First, design.

As a portable and fashionable card camera, the design of Canon S200 can be said to be very pleasing. The body lines are smooth and compact, but it does not affect the feel. The operating ring on the lens is undoubtedly of great help to improve the feel.

▲ Back of Canon S200 camera

Canon SX5 10 HS is equipped with a 3-inch display on the back, and several classic buttons and wheels are distributed in the right hand area of the camera, which seems to be designed for one-handed operation. In practical use, this can undoubtedly be an extremely convenient design for shooting.

The side of the fuselage is equipped with data interface and standard HDMI interface, which is convenient for putting photos on TV and watching them with family. There is a flash pop-up button on the other side, which is not easy to be mishandled in actual operation because of its reasonable design.

At the top of the camera, the zoom lever is still integrated with the shutter button and the switch is put aside. The arrangement of keys follows the classics, which undoubtedly ensures its rationality. Mode dial options include aperture priority, shutter priority and scene mode, which supports 360-degree rotation and is convenient for quick adjustment.

The bottom of the fuselage is still a common standard tripod interface, next to the battery compartment and SD card slot.

This machine uses 1060mAh battery and compact charger, so traveling will never be a burden. Tears filled my eyes when I thought of the bulky SLR camera. In addition, although the battery capacity is not very large, it actually performs well and can fully support moderate-intensity shooting for more than one day.

"two. Control and function

Nowadays, if portable card cameras want to occupy a place in the market of mobile phones, telephoto cameras, micro-cameras and entry-level SLR, they must strike a balance between functionality and design. At this point, Canon S200 has achieved a high standard: first-class design, comprehensive and powerful shooting function.

Since it focuses on portability, the zoom ratio is naturally not as good as that of a telephoto camera, but this camera can be said to have made great efforts in control and camera filter:

Canon S200 lens is equipped with a control ring.

First of all: the biggest highlight of this camera is this control ring, which can be adjusted in different modes: aperture, shutter, sensitivity, exposure compensation and aspect ratio. Or for manual focusing and progressive zooming. It is worth mentioning that this step zoom function makes the lens equivalent to 28mm, 35mm, 50mm, 85mm, 100mm and 120mm respectively by rotating the control ring. These classic focal segments have taken countless classic photos in the hands of countless masters, which is undoubtedly beneficial for photographers to cultivate the feeling of focal segments.

For photographers, the fun of the camera is also very important. Canon S200 has a variety of filter modes, and of course the effect is also very good. Let's explain the filter mode of this camera in detail:

▲ Shoot in Canon S200 toy camera mode.

Canon S200' s toy camera mode is what we usually call LOMO style, with obvious dark corners and bright colors, which is suitable for various themes and petty bourgeoisie styles.

▲ Shoot in Canon S200 camera mode.

The shift-axis effect was originally a patent for large-format technical cameras and professional shift-axis lenses, but now it is quite interesting to use it in small cameras.

"WiFi function: share your joy every moment.

Now WiFi function has almost become the standard function of household cameras of various manufacturers. The only difference is the convenience of pairing with the mobile phone and the controllability of shooting.

▲ Canon PowerShot S200 has WiFi function.

At this point, Canon PowerShot S200 didn't bring us any surprises: it only supports the transfer of photos to other devices, and does not support remote shooting. Here, I won't go into details. Although simply transmitting photos can really meet the daily consumption needs, the entertainment and playability of cameras are actually not high. In order to increase playability, this home camera can be given more WiFi operability. After all, it's just a matter of adding a software function.

"Third, the camera imaging quality.

Due to the structural characteristics of telephoto cameras, the size of photosensitive elements cannot be made very large. In this way, let's take pictures as the basis.

Imaging clarity performance

We use the method of 100% slicing to see the image quality performance of the center and edge of this camera.

The following is a comparison chart of the imaging effect of 100% slice under the sensitivity of Canon PowerShot S200.

▲ Comparison of center and edge 100% slices

▲ Center and edge sharpness performance

It can be seen that the resolution of this camera at low sensitivity (ISO80) is satisfactory regardless of the center edge. In addition, the color performance at low sensitivity and the tolerance of light and dark parts are also good.

▲ 100% slice comparison at various speeds.

From the screenshot, Canon S200 performs well at a sensitivity lower than ISO800. The performances around ISO 1600 and ISO3200 are also very good: although the details are lost, the noise is within an acceptable range, which is already a very good performance for a card camera. As for ISO6400, it is recommended to use photos only for recording purposes.

Fourth, camera sampling.

Presumably, everyone has a preliminary understanding of the imaging quality of this camera. What is the imaging quality of this camera in actual shooting? Let's take samples as an example.
