reviews
The following reviews for the SX200 have been obtained from the UK's leading review site and all help to reinforce the value and functionality of this camera.
Sandras, Chippenham
“The SX200 is small light and extremely easy to use. The quality of the photos taken were excellent, you don’t have to be an expert to use this camera. The wide angled feature is extremely useful, especially when taking panoramic photos, which you can also stitch together with the software available from Cannon.”
Julie, Portsmouth
“Small camera, with big zoom and good selection of functions for the size of camera. Selects best mode automatically, but has a number of options to set and there is some scope for manual settings. Good close up pictures. I'm very happy with picture quality, I have only just started using it, but, so far, it has coped very well with some difficult conditions and I am very happy with it.”
Mark, Birmingham
“Exceptionally good optical zoom, large and clear LCD screen, very compact given the large range of features, good battery life and rapid recharge. The SX200 is a really excellent camera.”
Gail, South Croydon
“It takes amazing pictures. On my last camera I always had to set up the motion function to catch anything not standing still, but this captured a wallaby mid-bounce just on the auto function. I love the scroll wheel (especially when you need to find the pic you want quickly) and the fact that you can bulk erase selected pictures rather than having to do them one at a time, or erase the whole lot. The LCD screen is a good size, and once you've taken pics and rotate the camera in your hand, the pic moves round too, a bit like on an iPhone.”
Clive, Stoke-on-Trent
“Excellent lens at both wide angle end and full zoom. Plenty of shooting modes and auto features as well as manual settings for the more experienced photographer. Large 3" LCD display. Good build quality.”
