SummaryThe PowerShot A2300 provides a good combination of features and ease of use in a slim and elegantly designed package. Most manufacturers have 5x zooms in their budget ranges so it's not a stand-out feature, and neither is a 16 Megapixel sensor, though you might question why Canon is increasing the pixel count on the sensors for its PowerShot A-series models when it's opting for reduced resolution CMOS sensors on its HS models. The test results confirm that, as far as the A2300 is concerned, more isn't necessarily better. Buy it now!Support me when you shop for anything. The Canon PowerShot A2300 is a budget point-and-shoot-compact introduced in January 2012.

It has a 16 Megapixel CCD sensor and a 2. Download Driver Wireless Lenovo G470 Windows 7 here. 7in screen with 230k pixels. The 5x zoom boasts a 28mm wide angle and a bright f2.8 maximum aperture, an improvement on the 4x zooms of the 2011 budget PowerShots. The A2300 lacks the optical image stabilisation of higher end PowerShot and IXUS models, but Canon has provided a low light stacking mode that it calls ‘Digital IS’. If the A2300 is to replace last years A2200, then Canon hasn’t yet removed it from the PowerShot range. When it was released, the 14 Megapixel, 4x zoom A2200 was the slimmest A series compact yet produced, but the A2300 is slimmer and lighter still.

It’s not the least expensive nor the most basic PowerShot, that honour belongs to the larger and heavier PowerShot A810 (and the optical viewfinder equipped A1300) which is powered by a couple of AA batteries. Moving up the range, the PowerShot A2400 IS shares almost the exact same specification, but adds optical image stabilisation. The other two models are the touch-screen A3400 IS and the top of the range PowerShot A4000 IS with an 8x zoom and 3 inch LCD screen. In this review I’ve compared the A2300 with its more capable stablemate the A3400 IS.

The A2300 and A2400 IS are similar in all but optical image stabilisation and there’s only a few dollars difference in price, so it’s an easy call to decide whether that’s worth it to you. But the PowerShot A3400 IS has more to offer than optical image stabilisation, it boasts a 3 inch touch screen. Read my full review to discover whether those features are worth paying the extra for, or if the budget A2300 is the ultimate value for money PowerShot. Canon PowerShot A2300 Design and controls Every year the budget PowerShot A range seems to grow closer in design to Canon’s premium IXUS / ELPH range and, from the front at least, it would be easy to mistake the PowerShot A2300 for an IXUS / ELPH. The bold styling that used to define A series PowerShots has been gradually toned down and the front of the A2300 is comparatively featureless. No two tone colour scheme, no raised or bulging handgrip, just a plain elegant expanse of silver, red, black or blue plastic with the raised Canon badge providing something for your fingers to gain a purchase on. The front surface curves gently round to the top and bottom panels and the effect resembles a bar of soap – at least if they made very slim bars of soap.

The retracted lens sits flush with the front panel and the only other features here are the built-in flash and an LED AF illuminator. The back of the A2300 is finished in matt black and it doesn’t look quite as elegant as the front, or for that matter as the two tone A3400 IS, the raised and bevelled LCD panel gives it a slightly dated look. The control layout is functional with a four-way controller at the centre and four glossy black buttons surrounding it. There’s a dedicated movie record button and alongside it a button labelled with a question mark which activates the on-screen help system. To dedicate one of only a handful of external controls to the help system shows that this model is squarely aimed and beginners and casual snappers. The two remaining buttons below the four-way controller activate playback and the the menu system. The PowerShot A2300’s 2.7 inch LCD screen has 230 thousand pixels, in terms of specification this is now pretty much the de facto standard for budget compacts and while it obviously doesn’t provide as big and clear a view as the 3 inch touch screen on the A3400 IS, it’s bright and contrasty and you have to look hard to notice the slight pixellation that’s visible on a screen with this resolution.
