Relatively sluggish operation especially when using flash Image quality drops off above ISO 400 as noise levels increase Sharpness drops off towards frame edges throughout zoom range (and CA is noticeable) 230,000 dot screen isn't as sharp and detailed...

Although not the most slender compact camera out there, the SX150 IS comfortable and easy to use, and its stabilized 12X optical zoom offers impressive versatility coupled with good (for this class) image quality at low ISO sensitivity settings. A...

Great shots in daylight ; Impressive zoom ; Plenty of manual options

Struggles in low light ; Takes AA batteries ; Rather bulky

Very sharp images. 12x zoom range. Large LCD. Good control layout.

Very noisy images. Slow performance. Large when compared to other 12x superzoom cameras. Uses AA batteries.

Performance and Conclusions Despite having D-SLR-like control buttons, the SX150 IS does not come close to SLR-like performance. It takes about 2.7 seconds to start up and take a shot, and can only capture a new photo every 1.1 seconds after that. Its...

Excellent zoom range ; Advanced image stabilisation ; PASM shooting modes ; 720p HD movies with stereo sound ; AA batteries (Rechargeable)

Excellent image quality at lower ISO settings ; 12x optical zoom with Optical Image Stabilization is great for handheld shooting ; 720p HD video option produces excellent videos with stereo sound ; Smart auto allows anyone to operate it ; Full Manual...

Shot-to-Shot and burst times are a little slow ; Very Weak pop-up flash ; High ISO noise is unacceptable ; No audio input for HD video recording

The Canon PowerShot SX 150 IS currently sells at a market price of Rs.12,500. The older SX130 IS almost has similar features to this newer model, except for a slight difference in the continuous shooting mode and the fact that it’s a 12.1 MP instead of...

The ; offers very good photo quality and features for its class, including semimanual and manual shooting modes, and it uses AA-size batteries.

The SX150 IS' shooting performance is miserable, as is its battery life, especially using alkaline batteries.

If a long lens, AA batteries, and some creative control over your photos are what you're after, the Canon PowerShot SX150 IS is a good choice. That is, as long as you don't mind it being painfully slow.

The Canon Powershot SX150 IS has its share of niggles. But it is nevertheless a good buy. Definitely, not an upgrade over its predecessor but worth a look for first-time buyers. Casual users who wish to have a truckload of manual controls will enjoy...
