Canon PowerShot SX200 IS review

 

The daddy of Canon's compact camera line-up

12x Zoom ; Good image stabiliser ; Decent selection of shooting modes ; Excellent images

No optical viewfinder

Almost a bridge camera to the world of SLRs, this compact shows us what a compact should do, removing the need for carrying a bulky SLR

Canon PowerShot SX200 IS review

The SX200 IS is a big departure from the bulbous plastic designs of previous SX-series cameras.

Canon PowerShot SX200

 

This camera is full of features, it has the ability to shoot photos in an extremely high quality, 12.1 megapixels, which allows you to make your videos large or crop them while still keeping them clear and crisp. The 12x optical zoom that this camera...

This camera is actually available in a number of different colours, black, blue and red. No matter which colour you choose the Canon PowerShot SX200 does look fantastic. The camera is very light and small too which is very surprising considering the...

Canon - PowerShot SX200 IS

 

The PowerShot SX200 IS is striking on the eye, with a shiny aluminium casing in fetching shades of black, blue or red. This is a much more substantial digital compact than many of its rivals, weighing ...

Despite being beautifully stylish to look at, Canon's new PowerShot SX200 IS does have some uncharacteristically disappointing design flaws. But these are more than compensated for by the excellent zoom, powerful processor and good quality HD movie...

Canon PowerShot SX200is

 

This is a little larger than the very popular Ixus range but still a good deal smaller than a DSLR or DSLR size type of unit. It certainly feels a little more meaty in the hand than its smaller sibling.

The PowerShot SX200is from Canon measures 10x6x4cm and weights 237grams, mine was a chocolate brown colour with chrome edges and lens surround. The lens moves out by up to 5cm and when the flash opens it is a minimum of 4cm from the lens. The 12x zoom...
