I shoot primarily with Canon DSLRs and was looking for a compact camera to supplement my current photography equipment. The Canon PowerShot XS150 IS is a very nice compliment to my gear and overall, I am pleased with it. Canon has produced a very good alternative for the compact camera market in its PowerShot XS150 IS platform. The camera boasts a 14MP picture size with 12x optical zoom capability and the camera delivers. The XS150 IS is a little larger and heavier than most compact cameras but is of quality construction and durable. The case is molded plastic and has a very ergonomic design with specific places to rest your fingers and thumb for one-hand operation. All the controls can be operated with the right hand while holding the...

If you don't want it then leave it down. If you do want it then just lift the flash with your finger. Quality is good (but not great). Speed - camera is fast between pictures, fast to start up, etc. I like snappy "real time" menus and zooming etc. Focus - very very clear. I used macro mode to take pictures of business cards and I can zoom in and see the hairs of the paper. Very impressive, very important to me. Took a picture of a letter on the wall 5 feet away with zoom. I could review and zoom in and and read very fine print ~ 5pt type font! Low light - very good even without the flash. Screen: large, good quality - it is NOT a touch screen but I think it is much more durable than a touch and you don't need the touch as the controls are easy to use. Manual options: good manual options. Video: very good quality, you CAN zoom while filming. File size was too big for my...

The camera falls way short of Canon published CIPA Protocol specifications for battery longevity. Battery life is terrible even using high reserve capacity NiMH 2600 mAh rechargeable batteries. Trust me, over time you'll end up spending more money for batteries than you paid for the camera. It is designed to run short term on Alkaline, extended on NiMH batteries. You shouldn't need to pay for Lithium or any other type for it perform to specification. If you power the camera on and off frequently to take pictures that is not the way to discern battery consumption. Power the camera on continuously for an extended duration and use all of the features the camera has to offer including "Videography." The batteries will discharge soon thereafter. I spoke with Canon representatives who acknowledged that they've had many complaints concerning battery consumption. If you read reviews at... Read more |
