Canon A2200 14.1-megapixel PowerShot digital camera

Photos made fun

Getting the pictures you want shouldn't require a degree in aerospace engineering. When the moment comes, you should be able to just aim and hit a button and get a great picture whether you're cheering on the sidelines for a rainy-day soccer game, or getting together with friends for a sun-filled day at the beach. The Canon A2200 camera lets the camera do the less-than-fun work of adjusting the aperture, color balancing, and focusing with its Smart Auto functionality that analyzes the scene and chooses the best settings for you. Built-in face detection helps make sure that your most important subjects stay in focus, and a variety of smile and wink detection modes make sure that you avoid those in-between moments you don't want. The A2200 makes taking pictures simple because, after all, it's not rocket science.
