09.26.09
Are you looking for a handy digital camera that can provide you near professional results while remaining to be user friendly especially to amateur and hobby photographers? Then you get a Canon PowerShot SX200 IS. It is a compact ultra zoom camera which provides its users with 12X wide-angle zoom lens, full manual controls, image stabilization and Hi-definition video recording. It is considered the one of the best cameras of 2008, mainly because of its easy controls and highly functional features.
Why is this Canon Digital Camera a best buy? First, it’s light and handy, and doesn’t have an annoying lens cap that usually occupies an uneven storage space in one’s bag. Since this camera has a fixed, automatic lens cap, you are ensured that your camera’s lens is kept safe and would work at its best at all times.
Second, this camera under the Powershot series enables one to achieve better zoom details without affecting the overall resolution of the images. You will continue to enjoy crisp images even when at zoom level.
One of the best features of the Canon PowerShot SX200 IS is its software suite, called Canon Digital Camera Solution. It provides functions such as the PhotoStitch, which allows you to connect image shots in a cleaner, smoother manner (without the annoying grid lines). If you want a panoramic view and print of your pictures, then this software is definitely the one to use.
When it comes to battery life however, a fully-charged digital camera has a lower battery life as compared to its predecessors, so better have your charger handy when you plan to take pictures while on travel.
The downside of this camera is that it doesn’t come with a memory card, so you have to purchase one in order to start using the features of the Canon PowerShot SX200 IS to the fullest. Don’t worry, this camera supports various memory card types, including SD, SDHC, MMC, HC MMCplus and MMC plus.
