I wanted a camera that had a high MP and high zoom that took great pictures but did not want the bulk of an SLR camera. I previously owned a Canon A610 which I loved but it was bulkier and had only a 2 inch screen. The Canon SX200is is much smaller and more compact but pacts a 3 inch screen. The zoom is 12x which is amazing. It also has a much faster speed on taking pictures and red eye correction. The camera says its red, but when it came it is more of a purple/magenta color which I actually like better but if you are wanting a true red this is not it. Overall, I have had the camera for a month and love it! Overstocks price and delivery were great! I had it in less than 1 week.
I'd been drooling over this camera for some months before Overstock put it on sale. I'd read many many reviews and used what I'd read to help me make my purchasing decision. The end result is that I don't regret purchasing this camera at all. I'm still floored by, and learning, how to use many of the capabilities of this camera. It's more than just a point and shoot camera. It's almost as if Canon is trying to make this camera a one stop picture taking and editing station. I've taken pictures that have red-eye in them. The camera can take out the red-eye after the picture is taken. And just for the record, the results are seamless and just darn amazing. After you've taken a photo, you can crop (trim) the picture on the camera without ever having to use a computer. During the cropping process, you can zoom in or out to get the desired image. You can change the orientation from landscape to portrait.It records video, which is like many other cameras, but you are able to trim the beginning and end of the video footage on the camera itself.Honestly, this camera has way too many really cool functions to put all into one review, but it's well worth every penny.
Other than feeling a little delicate, this camera's great! The Zoom is fantastic! It was just what I was looking for to Photograph my Son's Lacrosse games. Without a huge bulky Zoom lens. I was specifically looking for a Cannon as their service department has been wonderful in the past.
Everything that I expected...great product and great service.
I haven't had a chance to use all of its features however what I have done I have found very easy. Thepictures have turned out great.
This camera really does have a brain, it captures the best of what I want to shoot. We live in the mountains and the 12x zoom brings allows me to take pictures fthat I couldn't take before. Additionally it is great with active kids and changing light. I shopped and found better prices which turned out to be come on because the better price did not include a battery on memory card.
I was looking for an easy to use camera with a larger zoom than I already had. This camera fits the bill perfectly! Downloading and uploading whatever from the camera is amazingly easy. I also needed a camera that had a cover over the USB port. Trust me when I say this feature is important if you spend any time outside or on a beach. This camera for the price and all the features and ease of use????? A-MA-ZING!
this is the best camera for compact digital. It is so easy to use my seven year old is taking pics. the digital zoom is high quality. This is the best camera for the value. Check it out.
Nice camera and Overstock offering it lowest price in the market. Delivery time also very fast with any shipping charge or minimal shhiping charge
Amazing pics and video. Complete value for money.
Great camera. Easy to operate, takes great pictures, and the 12mp optical zoom is great. The camera is compact and easy to carry. Wish it came with a camera case, but it should be easy to buy one that will fit.
This is a fantastic camera, takes great pictures, I'm really enjoying it and highly recommend buying it for the holidays.
The Cannon SX200 IS camera is real easy to use. The telephoto and wide angle features are easy to use too. My brother in law recommended this camera and he didn't steer me wrong.I'd recommend it also.
Easy to use and takes great pictures, everyone comments about the large screen. This is my first camera and I have had no problems with it's operation. I would definitely recommend this camera and the great price and shipping from Overstock!
This is an upgrade from my previous camera. I am a loyal Canon product user and have always had terrific results, and this is no different. Pictures are sharp and clear; the zoom is so much better than my previous; large display screen is a plus. I gave a 4 for ease of operation only because it seems a bit more complicated to use all the features, but don't let that scare you. Put it on Automatic and you will get the result you want. I've read through the manual and have played with some of the features so I just have to get used to using them. Lots it will do that I didn't expect. Buy this. It is a great value for the price.
Wonderful product. Cheap shipping and quick delivery. Overall, very satisfied with the overstock experience. The camera is great and easy to use. Takes fantastic photos!
I am pleased with the camera except for the automatic flash which pops up where you usually position your left hand. I hope I don't break it while using It.
I bought this camera before I went on vacation and I have been extremely pleased with the ease of operation and the quality of pictures. The zoom is more than adequate for what I wanted. The features are easy to understand and use. I especially like the fact that the messages appear on the screen in large enough type for me to read without putting on my reading glasses! What a plus! The editing features are easy to use and work great. There are a couple of physical features about the camera that I'm not crazy about. The "pop-up" flash feature is annoying for me and looks rather fragile. Also, the little compartment on the side that you open to connect the camera to a computer is attached by some flimsy looking rubber strips. So far no problem, but that does look like something that could break easily if you're not careful. FYI: I did discover that if you put a screen protector over the display screen, you can use the camera in full sun and still see the image you are shooting. What a helpful discovery!
