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...

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

Struggles in low light ; Takes AA batteries ; Rather bulky

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.
