Summary: I Love It!
Review: I just wanted a digital camera I can fit in my pocket and walk around with everyday. This did the job. Not only that, the camera's pictures amazed me. I can even take short videos with sound! The first day I used it in public, people around me were amazed how tiny this camera is. I use to own a HP315, but the S200 beats it 100%. If there are anything to nit-pick about... I wish the camera can record videos longer than 10-20 seconds. Regardless of your Compact Flash size, it can only take videos that long. You need to keep recording after the 10-20 seconds. Also, if you want to Zoom more than 2x, try the Canon S330 or I believe the S230 has it as well.

Summary: Just a toy
Review: It's true that Canon S200 is compact, pretty, and well-designed. However, it turns up side down when talking about picture quality. I took some night shots and found unaccpetable outcomes. Usually, I don't use flash for night shots in order to get the atmosphere as much realisitc as I can into my pictures. Pictures from this camera look blur and grainy. Two Megapixel and three-point focus system don't seem to help. Transferring pictures to a computer is another headache. Unlike any other cameras, there is no direct access to a camera from Windows Explorer. I have to install 20 mb software and driver into Windows XP. After using for 30 minutes, I decide to return it. If you are a serious photographer, look for something else.

Summary: For Most Users
Review: This is my 3rd digital camera and by far and away the most simple to use. I have found the digital quality to be excellent. Downloading my pics is fast and easy with the software that comes with this unit. I believe this is a great buy for 90% of digital users who just want to take pics of their friends and family. Before deciding on this camera, I looked at many ratings of digital camera's on several different websites. I talked to several people in a variety of retail stores deciding that most did not know a camera from a pogo stick. And lastly I talked with many of the people I know who own more expensive models. What I found out was that the folks who buy more features and megapixels...generally don't use their camera for anything more than I do. I just got back from Vegas and believe that some of the pics I took are as good if not better than the postcards I saw. I would rate this product a smart buy.

Summary: 1000 pictures in 2 weeks Down Under!!!
Review: OK, I'll keep this short and sweet. I took this Cam to Sydney and Melbourne for 2 weeks and I am totally satisfied with its performance. Me and a friend each took one and we each shot 1000 pics and neither of us have 1 complaint about it! We took pics and video all day and night. Small enough to take with you even at night. We took great pics and used it in full tourist mode (on/off all the time). Not once did we run out of battery (taking 150/day at times @ 1600 X 1280). Just make sure you buy 128Mb RAM. One note, we took a laptop otherwise we would have been limited to the amount of pics (we would dump them off every day). It holds a killer charge, the movies while small and short give you added joy when you come back (specially in the taxi cabs and the clubs with music). In short, if you're looking for great pics, small cam and plenty of power -- this is the camera for you!

Summary: Great Camera - Not much changed since the S120
Review: See my review on the S120 because most things still apply. Canon made a few positive changes on the camera interface side but most things are the same as the earlier models (i.e. optical zoom, resolution etc.) The new battery adds a little life but nothing earth shattering.
Still the best camera out there for the casual photographer. I carry mine everywhere I go. As with earlier models:
The zoom stinks, not a camera for profesionals
The 8mb memory card is a joke, get a 64mb or a 128mb Even the new and improved battery isn't great, buy an extra one. Good luck!

Summary: nice camera..but...
Review: i bought this camera a few days ago (10days),got a special deal from amazon, especially the price drop right now.GOOD PRICE and GOOD SERVICE. i decided to get Canon S200 because of its "some manual" control (which i'm really looking for) plus the size. I had a chance to compare this camera to Sony CD mavica 300, which we owned but its bulky. The picture quality...mmm.. the quality is good but i still like the quality of the Sony MVC 300 (using 2 megapixel), maybe this is due to the "Carl Zeiss" lens. I took about 250 pics(10 days), my only complaint was that i been getting some kind of "snowflakes or "spotting" on my pics, about 1/3 of my pics have this. I'm not really sure whats wrong with it. First i thought there might be some kind condensation on the camera or in the lens but couldn't find the culprit. i also notice that the "snowflakes" or "spotting" only appears on a telephoto and dark shots.i'll be returning and exchanging this camera for a new one, i'll give it another try. One more thing i noticed is that the camera has some difficulty focusing during a low light + moving subjects (takes longer time to take a pic). well thats it for now....i'll tell more about it when i get the replacement.

Summary: Small Camera, Nice Price, and GOOD Results! A+++++
Review: This is my 4th digicam, the 3rd for Canon brands. I have powershot a20, a40, and fuji finepix2800. You notice that all I've been using is only 2MP camera because to me, 2MP is good enough for me. OK, Love this camera. Very small, same features as A40 in general. I don't really care about the zoom feature. I know it's only 2x optical + 3x digital zoom. But that's not really important to me. If you want zoom than buy yourself a high-end price camcorder. The camera has lots of features. When I first got the package, I charged the battery and it took only an hour to do so. Very fast. The body is nice, strong, and very fit to my hand. The battery somehow takes about 1 hour to fully use it even with LCD. I'm talking about constantly taking picture in 1 hr and the camera needs to be recharge. The results is exclnt in most cases with lots of effects such as black & white, sephia, vivid color and lots more..... I know you're gonna love this camera, cause I do. The reason I bought this camera cause I have a 3-month old baby boy. I just can't get enough of him so I want to make sure I can take picture of him every moment and every second in between. It really fits in my pocket without bothering me at all. The camera it's just somehow heavy a bit but still considered light. I was going to wait for the S230 to come in november but I think It's not worth the wait. Anyway, I don't need 3MP. I'm just an average users, not a pro. Just for fun.... P>So guys..... remember, digicam is all about having fun with it. Don't fall into 4MP, 5MP or maybe 6MP. The quality is somewhat the same. People has a tendency to get the biggest of everything to make them big as well.... typical human being.
Not everything big is always big, sometimes small things can bring you happiness as well. That's what I think about my Powershot S200. Affordable in price, powerful in features, and small enough to carry it anywhere you want to take it.......

Summary: Little gem
Review: Love this camera -- Have taken over 1,000 photos with Cannon S200 during two vacation trips to NYC. I run the camera full out (1meg/picture), carry two 256M cards, and recharge my battery every night. Pro -- Tiny, takes very good pictures, easy to use, fast. Extra praise for Vivid mode (my standard mode), lithium-ion battery (good for two days), included battery recharger (very light weight and no cable), orient switch (no rotated pictures), +/-2EV exposure adjust, Stitch mode (panorama photos), camera settings encoded into .jpg file, and good night photo capability (1s auto, 15s manual with noise reduction). Con -- Getting pictures from the memory card to the computer can be trouble. On my Windows ME the (autostarting) download wizard stopped when it hit a movie file. Copying from a card reader resulted in rotated images. The fix is to download the memory from the camera with Windows explorer or Cannon ZoomBrowser. Comes with only a wrist strap.

Summary: Awesome Camera!
Review: I just recently bought a Canon S200 and i have to say, It's ALOT better than most cameras, even some cameras of higher MP. This is because it has a movie recording feature (yes other cameras have this too) but it records with sound! It records about 20fps and maybe lower if u record at max. resolution (640x480). The quality is great(resolution goes up to 1600x1200), it features auto focus, and for experts, you can control the ISO (theres an auto option for newbies). And the reason why I didn't give it 4 stars is becuase in movie mode, the lcd kinda blurs and gains static which is annoying and the quality on movies arn't that great. But, digital cameras arn't suppose to have superior movie qualities, that's what camcorders are for.
