Description

With compact cameras, it becomes quite easy to carry it around, no matter where you go. The PowerShot camera by Canon is a great compact camera that can fit into your bag or loose pocket so that it always remains available when you need to click a quick snap.

Zoom it Out

With the incorporation of the 28 mm Wide-Angle Lens, you can get a 16 X Optical Zoom level on the camera, which can also go up to 32 X with Zoom Plus. The optical zoom results in high precision, quality images even from a distance as long as it does not progress into the digital zoom range. The in-built optical image stabilizer greatly reduces camera shakes so that you can easily achieve stunning photos and images.

Smart Automatic Mode

The Smart AUTO function is a very helpful mode in the compact camera as it allows even the most amateur photographer to achieve some of the best shots possible. This mode is incorporated so that you do not need to worry too much about exposure, focal length and other feature settings that DSLR users need to keep in mind. The Smart AUTO feature can intelligently select the ideal settings for the compact camera, which is based on 32 predefined shooting scenarios that will ensure the best possible stills or videos.

Media Capture

With the optics already incorporated with the powerful image sensor, you can expect to take high quality 720 p videos with the 16.0 MP compact camera. The Canon DIGIC 4 image processor delivers some stunning visuals thanks to the high image quality output. Apart from being able to record in 720 p, the camera is also able to record good quality stereo sound to go with the video files.

Other Features

With the high speed auto focus mode, you can take high quality images across a wide variety of situations. The auto focus mode works well with the optical image stabilizer and the result is a host of highly detailed shots that are derived from this camera. This also works well in terms of low light conditions since there is little need to boost the ISO sensitivity and risk noisy shots.

PowerShot SX 150IS or the SX160IS. Is it really worth the extra 2K?

I have an SX150IS (bought it from a local Canon store), and I'd like to throw some light on this new upgraded version- SX160is.

For an extra 2K what you're gonna get is-
1. 16MP vs 14.1 MP [more pixels crammed into the same old 1/2.3" sensor.Which means no substantial increase in overall image quality]
2. 16x optical zoom vs 12x. Now this is a nice upgrade.
3. Shutter speed - 1/3200 secs vs 1/2500 secs. Counts ONLY if the subject is well lit because the camera has limited low light shooting ...

Great Camera with features

This is a great camera in this range and having many feature. Manual settings mode is awesome if handled correctly. For a first time user accessing all the options a little bit difficult, so it will take some time to adjust. With 16x optical and full 64x digital zoom the pics are coming so clear.
People who are decided to buy SX150 I suggest to go for this one with Rs 1600 extra which includes great looks and more features.

However as a regular customer of flipkart I'm bit disappointed. Orde...

Best Point and Shoot Cam u can get under 10k !!

I am surprised to c after 2 mnths of purchasing ds gem the price has escalated to 10,150..
i bought it for 8k 4m flipkart only...
Only con i can find abt ds cam is the lack of a viewfinder...and lack of panorama mode.
evrything else far outweighs ds ofcourse...
Full manual contols like a dslr...which is a really gud option if u want 2 experiment and learn about photography..and plan 2 buy a dslr later..
Cool modes like fisheye, toy cam, vivid mode are wonderful..
awesum macro performnce ..

Finest in the price range!

Hello guys!

This is a very fine camera if you want some of the advanced options and are not into photography too much. The camera performance is very great, however reading is recommended for taking good pictures . Try it out yourself. The only way you'll end up taking good photos is by taking a lot of photos.

***CAUTION***FOR ADVANCED USERS***
***USER DISCRETION ADVISED***

For the people who want to take out as much as possible from their camera should try giving it a firmware update, CH...
