Camera Overview — Canon PowerShot SD200

The Canon PowerShot SD200 is a compact point-and-shoot digital camera built around a 1/2.5-inch sensor capable of 3.2MP resolution and a maximum still image output of 2048x1536 pixels. Housed in an aluminum body with plastic accents, it measures just 85 x 53 x 21 mm and weighs a mere 100g, making it genuinely pocketable for everyday carry. The camera features a 2.0-inch TFT LCD display with 118,000 dots for image review and menu navigation, alongside an optical viewfinder for framing shots in bright conditions.

Autofocus is handled via contrast detection with a choice of 9-point AiAF or 1-point center AF, giving shooters a degree of control over focus placement. The ISO range runs from 50 to 400, suited to well-lit shooting environments. Video capture tops out at 480p at 30fps, with an additional 60fps mode available at 320x240 resolution.

Storage is handled via SD cards, and the camera connects to a computer via USB. Power comes from a rechargeable NB-4L Lithium-ion battery rated for approximately 140 shots per charge. There is no image stabilization of any kind — optical, in-body, or digital — so steady hands are recommended, particularly in lower light.
