If you are looking for the best photo results, go for the S410.

When looking at sample photos of the same subject, the S410 produces sharper and more detailed photos.

If you're choosing between these two models, you probably want a small, stylish camera. The SD200 is much smaller (19% thinner) and more stylish.

If most of your photos are going to stay on your computer or be emailed, 3.2MP is more than you need. Even if you print a lot of photos, if you're just taking amateur snapshots, you probably won't even notice the difference between 3.2MP and 4.0MP.

If style and size are big factors for you, don't worry about the extra 0.8MP. I'd recommend going into a local electronics shop and comparing them side by side. Also, I have the S410 and the little wheel on the back ALWAYS gets switched accidentally.
