I had high hopes for this Canon A2000 IS because I really love the convenience of using a camera that takes easily available batteries, instead of one that needs to be constantly recharged. I was also looking forward to this model because Canon reduced the size, and for me, the smaller and lighter, the better. Unfortunately, Canon needs to go back to the drawing board. The camera is oddly shaped...shaped like a wedge. I dislike this wedge shape. The picture on Amazon doesn't show the wedge shape. You have to be looking down on the top or the bottom to see it. I don't really like the way the camera feels while holding it. It's not as good as some of the other A Series. The camera also feels heavier than I thought it would feel, based on the description. I expected the camera to be lighter in weight and easier to carry in my pocket. I am disappointed with the flash recharge time between shots. There is a good chance you will miss an important shot occasionally while waiting for the flash to recharge. The zoom while shooting video with this camera is digital zoom, and the results are poor. If you use the zoom, you won't be able to read words or see some things clearly. I recommend not using the zoom when recording video. Digital still pictures are the same quality you expect with this type of Canon Point & Shoot Camera, as long as you shoot at the low ISO. Once you try to shoot in low light or at a higher ISO, the typical noise level is there. I was hoping that Canon would have improved their image sensor on their $250 cameras by now, but they have not. The 6X Optical Zoom while shooting still pictures is great. Macro mode for very close up shots is great. The 3" LCD screen is very nice and clear (unless you are outside in bright sunlight, of course). Conclusion: If you really desire a camera that accepts alkaline batteries, put the A2000 IS on your list. If the battery issue is not important to you, I would avoid this camera. In my opinion, if Canon or any other company releases a better camera that takes alkaline batteries, you will dump this camera in a second. (I know I will.) I guess this means that this can be your temporary AA-battery-operated camera until something better comes along. If you already own a camera that you are happy with, this camera is not going to make you happier, and there is no need to buy it.
If you are a Photographer and you just started shooting weddings, you might consider start offering an Engagement Session to your clients, as part of your packages.
An Engagement Session is a Photography Session scheduled to happen few weeks or few months before the wedding date, where you (Photographer) take the couple (your clients) to some nice or unique place to have their portrait done. This Photo Session is the best way to show the beauty of the couple in a more artistic way.
Because you have planned ahead the location, time, props and etc, you must know about how much equipment you really need to bring with you.
Here is a list of what you might consider bringing with you for your next Engagement Session;
1) Camera
I know that you knew this one, but better be safe than sorry. You might also want to bring your backup camera. I generally leave my backup camera in my car, so I don't have to carry any more extra weight.
2) Lenses
There are photographers that can not go to a photo session without taking his or her whole lenses collection. Remember that this session is very casual, and you would be just fine with a single zoom lens; like a 15mm - 55mm. Depending on your style or the location of your photo session, you might consider bringing also your 70mm - 200mm lens as an option.
3) Flash
Most of the time you might not need to use your flash, but is always good to have it there with you just in case you need it as a fill light.
4) Memory Card and Battery
Bring some extra memory cards and batteries. You never know when you are going to need them.
5) Tripod
Some photographers feel more comfortable shooting with a tripod. I normally just bring my tripod if I know that I am going to be shooting late in the evening, but you can also bring your and leave it in your car.
6) Props
A lot of photographers don't bring any props to their Engagement Photo Session. I can not stress enough the importance of this subject. If you really want your photographs to look something special and unique, this is a must. You can bring some extra fabric, roses, or anything else that you think that would make your pictures look special.
Remember that the Engagement Session is the best moment to you to connect with your clients and show them what a great professional you are. Go ahead and have some fun, they will love you!
