I was looking for a new camera and this one was irresistible. I had a small Canon elf camera before and just wasn't getting the shots that had a WOW factor. After buying this camera and using at the zoo and the park I am very satisfied. Size This size is bigger than my elf but when you see the zoom lens expand it seems like a marvel. How do they pack this massive barrel in such a small camera? I showed my neighbor my new gadget and he was equally perplexed. How do they do it? Quality The feel is good with plenty of goods to have you going for months. The camera gives you a full line of features that make you feel like you are a professional. I took some pictures at the zoo of 6 kids. My wife told me the picture looks better than actually seeing them there. Now how is that possible I do not know but the color, contrast and skin tones are off the charts. Zoom The zoom is the ultimate feature of this camera. With a 12X optical and 48X digital you are in the driver's seat for some amazing photographs. I found that you rarely need more than 12X anyway. I was considering buying a 24X optical zoom camera that was much larger. After using the 12X I found that is about as much zoom as you want unless you are doing Moon Photography. Really, anything beyond 12X gets distorted from atmospheric conditions. If you take a picture of a landscape you will get a saturation of blue tones so the super ultra zooms are truly over kill in my opinion. Pros Zoom HD Video Battery Life Size Cons Flash-It is almost a deal buster-Pops up anytime the camera is on... Why?
Customer Review: Disappointed
Canon SX200 This is a wonderful camera and it should be easy to learn to use it but the instruction booklet stinks. First it is too small and the print much smaller than makes for easy reading. The pictures of the LCD are so dark I have to use a magnifier to see what the icons are. I have 20-20 vision so I suspect I'm not alone with my thoughts. Come on Canon, you make a fine camera but spend a few more bucks and make the booklet easier to read, esp. for the novice trying to improve his photo skills.
