I use my camera frequently and am learning to use as I go. I haven't had any problems yet, just very happy with how it works!

I am a semi-pro photographer and I got this camera for my wife since she doesn't like the SLR body but love my Canon D40's quality and function. I always carry my Canon 40D around, but after the purchase of Canon SX200, I sometime just use my wife camera since it does do a pretty good job on capturing the moment.

This camera is absolutely wonderful. The pictures are bright, clear, crisp and the colors are vibrant...all this ON the large LCD screen. VERY easy to use in all situations.

I love this camera - it has both the wide angle and a great zoom feature. I like to take architectural photography for our construction business, and the wide angle is crucial for that. I also take people shots - the face detection and focusing features are great for that. I can zoom in on people wind sailing out in the water, while I'm standing on the shore! The camera is compact, not the smallest or lightest available, but comfortably small - it fits in my purse easily so it goes everywhere I go! I'm an artist, too, so I find this camera fun for zooming in close to flowers, rocks, interesting textures, to frame shots that are inspiration for future artistic endeavors.

The camera is light weight and so easy to use. I was looking for a easy and not bulky. The battery last so long and the zoom is wonderful.
