| woodstudio_dt3000's Full Review: Canon PowerShot S200 / IXUS v² Digital Camera |
This is a great little camera! It is very small and tough with a metal cover. (I've accidentally dropped it a couple times in a Lowepro case with no effect.) It takes great outdoor pictures and indoor pictures (when there is enough light), and is easy to use. Mode switching between viewing pictures and taking pictures is very fast. The auto focus works very good. I recommend the highest resolution (1600x1200), lowest compression (SF), and ISO 50 speed setting for best results.
On the negative side, it has a 2X optical zoom, and the flash is weak. Though the flash works great when real close. Don't take pictures at night more than 6 feet from your subject. (I'm planning to try some sample pictures with a second synchronized flash that will go off in response to the camera's flash.)
I've used many digital cameras - Sony Mavica FD-88, Fuji ??, Canon S110, Canon S330, Canon G2, and Canon S10. I like the S200 for a portable point and shoot under the right lighting conditions.
