Some functions of digital compact cameras to shoot point-and-shoot may have been taken over by another device, such as the recent cameraphones which become increasingly sophisticated and able to produce decent pictures. However, there remains a special camera to photograph which has a wider range of features and facilities making it a more complete and capable device to take pictures. Examples of the diversity of features and facilities can be seen in pocket digital camera released by Canon recently; Digital IXUS 200 IS.

As a pocket camera, IXUS 200 IS has a small and compact shape. Interestingly, the IXUS 200 IS comes with a 3-inch size LCD on the back which have touchscreen functionality. In addition, the LCD touchscreen is also large enough to take some of the key functions of this camera. If you look at the back, there are only a few main button like the “Menu”, “Playback”, “Macro”, and flash settings. Navigation and camera settings can be done through a touch on the LCD touchscreen, which apparently is quite practical and fun. You can choose a focus area by touching the field of shooting that appears on the screen when taking a picture. To preview shots, after pressing the button “Play”, you’re quite a bit of wiggle this camera upward to see the next picture, or downward to return to the previous image.

With a resolution of up to 12 MP CCD and processor DIGIC 4 image processor, Canon claims that this device will produce high quality pictures and more responsive than the previous series. IXUS 200 IS can also record HD video (1280 × 720, 30 FPS) and displays the results to a High Definition TV via an HDMI connector provided. This camera is equipped with 4.3-21.5mm lens with a 5x optical zoom, slightly higher than other pocket cameras schoolmates.
