Canon PowerShot SX150 IS Preview
Debuting with two other new PowerShot series digicams today, the Canon PowerShot SX150 IS is an entry level camera with a host of nice features. They include a 14.1 megapixel CCD sensor and a 12x optical zoom with a 28mm wide angle lens (in 35mm terms). All of the new PowerShots comestandard with Canon's proprietary DIGIC 4 Image Processor as well as Smart AUTO for novice shutterbugs. Smart AUTO "analyzes faces, brightness, colors, distance and movement and selects the appropriate setting based on 32 predefined shooting scenes (for stills) and 21 scenes (for video)."
In addition to making it easier for newbies, the SX150 IS also features Intelligent IS (Image Stabilization) for six different shooting conditions (Normal, Macros, Powered, Panning Dynamic, and Tripod). This camera also has manual-shooting capabilities (such as aperture priority and shutter priority) and a "discrete shooting mode" to help eliminate disturbances while taking stills. Home movie lovers will also enjoy shooting video in 720p HD, with the ability to optically zoom while filming. Menu access and photo reviewing are a snap thanks to the large, bright 3.0 inch LCD screen.
