Talk me out of a Canon PowerShot SX200 IS Digital Camera
Image by chunkfree via FlickrWe’re sick of carting around—or chosing between—our Canon Elph SD750 and Flip minoHD, so I put them both on eBay (*ahemfreeshippinginUSahem*). In my quest to unite the powers of these two devices, I have initially settled on the Canon PowerShot SX200 IS (click this post’s headline for a link to Canon’s site). I am somewhat loyal to Canon’s point-and-shooters because they typically seem to be the most compact, but I am not married to this model or brand.
I want something extremely compact (which typically requires proprietary LiIon batteries, and I’m fine with that. In fact, I prefer it), with HD video, manual control in lieu of carting around our DSLR (a Rebel XT), and a wide variety of smart scene modes to cover the “didn’t want to bother with it” advantages of point-and-shoot.
With that in mind, is the SX200 IS the right camera for our needs?

What’s your favorite Google Reader iPhone app?
I’m switching back to Google Reader from Fever. I still vastly prefer Fever’s UI, but I like the broad support for Google Reader with things like offline iPhone apps, and the social features are fun too. Being able to see what articles my friends like is pretty cool, and thanks to the open standards of RSS and OPML, making this switch is trivial.
Back when I used Google Reader regularly, I bought Byline for iPhone. It was a decent offline client back then, but I remember seeing a few competitors crop up. Got any you prefer? I’m specifically looking for a client that does offline/archiving, as I ride the bus and L train in Chicago and I can be out of signal range for a while.
So lay em on me. Links to product sites are preferred over iTunes, but I’m down for either. Thanks folks.
