Canon PowerShot SX200
12x superzoom
New superzoom model of Canon, the SX200 is a compact substantially larger and heavier than average. It is not really for the pocket. However, it offers a 12x zoom covering from wide angle to telephoto, which exceeds 300 mm, enough to attract fans who want to play with the zoom range. It also exits the automatic modes for shooting at his ease and optics is equipped with a true diaphragm making it a truly usable. The less attractive at the Canon PowerShot SX200 is the small sensor and with too many pixels. In practice, details of ergonomics are proving difficult, and the flash that comes out automatically as it needs it or not but also the obligation to pass through the rotary switch to record video for example. Not insurmountable, however.
Small sensor surface
Sensitivities basic picture quality is quite impressive with an excellent definition of chromatic aberrations very limited and qualities that keep well over the entire range of focal lengths. High sensitivity, no miracle: a small sensor and high resolution remain irreconcilable. Canon succeeds rather well the marriage but the performance is only average. Better to avoid exceeding ISO 400 … Also in HD video, image stabilization and not very effective and it is difficult to avoid jerks. The SX200 is more photo and video … If we can find a bit bulky and heavy, the Canon SX200 offers a nice contrast focal range and provides excellent images when light is sufficient. For you to see if it suits you!
