Just a coincidence that my boss wanted a new camera and what better and economical model than the Canon Powershot A2200. The lack of IS definitely is a downpoint but rest assured it still not major enough to be a deal breaker. Compact body, 4 times the optical zoom, proprietary battery, 720p video recording and a sweet pricing of just under 400 makes this camera pretty much a bang for the buck.
No aperture, shutter or manual mode here. That's okay as more often than not, you just want a simple to use camera on the go. Who got time to fiddle with those setting all the time ? Only tested the camera on the way back to the office. Pretty decent image quality. Too bad didn't try it on a high ISO setting. On a small sensor like these, don't expect HS quality during night shot. Thinking to get one for my dear to ease her transition to photography world before jumping into the EOS world. :)
