5 Stars Best I’ve ever owned!
It is so easy to use! But also take the best pictures of any camera I’ve ever owned! The pictures in low light have even turned out! I haven’t even had to use anything but auto yet! If I try manual who knows how much more I can do! The zoom is so much more then I’ve got with any other camera. LOVE IT!
4 Stars Excellent!
This is a great camera- the macro is just as amazing as I expected. My only complaint is that the image quality is a little worse in low light, but that may be just in comparison to the superb macro images.
5 Stars Best point and shoot I’ve ever used!
I did a lot of research before purchasing this camera, and I can now safely say that I made the right choice when I bought the SX200. The picture quality is excellent, the full assortment of manual controls is great, and the overall build quality of the camera is second to none. I have yet to encounter an aspect of the camera which I do not like. I would have thought the ever-present pop-up flash would be distracting and cumbersome, but you really don’t notice it at all. Another aspect of this camera that really impresses me is how fast you can take multiple pictures. In good light, I can easily squeeze off three pictures in less than two seconds. That’s a great feature that no other P&S I’ve ever used has been able to match. Overall, I really can’t see how you can go wrong with the SX200 and I would recommend it to anyone looking for something more than your average P&S camera.
5 Stars An Excellent Purchase! Very happy!
The first digital camera I owned was a Canon, and it had gone everywhere with me for 6 years and outlived many cameras owned by friends and family. So when it came time to purchase another camera, I didn’t look anywhere but to Canon. I initially was going to go up to the DSLR, but with all of the outstanding specs and reviews attached to this camera, I decided to give it a chance and I am extremely happy that I did. Not only is this camera a steal for its price, but it is very comparable in quality of pictures to that of the DSLR without the fuss and baggage. This camera, while bigger than the PowerShots, is still compact enough to fit in your pocket, purse, or whatnot, for easily accessible photo opportunities. The variety of options for photo shooting (night time, aquarium, snow, fireworks, sunset, etc.) are very useful and provide for more photo options while maintaining excellent quality. It is also suited with a Li+ battery, as opposed to the AA battery operated Canons, which I prefer, and it has a remarkable battery life. The screen is large and the resolution is excellent. It does take some time to get accustomed to all of the new features attached to this camera, but once you do, you are limitless in the style and types of pictures you can take. While being a little less user-friendly than the PowerShots, it is still a relatively easy camera to operate. Overall I am very happy with this purchase!
5 Stars Great Camera!
Returned a Nikon Coolpix s630 because some pics were blurry. Not one blurry pic as yet with this camera. I had an old Canon from 2002 that we just loved. Hardly any bad pics from that camera either.
This is a great point and shoot camera with easy to use adjustments for an amateur like me. Highly recommended.
