I took my new camera for a 4-day visit to So. Africa's Kruger National Park, and was exceptionally pleased. Being a Canon fan, learning the features was pretty straight-forward. The camera feels good in my hand and I liked the color more than I thought (all my others were silver or black). I liked the direct dial to the camera modes (over the menu); the compact size for a 12x zoom is great; the zoom is awesome for such a small package, however it went from optical directly to digital and I prefer to do digital adjustments on my computer. This is my first camera without a view finder and it took getting used to it. The 3 inch screen is nice and bright, although a bit challenging in brilliant sunlight. I am quite happy with the image quality, probably due to image stabilization, but I also used the kids/pets mode for animals in motion. The colors are crisp and clear. The flash, as reported, is only effective for subjects pretty close in, well under 10 feet. I didn't try the low light feature as I didn't have a tripod. I'm really glad I purchased a back up battery (the Lenmar DLC5L equivalent to NB-5L) as it was usually mid day when it went out; either battery lasted about a day and a half of constant on-off, a lot of flash and only a little video. I got the Transcend 8 GB SDHC Class 6 flash memory card which was plenty for my trip. I'm very happy with my purchases and highly recommend this camera for those who like to zoom and frame their photos.Get more detail about Canon PowerShot SX200IS 12.1 MP Digital Camera with 12x Wide Angle Optical Image Stabilized Zoom and 3.0-inch LCD (Red).
