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 Ha Joon

I am a professional photo/video shooter. There is a 5D Mark2 DSLR and a set of lenses, but I needed a lighter, smaller camera for vacations + with good macro. Chose between G12 and SX150. As a result, I was inclined to believe that buying a G12 with a DSLR is unjustified. In addition, the G12 is more massive and heavier than the SX150. I studied all the offers on the market in this price segment. I looked at the tests. As a result, I took the Canon SX150. Without a doubt, this camera, in its price segment, is unrivaled! Excellent functionality and excellent quality for such a soap dish. The automatic machine, of course, shoots very mediocrely and all the time strives to raise the ISO, from which noises climb. But if you are an experienced photographer and know how to work completely in manual mode, then for 5.500r. this camera is a godsend. The key is to keep it at ISO 80 and you'll get great quality shots. The shutter speed is set to 15 seconds, which allows you to take excellent night shots within ISO80. I can’t even believe that this little guy shoots like that. It will fit perfectly as a holiday camera for a professional (unless, of course, you know how to count money :) For the M mode (which competitors cannot boast of), I fell in love with it separately :) Aperture, shutter speed, white balance, ISO, sharpness . .- everything is set manually and quickly enough. There is even a histogram and an indication of overexposed areas. On the other hand, the camera is cheap and if you damage it somewhere on a trip, it will not be very offensive. In general, I am very pleased with the purchase. The functionality and quality exceeded my expectations. Among other things, the camera saved me from having to buy a macro lens for a DSLR, which will cost much more. One of the best, if not the best model in the price segment of 5-6 thousand. The best recommendations of dog breeders :) Examples of the first test photos: http://pulse-x. Ru/forums/sx150. Jpg
