Great Price Canon SX200IS Black for $291.87

Canon PowerShot SX200IS 12 MP Digital Camera with 12x Wide Angle Optical Image Stabilized Zoom and 3.0-inch LCD (Black) Review


I like this camera. I’ve had it 6 months. It performs better in low light conditions than any point and shoot I’ve ever seen. The color quality is sometimes a little weak. If only SLR’s weren’t so large and expensive!

I love the pop-up flash because I really hate the flash and so I can just close the flash with my finger when I’m taking a picture and don’t need flash — instead of pushing the buttons on the camera. When you’re taking pics of kids and animals, that extra 3 seconds is nice; I actually think it’s pretty clever design.

I don’t know how they fit so much zoom into this little camera, but it’s impressive! I mean, it’s a lot bigger than the new tiny cameras – but it has a million features. It’s as big as it could be and still fit in your pocket, which is what I wanted.

I read it had crummy battery life so I bought two batteries when I got it for big events or camping trips so I wouldn’t have to have access to a charger and wait. HOWEVER like I said, I’ve had the camera six months and only had to re-charge the battery about once a month. I took about 2-300 pics at my brothers wedding and didn’t have to change the battery. So, I probably didn’t need the second battery but I don’t mind having it.

GREAT CAMERA – HELENA WEGLOWSKI – CANTON, MI
BOUGHT THIS CAMERA ON A CHANCE. I LOVE IT. TAKES GREAT PIX, ESPECIALLY GREAT FOR DARK SETTINGS AS CAMERA ADJUSTS AUTOMATICALLY WHEN SET ON AUTO MODE. GREAT PRICE FOR THE QUALITY OF PIX TAKEN.

Overall Good Camera – Alan Hardin – Pasadena, TX USA
Bought this camera to replace my 5 year old digital elph 5 megapixel. I bought this model for three reasons:
1. Because it’s a Canon.
2. Because it has a 3 inch viewing screen (I don’t know why Canon doesn’t include this on all models).
3. The 12 x optical zoom.

Overall this is a really great camera with lots of functions and takes high quality pictures. Not quite small enough to fit in your pocket but still a decent size given its functions.

My only complaint (and it’s a minor one) is the pop-up flash. I don’t know why Canon could not have put in a built in flash. It is annoying to have the flash up even when you don’t need it.

Love it – Casual nurse – Texas
I have had many Canon cameras, but this one is the best. Very easy to use and review pictures. The large screen on the back is awsome. Easy to delete, zoom, and pictures are true to color. Have not tried the movie part yet co can’t evaluate that part. Takes good pictures in low light and sunset pictures are great on the sunset setting. Transferring pictures is easy and necessary cables came with the camera. I did alot of research on cameras and the 12x zoom was a big selling feature for me. You can stand far away and get a more natural picture when taking pictures of pets or people without a pose.
The pop up flash that everyone talks about is anoying but not a big deal. I recommend this camera to everyone!
Shipping was fast and in less time than advertised.
