I really miss the view finder. It is very hard to find moving targets using the LCD monitor. This camera is also a bit slow when taking action, like soccer photos, I rarely seem to hit the target shot.
For other types of shots this camera is great and the color is just fantastic.Like other cameras the menu gives you a wealth of possibilities, if you are an expert. I wish that the right hand grip was rough and not smooth, and the always unfolded top flash when camera is on, is a constant nuisence. The 12 power optical zoom is great.Get more detail about Canon PowerShot SX200IS 12.1 MP Digital Camera with 12x Wide Angle Optical Image Stabilized Zoom and 3.0-inch LCD (Red).
