This machine with a retractable flash offers a 12-megapixel sensor and a focal length of 28 mm. Capable of recording images of 4000 x 3000 pixels for prints-posters, the SX 200 IS offers a wider field of vision to take group photos impeccable.

Additionally, the PowerShot SX200 IS boasts a high speed, thanks to the DIGIC 4. Equipped also an intelligent auto mode, the SX200IS selects the best scene mode to optimize your photos. Servo AF mode makes a perfect focus for moving subjects.

A compact machine that takes professional photos! I have an EOS 400D, but felt a need for a portable without losing quality. I was actually very pleased.
