    From the Manufacturer

    Creating gorgeous images is more fun than ever with the sleek, impressively-equipped PowerShot SX200 IS. Capture close-up, wide-angle shots with stunning 12x optical zoom. Experience the unprecedented image quality and point-and-shoot convenience of Smart AUTO, along with enhanced operability and an intuitive new menu. HD shooting at 1280 x 720 pixels with HDMI output lets you see all the beauty of your HD images and movies on your HDTV.

    PowerShot SX200 IS Highlights

    12.1-megapixel resolution, 12x optical zoom with Optical Image Stabilizer
    For all its easy operability, the PowerShot SX200 IS has a feature set to be reckoned with. 12.1-megapixel resolution delivers a wealth of detail to every image, and allows you to crop and enlarge any portion of your shot freely. With the camera’s powerful 12x optical zoom, you’ll get up close fast, handy at sports and school events as well as everyday creative shooting. The 28mm wide-angle lens captures more in every frame, and gives your photography a professional edge.

    The PowerShot SX200 IS is equipped with Canon’s acclaimed Optical Image Stabilizer Technology that automatically detects and corrects camera shake--one of the leading causes of fuzzy or blurred shots. Even when zoomed in, you can get the steady, crisp, brilliant images you’ll be proud to shoot and share. And Canon’s Optical Image Stabilizer Technology is so convenient to use. It functions perfectly with or without a flash.

    Capture Your Best Shots Easily

    Smart AUTO intelligently selects the proper settings
    Just set the Canon PowerShot SX200 IS to Smart AUTO and you’re ready for maximum enjoyment from your picture taking every time. It’s a relaxing and satisfying way to shoot because you can completely concentrate on your subject knowing that the camera has the technical details covered. Advanced Canon technology intelligently analyzes your situation and shooting conditions. Then it automatically selects an appropriate setting from 18 specially defined settings. So whether you’re photographing flowers, a captivating sunset, or your friends at the park, you can be confident that you’re getting dramatic, memorable images.

    Shooting Modes
    Advanced presets for the best possible photos under certain conditions. With 23 Shooting Modes including 11 Special Scene Modes, you’re ready for whatever shot comes your way

    HD movie shooting capability plus HDMI output
    The PowerShot SX200 IS lets you record video in beautiful high definition (1280 x 720 pixels). The camera also makes it easy to enjoy HD movies (and still photos) on your HDTV with an mini-HDMI connector for direct connection to a high-definition monitor. You’ll enjoy the HD experience with no degradation of image or audio in the signal, plus the ability to display up to 130 still images at once.

    Blink Detection
    Blinking subjects can ruin the best shots, and the problem usually isn’t detected until it’s too late to do anything about it. The PowerShot SX200 IS is equipped with Canon’s new Blink Detection to combat this common image flaw. The feature uses the power of Face Detection to determine whether any subject in the previous shot had closed eyes. If closed eyes are detected, a "blink warning" icon appears for 3 seconds, allowing you to retake the shot before your subject or subjects move on.

    3.0-inch LCD with wide viewing angle
    The camera’s high resolution (230,000 dots) 3.0-inch LCD with gives you the big picture, whether you’re shooting, reviewing or showing off your images. This high-resolution screen offers a crisp, clear picture to make shooting, playback and using the camera’s menu functions especially convenient. Clear and bright, it also features Night Display for easy viewing in low light. It also has an electronic viewfinder that provides sharp images when you shoot close-up with Super Macro shooting mode.

    A World of Advantages with Canon’s Technology

    DIGIC 4 Image Processor has evolved Face Detection Technology that tracks the faces of moving subjects and lets the shooter enter the frame seamlessly with the Face Detection Self-Timer.

    DIGIC 4 Image Processor
    Canon’s most advanced image processor, DIGIC 4, delivers evolved Face Detection Technology that keeps every face in every photo looking its very best. The technology finds and tracks the faces of moving subjects until you’re ready to shoot, then delivers perfect focus. In addition, exposure, flash and white balance are compensated, so that faces exhibit natural skin tones and backgrounds are properly exposed.

    iSAPS Technology is an entirely original scene-recognition technology developed for digital cameras by Canon. Using an internal database of thousands of different photos, iSAPS works with the advanced DIGIC 4 image processor to improve focus speed and accuracy, as well as exposure and white balance.

    A
    Face Detection Self-Timer automatically detects an increase in the number of faces and makes the appropriate adjustments. For instance, to include the photographer’s face in a group shot, there’s no need to rush in. Just put the camera on a stand or tripod, specify Face Detection Self-Timer, and the camera will wait for the photographer’s face to get on-camera before it takes the shot. Motion Detection tracks moving subjects in a much larger range, and the Servo AF retains focus on a moving subject after the shutter button is pressed halfway--allowing you to wait for the perfect shot without refocusing.

    Intelligent Contrast Correction
    DIGIC 4 also makes possible the i-Contrast (Intelligent Contrast Correction) system, which controls the compensation level in pixel units to brighten dark areas while leaving bright areas unchanged for better images where the main subject is dark, and more natural transition. The PowerShot SX200 IS can even use i-Contrast in playback mode to adjust images that were shot without the setting activated.

    Red-eye Correction provides three options for removing red-eye from subjects in flash pictures.
    1) Red-eye Correction during shooting actually identifies and corrects red-eye in human subjects as pictures are taken.
    2) The PowerShot SX200 IS can be set to automatically detect and correct red-eye during image playback.
    3) You can manually locate any red eyes in a scene during image playback on the LCD screen, and command the camera to remove them.

    Life doesn’t give you second chances to capture special times. That’s why the PowerShot SX200 IS features an ISO 1600 setting that reduces the effects of camera shake and sharpens subjects in low-light situations, giving you greater shooting flexibility. ISO can be expanded to 3200 when you select ISO 3200 Special Scene mode.

    Great first impression- really a 5 star camera!
    4 Stars
    Great first impression- really a 5 star camera!
    I purchased the Canon Powershot SX200IS after much research on the web. I have been looking for a small camera that I can carry with me everyday: I'm doing the Project 365. I would still like my shots to be better than ones I take with my smaller point and shoot or my cell phone. I discovered these wide angle/ultra zoom small cameras and have been debating back and forth about a few of them. My choices boiled down to this one and the Panasonic Lumix DMC-TZ5. While the Panisonic has some great features, like the optical zoom in video mode with stereo sound, I decided that I was mainly buying the camera to take still shots and the Canon seems like a camera I can grow with as my photographic abilities increase. The Panisonic has no Manual settings, but the Canon has everything from Easy mode that just lets you take shots and chose whether you want the flash or not, to full manual. I first ordered the Canon from the lowest price website online and they gave me a run around including trying to sell me more stuff that I didn't need and extended warranty. As long as I was willing to buy one of their package deals, they had one in stock, but when I declined all the extra stuff they put me on backorder. I finally canceled the order and went to another discount site that looked like it had it in stock. After I ordered it my order showed up as backorder and that went on for a month. I called twice and was told two different dates, both not acceptable to me so I canceled that order too. I ordered it from Amazon yesterday and had it in my hot little hands today, less than 24 hrs later. Great service! It all boils down to you get what you pay for.As far as the quality of the camera is concerned, it is a little larger than my old iPod, but I like the heft of it; It feels substantial. It's going to take a little getting used to the power on button being on the left side of the camera; it feels better to me to turn it on with my left hand. I'm used to a camera with a grip area on the right side so I am going to make sure I use the strap as I am afraid I will drop it. The door for the battery and media card feels substantial as does the flash. The door where you hook up the cables feels a little flimsy though.I started playing with it the moment it arrived and, I have to admit that I had to check manual to get the hang of some of the features, like turning on the IS feature. (My husband was shocked! lol) It's not visible in all modes. I am pretty savvy when it comes to figuring out techy stuff, but this has allot of different features to delve into. I will read the manual all the way through though so I don't miss any of the cool features like doing some actual editing (cropping, red eye removal (not on pets!) and rotation). It even rotates the photos in playback mode when you turn the camera from horizontal to vertical.Overall I am very satisfied with the camera and look forward to many years of learning how to take better and better shots with this baby. I'm very impressed with the results I've gotten and, in the automatic mode, the camera senses what your subject is and chooses the appropriate mode to shoot in and it is very good at that. (See a shot of some glasses I have in a garden window. The room was pretty dark, but the camera compensated for all the light coming from the window. I was very impressed.) It's small enough to carry with me in my purse so I don't miss those important shots and it will be a great little camera to take on vacation with me. I love the 28-336mm lens and the fact that there's no lens cap to fiddle with or lose. I have taken some super macro shots (0-.79in) and they are amazing. I will post some soon.The camera fires up very fast so you won't miss your shots; seemed like less than a second from pushing the power button to ready to shoot.I thought I might be bothered by only having the display screen but it is very easy to see in bright light. It automatically adjusts for night viewing. I also understand that the screen is scratch-protected.One fun little thing I discovered is that you can display the time alone on the screen by holding down the FuncSet button and pressing the power button. This might be good if I need to check out what time it is; us retired folk don't have to wear watches anymore! =)One other thing I did was to get the 1300mAh battery and a 16 gig SDHD card which gives me about 5000 shots. It does not come with any media card.All in all, this is a great camera to learn on. It even has a hints and tips mode that you can turn on and off and, if your shot is overexposed, the whiter areas of your photo "flash" during playback so you could retake the shot if you want. I plan to update this review as I learn more and add more photos. I think this camera is a great value for the money. Good hunting and best wishes.7-4-09 - after having this camera for awhile, I tried to upgrade my star rating to 5 stars but the Amazon edit mode won't let me do this. I love this camera. And it's small enough to have with me all the time so I don't miss photo opportunities. The more I use it the more impressed I am. You can't go wrong!

    5.0 out of 5 stars Almost Perfect!
    Reviewed in the United States on October 17, 2010
    I love this camera! It is so close to being exactly what I wanted at a great price. I wanted a wide angle/big zoom camera with adjustable controls for going beyond snapshot taking that is portable, affordable and takes great pictures.

    Pros: It takes GREAT picture! (Lots of positive comments from people who didn't know I changed cameras.) The lens combination is what I like best. The zoom allows me to take candid pictures of friends and family without being intrusive. (Still visible, but not in their face.) Landscapes actually turn out and catch the essence of the beauty. Combined with the image stabilizer my photos have improved enormously!! I've used the macro and super macro lenses for flowers in my yard. They work wonderfully. I love that it has a wide angle lens and the 12 mega pixels is not the overkill that I thought it would be.

    The settings aren't all just gimmicks. I really can control what a picture will look like. Color, light, depth of field can all be adjusted without having to remember aperture and shutter speed settings, but you CAN use them if you're fluent in them.

    The image stabilizer works!!

    The video wasn't a consideration for me and I've barely used it, but it IS HD and looks amazing! The sound is pretty good too.

    In over a thousand pictures since I got the camera, I've only had two pictures with any red eye at all. Most pictures have been outdoors, but even so, the pop up flash (which hasn't bothered me) works great.

    As others have said, read and then reread the manual once you're more familiar with the camera. There are so many features, it's hard to remember them all.

    Cons: I MISS the optical view finder! The camera has some warning icons built in to warn you about possible closed eyes and camera movement which helps in bright sunlight.

    All flash options are not available on all camera settings. It is annoying to take a picture, look at it, realize it would be better with a fill in flash and have to change the setting in order to find the flash option.

    There is a bit of a learning curve to realize its potential, but that's also part of the fun!

    I gave it a 5, because I really love the camera and it seems to be an excellent buy!
