Canon PowerShot SD200 Review

Along with its “big brother,” the Canon PowerShot SD300 Digital ELPH, the Canon PowerShot SD200 Digital ELPH burst onto the scene just in time for the holiday season of 2004. Together, they replace the SD110 in the series of well-liked, compact digital cameras produced by Canon. The teeny-tiny, high-style Canon ELPH models have been incredibly successful in film and digital photography.

Beginning with the PowerShot S100, Canon’s Digital ELPH cameras introduced the compact size and stylish design to digital photography. But, of course, Canon has been a well-known name for APS film cameras for a long time.

The original Canon SD100 was the first camera to use the SD memory card format. The new Canon SD200 enhances the excellent printer compatibility of the series by fully supporting the PictBridge standard. The SD memory card format was introduced in the original Canon SD100.

In general, we have seen one of the most attractive subcompact digital cameras to this point: Continue reading to get every last detail!

Camera Overview

The Canon PowerShot SD200 is only a tad more compact than many of the Canon Digital ELPH models that came before it, but it retains the elegant appearance and sleek design that are the hallmarks of the ELPH line.

The PowerShot SD200 is a convenient point-and-shoot digital camera that is very compact and quick on the draw (thanks to a smoothly operating retractable lens design). In addition, this camera is a point-and-shoot digital camera with a handful of additional exposure features for added flexibility. Finally, it has a larger LCD than previous models of this size in Canon’s lineup.

The front panel of the Canon SD200 is flush and pocket-friendly when the lens is retracted, and its mainly aluminum body (the SD300 is made of stainless steel) is enhanced with iridescent plastic accents that wrap around the right side from top to bottom. The SD300 is made of stainless steel. The SD200, which features a CCD with 3.2 megapixels, can produce photographs of such high quality that they can be printed in sizes as large as eight by 10 inches.

There is also a movie mode that may capture short video clips with sound, as well as smaller image sizes that are suitable for transmission through email or use in web applications.

Special Features

• A movie mode that includes sound. (Up to 640 by 480 pixels, with a maximum of 30 frames per second; the only limitation is the size of the card.)
• In the Fast Frame Rate video mode with sound, you may capture up to sixty frames per second at a resolution of 320 by 240 pixels, and you have a maximum recording period of one minute.
• Modes for continuously taking pictures
• Panorama mode with stitching assistance.
• Focusing modes include infinity and macro.
• Settings for “My Camera” that may be customized.
• Self-Timer options of two or ten seconds for delaying the release of the shutter.
• There is a choice to record captions using Sound Memo.
• There are three types of exposure metering: spot, center-weighted, and evaluative.
• Adjustment of the white balance (color), with seven different settings and a Custom option available.
• Adjusting the colors may be done using the Photo Effects menu.
• Adjustable ISO setting.
• compatible with the DPOF format (Digital Print Order Format).
• A USB cable that may be used to connect to a computer (driver software included).
• A video and audio cable that may be connected to a television set.

The Canon PowerShot SD200 boasts a new 3x, 5.8-17.4mm zoom lens that uses Canon’s sophisticated “high index” lens technology. This lens equals a 35-105mm zoom on a 35mm camera (previous ELPH cameras of this size were limited to 2x optical zoom).

The aperture is adjusted automatically. However, the maximum setting varies depending on the lens’s focal Length, going from f/2.8 at full wide-angle to f/4.9 at full telephoto. In addition, the SD200 comes with a top digital zoom option of 3.2x, which brings the camera’s total zoom capabilities up to 10x. However, it is essential to remember that digital zoom degrades the overall image quality because it crops off the image and enlarges the pixels in the image’s center.

When using digital zoom, image details are likely to, become less distinct. The conventional AF mode’s focus range is from 1.0 feet (30 centimeters) to Infinity. When using the mThe 1.2 inches to 1.6 feet (3 to 50 centimeters). When using the macro AF modeMacro mode, a new Digital allows users to zoom in on their macro objects, essentially cropping the digital image to preserve only the most critical center part of the picture.

There is also a fixed-focus mode called Infinity that may be used. The Canon SD200 uses a sophisticated nine-point AiAF (Artificial Intelligence Autofocus) system to determine focus. This system employs a large active area in the image’s center to calculate the focal distance (a feature that has impressed me on many ELPH models and that I am pleased to see continue to be used).

You can disable AiAF by going into the Record menu on your camera, which will then set the focusing area to the middle of the frame by default. In addition, Autofocus (AF) assist light is also integrated into the SD200. This light, which a menu option can activate, serves to help the focus mechanism when shooting in low light.

The Canon PowerShot SD200 Digital Camera has a real-image optical viewfinder and a large 2.0-inch color LCD panel, which may be used for composing photographs. The LCDs have much camera information; nevertheless, exposure information, such as aperture and shutter speed, is not one of those things.

When in Playback mode, a histogram display will indicate the tonal distribution of a picture that has been shot. This helps detect whether or not the image has been over-or under-exposed.

The ELPH series of cameras emphasizes simplicity of use. Therefore, exposure control is often automated. This feature boosts the brand’s appeal to consumers of point-and-shoot cameras. The Canon SD200 continues this trend with several distinctive Scene settings. Still, it has a small selection of manual controls and several improvements to the PictBridge direct print capabilities.

The Function menu, which can be reached by pressing the Set button in the middle of the five-way navigation array, is now used to operate the primary camera modes. In addition, users may make their selections from Auto, Manual (which is analogous to Program Auto), Digital Macro, Portrait, Night Snapshot, Kids&Pets, Indoor, and Underwater using the left and right arrows on the control panel (used when the camera is operated in an underwater housing, available separately).

The shutter speeds vary from a one-fifteen hundredth of a second to fifteen seconds. The range’s one- to fifteen-second end is accessible exclusively in the Long Shutter mode (which also automatically invokes a Noise Reduction system to eliminate excess image noise in longer exposures).

In the fully automatic setting, the camera decides everything about the exposure except for file size, the flash, etc. Manual mode gives the user more direct control over the camera, including White Balance, Exposure Compensation, ISO, and a few creative effects; however, it is not a proper manual control mode because the user is not permitted to set the aperture or shutter speed settings and does not even have access to this information.

The camera’s functioning is easy, mainly consisting of pointing and shooting most of the time. However, you may adjust the focus and exposure by depressing the shutter button halfway. The little LEDs next to the optical viewfinder will illuminate to let you know when the camera is ready to capture a photo.

Recommendation

The Canon ELPH line of digital cameras continues to be a popular choice for many customers due to the smasmall size of these cameras and Canon’s well-deserved reputation for producing high-quality photographs. The Canon PowerShot SD200 Digital ELPH is an upgrade to the line. It has a 3.2-megapixel CCD for creating pictures with a high resolution, in addition to specific features meant to make it easier to print photos directly from the camera.

Even though most of the control over exposure is handled automatically, the fact that exposure lengths of up to 15 seconds may be selected and that the ISO can be adjusted dramatically boosts the camera’s exposure adaptability. In addition, the user interface is not overly sophisticated, making it easy for beginners and more experienced amateurs to feel at ease when using the camera. Additionally, sufficient control over the variable exposure satisfies both groups.

The Canon SD200 is an excellent choice for anybody looking for a friendly “all around” camera, and it would also be a fantastic “second camera” for photography enthusiasts to have for those occasions when they don’t want to tote about their full-size camera with all of the bells and whistles. (And with a stated price of an entire $100 lower than that of the 4-megapixel Canon SD300, it is a significant saving.)

Design

Even though it has more rounded corners, a somewhat thinner size, and a considerably bigger LCD than its predecessors in the ELPH line, the Canon SD200 maintains the signature ELPH aesthetic that is so appealing to customers. This style has been a massive success in the market.

If you want to keep that gorgeous finish from getting scratched, you’ll want to put it in a protective case first because the aluminum body is susceptible. However, the compact size makes it ideal for quickly stowing away in a pocket or purse without worrying about damaging the aluminum body.

Because the lens retracts when the camera is turned off, the front remains flat, highlighting the pocket-friendly form of the camera. Additionally, an automatic lens cover ensures you do not have to worry about smearing the lens or losing a lens cap.

The SD200, which has dimensions of 3.4 by 2.1 by 0.83 inches (86 by 53 by 21 millimeters), should have little trouble fitting into the pocket of the typical shirt. The camera’s weight is 4.6 ounces (131 grams) when the battery and memory card is included.

The front of the Canon SD200 may be identified as an ELPH camera thanks to several characteristic elements, including the lens, which is slightly off-center and angled toward the right, and the viewfinder and flash, which are immediately above it.

Next to the optical viewfinder is a light emitter that serves various purposes. These include helping with focusing, reducing the appearance of red eyes, and providing a countdown for the self-timer. When the camera is turned on, the telescopic lens swiftly slides into position and then retracts entirely within the camera so that it may keep its flat profile.

(The time needed to get started a lightning-fast 1.5 seconds.) A tiny microphone is built into the camera, and there are five holes to the left of the lens. Unfortunately, because no actual finger grip is available, you will need to fasten the wrist strap that comes with it.

The camera’s top has the Shutter button, the Zoom ring, and the Power button. The Shutter button and the Zoom ring protrude from the camera’s surface.

Right

The AV Out and USB port are hidden behind a door made of pearlized soft plastic and are located on the right side of the camera when viewed from the back. Just below it is the eyelet used to connect the wrist strap.

Left

The viewfinder on the other side of the camera is empty.

The rear of the camera

The rear panel of the camera has all of the camera’s remaining controls, as well as the optical and LCD viewfinders. The diagonal measurement of the LCD monitor on such a small camera is shockingly large at 2.0 inches. All controls have been relocated to the right side of the screen because it is so huge. Playback, movie, and record modes may be selected with a switch with three positions.

The button for the menu and the speaker holes may be found below this. Most of the fast settings are included in an improved multi-functional Five-Way Arrow pad, and the buttons on the sides of the place are responsible for both navigation and items such as macro and flash modes. In addition, the Function button has been relocated to the center of the Five-way, where it also performs the function of the Set button for selecting items from the menu.

The Display and Print/Share buttons may be found directly below this configuration. The Display button illuminates in blue when the camera is linked to a computer or a PictBridge printer. Two LED lamps located next to the viewfinder display the camera’s status. These lamps show when the focus has been adjusted, or the flash has been ultimately charged.

The Canon SD200 has a sturdy bottom panel that is lovely and flat. This panel houses the metal tripod mount and the battery and memory card compartment. It is a beautiful choice for those who want to take panoramas, as the tripod socket is almost directly below the lens barrel. Additionally, it is close enough to be centered on the body as a whole that the camera should set level on most tripod mounts.

The battery and SD, memory card slots are aligned inside the container. The cover for the locking compartment may be opened and then moved outward, and it has a little rubber flap in the middle. This flap conceals a hole in the compartment lid that provides access to the connection jack contained within the “dummy battery” part of the AC converter kit.

(The SD200’s optional AC adapter system uses a faulty battery that fits into the battery compartment and offers a socket for the AC power converter’s cable, just like many other Canon digital cameras.)

Camera Operation

The user interface of the Canon PowerShot SD200 is easy and reasonably simplistic, with a menu configuration and fundamental control philosophies that are comparable to those of the rest of the current ELPH line of cameras.

Most of the camera’s operations are handled via buttons on the top and back panels. At the same time, the LCD-based Record menu controls a select few of the camera’s settings. In addition, a Function menu gives you quick access to fundamental parameters such as picture size, quality, and exposure compensation while keeping a viewfinder display onscreen. This lets you rapidly compose and take photos without leaving the Function menu.

When you go home, this will help ensure that you have the perfect photo by allowing you to experiment with various settings on an essential subject. In addition, because the menu items are shown in tabs on the LCD screen rather than sequentially on a series of pages, the LCD menu system in and of itself is highly efficient.

In addition, the menus for Setup and My Camera are always accessible, notwithstanding the mode in which the camera operates. If you have the user manual available, becoming familiar with the camera shouldn’t take more than half an hour to an hour.

Display for Recording Mode

The LCD will either show the picture area with no information, the image with a restricted information display, or it will not show anything depending on whatever recording mode you use.

When you press the Display button, the available displays will cycle through individually. When the information display is activated, it will report the current resolution and image quality settings, the number of photographs currently accessible, the orientation, the Record mode, and a few exposure parameters (although not aperture or shutter speed).

Display for the Playback Mode

Playback mode has three display options: the picture only, the image with information, and the image with expanded information and a histogram. In addition, these display modes can be selected independently of one another.

You may also zoom in on taken photographs to check for fine details, focus, or framing, and the index display mode allows you to see as many as nine thumbnail images at once on the screen.

External Controls

Shutter Button

This button on the top panel adjusts the focus and exposure when pressed halfway and triggers the shutter when pushed all the way. If the Self-Timer is turned on, fully depressing the Shutter button will start the countdown for the timer.

Zoom Lever

Surrounding the Shutter button on the camera’s top panel, this lever controls the optical and digital zoom in any record mode. When in Playback mode, the wide-angle option brings up an index display, but the telephoto setting zooms in on previously shot photographs so that you may examine their finer elements in greater depth.

Power Button

This button, which can be found on the top panel of the camera to the left of the Shutter button, is used to turn the camera on and off.

Switching Modes

Just below the shutter button, but on the back panel, this dial regulates the camera’s operation mode, allowing the following selections:

Playback Mode

The user may replay collected photographs and videos, and there are also options for image management and printing.

Movie Mode

Captures moving pictures with sound, which in nearly all modes will record as long as there is space on the card (the exception is the 320 x 240 at 60 frames per second mode, which will only record 60 seconds of video at a time) (the exception is the 320 x 240 at 60 frames per second mode, which will only record 60 seconds of video at a time).

The Recording Mode

For still picture capturing. The Function menu is where you’ll find all the different modes, such as Automatic, Manual, etc.

Arrow Pad with Five Directions

This five-way rocker button is placed to the right of the LCD panel and serves numerous tasks. The up and down arrow keys are used to traverse the many options available in the Settings menu. When in Record mode, the top arrow allows you to cycle among Evaluative, Center-Weighted, and Spot metering modes.

The standard autofocus setting may be reached by cycling back around with the left arrow, which controls the Macro and Infinity focus modes. The camera’s flash modes can be accessed by pressing the right arrow button, which allows you to toggle between Automatic, Red-Eye Reduction, Forced On, and Forced Off, as well as the Slow-Sync option.

In conclusion, pressing the down arrow key will either activate the Self-Timer mode or the Continuous Shooting mode or restore the camera to its default exposure mode. It also functions as the Delete button while you are in Playback mode. This button also has buttons for settings and functions, and its use as the center button will be discussed in the next item.

In Playback mode, the right and left arrow keys allow you to navigate between the collected photos and movie files. When you zoom in on an image, each of the four arrows will pan the view in a different direction.

Push the Button for Function and Settings

This control, located in the middle of the Five-way arrow pad, brings up the Function menu in any recording mode and verifies selections once any menu has been brought up. The following choices are available when you press and hold the Function button to activate it:

Shooting Mode

Choose from eight shooting modes: Auto, Manual, Digital Macro, Portrait, Night Snapshot, Kids & Pets, Indoor, and Underwater. Other options include Night Snapshot, Indoor, and Kids & Pets. In addition, standard, Fast Frame (60 fps), and Compact modes are available in Movie Mode.

Exposure Compensation

Adjusts the level of exposure in one-third-step increments, ranging from minus two exposure equivalents (EV) to plus two EVs.

Long Shutter

It is possible to access more extensive shutter durations, ranging from one to fifteen seconds. (This option is only displayed after it has been activated through the Record menu; to access it, click the Menu button when the Exposure Compensation option is selected.)

A Perfect White Balance

The color balance of photographs may be controlled using this setting. In addition, you can choose Auto, Daylight, Cloudy, Tungsten, Fluorescent, and Fluorescent H. Custom is an option (manual set).

ISO Speed

Adjusts the camera’s sensitivity to the automatic setting or 50, 100, 200, or 400 ISO equivalents.

A Photographic Effect

Enables the photo effects of low sharpening, sepia, black and white, vivid color, and neutral color. Vivid color has a high color saturation, while neutral color has an intense color saturation.

Compression

Adjusts the JPEG compression quality to either Normal, Fine, or Superfine.

Resolution

The resolution of the image is specified here. Still picture resolutions include 2,048 x 1,536, 1,600 x 1,200, 1,024 x 768, and 640 x 480 pixels. In addition, a Postcard mode takes the resolution to 1600 x 1200 and locks the resolution to Fine for reduced file sizes. This mode also allows a date stamp to be put on the image. Movie resolutions are 640 x 480, 320 x 240, and 160 x 120 pixels.

Display Button

This button, located at the lower left of the Five-way nav, cycles among the LCD picture and information displays. It also has an LCD Off state, which may be used to save power when unnecessary. This button is the sole one that controls the information display when you are in Playback mode, and it also enables a histogram display of the picture that was shot.

Menu Button

This button, located to the upper left of the five-way navigation controls, provides access to the LCD menu system when used in either the Record or Playback mode.

Clickable Print and Share Button

It is possible to activate uploads to Windows PCs or connections to Exif Print capable printers using the Print/Share button. While you are ready to print or transfer photographs, the button flashes a blue light that lights blue when doing any of those things.

Options and Menus for the Camera

Playback Arrangement

Within this mode, you can cycle through taken photos and videos, write-protect images, examine a nine-image index display, zoom into a captured image, remove undesired images, rotate images, and set up images for printing on DPOF-compliant devices.

Movie Mode

Recordings may be made in either 640 x 480, 320 x 240, or 160 x 120 pixels with sound, depending on the resolution chosen. The only thing that can restrict the recording time in any mode other than Fast Frame Rate is the amount of storage space available on the camera’s SD card (and, of course, the relative battery life). (Each clip has a maximum recording time of sixty seconds when using the Fast Frame Rate option.) In this mode, you can access a small selection of exposure parameters; however, functions such as Continuous Shooting, digital zoom, and flash mode are disabled.

The Recording Mode

Places the camera into the still image capture mode; other record modes can be selected from the Function Menu.

Recording Method and Menu System

You may access this feature in the Automatic, Manual, Stitch Assist, and Movie modes by pressing the Menu button (some options are not available in all ways). In addition, the Record, Setup, and My Camera sub-menus each has its tab in the menu that appears.

Canon PowerShot SD200 Specifications

Conclusion

The ELPH name has become synonymous with high image quality and a user-friendly design, which is why the line is so popular with such a diverse group of customers. The digital ELPH series members have always impressed me with their quality and adaptability. This is an extension of the excellent brand name’s good reputation in film.

The Canon SD300, which we had previously evaluated, has a resolution of 4 megapixels, while the SD200, which has 3, is its “little brother.” The fact that these two models have a more compact build compared to prior digital ELPHs is undeniably advantageous, and the fact that they come with a wider variety of functions offers them an advantage over many other subcompact point-and-shoot digital cameras on the market.

The camera’s capabilities are significantly increased thanks to the fact that it is possible to alter the ISO and the white balance and access longer shutter times. However, the actual exposure management is still automated. It is also incredibly responsive for a subcompact digital camera because its high-speed DIGIC-II processing chip and video capabilities go much beyond what I am used to seeing from models of subcompact digital cameras.

We at IR all found that it was an extraordinarily pleasurable camera to use, and we adored the gorgeous “Canon” color output provided. This was also the case with the Canon SD300 that came before it. A further uplifting aspect:

Even though both cameras appear to utilize the same lens, our tests showed that the SD200 had far less corner softening than the SD300, which was the model that came before. (The corners were still slightly soft, but not nearly as much as we observed with the SD300.)
