A real step down from the PowerShot A720 (for reasons described above)
Abstract: The Canon PowerShot A2000 IS camera has a lot to offer. Perhaps so much as far as manual settings are concerned, but a lot in the sense of ease and user-friendliness. The many auto image solutions and handy scenes do make the life of a photographer a l...
As a camera, the Canon PowerShot A2000 IS is distinctly average. We got better results from the similarly priced Ricoh R10 and preferred its design too. That said, this is much better than your average point-and-shoot model and takes reasonably good s...
Abstract: Canons PowerShot A2000 IS offers a lot of great features in a sub-$250 digital camera, and it is one of the better new point-and-shoot models in the marketplace. FeaturesRating The PowerShot A2000 IS offers above-average features in nearly every cate...

Image noise high at ISO 800 and up, High barrel distortion at wide angle setting, Minor blurring in corners at both zoom settings, though not as bad as some, Very slow flash recycling time, Slightly weak-powered flash, Missing some enthusiast features ...
The Canon A2000 IS does a good job upholding the strong tradition of Canons A-series cameras. Its 6x zoom lens shows very good optical quality, and its 10-megapixel sensor delivers plenty of detail at low ISOs. It does pretty well at high ISOs as well...
Abstract: The Canon PowerShot A2000 IS has a couple of significant factors in its favor. Its inexpensive ($230), has a good zoom ratio for a small point-and-shoot, and did well in our color scoring. On the other hand, theres no manual control to speak of, it ...
The Canon PowerShot A2000 IS is a nice compact camera which is very affordable. With 10 megapixels, a 6X optical zoom lens, optical image stabilization and 3 inch LCD, and now a slimmer design than its predecessors, the PowerShot A2000 is certainly ap...

A real step down from the PowerShot A720 (for reasons described above), Lots of noise reduction in low light; images get noisy in good light after ISO 400, Flash is slow to charge, Slow lens (in terms of max aperture), LCD has poor viewing angle, No op...
There are two ways in which you can look at the Canon PowerShot A2000 IS. As an inexpensive camera with a decent amount of features, its pretty good. However, compared to its predecessors (A710, A720), its a disappointment. Canon has stripped out nea...
Compact, Very good lens, Large LCD, Excellent image quality,
No optical viewfinder, No handgrip, No manual exposure capability,
I've been using A-series digicams since the introduction of the groundbreaking little A20, and the redesigned A2000 IS is substantially different in terms of looks and usability from its predecessors – clearly targeted toward casual photographers rathe...
6x optical zoom range, Very effective stabilisation, Runs on two AA batteries, 3in screen bigger than before.
Lacking true wide angle lens coverage, Screen has small viewing angle, Slow flash recycling time, Slow 1.3fps continuous shooting.
As we said at the top of this page, Canon’s PowerShot A2000 IS is a good value compact with a surprisingly long zoom and effective stabilisation for the money. It’s easy to use, captures sharp, consumer-friendly images and powered by readily-a...
