NOT so good buy!!!

PowerShot SX200IS 12MP 12x Zoom Digital Camera w/ 720P HD Video Recording & HDMI
(CNPSSX200ISK)
Pros: Fast/accurate auto-focus, Easy To Use
Cons:
Other Comments: I purchased this BRAND NEW camera on 11/2010 and I am going back for a 2nd repair of the SAME PROBLEM. The camera's zoom and all menu options lock up making the camera function-less! Because it is under warranty, I have hassled the drive to the busiest service center in Irvine, CA to drop off and pick up even though they offer to ship. I feel I cannot trust the camera on a major trip at this stage so what's the point in owning this otherwise expensive (not so wonderful) camera! Just in case you wonder, the camera has a cushioned case and I have BABIED it's protection, hence my PERSONAL VISIT to that BUSY center instead of shipping. This experience has left me EXTREMELY DISSAPPOINTED with CANON regarding their cameras!

Pros: Good Image Quality, Large Clear LCD, Great Zoom, Easy To Use
Cons: Poor Image Stabilization, Lag / Shutter Delay
Other Comments: I got my camera for Christmas 2009 and here it is 14 months latter and my LCD Screen is turning gray like there is a shadow. I contact Cannon and was told sorry "Out of Warranty". Yipes! I guess I should have bought a cheaper camera. One that I thought would last a year. I love this camera just thought it would last longer.

Pros: Great Zoom, Easy To Use, Large Clear LCD, Good Image Stabilization, Good battery life
Cons: Autofocus can be off
Other Comments: I have just barely started using the camera, but so far, I love it. The zoom is terrific, but I find that when I use it, the auto-focus sometimes will not work correctly (I haven't yet figured out if/how I can turn it off and manually focus). And I got it for a great price!

Excellent for compact

Canon
PowerShot SX200IS 12MP 12x Zoom Digital Camera w/ 720P HD Video Recording & HDMI
(CNPSSX200ISK)
Pros: Manual Controls, Good form factor, Great Zoom, Good Image Quality
Cons: Still just a compact
Other Comments: Was looking for a compact to work in tandem with my film slr (yes I said film). I've had a couple canon A-series through the years and absolutely loved them - excellent image quality/versatility for compacts. This one fits the bill just as well and does so with the help of a big zoom lens. It's a pretty fast lens too. You can move it slow or fast with the toggle switch. Fast is pretty fast for a compact 12x. Slow is nice because it doesn't get twitchy if you only want to zoom a little bit. Overall I'm very happy with this. Full manual control (as with my previous canons) was a 100% necessity for me. I love the controls on this. Canon all the way. If you know canons you won't even have to read the manual.
Yes the flash is annoying the way it sticks out all the time, but it's workable. Not a big deal.
The big caveat is that this is still just a compact camera with a compact image sensor, so picture quality is not exactly going to blow you away and get you the cover shot of some magazine, but for the price (on sale) it's about as good as it gets in my view. And it's a canon so the color and overall impact of the image is very good even if a little grainy in low light/high iso. Very happy. Highly recommended amongst compacts.
Yes, I recommend this product

Other Comments: I bought two of these for our Enginnering work dept of 25 folks. [$] ea is good price. So far we really like them. Most of our photos are of a part sitting on a work bench.

I actually got one the year it came out for $400 and it was stolen. The year after it was only [$] I believe. Best camera you can get in the "compact" arena.
