The PowerShot SX 200 IS is not able to do remote capture.

Canon has effectively stopped putting this functionality in
their compact cameras (PowerShot) firmwares and only delivers
it with the EOS series these days.

The SDK page confirms this (and lists all the old models able
to):
http://www.usa.canon.com/consumer/controller?act=SDKHomePageAct&keycode=Sdk_Lic&fcategoryid=314&modelid=7474&id=3464

It is a bit sad that its not possible anymore.

Ciao, Marcus

but then I am using CHDK that was developed for her, and so researched
was added sx 200 to the list of compatible models from version 2.4.7
of gphoto2. I'm using version 2.4.8, on site says that was added to
the function of capture-preview, so even with these implementations of
the latest versions it will not work in any way?

which model powershot line that is still being manufactured by Canon
that I can perform these functions?

thank you very much for your attention

CHDK runs on the camera and does not influence the USB communication
to my knowledge.

That the USB id is not in 2.4.7 is not relevant, it is also detected
by the PTP Class Matching code (and would work).

I already quoted the URL that list it in my previous mail.
"NC" means "non conforming" aka "not able to".

And to answer the last paragraph:
	None to my knowledge
