Summary: The Canon SD200 is a great ultra-compact camera though it lacks "real" manual controls and control over fast shutter speed. Custom white balance and long shutter are a plus on the SD200 as few ultra-compact cameras have such features.

Otherwise the camera is responsive and is easy to use. The Canon SD300... Read the full review
