Introduction:  Bearing a hard-to-miss resemblance to the earlier A 2000 IS model; the A2100 IS digital camera of Canon is finding its way into the list of pocketable high-end digital cameras that will certainly deliver what all they promise. You can barely take your eyes off this sturdily-built camera with shiny black chrome body that lends a distinct air to your shooting skills and will allow you to make the most of your prowess.

Features:  The A2100 IS comes loaded with a value pack; features that will help you derive more, shoot more and give a lasting permanence to your memories. The 6x zoom lens is one of the most striking features of this camera; it comes handy when shooting distant objects and helps you focus better irrespective of the distance in between. Make sure that you have a couple of AA size batteries before you kick-start your shooting-spree and the rest will be taken care of by the camera. The Smart Auto feature provides 18 pre-set shooting modes that will automatically choose the appropriate settings for your shot depending on the place and light.

Pros:

• The 12 megapixels resolution of this camera allows you to enjoy great prints of 13” x 19” size that too with an uncompromised resolution.  
• The i-contrast feature allows you to modify the contrast of your picture by tweaking the dark parts even while viewing in the playback mode.
• The embedded re-eye correction feature and the built-in flash, render blur-free images even when shooting in dark places.
 
Cons:

• This device is neither weight-less nor pocketable as its manufacturer claims it to be. It weighs considerably and can be ideally carried in a small bag.
• The camera functions at a slower pace when compared to its rivals.
• There is no built-in-memory and optical viewfinder in this camera.

Pricing Range:  Pay just 250$-330$ and this Black PowerShot can be yours!

Final Verdict: The A2100 IS model is an easy-to-use budget camera decked with all the latest features whose performance goes well beyond our expectations. The image quality and the overall functioning of the camera are fairly good with less number of scruples to worry about. A good camera for people with limited budget!
