About the Canon IXY DIGITAL 200a
The Canon IXY DIGITAL 200a dates from April 2002 and carries a 1/2.7-inch CCD with a Large image size of 1600 x 1200. Its lens covers 35-70 mm in 35mm terms at F2.8, described as roughly 2x optical zoom, so it stays fairly bright for a compact of its time and covers everyday snapshot distances.
A 1.5-inch low-temperature polysilicon TFT monitor with 100% coverage is fitted. The body measures 87.0 x 57.0 x 26.7 mm without protrusions and weighs about 180 g without battery or card. Power is a rechargeable lithium-ion pack, NB-1LH or NB-1L, and the CA-PS500 compact power adapter was sold separately. Images go to CompactFlash. The listing describes it as a shallow, pocket-sized body, with the F2.8 aperture at the wide end the main specification to note on paper. Dimensions place it among the smaller digital cameras of 2002.
Buying one used
Uses the NB-1LH or NB-1L rechargeable lithium-ion battery: check that it still holds a charge. Media is CompactFlash, so test card recognition. Confirm the lens extends cleanly and the 1.5-inch monitor is evenly lit.
