Summary: Just not enough flash!
Review: I have used this camera since June 02 and while the having digital pictures are a plus, the picture quality when using the flash is below standard - which I define as being the same as a conventional camera. It is my opinion that the flash is not strong enough and the red eye function does not work as well as my previous standard camera.Outdoor / daytime pictures are great.

Summary: warning! outdoor pics only
Review: This is a great first digital camera-- but I wish someone would have warned me that you should only use this camera outdoors. I can't for the life of me get autoflash to work and I can't make the flash go on by choice to take pictures. Beautiful outdoor pictures- woudl love to use it indoors- but even in broad daylight in the house the pictures come out dark and I end modifying them with software--If you are planning to buy this camera- beware that indoor pics don't turn out so great- my disposable camera does a better job.

Summary: Excellent Camera
Review: This camera is tiny, but has everything. I highly recommend it. A great feature is the video clips. You can take short video (*.avi) clips as if you were taking a photo. So you have instant short movie clips that you can view, or email.

Summary: Great little camera.
Review: I waited years for the digital cameras to get smaller, have less glitches, better interfaces with computers, better quality pictures... the list goes on. When an Amazon special came up with the S200 I decided it was finally time. It hasnt been a disapointment, the size is perfect for throwing into the back pack (make sure you have a good zipper case before doing this) and the picture quality has been great. I have been using it mostly on the medium resolution settings and the pictures have been good enough to us as screensavers on a 20" monitor. The only qualm I might have is that it seems to be more sensitive to keeping still as the picture is taken, but I am not a pro so it could be me.
Bottom line, great quality pictures from a small convenient package. The stainless case also looks cool.

Summary: Great product!
Review: Sure, there are more sophisticated cameras with higher resolution, but if you are looking for a great value in a mid-range digital - this is it. Excellent build quality, compact and easy to use, stylish, convenient and with more features than most casual users will ever use, this is one super camera. Complaints are few: Batteries are proprietary and pricy (though quite long-lived), only 2x zoom - that's about it. The optional leather case with belt loop is a nice addition. With a 128Mb card you can capture 120+ hi-res images and an amazing over 1400 at low-res! I can fit the camera, extra battery, battery charger, cables and PCMCIA card reader in a case about the size of a paperback book. Highly recommended product!

Summary: Incredible pocket picture taker!!!
Review: Wow, I have searched for a quality digital camera and found one.
It's only 2 megapixels, but it is more than adequate. The pictures I took were all great, the close up shots for detail shots are incredible perfect color and lighting everytime. I had a hard time between this one and a Canon A60. I had a Sony before this one and this one beats hands down. The Canon A60 has alot more features but a higher price tag. I got this one at my local Staples for $ 220.00 - BRAND NEW !!!!
The case is small and sturdy stainless steel. Great pocket camera. It is not a pro camera, and not a basic point and shoot, it can record up to 1 minute with audio!!! It has a microphone!!!
Bottom line it is a great buy and quality is excellent. I even took a picture with just a candle lit and it calibrated for light for a great shot!!!
Why 4 stars, well the buttons are tiny, bigger hands will have a hard time with this camera, and a replacement battery is very expensive; although do a search on Ebay and many vendors have the battery for $10-15.00; as opposed to $50-60.00 on retail sites. As for memory cards go to Crucial.com for the cheapest memory anywhere!!! I got a 128 card for $25.00 !!! There prices do change.
Pros: Compact and light, simple menu, easy to shoot, stainless steel case, cheap memory, movie mode, great shots, even in the dark!!!!
Cons: Special cable for video(included) and USB, so don't lose them or you'll have to order direct from Canon; special battery- not AA's, too small for bigger hands.
Final say: Great for trips, and to carry in your pocket, but if you have bigger hands and a few extra dollars, go with a Canon A60. The Canon A60 uses AA's and it's case is bigger(although plastic), and has a few more advanced features.

Summary: Amazing little value....
Review: Wow, I was out shopping for a digital camera. I wanted something simple and small. This came out to have alot of bells and whistles.That is the best value you will find for this camera new!!! I almost picked up the Canon A60 with the 3 minute digital recording with sound, but I just wanted wanted something for snapshots with a few features. The s200 has digital recording with sound too!!! It is compact lightweight but there is a slight learning curve to it. Once you figure it out and use the software, you will be amazed at the photos you will take. I was even able to print a beautiful 8 by 10 on this thing.
Pros: Great value at Staples, great zoom for the price, Canon optics, recording with sound, light sensor feature. Extremely light, compact, nice menu, comes with all cables to view on tv and computer!!
Cons: Maybe too small for bigger hands, doesn't use AA batteries, it requires a special nicad battery that comes with it(the charger comes with it too). Recommendations: I like this camera because it is a step up from my Sony. This is a great camera for the intermediate camera user-lots of features and good quality. For the Pro's, the A60 is a more expensive but somewhat better camera. The A60 has a better zoom, uses AA's, longer recording time with sound, but it is bigger, heavier and more expensive.

Summary: Little tiny monster
Review: Absolutely love this camera. For a potential buyer, it is more important to read negative reviews, rather that the ones where people write stuff to feel better about themselves. So, what is not perfect about S200:
-quite expensive extra battery, though very long lasting
-weak flash
-tripod mount not centred (hard to get the accurate position with small tripods)
-software (not pretty, not functional, at least for me)
-expensive accesories (like waterproof case, but at least there is one)
