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.

About What You'd Expect From A Basic P&S

I bought this camera for two reasons... mostly as a carry-around P&S for occasions where lugging my DSLR wasn't appealing, and also as the main camera for my other family members to use.

It's about what I expected for a camera at this price-point, with the bonus of being able to shoot HD.

Personally, I don't find the lack of Image Stabilization a big deal. If I was looking for a P&S to be my main camera, the A2200 wouldn't be it - it's a bit too slow (perceptible shutter lag! time between photos!) and lack of IS would be the main reasons. I went for a Canon because I like the brand and the colours they capture. The images could be a bit sharper, and in the back of my mind I do find myself wishing for more manual settings (everything is a take on "auto"), but for a cheap everyday camera / entry-level camera this does the job.

It's also really, really light. You have to look at your hands to make sure it's there!

    Comments about Canon Powershot A2200 Digital Camera (Black):

    Being a compact camera, this is a good one. It is basic but have nice features that are handy when taking a picture should be a pleasure and not a hasle. I like that it is pretty cheap and it has good amount of pixels and the photo quality is good. The rechargeable battery is another advantage, using AA batteries makes cameras heavier.

        I just needed something basic for our motorcycle dealership and this camera fits our needs and budget perfectly. The camera is very easy to use, the battery holds a charge for while (even though we use the flash for EVERY shot), and the HD video capability is just a bonus.

                  I took this camera with me to church to use it for the first time and was very disappointed. Often it would have lines running from top to bottom of the viewing screen. The pics had a lot of color and light distortion. Bright white blotches and red blotches. I had my hopes in buying a good quality camera that it being a Canon, but I'm going to give Nikon a try.

                        I use all Canon equipment, and would have never thought one of their cameras would be as limiting as this model. In particular, there's no 'shutter priority' setting. It shoots at f2.8 at any circumstance, and there doesn't seem to be a way to change that. Very disappointing.

                          This photo takes great photos. Learning curve is easy... has a "tilt shift" / "toy camera" / "fish eye" and a couple more lens effects which really sold me on it. Great for a small camera... I might even sell my t2i which i find difficult to carry around sometimes when trying to get a journalistic/unseen photo the bigger camera scares people away.

                          I bought this camera as a birthday gift for my wife. She doesn't shoot a lot of pictures so I thought this camera would be perfect. It takes beautiful pictures and the ability to shoot video is really nice as well. I notice that the pictures that you take where you used flash look like the picture is ruined on the viewfinder but when you get them onto the computer they look good, usually. The actual viewfinder is very grainy when using live view. The fisheye feature doesn't work well at all. We used it at a baseball game from in the press box and the picture looked terrible on the computer, nothing like a fisheye lens. Overall, for what she uses it for, it's a very nice little camera.

                              Comments about Canon Powershot A2200 Digital Camera (Black):

                              I bought this camera for two reasons... mostly as a carry-around P&S for occasions where lugging my DSLR wasn't appealing, and also as the main camera for my other family members to use.

                              It's about what I expected for a camera at this price-point, with the bonus of being able to shoot HD.

                              Personally, I don't find the lack of Image Stabilization a big deal. If I was looking for a P&S to be my main camera, the A2200 wouldn't be it - it's a bit too slow (perceptible shutter lag! time between photos!) and lack of IS would be the main reasons. I went for a Canon because I like the brand and the colours they capture. The images could be a bit sharper, and in the back of my mind I do find myself wishing for more manual settings (everything is a take on "auto"), but for a cheap everyday camera / entry-level camera this does the job.

                              It's also really, really light. You have to look at your hands to make sure it's there!
