Canon PowerShot SX150 IS - simple and inexpensive

Canon PowerShot SX150 IS review

A bad dancer’s legs also get in the way or Prove to me that a DSLR is better + Lots of photos from the Canon SX 150 IS

I saw unflattering reviews about my beloved Canon on Airek and was offended

Let's impartially consider all the pros and cons of this camera (although, looking ahead, it has no cons )

From the manufacturer:

The PowerShot SX150 IS allows anyone to take beautiful photos with 14.1 megapixel resolution, as well as shoot HD videos with 12x optical zoom. Setting options ranging from Intelligent Auto Adjust to Full Manual Control cater to photographers of all levels.

12x zoom, 28mm wide-angle lens

Intelligent IS14.1MP CCD Image Sensor

Intelligent Auto Setup and Easy Mode recognize 32 types of scenes.

LCD screen 7.5 cm (3.0″)

HD videos with stereo sound

Full manual control

Smart Shutter and Wink Timer

Price. The camera was purchased for 800 hryvnia, i.e. at that time 100 dollars (now it would be less than 80). The device has no equal in its price segment.

Many people are now suffering from “DSLRs”. I’ll tell you, as a person who has a DSLR (and which, thanks to this Canon, is gathering dust in the box) - to achieve the same photo quality, blur and clarity, you need to invest at least 3 thousand dollars (this is for the amateur level, for the professional you will need a more expensive matrix + all sorts of softboxes/flashes/reflectors, in general, at least 5 thousand USD)

Appearance. The camera feels nice in the hand. I would say that this model is more feminine, but, for example, 110 is more likely to be masculine. In terms of functions, the cameras of the entire line are practically the same, so it is better to choose not by type, but by what is cheaper.

Functionality.

The camera has 6 automatic programs and 4 manual ones.

Automatic:

Auto mode - well, it’s clear that you don’t need to do anything. Press the button and tell me how bad the photo is and enjoy

Simple mode - how it differs from Auto, I still don’t understand, but it has a beautiful icon - with a heart

SCN mode, also known as Scene, also known as Portrait - the flash does not turn on so as not to hurt your eyes, a very low ISO is automatically set, everything is fine (people who complained about portraits, as far as I understand, did not see this button).

Let's move on, Fisheye Mode. This seems to be a feature of this model; others do not have it. Looks funny (the first time 20 times, then not used). For the same reason, I once again advocate not going too much into the minor differences of the entire line, but simply saving money. It looks as if there is a round lens installed in front of the lens, i.e. something like this:

Grow, do you have any carrots?

Quiet mode - also James Bond's best assistant - shooting without any sounds (in case you decide to catch your husband or children helping him steal a cake from the refrigerator )

Video mode. It is positioned as a model with HD video, but in reality you are unlikely to notice with the naked eye much of a difference between camera video with a resolution of 720 or 640. The video mode is activated with a quick button (that red thing in the photo) from any mode, which is convenient if necessary photograph the remains of the ill-fated cake

Manual:

Program. Allows you to set white balance and ISO. You don’t have to set it - then it will be set automatically. About white balance - this is quite important in this case - since all Canons, as for me, are guilty of overexposing the frame.

Shutter priority, also known as TV , allows you to change the shutter speed in the range from 15″ to 2500. A high shutter speed gives something like this:

But a fast shutter speed will allow you to get even this (try taking a photo like this on a DSLR with an 18-55 kit lens - I will laugh in your face. The best thing you will get is a yellow spot like a fly).

Aperture priority, also known as AV, is a value from 3.4 to 8.0. Allows you to create a beautiful “mirror-like” blur outside the object you are focusing on.

Manual, also known as completely manual , allows you to control all possible settings at the same time. If you are not too lazy to tinker, and the object of your photo hunt does not run away, this mode will delight you with photographs of the best quality.

In fact, the macro function is available in every mode; it looks great, renders colors without distortion, there’s nothing to complain about:

You can catch this beauty:

Or not quite a charm:

Or the important May bug:

Well, just a few photos to complete the overall picture:

Pros:

+ if you are not a professional photographer who makes a living from photography (you don’t take pictures of Naomi Campbell, do you?) - this is the optimal camera for you in virtually all respects;

+ if you want to not just “press a button”, but learn something, this is the ideal camera;

+ if, after all, you are a woman and you don’t like carrying a 2-kilogram camera with you every time, gracefully running after a bird with it, this camera is ideal for you.

Minuses:

— Among my friends there are 2 more owners of this camera (models 110 and 130). Over 3-5 years of use, none of them have ever complained about a single glitch that occurred.

Conclusion:

The best device in terms of price-quality-convenience-opportunities.

PS Photos are not processed. Yes, for a tasty result you need good light and for your arms to grow from your shoulders, but this is up to your luck, and the camera itself is not responsible for this!

Pros and cons of the Canon PowerShot SX150 IS

12x zoom Ergonomic design Build quality Manual flash control Creative zone modes (P; AV; TV; M) Manual white balance AA batteries sold anywhere.

The quality of the photos pleased me! Beautiful in appearance! Comfortable!

An ordinary, mid-budget camera. Good quality photos, convenient controls. The settings I use mostly are automatic or children/animals. There are many other settings for fans, which is not typical for cameras of this class. I also join everyone who spoke above regarding the merits.

price and many modes and AA batteries

High-quality stabilization, large zoom, AA batteries, design, good sound in video

The overall ease of use and breadth of functions are the same as the previous 120 and 130 models.

Easy to learn, cute, inexpensive, very good quality. but don't buy from ultra store

Quite fast switching on, adequate optics, a lot of exposure control options.

I didn’t find it)) the main thing is that your hands are not from your ass)

Too many megapixels on such a compact matrix produce excessive noise.
Low resolution of the camera screen
Dimensions do not allow you to easily fit the device in your pocket

Not revealed yet

The quality of the photos, for me it’s frankly green, shooting in the evening ensures a non-acidic graininess. Plus slow autofocus. If you shoot a video, your batteries will die in 4 minutes. That is, filming a video is a little problematic.

1. I confirm - the flash takes a very long time to charge.
I haven’t encountered this in any of my previous cameras. 2. I confirm - the camera is very battery hungry. If these are simple batteries, they will be discharged in a few hours. If these are batteries, then it is very sensitive to charge. If 1/3 remains, it may no longer work.

The sensor and shutter speed are a bit slow

The battery indicator is not always correct, the matrix is ​​noisy

A sharp drop in shooting quality due to the extreme increase in megapixel size of a small matrix.

It eats batteries catastrophically.
The settings wheel on the rear panel is too easy to press, and changing the shutter speed or aperture can accidentally change the focus or flash mode.

Canon PowerShot SX150 IS review

Compact cameras with ultrasonics are very popular among photography enthusiasts. However, finding an ultrasonic on the market that has both modest dimensions, maximum functionality and a relatively low price is a very difficult task. Therefore, many people will probably be interested in the ultra-compact from Canon called the PowerShot SX150 IS.

Budget camera models from Canon traditionally deserve the closest attention, because, despite their relatively low cost, they are ahead of their competitors in many respects. The Canon PowerShot SX150 IS is a budget digital camera with a 12x zoom and a focal length range from 20 to 336 mm. A compact camera with a large zoom and the possibility of full manual control will appeal to many Russian photography enthusiasts, because the price of an advanced ultrazoom starts from only 6,000 rubles. Let's see what other advantages the SX150 IS camera has besides its low price.

Frame

At the very beginning, it should be noted that in comparison with many of its competitors, the PowerShot SX150 IS camera turned out to be quite weighty and heavy. And the dimensions of the device, as you know, play an important role in the compact camera segment. The weight of the SX150 IS camera, including batteries and memory card, is about 317 g. Despite the relatively high weight, the camera is very comfortable to hold in your hands. First of all, thanks to the ergonomic shape of the case and the thoughtful layout of the keys. The protrusion on the front panel allows you to comfortably hold the camera with one hand.

Thus, on the one hand, the camera turned out to be quite large and heavy, and on the other hand, its dimensions provide a more comfortable grip compared to devices with more compact dimensions. The body of the SX150 IS itself is made entirely of plastic, on which, thanks to the high-quality paint and varnish coating, no fingerprints remain. The model is available in three body colors – silver, black and red. The build quality of the case is not satisfactory. All the buttons on the body are very conveniently located and are within the reach of the thumb, which allows you to operate the camera with one hand.

Sensor and 12x Canon Zoom Lens

In terms of its internal equipment, the Canon PowerShot SX150 IS camera looks quite simple. It uses a 14.1-megapixel CCD sensor and DIGIC 4 image processor. The sensor allows you to shoot high-resolution photos and print images in large formats. The sensitivity level is fairly standard for compact cameras - from 80 to 1600 ISO, with the ability to increase to 3200 ISO (scene program).

The advantage of the camera, of course, is the 12x zoom in combination with the 28 mm Canon ZoomLens wide-angle lens. Thanks to a wide range of focal lengths (28 - 336 mm), the user can shoot both family celebrations and landscapes and close-up portraits. The 12x zoom helps the camera get closer to distant objects. The Canon ZoomLens lens features a floating element that corrects the path of light rays through the lens to compensate for camera shake when shooting handheld. The optical stabilization system is capable of independently determining optimal working conditions, adjusting and selecting one of seven scenes so that the photos are as sharp as possible. The lens itself operates almost silently.

The PowerShot SX150 IS has fairly accurate and fast autofocus, even at maximum zoom or wide-angle. There is a continuous (servo) autofocus system for shooting dynamic subjects. It works when the shutter button is constantly pressed halfway.

LCD screen and video recording

The SX150 IS is equipped with a display that is quite modest for these times. The 3-inch LCD screen has a resolution of only 230 pixels, so individual pixels are clearly visible on it, which naturally negatively affects the display quality. In addition, the display does not have an anti-glare coating. Accordingly, in direct sunlight, assessing exposure using such an LCD screen becomes problematic. Viewing angles are also unimpressive, making overhead or waist-level shooting difficult. At the same time, the camera naturally does not have an optical viewfinder.

The video recording mode is standard. The maximum image resolution is 1280x720 pixels. A special button on the device body is responsible for starting instant recording of high-quality HD videos with stereo sound. There is the possibility of autofocus during video recording, as well as dynamic and enhanced image stabilization for shooting on the move. The now popular function of simultaneous video and photo shooting is not available in the SX150 IS camera.

Shooting modes

The compact camera Canon PowerShotSX150 IS can definitely be recommended to beginning photographers, because this device is easy to learn and has an intuitive interface. For beginners, there is a SmartAuto auto-tuning mode, in which the camera uses the scene recognition system. For example, if there are people in the frame, the camera automatically switches to “Portrait” mode with all the ensuing settings. Depending on the shooting conditions, the camera can independently select one of 32 scene programs.

Compared to the previous generation camera, the SX130 IS has added four new modes, which mainly relate to tracking objects moving in the frame. In addition, the SX150 IS's user interface offers helpful tips to help you quickly become familiar with the camera's capabilities and learn how to take better photos in a variety of shooting situations.

For more advanced users, the camera has a manual mode, which means the photographer’s hands will be completely free, he will be able to freely control various settings and focus manually. Among the capabilities of the SX150 IS camera, it is worth noting the face recognition mode, complemented by blink and smile detection functions.

In this mode, the camera automatically detects the faces of people in the frame and recognizes smiles - as soon as one of the people being photographed smiles, the device takes a photo. To turn on the timer when shooting group portraits, you just need to wink at the camera, that is, blinking initiates the start of the self-timer. This timer also starts when a new face is detected in the frame. All these features allow you to take great family photos without any extra effort.

Nutrition

A feature of the PowerShot SX150 IS that you need to pay attention to is that it does not use a proprietary battery, but standard AA size (LR6) power sources. The use of conventional batteries as a power source allowed the manufacturer to somewhat reduce the cost of a compact camera, because there is no traditional charger and battery. But this decision seems quite contradictory.

On the one hand, AA batteries will be very convenient for those people who travel a lot, taking a compact camera with them. Power supplies of this type can be purchased almost anywhere in the world and are widely used. On the other hand, the resource of such batteries is consumed almost instantly - just a few dozen frames and the batteries can be thrown away. So you will always have to take at least two sets of batteries with you. If you use rechargeable power sources of this type, then you will have to purchase a charger and a set of batteries for the camera, which will result in additional costs. Whether using batteries as power sources for a compact camera is a plus or a minus is up to each user to decide individually.

To summarize, it can be noted that there are no revolutionary changes in comparison with the SX130 IS model. However, the Canon PowerShot SX150 IS camera boasts a good optical zoom, thoughtful ergonomics, an advanced stabilization system and a user-friendly interface. The disadvantages of the camera are its not the most compact dimensions and a more than modest LCD screen. But these shortcomings are fully compensated by the low price of the device. Obviously, in its class of compact ultrazooms or travel zooms, the PowerShot SX150 IS model will be in great demand on the market.

• Duration of use: Less than a month

records sound in video very well

good video quality

size (we wanted to take the SX230, but it’s too compact and you’ll get caught in the buttons and it’s not convenient to hold in your hand, it’s likely to fall)

AV cable not included

such a small matrix can have fewer megapixels!

It’s a pity that it’s not 4x AA, the grip would be more comfortable and the flash would charge faster.

optimal price/quality ratio.

• Duration of use: More than a year

SDHC card support

Video 720p (HD) [up to 30 minutes in HD]

Comfortable to hold

Good sound quality on video (if you don't use zoom)

When shooting video, if you use zoom, you can then hear the sound of the engine.

In the “low light” mode there is a lot of noise, although this mode is not particularly important; it works better manually.

I quickly ate up the batteries until I bought a Duracell 2450mAh (more than 2 hours of video recording turned out)

Sometimes in Auto mode it misses the mark with focusing or temperature, or something else (but that’s why it has manual settings)

I bought it for 5200 (I looked and the price dropped even lower). Yes, for this price everything is fine. The pictures taken are quite normal, the video is also decent, if higher quality is needed, then the price is appropriate. It is better to choose batteries up to 2500 mAh for it; others somehow ran out quickly.

Fell several times from a small height, minor scratches, but works properly (although the battery somehow came off after that and I had to constantly set the time every time I turned it on, after repairing and securing the battery everything is fine) [you just need to be more careful]

And everything is fine, I still use it

• Duration of use: No more than a year

Relatively good image quality

2.Noise in low light

3.14 megapixels is too much for it; compared to the sx130, the photo quality is noticeably better

4.Fewer modes compared to the same sx130

5. Became more “slow” in comparison with the same sx130

Not bad for shooting landscapes and other static objects.

Shooting indoors, children, animals is not a good idea... I have both of these cameras in my hands, the SX130 is better in all respects.

• Duration of use: More than a year

• Duration of use: No more than a year

+Convenient controls and ergonomics, the possibility of manual settings, shutter priority and aperture priority. Although with such a crop factor you won’t notice much of a difference in depth of field at the maximum and minimum aperture.

+The ability to install CHDK significantly expands the functionality of the camera.

+Shooting in RAW on it won’t give much benefit, but you can give it a plus for it. In RAW, by the way, the image has noticeable distortion and vignetting.

+The quality of images (sharpness and amount of noise) at ISO100 in good lighting is quite good for this class of devices, not much worse than that of a budget DSLR. But it’s impossible to shoot in poor lighting conditions and/or at high ISOs :)

+ Doesn’t consume much battery, at least it will take 600 pictures on one charge. Batteries SAMSUNG 2700mAh.

+ Stabilizer is a necessary thing in the household.

-Not the best screen. It's big, but the resolution is not enough.

- Constantly buzzing stabilizer. It doesn't really bother me, but it's annoying.

-There is no continuous shooting speed (1fps), and this despite the fact that the camera runs on a DIGIC4 processor. The same processor powers cameras such as the 50D, 60D and 5DmkII, and many other DSLRs.

-It’s dark and soapy at the far end. Which, however, is not surprising.

-Many megapixels. We could have left 10-12.

-The camera has an accelerometer, so they could add an electronic level.

-The built-in flash is little less than useless.

I use it as a second camera in addition to the 7D, which is not always convenient to carry with me due to its large dimensions and weight.

By the way, a useful feature is that if you press and hold FUNC while working or viewing pictures. SET, then a cool watch will appear :) The watch reacts to the rotation of the camera.
