Key Advantages

The Canon Powershot Digital ELPH SD200 offers a high-resolution 5 MP sensor ensuring sharp and clear photographs. Its compact and stylish design makes it highly portable and user-friendly. The 3x optical zoom lens provides flexibility from wide-angle to telephoto shots. The inclusion of multiple exposure modes allows creative control for advanced users. The camera features a USB 2.0 interface, facilitating quick image transfers. Long-lasting rechargeable lithium-ion battery support ensures prolonged usage without frequent changes.

Limitations

The camera’s ISO sensitivity tops at 400, limiting low-light performance compared to modern standards. Video recording capabilities are minimal, restricting multimedia use. Its 1.5-inch LCD is relatively small, offering less accurate image preview and menu navigation. The absence of image stabilization makes handheld shooting at telephoto focal lengths challenging. Limited megapixel count (5 MP) may restrict large format printing quality. The camera lacks advanced connectivity options like Wi-Fi or HDMI, which are common in later models.
