A2100 Discontinued
Received word today that the A2100 is discontinued and all stock is depleted.
This will be the first of many PowerShot related posts throughout December I'm sure.

OMG NO, NOT THE A2100!!!
hehe
Hej, All they have to do is revive the old powershot line. But they won’t do it.
::commits Seppu Kai::
PowerShot A1000 and A2000 series was a mistake. Canon should revive the good old PowerShot A series with P/Av/Tv/M controls and 1/1.8″ sensors.
“owerShot A1000 and A2000 series was a mistake.”
Please do not confuse your own opinions with facts and reviews of other people who are more qualified to judge cameras than you are.

Both series were generally well regarded.
The A1000 & A2000 may be good cameras, but they don’t fit very well in a lineup, kinda like GM’s pontiac & oldsmobile divisions. They were capable cars, but being squeezed from different lineups. Without manual controls, people might as well get the SD line which are sleeker and now fairly affordable. And the more advanced photographers want the SX, S, or G lines. So that left the A line without a home.
Please don’t confuse facts with reviews on sites whose income comes from click-through commissions.
Please feel free to show me reviews from reputable sources that are critical of those camers.
I think Canon should DEFINITELY upgrade the 500D and SOON. That “crippled” 1080p at a pathetic 20fps is going to REALLY hurt them sales wise as Nikon and the other competition start releasing consumer DSLRs with FULL 1080p video.
Other than that the 500D is fine. But trust me, the lack of true HD video is gonna hurt this model sooner than later.
If Canon TRULY wants to trump Nikon, they SHOULD come out with a consumer entry level FF camera. Not a $3499 3D. WTF is that??? WHY would they come out with a MORE expensive consumer FF than the 5D??? It DOESN’T MAKE ANY SENSE. LOL.
No. If Canon wants to hit it out of the park, and BLOW away the competition, an AFFORDABLE entry level FF DSLR would be a REAL game changer.
If they made the next 500D or the 60D a low cost sub $2000 FF camera for the masses, it would be AWESOME.
I think you mean “seppuku” (or “hara-kiri”).
We have yet to see anyone come out with a PRO camera with 1080p (except Canon), so they needn’t yet worry.
Nikon is stubbornly sticking to its 720p/24 strategy.
So is Pentax.
The only “SLR” other than Canon that shoots 1080p (at 24fps) is the Panasonic Lumix DMC-GH1.
Hej, and also for CHDK, it’s better to have manual modes and the dials and buttons which go with them.
Most compact cams are clones atm, canon could offer something different with the old-style powershots.
I wish they rename the A1x00 and A2x00 something else than powershot.
