-
The PowerShot S200 is a fun little camera to use, provided you don’t need RAW capture or Full HD video recording.
-
The S200 has a few flaws, but none too serious to stop it from being an absolutely fun camera.
-
This is a fresh, single-source leak and not a 100% confirmed DJI announcement. The render is specific enough to take seriously, and the date stamp is impossible to ignore: Insta360 shipped a tele converter on September 21, and a Pocket 4P 2x render appeared on September 24.
- Memeburn 7/10
This camera makes a great companion whether as a point-and-shoot, to capture moments with friends at a party using face recognition, or as an artistic tool to capture scenery off the beaten track.
