Canon PowerShotSX200 IS Competitors

As well as being compared against other travel zooms, the Canon PowerShot SX200 IS is also often compared to pro digicams and super zooms. The Canon PowerShot SX200 IS's top rivals come from Canon (such as the PowerShot SX210 IS and the PowerShot S90) and Panasonic (such as the Lumix DMC-ZS7 and the Lumix DMC-ZS5)

Generally, some of the advantages of the Canon SX200 IS compared to other competitive travel zooms include: it slightly closer macro focusing (0 cm vs 5 cm) and has a faster max shutter speed (1/3200 of a second vs 1/1600 of a second).

However, on average it doesn't have a built-in GPS, has a slightly lower resolution screen (230k dots vs 460k dots), is significantly larger (compact 103x61x38 mm vs compact 103x58x29 mm), doesn't shoot as fast continuously (none vs 10 fps) and is thicker (1.5" vs 1.3").
