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...

No optical viewfinder, No handgrip, No manual exposure capability,

Lacking true wide angle lens coverage, Screen has small viewing angle, Slow flash recycling time, Slow 1.3fps continuous shooting.
