Question: Which camera to choose? Narrowed down list Canon Powershot SX150Canon Powershot SX210Panaonic Lumix DMC-ZS8Nikon Coolpix 8200The 8200 I'm shying away from because it's around $300  - handled really well in the store ..
Document: I did a lot of research after the LCD screen broke on my Nikon Coolpix (my fault...I dropped it and found it the next day when my family went apple picking. It was completely intact minus the LCD screen). This wasn't one of the cameras on my list when I went to a store to see & try out the various cameras I was going to choose from. I saw this and fell in love.
I bought this camera to replace my Canon powershot A710IS. The SX150IS is a nice step up. It does a wonderful job in low light situations. The HD video is superb in low light situations as well. I'm especially happy with the recording mics on this camera. I use the video record option while at very loud karaoke bars. The sound is great, never over modulated.There are too many features to list here about this camera. Included is the owner's manual on cd.
Had a Canon Powershot SX120 IS 10MP before and totally loved it. After moisture damage I had to replace it. Tried some other brand cameras and none really compared to the dependability and capabilities of the Canon SX120 IS 10 MP. After returning a couple of other brand cameras decided to purchase the latest Canon Powershot SX150 14.1 MP. I am loving the dependability of this camera too. Takes clear shots. Has many many settings to choose from. You can go all auto or make your own manual changes.
And image stabilization really works well. This camera could better use strap lugs, rings, and a shoulder strap instead of a wrist strap. Ring type selector around the function set button beats hell out of a slew of tiny buttons and lots of tabbed sub menus. - A little too easy to bump things tho while intending to change one setting and accidentally changing another.Experiments moving from sensitivity of 80 or 100 have been mixed. I'm not impressed.
This is my second Canon camera and I absolutely love it. I broke the first one and could not find one like it in our stores around here and bought a digital Canon Powershot A3300IS and it just did not work as well as my first one, so I went looking and found the one I have now and I love the way it works, and I love that it uses batteries instead of having to be charged.
I have only had the camera for a few days & I'm so happy I opted for this one. My last camera was the Sony Cybershot & before that a Nikon Coolpix (1 of the early models), & while they are good cameras there were flaws that I couldn't get around.
Great pictures & easy to use. Out of the box able to use right away. Really liked being able to use AA batteries. Can get a dozen at the Dollar store for $3. Very happy with this purchase.
But hey, i can live with it as it is. Well worth the money spent overall i feel happy to recommend this camera without reservation.It's an act hard to follow for the money spent and features given, want $1.500 DSLR performance? thats what you need to buy. Want a really good all around camera for not a lot of $$, you'll be very happy with the Canon SX 150 IS
I purchased this camera at over half-off the list price for my mother, a novice digital camera user who simply wanted it to take snapshots at various functions with the occasional outdoor shot thrown in. Features were less important than ease of use and quality output. She also needed a camera that wasn't too small, and easy to hold.The Canon PowerShot SX150 offered an inexpensive option for her.
my previous cannon powershot had finally died. this newer model is awesome. i carry my camera around all the time, i like the amount of zoom and pixels for such a portable camera and the viewer is large enough for my aging eyes to see what i'm taking pictures of!
Answer: Hello Amy. I see that you've not gotten a reply yet for a few days. I own the Canon SX130is camera that is nearly identical to that of the next version, the SX150is. I even owned the previous model of mine now, SX120is. THe only reason for the upgrade was to get HD video and stereo sound. Other than that, I loved that camera too. I've not studied the others you are deciding on but just looked them over. THere's not a "night & day" major difference between them. Differences of 2x zoom power is not major IMHO. Frames per second in burst mode shooting is. Size may be a factor too. But I can tell you why I like my camera. A manual flip up flash allows unmistakeable control over the flash and keeps the camera from waisting power charging for a flash that you didn't need for that shot. The option of complete manual settings is a must. And the advantage of using AA batteries gives you limitless flexibility of power. Don't let the negative reviews tell you that you cannot take lots of photos with this camera. If you get some high capacity rechargable batteries and enough for an extra set, you'll be good. Several here have recommended Sanyo Eneloop brand cells. That they come precharged and hold that charge for extended periods of storage time. A friend of mine used them and swears by them. I use Ansmann 2850 mAh batteries (which are higher capacity) and they give me nearly 200 more shots in my Canon SX20is than what is rated in the camera manual.
