Canon Ixus 200

 I’m an avid Canon user. I realized until a few months ago that all my cameras have been mostly Canon. When my Sony Cybershot began to conk out and spend more time at the repair shop, I bought a Canon Ixus 110.The latest iteration of this wonderful camera is the Ixus 200.

The Ixus 200 shares the same features as its predecessor –an impressive wide angle (28mm) 4x optical zoom lens, 12.1 Megapixel resolution and DIGIC 4 processor. It shoots movies at 720p and can be hooked up to an HDTV right away. All the same except for the touch screen that has made it so enticing to gadget freaks, not to mention the 3-inch LCD that’s also widescreen. The menu options, however, is not entirely dependent via touch because the jog dial has been retained.

I had the Ixus 110 in the gold colored version, very sleek and stylish. And one of the features I love about this camera is the 10 second, 3 shot-timer.Most cams would shoot just once, the 110 shoots three consecutively.Tweak it some more and you see that it also has face detection.

There is no doubt as to image capability of the Ixus 200 because, like I said, it shares the same features as the 110 that I use. Images are always bound to impress.
