Wings of Passion by Soumyadip Mukherjee

No! they don't need to celebrate their freedom by hoisting their flag, they celebrate their freedom by feeling the zephyr on their back,spreading their wings, the wings of passion.....

E era-by Soumyadip Mukherjee
We live in an era where people prefer witnessing beauty through the lenses of their gadgets over their own eyes...just a small example of it...

Indian pilgrims- by Soumyadip Mukherjee

Two pilgrims await their turn to come, to enter the temple of Kedar-nath, witness their god, overcoming the bone-chilling cold weather & freezing drops of rain at Kedarnath...

A fog of hope-by Soumyadip Mukherjee

The foot hills of Kedar...the locals on their way to the horse station leaving the fog of the winter behind on the first day of reopening of kedar-nath for a much awaiting a summer which will bring both tourists & pilgrims. These two words to the locals are synonymous to Rupees & Paise.......

After reading a lot of negatives, I still bought the camera as it has one of the longest zooms on the market and a lot of manual controls not available on other cameras. Thus, if you know what you are doing, you can control image quality BUT you need to read the manual first as a lot of the controls are not in the same place as previous Power Shots and there are some new features which aren't immedaiatley clear.
Battery life - I charged the battery each day before I went out (Dubai for 6 days) and never had any problems. It never even showed less than 100% the whole time and I use a lot of fill in flash.
Flash location. Nobody has really explained that when the flash pops up, there is a cover flap that also raises and you need to take your finger off that flap when powering down. BUT when you see it, understand it, you avoid it. I don not have very large hands and none of the issues reported in some other reviews affected me.
Size/weight - it never bothered me. At the same time and the weight difference is marginal and the size is not that big and you are getting a 12 X zoom.
I do think a tripod is going to be useful in low light and I do appreciate the ISO 1600 and settings avaialble so you can avoid flash.

CNET UK judgement:
On paper, the Canon PowerShot SX200 IS looks great. In the flesh, it's a disappointment. It's bulky, has annoying design and control issues, and the picture quality is variable. It's still a versatile camera that can be used to take great pictures, but it promises much more than it delivers

Living off the edge!!! there are lots of automobile ads these days urging one to live of the edge. we try to live off the edge to experience thrill, to feel the pulse increasing with pulsating pace, to show off our heroism and later brag about it...but this little creature here, why is he living of the edge? the answer, is simple it is living of the edge in order to live, to survive. And the fun fact? i recently saw a show at NAT GEO where i learned that ants can navigate in air. no they cant fly, but if you drop an ant from the tree top it will navigate through the air in order to land on the bark of the tree instead of the ground. I dont know how they do it, its sort of like sky diving i guess...
