	PROS  • Ultraportable size makes it easy to bring along.  • Picture quality is excellent, even in low-light situations.  • New features, a better battery, and slightly smaller size are improvements over last year's S110.		CONS  • 2-megapixel sensor is adequate for most users but starting to look low by today's standards.  • 8 MB card is too small for more than occasional use.

  The S200 is very similar to the S110 of last year, with the same 2x zoom lens and 2 megapixel sensor, but with a number of new features and a greatly improved user interface. The S200's color is also somewhat improved over last year's model, as Canon's engineers continue to refine their color management algorithms. The net effect is a evolutionary upgrade to an already successful camera design, an ultra-compact digicam with excellent image quality in a truly tiny package.
  The S200's tiny size makes it great for taking just about anywhere, even underwater with the separately-available underwater housing accessory. In more ordinary usage, the rugged, all-metal body stands up to heavy use, and the flat camera front (with lens retracted) makes it very pocket-friendly. Equipped with a 2.0-megapixel CCD, the S200 captures good quality images, suitable for printing photos as large as 8x10 inches. Lower resolution settings produce images suitable for use on the 'web, or for email distribution.

The Lowest Price is not always best ! When you buy a digital camera, the basic package almost always includes extras such as a battery charger, lens cap, batteries, flash memory card, and software. One of the more disreputable practices a dealer can engage in is called unbundling. These dealers remove items from the  package that are normally included in the price and price them separately. When purchasing a camera you have three components of the price to consider - the camera price, postage and handling, and taxes. Many dealers lower the price to make the camera more attractive, then increase the postage and handling to boost their profits. Hesitate before accepting extended warranties. Every knowledgeable consumer expert says it's better to gamble. Most of a company's profit is in the sale of these warranties so they press, and press hard. Your job is to resist, and resist hard. The only thing to keep in mind is that digital cameras can be horribly expensive to repair. If you want peace of mind, you may want the warranty, even though it's probably overpriced. The cost of a repair can approach, or even exceed, the original purchase price. When you buy a camera from a reputable dealer, you expect to be able to return it if you aren't satisfied. Some dealers try to discourage this by requiring a restocking fee for returned merchandise. This is always explained as a way to recover their costs of checking the merchandise and restoring the packaging you may have opened. Many dealers is truly a false, deceptive and a total crook. Bait and switch tactics used. Does not sell new merchandise and will ship used or refurbished goods without notifying customer. They then try to charge a restock fee on top of their exobitant shipping fees to make a profit where they could not on their goods. A try case of buyer beware.
