Canon PowerShot SX200 IS Competitors

As well as being compared against other travel zooms, the Canon PowerShot SX200 IS is also often compared to pro digicams, super zooms, entry-level DSLRs and compacts. The Canon PowerShot SX200 IS's top rivals come from Canon (such as the PowerShot SX210 IS and the PowerShot SX220 HS) and Nikon (such as the Coolpix P500 and the Coolpix S8100)

Generally, some of the advantages of the Canon SX200 IS compared to other travel zoom competitors include: it slightly closer macro focusing (0 cm vs 5 cm) and has a faster max shutter speed (1/3200 of a second vs 1/2500 of a second).

However, on average it doesn't have a built-in GPS, records lower quality movies (720p @ 30fps vs 1080p @ 24fps), has a slightly lower resolution screen (230k dots vs 461k dots), doesn't record high-speed movies (none vs 240 fps) and doesn't record movies in 24p.
