Canon PowerShot A2300 This camera is just another in a long line of excellent point & shoots from Canon. This one is a slip-in-your-pocket, fully automatic. I am partial to Canon. The best price I found on the Internet was at Amazon. I especially like the 28mm Wide-angle lens. With 16 MP it is as powerful as any P & S on the market. With the 5 X Zoom this is an excellent camera for portraits and other subjects indoors or around the yard. Mine came with a stylish red casing. I bought it as a gift for my wife. She was very pleased. I have been an amateur photographer since the middle 1980s. Canon is always my first choice.

Excellent Camera – Highly Recommend I have owned the same Olympus camera for the past 12 years. I refused to get rid of the big and bulky older model because it took such high quality pictures. I didn’t think any camera out there could top it but I was wrong. This little camera packs a lot of bang for the buck. My old camera didn’t zoom in very closely but I can get great close ups with my new PowerShot. I was looking for a less bulky smaller camera and I have to admit that when I pulled it out of the box my first reaction was that it’s definitely smaller and I hope it takes good pics. This camera is slightly larger than a deck of cards. I took it to a festival and hoped and prayed that the pictures would take. I downloaded them as soon as I got home. The quality is superb! It’s even better than my old Olympus. My husband was so impressed with my tiny camera that now he wants to get rid of his 10 year old model Cannon for one. His words “I can’t believe that little bitty camera took those great shots.” Pics…

A2300 – a good choice for a BASIC point & shoot that anyone can use I received this camera last week (purchased for a 12 year old niece’s birthday). This camera, even though it’s listed as red, is actually bright pink, but it’s still subtle, it doesn’t SCREAM bright pink. One thing that surprised me is that it’s made of metal, not plastic like others in the under $100 price range. However, it is made in China, but I own other cameras that are in the $400+ range that were also made in China, so price isn’t the determining factor on the manufacturing location.The Canon A2500 is a newer version of this camera, but if you do a comparison between the new A2500 and this one, the A2300, the specs are nearly identical in features. The only difference I could find was a very slight difference in overall size and a small difference in photos per battery charge even though they use the same battery.I decided, before gifting it to her, that I would make sure it was operational. (ETA: I gave this Canon to my niece, she loves it; as for…
