You do realise more megapixels, doesn't mean better quality.

The zoom range is smaller because this camera has a larger sensor than most point & shoots, which means superior image quality, as well as having a pretty wide f/2 aperture at the wide end of the zoom range. Both of these factors increase the size required of the lens, so it's a case of either compromising the zoom range or compromising the camera's dimensions. It's a case of choosing between the convenience of a large zoom range or improved imaging over a standard compact.

Same here. Still got the s90 too. It was worth the £300 for the s90 so this has got to be a real bargain at £99. Cheap as chips. Have some heat.......

Good price and love the wifi facility but 4x zoom is disappointing. Got 10x zoom on my old power shot bought 6 years ago!! Will probably go for next model up - 18x zoom and wifi for £139

It's not quite the same as a new version of the S90, as it lacks raw capability (unless using a hacked firmware). The replacement for the S90 is the S120 I believe. The S200 should still be decent, using the S95 sensor and S120 lens

It's only 10 Megapixels according to spec on curry's site, for same price at curry's you could get Sony bridge camera with 20 Megapixel and 36 x zoom, £70 could get you Nixon coolpix camera with 20 Megapixels

It's not about megapixel count anymore, its about sensor size and aperture wideness and therefore better low light performance and less noise and cleaner crisper image. This S200 has got a bigger sensor and aperture than other cameras in this price range. There is no equivalent of the S200 from the other manufacturers in this price range.

What exactly are you going to be doing with 20 megapixels anyway?

Totally agree - Generally small sensor rule ... More megapixels =More Noise & More Zoom = More Shake
You need to look at lower lens 'f' numbers than megapixels for better image quality
