Description — Canon Digital IXUS 200 IS
The Canon Digital IXUS 200 IS is a slim, brushed metal point-and-shoot camera weighing just 150g with dimensions of 100 x 53 x 23 mm, making it genuinely pocket-sized. At its core is a 12MP, 1/2.3-inch sensor driven by Canon's DIGIC 4 image processor, capable of capturing stills at up to 4000x3000 pixels. The camera's 3.0-inch TFT LCD touchscreen with 230,000 dots serves as both the primary viewfinder and control interface — there is no optical viewfinder. Optical Image Stabilization (OIS) is built in to help control camera shake.
The autofocus system uses contrast detection and face detection AF with 9 focus points and supports subject tracking. ISO sensitivity runs from 80 to 1600. For video, the camera records at up to 720p at 30fps in 8-bit depth.
The built-in flash supports Auto, On, Off, Red-Eye, and Slow Sync modes. Connectivity includes USB and Mini HDMI output, with storage via SD and SDHC cards. The NB-6L battery is rated for approximately 240 shots per charge (CIPA).
No weather sealing is present.
