A real step down from the PowerShot A720 (for reasons described above)
Abstract: The lightweight and compact 10-megapixel PowerShot A2000 IS camera is one of several A series models for 2008. Featuring a versatile 6x (36mm-216mm equivalent) zoom lens, 3-inch LCD, Face Detection AF, and various exposure modes, the A2000 IS offers a ...

Sharp definition; straightforward operation; good AA battery life
Limited dynamic range; no wide-angle zoom; plain appearance
The Canon PowerShot A2000 IS would be the perfect camera for an aged relative or camera-shy novice, because it's easy to handle and straightforward to use. But that's about as much as you can say for it. Countless rivals offer smaller bodies, better b...
Abstract: The Canon PowerShot A2000 IS is geared towards amateurs who want excellent quality photos for minimal amount of micro management and, while it delivers this admirably, there are severe design issues around the controls that will need to be addressed i...
Abstract: Canons PowerShot brand has a superb track record in Computer Shopper reviews. These reasonably priced, no-nonsense cameras ignore flashy extras and instead concentrate on genuinely useful features. The A2000 IS is the successor to the A720 IS (revi...
