By Andrew Hamada Canon's newer, higher end SD models (SD200/SD300) are fantastic little cameras for point-n-shooters like myself. What's new compared to SD110/S410/S500: -2.0" LCD as opposed to 1.5" on other canon models -Low-light focus system dramatically improved over previous canon ultracompacts -Built in scene modes, making it much easier for those illiterate in manual functions (white balance? huh?) to get better looking pictures. Pros (aside from new features mentioned above): -Canon's image sensor is consistently one of the (if not THE) best when it comes to ultracompact digital cameras. Compare pictures taken by a Canon ultracompact to any other brand of ultracompact at the same resolution and the difference is remarkable. -All metal body feels sturdy. -Controls are mapped very efficiently (zoom and shutter operatable with one hand). Menus can be navigated easily. -Numerous shooting options are enough to satisfy amateur photographers as well as snapshooters. Auto-mode is efficient and usually does a good job. -About 2/3 the thickness of the S-series of Canon cameras, which are already about the size of a pack of cigarettes. -3.2 Megapixel sensor is exactly enough for snapshooters, which ultimately makes this camera cost far less. -Automatic lens cover prevents dust, etc., from marring lens. -Canon switched from Compact Flash memory to SD memory, which reads and writes much faster. -Fast start-up time (although not as fast as Casio's Exilim line). -Sleek design makes the camera a fashion statement. You can and WILL get "oooh"s and "ahhh"s from people when you pull this thing out. Cons: -Canon switched from Compact Flash memory to SD memory, which costs more. -3.2 megapixel resolution, while enough to print 5x7s, usually isn't enough to print 8x10 images with anything resembling decent resolution. Luckily, 90% of home users will never need more. -This camera is clearly not for anyone other than casual snapshooters: lacking in the manual functions more experienced photographers demand. -No RAW file mode for experienced digital photographers. -Basically, experienced photographers will hate this camera. But thankfully, it's not geared toward them, but rather at home-users. If you are an experienced photographer, don't look at ultra compact snapshooter cameras. Go for digital SLR cameras, like Canon's EOS or Digital Rebel series'. 55 of 56 people found the following review helpful. Great bang for the buck By WVU1776 I've had this camera for over a year now and couldn't be happier with it. Obviously it's very small, which works out great for those that travel a lot or generally like taking a camera wherever they go. Picture quality isn't amazing, but very good. And at 3.2MP, there's enough resolution to print out an 8x10 photo...why would you need anything bigger? I purchased the underwater camera case accesory. It's a bit pricey (around $100), but well worth it for the money if you know you're going to use it a lot. I took it to Florida during vacation and took hundreds of photos that turned out brilliant. I HIGHLY recommend using the "underwater" setting available. I took a few without it just to see the difference. They were very blue-saturated. The "underwater" setting eliminated all of that, leaving a clear image. With the attached strap, it wasn't a hassle to carry around either, even underwater. We did lots of snorkling (sp?) and diving with no problems. On the con side: - There's no battery life indicator! The only time you know the state of the battery is when it's very low. - The lcd scratches easily, but that's to be expected. I haven't had any problems with the case itself scratching. - The included SD card won't hold that many photos. Just spend the extra money and get more memory. They're fairly cheap these days. I bought the 256mb, and it holds plenty (hundreds). Overall, great camera
