Canon Powershot SD200 Review

Canon-powershot-200-sizeThe Canon Powershot SD200 micro digital camera takes a great picture for a camera its size. Bob Atkins at Photo.net has a good review of the camera. “You don’t buy an SD200 (or SD300/400) for advanced photography. You can get cameras with more capability (aperture priority, shutter priority and manual exposure for example) for the same price or maybe less (e.g. Powershot A510 or Powershot A520) However they are larger and the major reason you’d buy an SD200 is because it’s small. Despite the lack of full manual control, I still like the SD200. In fact I bought one myself so I’d have a camera that I can carry with me at all times. Image quality is quite good and you do have manual control over almost everything except for exposure (and even there you do have exposure compensation). You also get some remarkably good video modes (with audio) including 640×480 at 30fps. The 3.2MP is enough for excellent 4×6 and 5×7 prints and even 8×10 doesn’t look too bad. The price (currently under $180) is pretty low too. If you want more pixels, the SD300 has 4MP  and the SD400 (around $265) has 5MP   in essentially the same camera body with the same camera features. The step up from 3.2MP to 4MP is pretty insignificant, so if you want more pixels than the SD200, I’d go to the 5MP SD400.”
