The Canon Powershot A2200 Digital Camera (Silver) is a terrific combination of great image quality and easy-to-use creative features. High resolution of 14.1 megapixels, a 4x 28-112mm (35mm equivalent) wide-angle zoom lens, plus a 2.7" LCD monitor for composing and viewing photos and video put this camera in a class by itself.

Gorgeous 720p HD video is built-in and easy to use. A Smile Detection function recognizes your subject's smile and captures it. Sensitivity up to 1600 ISO will make blurry pictures a thing of the past. No fuss, no muss Easy mode programs the optimal settings for common shooting situations, and Creative Filters make creativity easy with Fisheye, Miniature, Toy Camera, Monochrome, Super Vivid and Poster effects for more high-impact images. Macro shooting allows you make dramatic photos from as close as 1.2" to your subject. The rechargeable NB-8L battery gives you approximately 280 shots/charge.

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.

          It has a wider field of view, so we can still capture what we need for our images. The macro is very good as well as the image stabilization. I take about 99% of my pictures outside and the only question would be how it would handle the cold weather.

Fits nicely in pants pocket and is not bulky at all. Battery lasts seemingly forever!

                        Comments about Canon Powershot A2200 Digital Camera (Silver):

                        Bought this for a friend who has never owned either a film or digial camera. He thoroughly enjoyed learning to use it and has snapped away ever since. This made a good camera for a beginner, it is compact and produces good images. A good preview to a possible upgrade in the near future.

                        I got this camera for my teenage son's birthday. This new Canon model bas 14 megapixels for[$]! Plus, fun "filters" for my son to play with and even HD video! Can't think of anything that we don't like about it. Wonderful Canon product.

                        High Definition recording is clear. Pictures are in focus. When in Auto mode it's a no brainer since the camera has been programmed to think.
