Canon SX200 IS ReviewCheck out this Canon SX200 review to find out all you need to know about this digital camera. Taking a smaller point-and-shoot camera isn't a good option not only because of the lower quality image sensor, but the lack of zoom capabilities. The Canon SX200 may appear to be larger than some of the pocket sized digital cameras available, but it manages to squeeze in some telephoto functionality in a reasonably compact frame without sacrificing megapixel count. Camera Design
Several design enhancements were applied to the Canon SX200 and the end
result surprisingly distances it from its DSLR
relatives. But that isn't really a bad thing, because it still has that nice curve serving as the grip for easy handling and the popup flash makes the camera look a lot more powerful than the standard point-and-shoot ones. Although a viewfinder is absent, the LCD display is much larger than older SX designs with 230,000 dots of resolution in the 3-inch display. This forces all of the buttons to be placed on the right side and the rotary wheel for mode selection on top. The shutter button is well positioned and circular for convenient shots. It also comes in red and blue designs in addition to the standard black. Camera Features
Many improvements have also been made to the features themselves with
the presence of the modern DIGIC 4 Image Processor
topping it. This processor emphasizes on Face Detection Technology where better contrast adjustments are made automatically. In addition to the existing automatic red-eye removal technology, a new self-timer feature is added so that everyone can be in the feature including the photographer. Unlike other previous models, the Face Detection makes automatic adjustments when the photographer is in the frame. Group shots are sure to look their best with the new Blink Detection feature that allows a quick re-take when the indicator appears when once of the persons in the photo blinked. Even when taking shots where people aren't evolved, the overall image quality of the Canon SX200 is much greater because of the iSAPS technology that relies on white balance and exposure for a better output. The megapixel count is comfortable at 12.1 megapixels and the zoom gets some improvements as well now capable of zooming up to 12x. Wide-angle photography is also possible making it an ideal camera for professionals. Extra Features
Movie shooting has been greatly enhanced now supporting
HD capabilities with a built-in mini-HDMI
connector that allows connections to high definition
monitors and TVs.Up to 720p resolution can be recorded at 30 frames per second. The Canon SX200 is best at what it aims to do and it still has all of the high marks that previous models had like all of the different shooting modes that contribute to the photo quality. The HD is a welcome addition for those that do not wish to invest in a digital camcorder and the increased zoom adds more possibilities to an already excellent package.
