Definitely keep the ISO at 400 and lower; do that and you'll have a fine camera that'll last for years...


Highs: 12MP; 12x wide-angle zoom; optical image stabilization; HD vids

Lows: Relatively slow; noise at ISO 400 and above

Where to buy:

Introduction

Traveling photographers are a picky bunch. They want a wide focal range in order to capture everything from broad vistas, to the eyeballs of scampering wildlife. They also want good quality, without the bulk and expense of DSLRs. Enter cameras like the new Canon PowerShot SX200 IS, with its compact size and image-stabilized 12x zoom, plus the ability to take high-def clips. The SX200 is one of the first of Canon’s Class of 2009, and we were anxious to see if the company would maintain its standards during a trip to Aruba. (Hey, even reviewers have to take “working” vacations, right?)
