The Bottom Line

This quality digital camera is ultra compact, easy to travel with, easy to operate, but is only good for capturing images that aren’t too far away due to its short range zoom lens.

Guide Review - Canon PowerShot S200 Digital Camera

This camera is all about having fun. It is so small it can slip easily into a pocket or purse virtually unnoticed. Though its zoom is small, it does get in close when the action isn’t too far away. When attached to the ultra compact card printer (CP-10), it’s easy to make prints for friends, family, and of course, yourself.
