  • Canon Powershot S200 The “Micro” Digital Camera Grows Up

    Jun 16 '02
    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

    Summary: 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. ... read more

  • Wonderful STURDY Camera

    Apr 26 '05
    Pros: Video function, picture quality, ease of use.
    Cons: Battery life-AWFUL, small 8MBcard, hard to clean and get dust out of lens

    Summary: I was given this camera in August '02 as a gift after basic at the Air Force Academy. This camera has been to hell and back with me. Hall brawls, low crawling, being dropped, crawling through the snow, EVERYTHING. It even went through me learning to ... read more

  • A very good entry level for professional photography. Good specs, few features.

    Sep 18 '04
    Pros: Cheap, fast CPU, carry anywhere (small), very good specs, compact charger
    Cons: No profiles, No optical stabilization (too advanced 4it), weak zoom, crammed buttons, limited recording time

    Summary: My camera was bargain deal! I bought it to capture photos of my patients, X-rays and ECGs where I can't put them on a scanner. It turned to be a great tool, performing exactly what I wanted and more. The quality was very good except in some X-rays. ... read more

  • Canon PS200

    Apr 09 '04
    Pros: Pretty good build, good pics, great size
    Cons: batteries, hard to use, poor low light quality

    Summary: We've had this camera for a couple years now, occasionally using it. It's a good size, neither so big as to be cumbersome, nor so small as to just be hard to use. The outside is finished in decent titanium-look plastic, and it has an overall pleasing ... read more

  • Easy to Use, Yet Sophisticated

    Jan 27 '04
    Pros: fair price, many options, zoom, easy to use
    Cons: small memory card

    Summary: I decided last month that it was about time I purchased a digital camera. I have been using my normal Canon Rebel G for quite sometime now, and have always been pleased. However, film is expensive and so is developing. Furthermore, lugging a big ... read more

  • Not for Super Serious Photographers

    Dec 26 '03
    Pros: compact; great picture quality; ease of use; lithium ion battery; durable.
    Cons: unimpressive zoom; no carrying case; 16MB card; no battery life indicator.

    Summary: Don't get me wrong, the Canon Elph S200 is an awesome camera: it's super-compact, it takes great photos (clear up to an 8x10), it's simple to use, it takes decent MPEGs, and it looks way cool. This is the perfect camera for anyone taking simple ... read more

  • Greatest point 'n shooter around.

    Dec 26 '03
    Pros: Small, stylish, tough as nails, great picture quality.
    Cons: Slow auto-focus.

    Summary: I purchased this camera 16 months ago while stationed in Afghanistan. The environment was very dusty, and I knew that whatever camera I bought would have to be able to withstand the dust and a few bangs and bumps here and there. I already had the ... read more

  • Great compact camera. I love it.

    Oct 23 '03
    Pros: Size, Handling, Robustness, Picture quality
    Cons: 8 MB card useless

    Summary: Pros: I love it. I bought it as my first digital camera. And since I am doing a lot of outdoor photography I was looking for something more robust and something very small. I have an older SLR with metal housing that survived some pretty hard ... read more

  • Canon PS 200 Great for casual user

    Sep 22 '03
    Pros: Metal case (durable), more than adequate resolution, long battery life, light weight
    Cons: Poor focus on close objects, poor long distance optical zoom.

    Summary: The PS 200 is an excellent choice for a novice to intermediate photographer. I have found it very useful for climbing and backcountry travel as well. The combination of it's small size and metal case make it a perfectly durable camera. The Li-ion recha ... read more

  • The Canon Elph S200 is a GREAT compact camera

    Jul 07 '03
    Pros: Small size, great picture quality
    Cons: Low battery life, skimpy size on included CF card

    Summary: 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 ... read more

  • I love it.

    Jun 08 '03
    Pros: SMALL SIZE, good battery life, ease of use.
    Cons: proprietary battery and charger.

    Summary: Bought it from circuit city while I was in the US. This was an upgrade from my A series Canon. The size and the sleek construction is what made me go for it. I have always loved Canon's.... even from the days of 35mm SLRs.... This is my ... read more

  • Cannon Ixus is a great first digital camera

    Jun 03 '03
    Pros: Small, excellent picture quality.
    Cons: Zoom function is not great.

    Summary: I am nearly positive this camera is the same as the Powershot. I bought this in Australia and I think that Cannon has different product names for different markets. This was my first digital camera - the only reason I don't have it is that I left ... read more
