Canon PowerShot S200 / IXUS v² Digital Camera

Pros: Improved control layout, ultra compact, limited manual capability, photo effects mode
Cons: Poor low-light performance, 2X optical zoom, short battery life, tiny weak Flash

The first micro digital camera I ever used was the nifty little Canon S10, which I really liked, so I was really excited when the S100 was introduced almost two years ago. Despite its diminutive size, the little digital elph was a superb image-maker....

Pros: Small size, improved functions, stainless steel body, options!, and more
Cons: Short battery life, Weak Flash, and Urrrrr..... Needs more megapixels?

Searching the web for deals, I thought I stumbled onto a doozy of a deal on the Dell.com web site. Dell had a 10% sale off digital camera with a stackable $25 off $300 coupon. That meant the PowerShot S200 was under $300 bucks! $290 to be exact......

Pros: Even more spiffy features!
Cons: Still comes with only a 8MB CF card

I've been enamored with the Powershot S-series line of digital cameras ever since the old S10. When the S100 came out, I was enchanted by its size and stainless steel shell. With the S110, Canon added some nice features while keeping the overall...

Pros: small, takes great pictures, solid construction, great price
Cons: wimpy 8MB compact flash card

Background
I've owned the Canon S300, Canon S110, and now I own the Canon S200. I bought the S300 when it came out last year because I wanted a small camera, but I switched to the S110 because although the size difference looks small on...

Pros: Small, light, durable
Cons: Only 2X zoom

I bought the S200 digital Elph camera two weeks ago, and am very pleased with it so far. While I am new to the S200, it is my second digital camera, and this purchase was made after much research, and my experiences with my first digital camera, a...

Pros: Small size, light weight, bright LCD and manual features. 1 year warranty.
Cons: Soft photos, proprietary battery with mediocre life.

The S200 is Canon's latest pocket sized camera entry. In fact, it's one of the smallest on the market from any company. This Digital ELPH is the same size as the camera it replaced, the S110. At 1.1" thin by 3.4" long x 2.2" high it really fits...

Pros: Small size, great picture quality
Cons: Low battery life, skimpy size on included CF card

I bought this camera because of its small size, relatively low price, and good reviews from other Epinions.com members. Specifications: Res: Up to 2 Megapixels, three settings for size and compression Zoom: 2X optical, 5x total. LCD scree ...

Pros: Size and portability, it also has an excellent battery life.
Cons: Only 2 megapixels, miniscule zoom, some controls too small to be easily used

When I first saw the Canon S200 sitting in the digital camera section, my first reaction was "Wow! That thing is so sleek!" Only after having this camera for a while was able to realize the xcelent functionality and portability that the Canon S200...

Pros: Ultra small, but very ergonomic camera
Cons: Bundled software poor

Introduction

I went looking for a digital camera for my mother, who has neither photography experience or a high level of comfort with technology! A tall order in today's world. Ease of use was by far the most important feature.

A...

Pros: Jewel-like beauty will impress you and your friends. You can take it anywhere.
Cons: Indifferent image quality; very poor low light images.

As you may know from my other reviews, I usually buy paralyzingly expensive digital cameras. The bulky, chunky SLR-style camera was made just for me. But sometimes the neck aches from too much camera. When my D30 was stolen, I decided to try the other...

Pros: Great Pictures, good price, good size, metal case, compact flash
Cons: Software is bulky

Canon's PowerShot S200 Digital ELPH

What a great camera! Its small size, metal casing, great picture quality, and compact flash memory more than make up for the problems I have with the software.

Before you buy a digital camera you...

Pros: Size, Ease of Use, Movie Mode, Versatile Features, Photo Stitch Software for Making Panoramas
Cons: 8MB Flash Card (Included), Semi-Weak Flash, Short Battery Life, No Zoom with Movies

I’ve had my Canon PowerShot S200 Digital Elph for about 2 weeks and love it. It is the first digital camera I’ve purchased, and in comparison to the digital cameras that my friends have (Sony DSC-P1 Cybershot, Nikon CoolPix 775), the Canon...

Pros: Small size, easy to use, cool looking
Cons: nothing

When I got pregnant, I knew I wanted to take loads of pictures for the babies. I wanted a digital camera. We bought a S110 and it was very nice as well. We recently bought a S200. This one is even easier to use.

First of all, I learned about...

Pros: durable and stylish enough for techy college scene
Cons: only a beat too slow sometimes with the shutter to capture amazing blackmail shots

This camera was given to me as a gift after graduation from high school (because I broke my first one - an Olympus D460). I began to use it profusely, taking pictures of everything - from people to places, shooting mini video clips of random acts of the...

Pros: Super small, stainless steel body and simple menu functions.
Cons: Canon specific A/C adapter NOT INCLUDED and the measly 8MB flash card.

Why I decided on the S200 Digital ELPH:

I'm sold on Canon cameras. We've really liked the Canon EOS Elan-7E SLR we got a little over a year ago. It takes amazing photos and was an incredible step up from the dinky point-and-shoots...
