Product review & video
Hello, my name is Scott. Today we're
taking a look at this Canon PowerShot S200 Digital ELPH camera. It was released
in 2002. It's a nice small compact easy to use camera. The S200 has a 1/2.7 inch CCD sensor in there. And you also
have an optical viewfinder that zooms when
you zoom the camera. The lens inside is 35 to 70 millimeter
equivalent lens in there. And also f/2.8 to f/4 through that zoom range. It is a 2
megapixel sensor. As I mentioned 1/2.7 inches, so
decent size. There is a three-point autofocus system
in the camera. You can let the camera decide which point to use.
Or use the center point. Those points are right in the middle,
so you don't have a lot of versatility but it's in there it's nice auto focus.
Also has an auto focused assist lamp on the front of the camera.
The camera can focus down to 57 centimeters or 1.9 foot in normal mode,
but in macro mode... Which you can
