Review on Black Canon PowerShot SX150 IS 14.1 MP Digital Camera with 12x Wide-Angle Optical Image Stabilized Zoom and 3.0-Inch LCD (OLD MODEL) by Amar Amar ᠌

Revainrating 4 out of 5

The product is okay, it's not a waste of money!

The main disadvantage of this camera is a noisy matrix, as a result, the loss of detail. Here they write that it makes noise at high ISO. This is not entirely true. It makes noise at any ISO, just weaker at low values. I compared the SX 150 IS shots with the 2022 Canon Powershot A610 shots. The results are not in favor of the SX 150 IS (at least at low ISOs). Nobody canceled the laws of physics, they shoved so many megapixels into a matrix the size of a fingernail. There's nothing you can do about it, thanks to technological progress and marketers. The good news is that if you don't look at the images on a computer in 1:1 scale, then the noise is not so noticeable;) I didn’t like the screen yet - on a cloudless sunny day you can’t see much on it (even at maximum brightness), and in addition it also glares. The automatic mode also did not please - there is a tendency to overexposure (for example, when shooting landscapes, the sky often comes out white). If you do not want to mess around with manual shutter speed and/or aperture settings, then it is better to shoot in "P" mode with the necessary exposure compensation. In all other respects - a good camera for the money, because the best in this price category simply does not exist.

Pros
  • Zoom Ease of management Availability of modes P, Tv, Av, M The flash pops up manually Powered by 2 batteries or AA batteries
Cons
  • Matrix Wide-angle distortion (distortion) Screen
