The compact PowerShot A2200 digital camera proves that you really can have it all - in a color to match your personality! Gorgeous images are possible for any level photographer thanks to Smart AUTO, a system that detects what’s going on in the scene, then automatically and intelligently selects proper settings for the camera based on 32 pre-defined shooting situations. Capture memories beautifully either as still images, or videos in incredibly realistic 720p HD. PowerShot A2200 puts powerful technology at your command by making it easy. 14.1 Megapixels provide rich detail. A 4x Wide Angle (28mm) Optical Zoom gives you more room to compose your shot. The camera is loaded with fun, useful features you'll love, like Discreet Mode that lets you shoot in restrictive situations by operating noise - and flash-free, and Creative Filters for an easy way to add professional-looking artistry to your photography.
