Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Canon Powershot A2000IS 10MP Digital Camera with 6x Optical Image Stabilized Zoom
Customer Review: Excellent pocket camera
Summary: 5 Stars
I bought this camera after trying the latest pocket Nikon, the L20. I found the menus on the L20 a little frustrating and the colors recorded in dim light (outdoor twilight) to be a little off. I also have a Canon SX10 which I have been very pleased with, so I thought I would try one of the Canon pocket offerings and I have indeed been pleased. I'll give the usual pros and cons:
Pros:
Takes great shots on the auto setting.
The optical image stablization works excellent even on maximum zoom. I shot quite a few indoor photos at full zoom and about 90% came out great. Granted, it was pretty brightly lit indoors, but previous cameras I've owned usually wound up with blurry photos.
The dial on the top makes it easy to flip between different shooting modes. I was surprised how much I liked having this dial vs. the Nikon L20 which is all menu-driven.
The camera survived a drop from about 4' onto cement without a scratch or any internal damage. And no, I didn't do that on purpose. ;)
The camera takes AA batteries which I have always liked - great when traveling.
The display on the back is large and easy to see even in bright light.
The 6x zoom lens is great.
The battery life is great. I shot about 140 shots, some of them with flash, and the "low battery" light didn't even come on.
Cons:
It's awfully big for a pocket camera. It just barely fits in my front pocket. It may not seem much bigger than the Nikon L20, but when you hold it in your hand you realize it's a fair bit heavier and noticeably larger.
The flash does take a long time to recharge, depending on the strength it used in the previous photo. I have read numerous other reviews stating the same thing. It's about what you would expect from a AA-powered camera.
Lastly, it's not as sexy-looking as other offerings from Nikon. All they would have to do is paint it red... oh well.
Final thoughts:
I have own some Kodak pocket-sized AA cameras before and found them generally poorly-made. So, I ruled them out on this purchase. I also looked at an Olympus, but in the end went with the Canon and have not been disappointed.
