Full manual mode, Lithium ion battery, Easy to use
No full HD movie recording, Can take a while to focus while zooming, Lack of CMOS sensor
If you're looking for a point and shoot capable of a little extra then the SX170 will probably tick all of your boxes and more. Easy to use, good value for money and rugged enough to survive life's knocks and bumps...

Sharp lens. 16x zoom range. Good control layout.
Images on the noisy side. Slow performance. So-so rear display. Video capture is limited to 720p. No Wi-Fi. Not exactly pocketable

12fach-Zoom, Schnell genug für Schnappschüsse, Kantenschärfe bei Tageslicht
Stets sichtbares Rauschen, Nur HD-Videos, Sichtbare Farbsäume, Starker Schärfeverlust im Tele, Träge Serienaufnahme, Wenige Effektfilter
Die Canon IXUS 170 zeigt sich im Test als Reisezoom-Kamera im handlichen Format. Die Bildschärfe bei Tageslicht kann überzeugen, der Fokus stellt für Schnappschüsse schnell genug scharf. Trotz des günstigen Preises bleiben Objektivgüte sowie Ausstattung ...
