I think for this price the device for everyday / Before him, I bought a Canon PowerShot A810, it is 2 times cheaper, but the pictures are obtained as on a mobile phone. Different pros: Image quality, not bad optics for such a price (I took it for 5300), decent video, metal front panel. Has some cons: 1 as an alternative, a lot of preset modes (the same Canon PowerShot SX150 IS has more manual settings) The battery is weak and its indicator is not informative.
