  • While some touch-based functions – such as touch focus and scene selection – are great to use, others – like image delete and tagging – are clumsy. Surely, Canon could have made more of the touch technology. The lack of manual cont...

  • Abstract:  The IXUS 200 IS is beautiful and chic to look at but sometimes sacrifices practical concerns for that stylishness. The new touch-screen technology, though, performs impressively and you can also record 720p HD movies. Canon - Digital IXUS 200 IS price...

  • Build, styling HD video, image quality at lower ISO, touch screen
  • The auto/stills/video mode slider switch is fiddly; mode dial is on the small size, high ISO image noise, no optical viewfinder
  • Slightly fiddly controls are the only real demerit on the IXUS 200 IS which in terms of stills and HD video performs very well indeed. The wide angle zoom is great too and makes for a neat, well balanced compact digital camera that is worth serious con...

  • Good zoom range; decent lens quality; effective touchscreen controls
  • Black borders on the LCD display when shooting stills; over-sensitive rear control dial; weak definition at high ISOs
  • With the Digital IXUS 200 IS, Canon seems to have aimed for steady evolution rather than technical innovation. The 200 is a perfectly decent camera, but it's far from a must-have ...
