How good is the S200? I just got my A40 for XMas and I F'n love it (my first camera too)

Have you tried "massaging" the pixel with a Q-Tip? It might come back for you.

wait a second....?

i posted about dead pixels on my 18'' LCD (which, btw, is gone...i got a 19'' )


and someone said that...i thought they were joking! :Q


is that really possible?

 

[RU482]

Wow, that sucks. At first I thought you meant a bad pixel on the capture end...resulting in a defect in every pic you take

 

[ElFenix]

as long as you don't have dead pixels in the CCD its all good

yeah i know hehe

btw, what does CCD stand for? i know what it is but not what ACTUALLY is

geno - The Canon S200 is awesome and considered higher end than the A40.

I personally prefer the A40's larger size making it easier to grip, the S200 is just TOO SMALL.

Basically a semiconductor that is sensitive to light. Read all about it here. (Charge-Coupled Device)

s200 has pretty much the same specs as the canon a40.

reasons i wouldn't get it:

2x optical zoom as opposed to 3x for a40.
smaller and easier to drop (happened to my sister, she dropped her cam within a week of getting it)
batteries cost more.
batteries arent as flexible (cant just get extra batteries for cheap)

 

[C'DaleRider]

We looked at the a40.......but finally bought the Fuji FinePix 2800Zoom. 6X optical, a "real" case with good handhold, and a nifty through-the-lens viewfinder just like an SLR.


In the end, though, there are many great cameras capable of excellent photos.

Yeah, the 2x zoom is a bummer. The pics look nice from the s200, but not noticably better than my A40 *shrug* It IS smaller, but I don't need a tiny camera other than the cool factor...
