Canon SX200 IS review, find out how the SX200 IS stacks up against the competition in our real-world review with in-depth image quality comparisons.
When Panasonic launched the 'Travel Zoom' TZ1 back in February 2006 the Japanese electronics giant established a profitable new niche within the digital camera market: the compact superzoom. For a short while the company's TZ series was the only digital camera line that combined a long (10x) zoom with compact and pocketable dimensions, and unsurprisingly the TZ series became rather popular with consumers. More recently though, probably inspired by Panasonic's success, most of the large manufacturers have launched their own contenders in the compact superzoom bracket, many of which show that their designers must have been looking quite closely at Panasonic's products before sitting down to develop their own models.
With 12x zoom and 12MP, Canon's latest travel camera takes on the Panasonic TZ7
Canon Powershot SX200 IS Review
The Canon PowerShot SX200 IS certainly delivers exceptional image quality when shot at reasonable ISO speeds. It has a nice, bright, readable-in-daylight 3” LCD screen and enough options to keep even an experienced photographer amused. The CCD chip in the camera is laden with 12.1 megapixels that, while delivering fairly large image files when opened, might be overkill for this JPEG-only camera. But you can talk to marketing about that.
The Canon PowerShot SX200 IS is a new 12 megapixel, 12x compact digital camera. Offering a versatile focal range of 28-336mm, 3 inch LCD screen, 720p HD movies, and full range of shooting modes for both beginners and pros alike, the SX200 IS wants to be your do-it-all, take-everywhere pocket companion. But can the Canon PowerShot SX200 IS beat the current travel zoom king, the Panasonic Lumix DMC-TZ7? Read our in-depth review to find out which one deserves a place in your camera bag...
