With a sleek and sophisticated new package, the Canon PowerShot SX200 IS digital camera offers consumers a great compact camera with DSLR-like features. The PowerShot SX200 IS digital camera goes from wide angle (28mm) to a powerful 12x optical zoom lens (336mm) and with the added bonus of optical image stabilization. With this long-range lens, the photographer can get closer to the subjects or capture more in the frame.
The Canon Powershot SX200 IS is quite compact, making it a perfect take-anywhere camera. You can take wide-angle shots with the short end of the 28mm lens, or zoom in to a maximum of 336mm for a close-up of a bird at your backyard feeder. There is also the portrait function with 9-point facial recognition.
The IS (image stabilizer) allows the photographer to take a picture hand-held without worrying about camera shake, resulting in a blurry picture. The Canon Camera software modes include features normally only found on more professional cameras. User can select Program (P), Aperture (Av), Shutter Speed (Tv) or Manual (M). There are also the camera presets that are available on most compact cameras, such as sports, portrait, macro, etc.
Available in three colors, black, blue and red, consumers can now choose to personalize their camera to fit their lifestyle. High resolution, 12.1 megapixels, 720p HD movie mode and a large 3-inch LCD screen with wide-angle viewing complete the feature set. The PowerShot SX200 IS digital camera is scheduled to be available sometime in March for an estimated retail price of $349.99.
