With precision engineering and decades of leadership in optical technologies, Canon has created a bright, wide-angle lens that provides an extraordinary 12x zoom range. Optical Image Stabilizer - Handheld shooting can often lead to camera shake, making photos and videos blurry. Canon's Optical Image Stabilizer is a sophisticated system that uses lens-shift technology to correct for unwanted camera movement. It makes handheld photography more practical in more shooting situations, providing excellent image quality in many difficult situations: outdoors at dusk, inside without a flash, and even at the telephoto end of the zoom range without a tripod. For still photos, it enables shooting at slower shutter speeds, accommodating more low-light shooting situations than ever before without having to boost ISO sensitivity. 14.1 Megapixel Sensor - A 14.1 Megapixel sensor delivers beautiful photos with fine detail and brilliant color. The high resolution ensures superb image quality even when cropping or making very large prints. Canon DIGIC 4 Image Processor - Canon DIGIC Image Processors have set the standard for functionality and performance since their groundbreaking introduction in 1999. With each successive generation, DIGIC processors have brought elevated performance and powerful new features to PowerShot digital cameras. The DIGIC 4 processor has ushered in a new level of picture quality and accelerated processing, making possible features such as high-speed continuous shooting, Full HD video and Face Detection Self-timer. Smart AUTO - The PowerShot SX150 IS features Smart AUTO - sophisticated Canon technology that makes getting that great shot as simple as pressing the shutter button. Smart AUTO automatically detects scenes by assessing various factors in both the background and the subject. Detected scenes are analyzed using 32 predefined shooting situations. The camera then makes optimal settings to ensure the best possible image capture, whether you're shooting stills or video. Canon HD Video Advantage - The PowerShot SX150 IS lets you record spectacularly detailed 720p HD video at 30 frames per second with clear stereo sound. Imagine the fun and excitement of being able to shoot high definition video whenever you want, then downloading the videos to your computer to watch or share with family and friends. iFrame Movie Support - With the PowerShot SX150 IS, you can also shoot video in the Apple iFrame format, which is a computer-friendly standard that speeds up importing and editing of videos. It keeps file sizes small, making it more convenient to upload or e-mail high-quality videos. The iFrame format enjoys native support in compatible Mac and Windows video applications, making it unnecessary to perform time-consuming and often quality-degrading conversions. Intelligent IS - The latest advance in Canon Optical Image Stabilization technology, Intelligent IS analyzes camera movement and applies the best shake correction method for the shooting situation. For stills, the system automatically selects among Normal, Panning, Macro (Hybrid) and Tripod IS modes. When shooting video, the system automatically selects among Dynamic, Powered, Macro and Tripod IS modes.

Canon Powershot SX150

Pros: beautiful pictures!
Cons: takes aa batteries
"Took the camera to Niagara Falls. While it took beautiful pictures, the camera takes AA batteries and in 5 days, the batteries ran out 3 times. I thought that was a little crazy as I only took 150 or so pictures the entire time. I've actually purchased a different camera and am returning this one. If you don't mind carrying around an extra box of batteries, all in all, it's a nice camera."

AA Batteries are a Plus

Pros: uses aa batteries
Model Number: SX 150 IS
"One reason I bought this camera was that it uses AA batteries, not some proprietary battery. I use rechargeable Sanyo Eneloops and have never had a problem with short battery life. I average 200 or more photos per charged set of batteries, and with the Eneloops it is easy to keep a charged extra set with me. If the camera used proprietary battery, I'd have to buy an expensive and hard to find spare to keep a charged battery in reserve"

Battery Dooms Day :P

Pros: takes good pictures :d
Cons: eats up batteries faster than you can "say cheese"
Model Number: SX150 IS
"I had a G9 Cannon that was sadly stolen - but it was wonderful while i had it - I got this because i thought it would be similar - and it sort of is, except it will destroy your batteries - to the point of being ridiculus. I have 8! rechargeable NI-MH (high quality 2400mamps) and forget about it - 4 charging constantly and 2 in the case because i WILL need them. Think you'll be able to use the record feature, perhaps use the flash? make sure you have ALL your batteries with you. LOL.. really cannon, this should have come with a Lithium Ion battery. I will be returning this camera."

Great Purchase, Made My Vacation A+

Pros: compact, sturdy, easy to use, outstanding quality pics and videos
Cons: too many icons
Model Number: Powershot SX150 IS
"Camera was compact yet sturdy. Easy to learn for a novice. Battery wear was satisfying. 99% of the 500 pictures taken on vacation were of excellent quality. Very little need for flash, outdoors in the evening. I can't see this camera hindering your vacation. In fact, it will intensify great memories."

Disappointed

Model Number: Canon Powershot SX 150 IS
"EVERY time I use this camera I need to replace the batteries. I'm praying Costco will take it back and I can buy a camera that charges from an outlet like my last one. What a money sucker. I'll never buy anything again that requires batteries."

Pros: lcd works good in all light
Cons: no view finder
Model Number: Canon SX150 IS
"I like this camera. I have had it for about 2 weeks now and have found it very easy to use and to figure out. Maybe the only thing I don't like about the camera, is that it doesn't have a view finder. Glight"

Great Camera

Pros: great battery life...use proper batteries, great photos...24x30 poster quality prints, easy to use
Cons: weak flash, long flash recharge; normal for canon, point and shoot cameras
"I purchased this camera despite the fact of the reviews of poor battery performance which I knew were probably innacurate, and they were. I can assure users if they use the proper batteries, you will be able take in excess of 250 photos with each set or charge of batteries. Use rechargable Eneloops or quality lithiums and your SX150 will be ready at any time. On the other side, the camera takes excellent photos as all of the several Canon Point and Shoots I have owned over the years. This is one of the best and for $200, you cannot beat the price for its quality of photos and ease of use. I use this as a "pocket camera" when I do not feel like lugging my professional Nikon gear or when it would not be pertinent."

Very good camera

Pros: good focus abilities., very easy to use., great pictures., large lcd, large enough to hold steady but not too large, 12x optical zoom., have a class 6 sdhc card-very fast saving of pic, indescructable
Cons: flash can take awhile to recharge approx 2-3 sec., needs two attachment points for neck strap
Model Number: SX150IS
"Not sure what people are talking about with the batteries. I use Sony 2500 Ahr rechargeable batteries and they last for approx 400 + pics, even with the flash. This camera takes awesome pics, even in darkness with no flash. Just got back from Disneyland and used this camera and have some excellent/outstanding pics. The camera even got drenched (water running out of it) on Grizzly River Rapids and it continued to work flawlessly. The LCD had condensation for a few days, though.
I have tried Nikon and Fuji recently and was sorry for straying from Canon. Canon makes the best, easiest to use, logical camera, period."

Great Camera, nice on-board features

Pros: great on-board features, large zoom, great photos
Cons: wish it had 2 side hooks for over the head strap, regular (cheaper) batteries don't last very long
Model Number: SX150 IS
"This camera is built solid. It does need the "better" batteries, the regular (cheaper) don't last very long at all. DO read the manual (on disc), so you can properly take full advantage of the camera. It takes beautiful photos, great zoom, awesome HD movies (with digital sound (cable sold separately), and has AMAZING shooting effects/modes on-board, no software necessary for "fish-eye", color select, etc. It is bigger than most point&shoot,but still small enough to fit comfortably in a woman's purse, and cargo pants pockets. The sale price all around seems to be $150-180, not bad for a better point&shoot, large zoom, Canon camera. I am very pleased with my SX150 IS!!!"
