How to select the right Canon point-and-shoot



The PowerShot A series



Although A-series point-and-shoots belong to the entry-level category, some of the shooters in this class have pretty advanced features such as manual exposure control. But one common characteristic among the snappers in this family is the use of AA-sized batteries. This makes them suitable for travelers who may not have easy access to an electrical outlet.

In this series


PowerShot A2100 IS
This latest PowerShot camera sheds the usual grey scheme typically associated with the A-series cameras. Clad in black, the A2100 IS not only looks more stylish but has a host of useful features such as a 6x optical zoom, large 3-inch LCD and variety of scene modes for beginners.

PowerShot A590 IS
This basic shooter has almost everything you need to start shooting right out-of-the-box. Although the 2.5-inch LCD may be somewhat of a letdown, it makes up with its good suite of features which include full manual exposure control, simplified operations and an optical image stabilizer.




PowerShot A480
Although it lacks an optical image stabilizer system, the A480's affordable price tag will appeal to users on a tight budget. Available in four colors, this basic PowerShot model has an easy-to-use interface, 2.5-inch LCD and a powerful 1cm Super Macro mode which amateurs will appreciate.
