Canon PowerShot SX200 IS Unboxing

[FreshMoe95]

would you prefer this or the nikon s8000?

[Elektrooow]

Have this one too.. really excited about it :)

[xoxoNtheoneandonly]

I have this cam since 2 days and I'm really disappointed. In the automatic mode about 90% of all the pictures aren't sharp or the picture quality is quite bad. I first thought that it's just my fault, as I'm not an expert, but my dad, who really is one, took some pictures with the canon and they also weren't good. After all the positive reviews I read, I can't explain myself why my pictures are so bad :( So I'm planning to give it back...

Maybe you got a useful hint for me?

[LastStopReviews]

I seldom use the automatic mode. I use mainly manual so I can get the perfect manual focus and exposure settings. What types of shots are you taking that way I can suggest the best settings.

[xoxoNtheoneandonly]

First: thanks a lot for your quick answer.

Today when I was out with my dog for example I took a cuple of pictures of the winter landscape (we don't have snow here, so there are just bare trees and things like that) and 2/3 of the pictures aren't sharp and the colour of those which are, are so.. pale, not true to life. I'm really stumped... Do you think that it is possible or realistic that I have got a defective camera?

[LastStopReviews]

I mean it's always possible, when it comes to winter settings though I've found it best to use Program mode with a lower exposure mode (if you had snow). Since you're shooting your dog though try the sports setting, on the dial it looks like a person with an animal symbol. That setting is geared more towards activity and you will get less blurring.

[TravvyG]

How many shots can you get out of one charge? And does this support SDHC? And want memory card compactity can this support?

[thekeddi]

That flash would drive me insane! Nice camera otherwise!

[feffany]

Ahhh. I just ordered mine. I can't wait to get it. It looks sharp!

[rachaelburrows]

I just got this last week love it way better then my SD1000

[sserschens]

i just bought one too as an upgrade to my sd1000. :)

[xzord10]

hey, i am getting a new camera my budget is around 550$ (actualy 500 euro) which would you recomend??

i was going to get a DSL but its too big to take every where i never leave home without my camera, even to just go to school.

[LastStopReviews]

I've only been using this camera for a few weeks, but I really like it. It's manual mode offers great customization.

Another camera you might want to look into is the Lumix ZS3-TZ both these have the megazoom, and are top in their class.

more MP != better....sigh

[LastStopReviews]

I never said that.

Most people can get by with a simple 7MP camera because the largest they will view their photos is 1920x1080. It's only beneficial to get more MP if you are planning on printing large photos.

[mocciat]

[qwertyriffic]

great unboxing!!

5/5

[ktdid525]

Great unboxing, can't wait to see the review. The camera looks awesome. I think Canons are the best. I can't wait to see some of the pictures you shoot with it. Are you going to show some of the pics in your review video of the camera? Do you have a tripod that will fit it?

[acpequeno]

damn 12x zoom is rediculous

[daapc10hotmailcom]

haha is this the vid u were talking about?

and thats is incredible that a 12x zoom can fit in that luttle thing!!!!

snd for 100 less you can get my cam lol fujifilm s2000HD but i know canon makes great cameras!

and mine has a 15x zoom shoots 720p and has all those features and many more look it up on yt

[LastStopReviews]

No it was going to be this intro but i changed it. I'll let you know what intro is meant for you lol.

Oh, and i looked at the Fujifilm and that looks nice, but i like the more compact body.

[daapc10hotmailcom]

yeah ok lol,

and yeah i used to have a casio exilim (very slim) and then i got this for photography class and then i started making videos and it worked out bc it shoots HD!

[LastStopReviews]

Ya i had an exlim Ex-s10. I wasn't fond of it, after only about 8 months of use a few of the buttons stopped working, so i sold it.

[daapc10hotmailcom]

yeah mine was great it even had a yt shooting mode but i didnt shoot videos back then lol but it worked out geat i mean your camera is not thin but its hella small for a 12x zoom!

[LastStopReviews]

Ya, the lumix ZS3 is really thin too, with very similar specs, but the aperture range on it is a lot smaller than on the Canon.

[BDogbz]

Great unboxing nick. You should keep the old intro as a teaser. But great unboxing

[ShreddedCheese55]

canons are great

i have a canon digital camera (cant remember what kind)

and the canon vixia HV30 HD camcorder.

[iLatifi4]

[wwwinsanelygreatmac]

Canon makes great gear. Love my Rebel. Nice first look.

[LastStopReviews]

I used to have the Rebel XT, that camera was awesome. Sad I sold it.
