The Canon PowerShot SX200 IS a new Super Zoom model in a strikingly compact body. With a combination of high zoom power, high resolution and High Definition video capability, this camera lets you capture your adventures in uncompromising detail.
With a classic aluminium design available in black, blue or red the Canon PowerShot SX200 IS packs a lot into a compact body, making it the perfect camera for the keen traveller.
The latest range of Digital Still Camera products launched incorporate a new smart system that uses Scene Detection Technology, which along with other advanced Canon technologies, leads to one of the most comprehensive and clever AUTO modes ever seen on a digital camera. Whilst complex in technology, Smart AUTO still delivers the peace of mind and ease of use for point and shooters that has always been expected from selecting the familiar green icon mode.
With intelligent and integrated use of key functions such as focus, exposure, ISO sensitivity, flash, dynamic range adjustments and Intelligent Contrast Correction, Canon Cameras have never been so smart. Added to these Canon Motion Detection and Face Detection Technology plus advanced Noise Reduction, together with pleasing colour rendition all delivered by the DIGIC 4 processor, mean when selecting AUTO mode on the Canon SX200IS, users can be assured of the best in image quality even in more challenging shooting conditions.
A powerful 12x zoom lens, beginning at a wide 28mm, tackles landscape shots or distant subjects with equal effectiveness. The Canon SX200IS also features 4-stop optical Image Stabilizer technology that combats the blur caused by camera shake - even at the telephoto end of the zoom range and in low-light situations.
Incredible 12.1 Megapixel resolution is captured by the Canon SX200IS camera’s sensor, offering the freedom to crop or enlarge images to perfection with no loss in detail. Canon’s DIGIC 4 processor uses improved algorithms and calculation accuracy, allowing the Canon PowerShot SX200 IS to deliver ultra-fast operation, and rich, low-noise images with outstanding clarity and colour reproduction.
For maximum results with minimum effort, the Canon SX200IS incorporates a new Smart Auto mode and enhanced Easy mode. Both of these modes use Canon’s Scene Detection Technology to analyse the shooting scene in detail - checking subject brightness, contrast, distance and overall hue - then select optimum settings accordingly. Photographers wanting total control over their shots can switch to a full Manual control mode of the Canon SX200IS.
The Canon SX200IS also has DIGIC 4 processing that drives greater accuracy in other intelligent technologies. Improved Motion Detection and Servo AF aid blur-free capture of moving subjects, while i-Contrast brightens dark areas of images without blowing out lighter areas. Canon’s Face Detection Technology now includes new Blink Detection, to help avoid the disappointment of mistimed portrait shots. FaceSelf-Timer simplifies group shots or self portraits by waiting until the user enters the frame before shooting.
For moments that deserve a place on TV, users can supplement their still images with continuous video clips in breathtaking High Definition (720p). The integrated HDMI connection allows instant playback on any HDTV. The large 3.0” LCD allows easy framing and detailed review of shots and movies alike, with a wide viewing angle enabling easy sharing. In addition, a clever new User Interface provides on-screen Hints and Tips - perfect for users looking to learn more about how different settings affect shots.
“With a combination of high zoom power, high resolution and High Definition video capability, the PowerShot SX200 IS lets you capture your adventures in uncompromising detail,” said Rainer Fuehres, Head of Canon Consumer Imaging Europe.
