Love the SX200 model, one of the best of those released.

how much inches is the sensor size?

[Dragon888888888]

how big is the sensor?

[J40d]

sensor size doesn't matter, unless your planning on making a print the size of your home. in fact on these cameras, sensor size decreases image quality and causes a lot of noise that has to be removed by complicated software in the cameras computer.

[sasktank]

J40d-------sensor size DOES matter---it's megapixcells that doesnt matter much------buy a dslr--large sensor area = good pictures

[J40d]

it does matter if you plan on making big prints. if you want crisp clear images in a large print, then yes the bigger the sensor the better. this is a 12mpx point and shoot, not a 12mpx dslr. if he wants to make big prints, then he shouldn't be looking at this camera. the sensor could be the size of a microdot and it would still make good images for an 8x11, but if he wants something larger 8x11+ then yes noise is better with larger sensors. really he should be looking for less mpx, thou!

[andi1701]

sensor size does ALWAYS matter, regardless if you want to print big or small or not at all.

it highly influences the noise of the image.

or am i missing your point?

[ChristopherAdderley]

Yeah, its the number of mega-pixels vs the sensor size. It will make big difference in low light, higher noise scenarios.

The only drawback seems to be the battery! I would order it right away if it weren't for the battery. Why in the world would Canon make a "traveler's" camera that takes a battery that needs recharging?

[Dragon888888888]

Hi I have a fuji f100fd. I travel a lot and take lots of pics. Bateries on camera last around 80 to 100 frames.

With respect you should not realy be considering battery life as a problem. The practical option is to buy a spare batery and the charger with you. Voila easy! I keep the spare on me when i am out and use it if I get caught short on power. When I get back to the hotel I recharge. I think this should be common practice. You can get generic spare batteries for around £10 to £15

[FlorinU]

Hi, yes, that would be an option for "city travellers" mostly. I was thinking outdoors trips, as I mostly take nature and landscapes pictures. If I go camping for a week or so, I prefer to rely on plenty of spare AA batteries. I also understand this Li-ion battery will only last half the time a couple of AA's would provide. Anyway, two fully charged backup Li-Ion batts could be just enough for the outdoors too. Thanks for your suggestion!

Canon makes two major lines of consumer cameras. The A series, which uses alkaline batteries you can buy in the store and the S series which use rechargeable batteries, which are more economical, environmentally friendly and provided excellent battery life.

I prefer the rechargeable myself. I typically carry 3 with me, which gets me through the most intense days of shooting. Toss them in the charger and by morning, they're all charged.

[zxwesamxz]

you have a comact digitalcamera with 12x Zoom, manuell and automatic as well, 12,1 MP, wideangel....

What do you need more?

[lukanz7]

if this one can zoom during video ..is the lens noise hearable in playback ?

[PinePowerLI]

No optical zoom during video, you have to get the SX1 or SX10 for that.

[fedearos]

Can you zoom while recording like TZ5 ?

[Jayayess1190]

It's too thick. I love Canon's, but I am getting the Panasonic ZS3 over this.

[green4strings]

it's gotta be thick, it's supporting a 12x zoom!

[Jayayess1190]

I have a Panasonic TZ3 with 10x optical zoom and both it an the ZS3 are slimmer than the SX200.

[Stony1900]

Yeah but it also does 720p video at 30fps I ordered one of these already just because of all the different features it has.

[PinePowerLI]

Too thick? I find these newer models too thin, you need a good grip to get good steady and level photos. Plus the thin profile means a proprietary battery that has half the life as the SX110 which took 2 AA batteries.

[PwahTube]

Wow thats massive

I want :O

[KabbishComics]

£359 thats a great price actually, last year I bought an Olympus Mju 1200 (12mpx cam) for £220, but that puts out HD content, has a 3 inch screen and 12x zoom? Well worth it!

[teamayayo]

awesome!

[wellthenscrewna]

[eSilva90]

[ShuffledNoise]

wow..nice :O.
