Canon PowerShot A2300 Digital Camera - Black (16.0 MP, 5x Optical Zoom) 2.7 inch LCD

Product Information

Like all screens the A2300’s can be difficult to see in bright sunlight but I was disappointed to discover that it also has quite a narrow viewing angle both horizontally and vertically. That means that you can’t see a great deal if you hold the camera above your head to shoot, plus if you want to review shots with friends you’ll need to pass them the camera as they won’t be able to see properly from either side of you.

The crops below are from shots taken with the A2300’s lens zoomed to the maximum 140mm focal length. The crop on the left was taken in Program auto mode with the sensitivity set to 100 ISO with an exposure of 1/60th at f6.4. The one on the right was taken in Digital IS scene mode. There’s a little bit of camera shake in the left crop and Digital IS has undoubtedly produced a sharper shot, but a better result at full resolution could almost certainly have been achieved by simply increasing the ISO to 200 or 400, or alternatively switching to Smart Auto mode, which would do the same thing for you.

Thanks to state-of-the-art electronics and safety features the battery works with camera perfectly.

Also Included is Canon’s Face Self-timer function which starts the countdown when a new face enters the frame, so you don’t need to make a dash for it. Canon PowerShot A2300 movie modes

The PowerShot A2300 is equipped with a 5x optical zoom lens with a 28-140mm equivalent range. Like the earlier PowerShot A2200 it starts at a very useful 28mm wide angle but now extends a little further – 140mm compared with 112mm. With the exception of the 8x top of the range PowerShot A4000 all 2012 A Series PowerShots now sport 5x optical zooms.
