With a classic aluminium design available in black, blue or red the PowerShot SX200 IS packs a lot into a compact body, making it the perfect camera for the keen traveller. A powerful 12x zoom lens, beginning at a wide 28mm, tackles landscape shots or distant subjects with equal effectiveness. Canons 4-stop optical Image Stabilizer technology combats the blur caused by camera shake even at the telephoto end of the zoom range and in low-light situations.
Small on size, big on quality
Incredible 12.1 Megapixel resolution is captured by the cameras sensor, offering the freedom to crop or enlarge images to perfection with no loss in detail. Canons DIGIC 4 processor uses improved algorithms and calculation accuracy, allowing the PowerShot SX200 IS to deliver ultra-fast operation, and rich, low-noise images with outstanding clarity and colour reproduction.
Intelligent features for maximum creativity
For maximum results with minimum effort, the PowerShot SX200 IS incorporates a new Smart Auto mode and enhanced Easy mode. Both of these modes use Canons Scene Detection Technology to analyse the shooting scene in detail checking subject brightness, contrast, distance and overall hue then select optimum settings accordingly. Photographers wanting total control over their shots can switch to a full Manual control mode.
DIGIC 4 processing also drives greater accuracy in Canons other intelligent technologies. Improved Motion Detection and Servo AF aid blur-free capture of moving subjects, while i-Contrast brightens dark areas of images without blowing out lighter areas. Canons Face Detection Technology now includes new Blink Detection, to help avoid the disappointment of mistimed portrait shots. FaceSelf-Timer simplifies group shots or self portraits by waiting until the user enters the frame before shooting.

For moments that deserve a place on TV, users can supplement their still images with continuous video clips in breathtaking High Definition (720p). The integrated HDMI connection allows instant playback on any HDTV.
The large 3.0 LCD allows easy framing and detailed review of shots and movies alike, with a wide viewing angle enabling easy sharing. In addition, a clever new User Interface provides on-screen Hints and Tips perfect for users looking to learn more about how different settings affect shots.
