of a world created in much smaller proportions - great for landscapes and city shots. When you shoot in Toy Camera Effect, you get the vintage effect of a first-generation camera, ideal for giving portraits a slightly distorted, unevenly saturated look of a picture you'd come across in your attic. Monochrome lends a moody beauty to your photography, producing shots in Black & White, Sepia or Blue. Super Vivid saturates colors to heighten the intensity and impact of any shot. Poster Effect takes away transitions between objects in the frame to give your image the high-impact look of a hand-painted poster.
See the Image on a Big Screen
The PowerShot A2200 digital camera has a large 2.7" LCD screen that gives you the big picture, whether you're shooting, reviewing or showing off your images. This high-resolution screen offers a crisp, clear and bright picture. It also features Night Display for easy viewing in low light.
Charge Up and Go
The Canon PowerShot A2200 digital camera uses a lithium-ion battery. This compact, powerful battery helps make it a lightweight and slim camera. Charge-up is quick and easy, so the PowerShot A2200 will be ready and waiting for those special moments.

      Comments about Canon Powershot A2200 Digital Camera (Blue):

      This camera is very user friendly. Much better then the Nikon Coolpix. It does have a little bit of lag on the shutter but for a point and shoot it is really great. I am a professional photographer and like to have a back up on hiking trips and travel and this does the job well. Great for leaving in the car or in my purse.

        Comments about Canon Powershot A2200 Digital Camera (Blue):

        Quick and easy to use. What is good that Canon uses the same button functions in all of the Cameras, so if you used a Canon before, taking pictures with this is a snap. Even if you never had a Canon before it is still very easy to use. I haven't found any negative to this camera yet.

            Comments about Canon Powershot A2200 Digital Camera (Blue):

            for a point and shoot, this camera, much like many of the Canon Powershots is a steal! The color is near perfect every time and the macro is pretty decent. I do wish it had a slightly more usable zoom, but for what I use it, which is carrying it in a camping pack, it does the job better than my SLR. The size of my SLR cannot coexist with a backpack that has a tent, gear and clothes it at many times, so the size of this camera is easy enough to fit in the smallest pocket on my pack and then be whipped out to snap a few, of which, I have not been displeased with anything I have taken thus far.

              Very easy to use, responds very quick in compare to small cameras which is great cause it allows you to take better pictures. The only thing that bothers me is the location of the "click" button which is located a bit far to my opinion.
