Good picture quality. Decent built. Good zoom. Easy to use. Manual controls
A low-cost camera with a generous 12x zoom, but in most other respects – including image and video quality – it's nothing special and battery performance is a worry ...
The Canon Powershot SX150 IS has its share of niggles. But it is nevertheless a good buy. Definitely, not an upgrade over its predecessor but worth a look for first-time buyers. Casual users who wish to have a truckload of manual controls will enjoy th...

Poor LCD screen. Only 720p video recording.
Overall the Canon SX150 IS impresses. It combines great picture and video quality with advanced controls in an attractive body. It's a shame the LCD won't let your pictures show you how good they are when you're still out and about shooting, but it sho...

Great shots in daylight, Impressive zoom, Plenty of manual options

Very short battery life, NiMH rechargeables are almost a necessity, Respectable but not standout image quality, fairly high noise/low resolution at high ISOs, Slow response; worse than competition, Manual pop-up flash, Optical zoom audible in movies, N...
Although I liked using the Canon PowerShot SX150 IS and the results I achieved with it in good light, I can't personally get very enthusiastic about it, given its quirks and slow response, even at its current street price of roughly $179. That said, it...
Abstract: Canon's PowerShot range has long offered the promise of full manual control and good image quality, although often at price points above the consumer level. The PowerShot SX150IS, however, arrives with all these characteristic traits but with a price t...
The Canon PowerShot SX150 IS is very much a minor upgrade of last year's SX130 model, principally offering 2 additional megapixels, an improved image stabilisation system, a range of creative filters and a handy one-touch movie record button. Otherwis...
