Introduce the camera Canon Powershot A2300.
This is a simple camera, of 16 mega pixels, with easy-to-use functions to the user beginner in photography.
As the model was purchased for my wife, the color chosen was the rose. The paint is dull and very well made.
At the top we have the shutter button, the ON-OFF and the video camera microphone.
The screen is just 2.4 inches, and this is a problem with this camera. The screen resolution is too low and we have the impression that the picture was bad. But that's just a limitation of the display, on the computer screen is good.
At the bottom we have the location for the battery and the SD card. A tip for camera buyers inexperienced: never buy cameras powered by AA batteries thinking of replacing them with rechargeable batteries, It is a drug. The best camera is powered by lithium-ion batteries as this.
I forgot to put the memory card in the picture below, but to show the display.
A huge advantage in relation to cell phone cameras is the lens, that allows an optical zoom 5 times and a much better photo.
Below is the photo of the manual that was taken using my cell phone Jiayu G3, the official phone of all photos from TudoVemdaChina.
Now look at the same photo taken using a Canon PowerShot camera A2300: less noise and more details.
The menu is quite simple to use. Even too simple. I think that lacked options for the user, but the idea is to simplify so that anyone can handle anything. We find here options for turning off the autofocus and digital zoom, among other.
In this menu, you have options to turn off the beep, Show tips and format the memory card.
The LCD screen has a good angle of visibility.
Look at the information on the screen when you take a picture: I'm using the option “LIVE” seeking the best option for the desired situation. As I'm very close to the object it automatically activated the option macro and flash.
On the side of the camera a mini USB connector a bit different from normal. I think it is possible to connect the camera to a monitor using a special cable, but this does not come with the camera.
One thing I never understood is why mobile phones carry their batteries and cameras require external charger. This is the case for the Powershot A2300, that has the charger shown below.
In my camera came a 4 GB memory card, but I think that has nothing to do with the Canon. You can get around to 1000 full-resolution photos with the 4 GB card.
A mini USB cable comes with the camera to connect it to the computer. Works first without drivers or installation.
This horrible cable connects to the battery charger. A generic charger small would be good for easy transport.
Manual, Warranty and that the installation CD that I never use.
Here are some photos taken with this camera, in maximum resolution, the mobile Jiayu G3 in test mode display.
A picture closely, showing the ability to macro.
A picture of my booth books, with various details.
Now a picture of the same location using the Optical Zoom in 5 times.
Cell phone photo Jiayu G3 showing a checkerboard in the maximum resolution.
I tried to check for interference in high frequency with this camera, but I didn't understand any defect.
To summarize: It's a nice camera, but the resolution of the display could be better. There could be also more photo control options. One of the things that bothered me was the fact record videos up to 720 p, While virtually all Chinese models go up to 1080 p.
But what matters is the quality of photo, and this camera has that to spare, In addition to great auto adjustment system to choose the best option in the situation presented.
Those interested in buying it I found it in American stores and Fast. I also found a battery backup in DealExtreme:

Hello,
Does the camera in AV output shows the screen while shooting?
That is the live screen.
I would like to buy one for a multicoptero and send the signal
video by issuer to monitor the framework.
Thank you

I don't think it works showing the screen while shooting. I have a video and audio cable for another camera but it didn't work, the camera does not come with audio and video cable. But the screen disappears when play videos or see pictures, but is normal while shooting, which makes me imagine that there's only external video signal while watching photos or play videos.
