So as a regular consumer I have conducted research among more than 30 digital cameras of different brands such as Nikon, Fujifilm, Canon, Panasonic, Sony, Casio and Olympus. I was looking for several main things in my new camera: compatibility with AA batteries,compact (this canon is a bit heavy and bulky but is still ok to fit in a pocket), zoom of at least 10x, HD video, manual settings (for night photos) and low budget (below $300)Why AA batteries?Based on my nikon L2 experience (yeah, I know that camera is really old, but that's why I wanted to get a new one) that used regular AA batteries served me for filming 60+mins of video and several dozens of pictures and also looking through them on the camera, so rechargeable AAs would last at least 2x as much, right?Main complaint: Battery life is ABSOLUTELY HORRIBLE. I am about to cry because I thought and researched for an entire month on which camera to pick and this is what I get?Details of main complaint:Firstly, I took 2 panasonic general purpose batteries,- camera would start, work for 5 seconds and then shut off saying "change the batteries" Nice start, eh?Secondly, I took regular duracell batteries (brand new of course) that lasted for about 20 pics and a 6 min video and then again "change the batteries". I could still take pictures with that camera after I would wait for 30 seconds and turn it on, it would just stop after some time, so even though it works but with all these interruptions by this stupid message "change the batteries" I can't shot pictures continuously and I can't shoot a video for more than 6 minutes.Alright, ok, I'm calm, so I decided to use the big guns- brand new rechargeable 2500 mA/h NiMH GP AA batteries (I bought it specifically for this camera). Guess what? 42 pictures (wow, impressive indeed) and about 10 mins of video before the message "change the batteries". And once I try to start the camera, it starts, works for only 2 seconds and shuts off. I inserted the second pair of the same rechargeable 2500 mA/h NiMH GP AA batteries that I just charged and once I turned on the camera I saw the battery icon which meant that I should change the batteries soon. What the hell?Picture quality:I wasn't able to take ANY sharp images of moving objects such as pets- nuh-huh, all of 'em were blurry. There's is a lot of compression in the camera going on for eg. why does a 7mp pic weigh 2.2 mb whereas the same EXACT pic with 14 mp weigh only 3.38 mb? what happened to the other 1mb? I'm not an expert on cameras, I might not understand something, but I tried to look for the difference in between those shots and I found NONE (I tried really hard). Same colors, same resolution, same noise, everything the same. Btw, the pictures are noisy once you zoom in even at 80 ISO, but I guess that's ok for a $200 camera? Maybe?Night pictures are pretty good, just be sure to have a tripod so the pictures are sharp. The modes, like miniature, vivid colors, B/W, Sepia, Toy camera (really cool) and others are very nice, I loved them.Video quality:Video seems to be crisp, surely better than the 480p on my old camera, as long as you use an SDHC or SDXC card for HD video (I have a transcend SDHC class 10 8gb card) though the zoom in during the video recording is very slow (some say to prevent blurriness- bulls***, still blurry until I wait for 2 seconds or so to let it focus). For example to go from 1x to 12x zoom in a video you will have to wait for 13 seconds. "Very" fast right? The sound is stereo, no complains there. You can't take pictures while filming.Flash:Oh yeah, this baby deserves a separate paragraph. I, personally, like the idea of a manual flash, meaning you can bring it up or down manually. Ok, so you are about to push the button fully down to take a picture, just to observe that it is charging instead of taking a picture. Errr.. ok? So it charges for 2 seconds and only then you can take a picture. Once you took a picture, you have to wait for another 2 seconds for the flash to recharge, seriously? Recharging before and after? Nonsense. Sometimes the flash would recharge for even more than 2 seconds depending on the battery you have (with duracells prepare for about 5 seconds of recharge, those 2s were with the 2500 mA/h batteries)Overall score:If I had a chance, I would give this camera ZERO stars, sure the pictures are ok, and the video is ok.Let's even assume the camera has DSLR quality pictures and full HD video (which it doesn't) are you still willing to change batteries every hour, even rechargeable ones? Let's put it this way, how do you call a car that eats 60gal/mi of gasoline? Exactly-USELESS.Don't buy this, save your nerve cells and precious money, I'm returning this back and I will try to find a better camera. If you don't mind, please, tell me what are the good compact cameras with an HD video, at least 10x optical zoom, manual settings and most importantly- with a GOOD battery life.

Before I got this camera on clearance, I used a Canon Powershot A470 Point and Shoot camera, and I got this due to intermittent lens issues where the A470 lens sticks at startup, along with autofocus issues. I got it now despite my A470 still mostly working because of the price I got mine for, because I'd miss out if I didn't get it nowSo far I am very impressed with this camera, however, it does have some minor flaws that are still worth mentioning.On the A470, I only had 3.4x zoom, and this camera is 12x zoom so the extra zoom is a nice perk coming from a budget camera to this camera. I am also very impressed with the IQ of this camera, so much so that it was better then my DSLR camera at taking the same image in the same place, but it has does have some digital noise problems, most likely due to the 14 Megapixel sensor on this camera, but to be fair it is a tolerable level of noise for a sensor of this size this camera uses. This camera also beats my DSLR camera in some ways too, in particular with the DOF this has over my DSLR camera. It also produces brighter and more saturated pictures, and may even outperform a DSLR in some cases.My DSLR does better is digital noise management, but that's because it has a larger sensor(APS-C) then this camera (1/2.3) has. If noise issues can cause an issue for you, I would not recommend this camera and look at something else. I find the issue can be tamed in a program like GIMP or Photoshop just fine if I need to manage the digital noise this produces.This camera WILL NOT use MultiMediaCard since the support has been removed from this camera entirely, but this isn't a big deal since MMC never really took off and was abandoned due to lack of popularity of the format. It may support them unofficially, but I don't have any MMC cards to test this. I have never used a MMC type memory card for that matter, either. This isn't really a con, but more of a buyer's perspective if this is a pro or a con.This camera supports SD cards, SDHC, and SDXC cards, but it also has EyeFi support too, so you can use a EyeFi cards to their full potential in this camera. Due to the SDXC support, you can buy 64GB+ memory cards for this camera too, which makes it even more appealing. Personally, I don't see MMC support being missed when this cam use SD cards larger then 32GB instead. This is certainly a pro, because if you can find cheap SDXC cards, you can use them because they require new reader Hardware inside the camera due to using a different Filesytem and architecture to make such a capacity a reality. I hate to say it, but the thing I think will put these older cameras without SDXC support down is the new Hardware required to use these cards that these older cameras lack. If this sounds like a bad business move, the same thing happened when they went to SDHC from standard SD cards-you probably needed a new camera, unless the manufacturer released a updated Firmware for your camera(spoiler alert: most didn't). Some card readers that don't list SDXC support anywhere don't seem to have a problem with SDXC cards, so you may be in luck if your card reader doesn't list SDXC specifically. My OEM card reader in my Inspiron 530s can read SDXC no problem, so I don't see SDXC compatibility being a major problem with a good chunk of existing card readers. I cannot say for sure if your card reader will read these cards, so you will have to test your reader and see what happens. If yours does, consider yourself lucky. Also, if you reader doesn't accommodate SDHC cards, there is no chance of this being possible, and you will need a new reader. If your card reader doesn't like SDXC cards, I have linked to one if this is the case in the Software section of this review.Battery issuesI see this complaint a lot about AA battery cameras in general, and it gets old very, very quickly: Battery life is a jokeAlkaline batteries CAN NOT be used in ANY digital camera unless you want the runtime to suffer. You have to use Lithium or Rechargeable batteries in it if you want more then 110 pictures out of this, you need Lithium or Rechargeable batteries for good runtime.With NiMh batteries, you get 320 pictures per set of batteries, which isn't too bad but can be improved on by using Lithium batteries.In fact, I would just not even use the bundled batteries, and just use Rechargeable batteries from the start and just bundle a battery charger and rechargeable batteries with the cost of this camera at purchase. You can't do much about the Alkaline battery issue in any digital camera using AA batteries, and the only real way to fix this is use different batteries. In future models, Canon should not include batteries and let the buyer supply batteries to save a little money on this camera. I went as far as to leave the AA batteries in the box because I just used my NiMh batteries in this camera from the start. But you should know these will affect flash recycling times, so charge your flash in advance so you don't miss t

I purchased this camera in October of 2011 after my old point-and-shoot finally kicked the bucket. I needed something that was a step up from a P&S, but not too big. I chose this, and I'm glad I did. I love this camera. I've taken over 1000 photos and 25 videos so far, and I haven't encountered any serious issues yet.Overall, the camera body feels nice. It's a little larger than the smaller point-and-shoot cameras, so it wont really fit well in your pocket like other little point-and-shoots (fits in coat pockets though). It's also a little heavy, but I actually like that because it feels like I'm holding a real camera. I'm a 5'11" slim male, and this fits perfectly in my right hand. It's not rubberized at all, but there are grooves on the front and back of the camera that allow for a nice firm grip, and it comes with a little cord to go around your wrist. I'm not worried about dropping this thing at all. The buttons are large and easy to press. Also, Canon seems to be known for user-friendly menus within the camera. It took me 2 seconds to figure out this menu system.These claims of 20 or 30 photos on a new pair of batteries is ridiculous! Don't bother using the cheapo alkaline batteries that come with it, just save them for your TV remote or something. When I bought this camera, I bought two pairs of rechargeable Energizers to go with it. I don't use those batteries for anything but this camera, and I always stick them in the charger when I get home after using the camera, so I have two fresh pairs when I leave the house the next day. Like I said, I've taken a bunch of photos with this, and I've only had to change out the batteries a few times along the way. I haven't actually kept track to see exactly how many photos I can take on one set of batteries, so don't ask me for a specific number. I just know one day I took 50 photos and 20 minutes of video without killing the batteries. Another day, I took 70 photos where each photo was a 15 second exposure on a 2-second timer, so it probably took a little more juice for each photo than a regular snapshot. The camera was also on for at least two hours straight that day, and the batteries didn't actually die... The days where the batteries do die is when I'm out with my friends taking many photos, lengthy videos, constantly browsing through menus to adjust settings, etc... Really though, I don't have a problem with battery life. Note: Right when I got this camera, I adjusted any power saving options I could find so that I could make my batteries last as long as possible. Turning down the LCD brightness and whatnot is something I do with all of my electronics. I suggest you do the same.The video mode is nice. It records 1280x720, very nice quality video. The sound is OK. You can zoom in and out while recording, though you can hear the motor moving a little bit. The only time you wont hear it is when taking video where there is loud music or other noise. It also zooms in and out fairly slowly. This may be a problem if you plan on using this mainly for video. If that's your plan, go get yourself an actual camcorder. Your son's baseball game really deserves better than this. I use this video mode for little moments with friends that I want to upload to Facebook/Youtube, and maybe just the grand finale of a fireworks show (but certainly not the whole show).The colors and sharpness are great. It focuses well and generally chooses the correct settings. It also offers various manual controls, which are pretty easy to use. I'm able to play around with shutter speed, aperture, ISO, white balance, and several creative filters. Though I shot in auto mode all the time when I first got this camera, I usually find myself flipping it into manual mode quite often these days. Occasionally, the automatic settings actually chose better settings than I do, but there are other times where the camera just isn't seeing exactly what I'm seeing, and these manual controls allow me to fix this and capture exactly what it is that my eyes see. I personally don't let the ISO go past 400 because photos do come out quite grainy in the high ISO settings. I compensate with the widest aperture possible and a longer shutter speed. Because of these manual controls, this camera actually does very well in low-light situations, assuming you have at least somewhat steady hands. Otherwise, there's a nice flash on top of the camera you can just pop up when you feel it's necessary.Also, I feel as though it is very important to point out that this camera, like many others, does NOT come with a memory card. I don't understand why people are complaining about that. It's NORMAL for cameras to not come with a memory card. I got a SanDisk 16GB SDHC card to go with my camera, which is really more than enough (I could even use this card in an SLR). I also decided to get an SDHC card reader so that I wouldn't have to plug a cord into my camera and turn it on every time I want to pull my photos off it. It's just muc

Had the camera a few days and giving it good marks, especially for picture quality. I especially bought this camera for two main reasons. I wanted one with a decent mega-pixel rating and also a good OPTICAL zoom. This camera has both. The operation is not intuitive so I did have to do some homework but much of it was "easy" to operate but I wonder if part of that is because I've owned a digital camera before this one.And to address other's statements that the camera doesn't have an "automatic" flash---big deal, does not bother me one bit to physically lift the flash protector----takes less than a second. And the other issue of using batteries up quickly----not a big problem with me either. I already had 4 rechargeable AA batteries and just bought four more. (HINT: If buying rechargeable batteries, buy ones of a different brand from one another so you will not mix the used ones with the fresh) Considering the camera only holds two batteries, quick usage can be expected. I just carry my spares in my camera bag.One thing does bother me a little and that is the fact that it is "slippery". There is no textured or rubberized plastic on which to grip the camera and keep a good grasp. I think I may just get in the habit of putting the wrist strap around my wrist and spinning it a few times to tighten. The camera would be better to have two places on which to attach a strap that you could put around your neck.And I'm not sure about the quality of the Macro function with this camera. (Took me a while to realize that option is not available in the Auto mode.) Don't know if the detail is questionable because when I open the photos in my Cannon software, I can magnify the view so many times that eventually it appears poor. So that's a relative observation, at best. But the movie quality is very good, especially when using the zoom. I don't bother with the digital zoom but even that didn't look bad. Need to get a tripod to hold the camera steady when zooming during a movie! (Or maybe a "mono-pod")?One thing I found lacking in the Cannon down-loadable Zoombrowser EX software was the inability to downsize photos, and I miss my Photoshop ability to warm the photo with its "Temperature" option. Haven't looked deep enough for a way to warm a photo through Cannon's camera software so forgive me. But you have the option of setting the camera to take lower resolution photos, so you can email them easier. However, I've found that the quality isn't as good as when I take the photo in full resolution, edit it in other software and downsize it, to send it in an email attachment.One GREAT feature is the on-screen "notes" explaining what the different settings do, while choosing different settings on the camera! It's a quick summary of the function without having to refer to an manual.Others mentioned the speed at which the camera takes photos too. Again, doesn't bother me at all because I don't find myself in a position of having to take multiple photos in a row. But I also find that the on/off button is being accidentally hit when taking the camera out of my camera case. It would be better to have that more recessed so you wouldn't turn the power on by mistake.Overall, for the price, this is a pretty good deal and you also have the Cannon name and quality behind you. I'd recommend to a friend.UPDATE: Okay, I've had the camera for over three months and I have concerns over the movie mode when using the camera. When filming, when I move from right to left or "side to side" the camera has a problem keeping up with the movement and at the instant I change direction, the picture appears "sloshy" for the lack of a better adjective. For instance, when filming a scene with a four foot high railing, when changing direction, the railing appears to wobble back-and-forth. Same thing for any object I'm filming when I change directions. I also have had a problem with the zoom when filming. Two out of three times, the camera does not focus correctly when zooming at an object that is far away. I'm talking a distance of approx. three miles. Don't know if that is typical of cameras like this but on the third try, the object will focus correctly. So, I moved my five star rating down from five stars to four.Second update: Problems with zoom. Can now "hear" the zoom in my videos and the zoom does not respond correctly. Focus is not good when zooming either. Question quality. Would not buy again.

To me, Canon is a very reliable brand name for digital camera.You will have good Image Quality (IQ), descent functionality and best customer care from Canon that's why I purchased this Canon SX150 IS camera.When I unboxed camera, I felt that hey... its sort of chubby version of Point and shoot (P&S) camera.This camera is indeed VERY BULKY compare to all available camera in P&S-Pocket size category. Measuring 1.8 x 4.5 x 2.9 inches and heavy too weighting 10.7 ounces. This numbers may not catch your eyes immediately or it looks normal. But you have to look, touch and feel to realize how chubby and heavy this camera is.Also, if you try to look 'Beauty' in this camera, perhaps you won't be able to find it. I means to say design of this camera may or may not catch your eyes. I know it is totally subjective so you have to check it your self. One more thing, by touching camera you may feel some what 'plasticky' material that is cheaply made.This camera failed to catch my interest in Tactile aspect.Next step was testing it and I wanted to test it with indoor and outdoor to check IQ.Lets talk about outdoor performance first.As a typical Canon camera, its perfect for outdoor shooting. What I noticed is, decent IQ at low ISO, sharp picture without any noise (at lowest ISO), rich color, good zoom range (Perfect for travel), fast enough to catch kids and pets moments, balanced exposure and much more that should be in a perfect mid range P&S camera.One good news for this camera is about its battery life.Yes, it is indeed battery eater camera if you use 'Normal Alkaline' batteries. But if you upgrade batteries with High Capacity rechargeable NiMH batteries (2000 mAh or above), you can take 100s of snaps with almost entire day shooting and hunting with spare pair of batteries.Conclusion so far, it passed day time outdoor shooting, passed battery performance (only if you have high capacity NiMH batteries) and failed tactile aspect of camera.Now some discussion about indoor shooting.I got shocked to see performance of this camera in indoor setup.I knew that this is not 'Fast' camera, but I didn't know that it is 'Very Slow' camera. What does it mean you are unable to catch your kids' and pets' precious moments without having blur image. If you put camera on Auto mode and shoot it with High ISO, you may have blur free images but other side picture will be have full of noise.Either side you will loose. In indoor setting you only get either blurry or noisy images. No matter how cute your kids or pets are, they will always look very ordinary with 'little help of this Canon SX150 camera'.Why we take thousands of pics of out kids or pets? Because we want to 'Freeze' present precious moments for tomorrows remembrance. And I am sure you will not be pleased with IQ of this camera to make moments forever.Did I hear some one saying using flash to eliminate this problem?Well... well... wait till I unveil most unacceptable aspect of this camera.Flash performance of this camera is very worst ever I have seen. Here also you will have 'Loose-Loose situation'. How? Well, if you check IQ of pictures taken with flash on, you will get disappointment. They are not natural looking pictures.Worst part yet to come. And thats its flash to flash time interval. Just look at your kid/pet right now take a mental picture of them and just say 1, 2, 3, ...7 and then again take a mental picture.Did you miss anything that you wanted to take picture of? I bet you missed many moments worth of shooting while you were counting till 7. Why I asked you to count till 7? Well because this camera take exact 6.5 seconds to 'Charge its Flash' before you can use this camera with flash. Don't you think in today's 21st century Jet era when everything is performing very fast (in seconds or milliseconds), waiting for 6-7 seconds to charger flash of your camera seems like living in 19th century? Yes it is.In a nutshell:Pros:Good IQ outdoor shootingAcceptable battery life using NiMH batteriesBig enough suits for large handsCanon interface-easy to operate even to unfamiliar personsD-pad to scroll smoothlyManual control-Aperture, shutter priority and full manual control to play with cameraFun filters to 'Play' with cameraCons:Horrible flash performance - IQ with flash worst, flash charging for 6-7 seconds worst of the worstPoor indoor IQSlowest camera of Mid range P&S classBulkier, heavier than every other cameraOnly few scenes in scene mode. Even not like kids, pets, sunset, panorama, sports,Battery life with Alkaline batteries???If you plan to purchase this camera, don't forget to consider these accessories as well.Case Logic QPB-202 EVA Molded Flash Camcorder or Medium Zoom Camera Case (Black) (check my detail review for this case also to know it very well)Transcend 8 GB Class SDHC 10 Flash Memory CardSanyo NEW 1500 eneloop 4 Pack AA Ni-MH Pre-Charged Rechargeable Batteries with ChargerYou can also consider Other camera for same price range with far more better than this.Pa

The new Canon SX 150 camera should probably be subtitled, "Possibly The Best All-Around, Point-And-Shoot, Off-Road-Adventure Camera - Affordable - for the Average Person Today."I recently bought this camera, the SX 150 HS, and I also have owned/used the earlier models in this same line for several years now - the SX 110, SX 120, and SX 130 - so I have several years experience with it, all of it very positive. Yes, it runs on AA batteries, but that is the GOOD NEWS! If you don't like that, then buy one of the 100 other cameras available that don't use them. Use some form of proprietary lithium-ion battery instead which will set you back $25 to $75 apiece for each spare battery, and it will not even last two functioning years. You will also need several of those batteries for any extended trip, and when you buy your next camera they won't fit it, so you can then just throw away that extra $100 to $200 in useless, expensive, non-interchangeable batteries.Now if you are an average person who doesn't HAVE an extra $100 to $200 to throw away every couple of years on proprietary batteries that only fit one camera, then please read on.This is the LAST REMAINING, top quality, 2-AA battery, point-and-shoot camera left on the market, people. There are some very good economical reasons to PREFER that choice. Anywhere you travel, you can ALWAYS buy - or borrow - AA batteries to keep it going. The AA batteries are about as universal an item as exists on the planet, so you can still keep shooting this camera almost anywhere you go. But you absolutely should use rechargeable AAs whenever you can to save money - a LOT of money. And they last much longer on each charge. I get about 350 large JPEG photos per charged set, and since I sometimes shoot a lot of photos in one place, I always carry at least two pairs of backup batteries to swap out.&&&&&&&UPDATE EDIT: In Dec. 2011, I bought my first few sets of Sanyo eneloop AA rechargeable batteries. Since then I have used them very, very successfully in this camera. On a recent field trip to the local mountains near Monterey, CA, I set out with a fully-charged pair of eneloop AA batteries in the SX150, and I carried a backup pair of eneloop AAs just in case. I did a full day of shooting with 425 full-sized JPEGs and 8 minutes of HD video, and I used a lot of zoom and frequently turned the camera off and on too. That is a LOT of battery use for one set of AA batteries. The batteries finally ran out early the next day as I was testing some of the features on the camera. It is my understanding that it costs less than 1 cent apiece in household current to recharge them each time, and that they are guaranteed to recharge at least 1500 times. And they are also supposed to hold about 70% of their full charge even after three years just sitting on a shelf! (Unlike the older style of rechargeable AA batteries that lost their charge fairly quickly.) Since they last at least 2 to 3 times as long as standard alkaline batteries on each charge, that would represent a total savings of at least $1500 (fifteen hundred dollars) over the cost of buying 3000 alkaline batteries on sale at only 50 cents apiece FOR EACH PAIR OF AA ENELOOP BATTERIES that you would use on any other household devices in your own home. Don't think of them as just being for use in a camera. They work in everything requiring AA batteries. Flashlights, computer mice, remotes (they make them in AAA too), children's toys, shop tools, wall clocks or anything else you might use them for in your home. They sell for about $20 on Amazon for an 8-pack of them. That represents a savings of about $6000 over the 1500 cycle lifetime of each 8-pack of eneloop batteries you buy and use instead of regular alkaline batteries. Do the math yourself and you will be astounded by how many thousands of dollars they can save you around your home over a period of 5, 10 or even 20 years.BTW - As a special note. The "low battery" light comes on in the SX150 camera long before the batteries are actually dead. That is because the SX150 is calibrated for 1.5 volt alkaline AA batteries. The Sanyo eneloop AA rechargeable batteries only recharge to about 1.2 volts or 1.3 volts at most. The camera "thinks" they are low because it looks for a low voltage to decide that. Some cameras do have a menu item to change the battery check away from alkaline batteries (at 1.5 volts) to rechargeable batteries (at 1.2 or 1.3 volts), but I don't think the SX150 gives you that option. Just keep using them until they actually do run out and you will be surprised at how long they really do last.Best wishes to all, - John&&&&&&&&Regular alkaline batteries don't last long, and are obviously WAY too expensive to use in any AA battery camera for more than very occasional shooting. That is printed right in the instruction manual. Honestly, you are just supposed to know that fact ahead of time.You only use alkaline batteries in emergencies when you simply run ou
