Canon PowerShot SX160 First Impressions Review
The newly released PowerShot SX160 IS replaces the older SX150 as one of Canon's affordable range of enthusiast point-and-shoots. New to the SX160 is an upgraded 16-megapixel CCD sesor (compared with the 14-megapixel unit in the SX150) and a longer 16x zoom lens.
Pros:
- Intuitive control and menu design
- A good camera to learn with
- at a fair price
Cons:
- Limited control over manual exposure
- Autofocus could be quicker

Canon PowerShot SX160 IS
It's easy to dismiss the Canon PowerShot SX160 IS without closer inspection but doing so is definitely worth it. The large lens on the front and raised central area of the top plate give it a bridge camera look. The lens is a 16x optical zoom with image stabiliser built in.

The Canon PowerShot SX160 ISis a fantastic combination of a retro look and advanced features. The camera features full manual controls along with a 16X optical zoom lens and a 16MP sensor. It also sports a 28mm wide angle lens and Optical image stabilizer that offers clear, vivid and rich results.

Canon PowerShot SX160 IS
The SX160 zooms longer than other ultra-cheap cameras (from 28 mm all the way to 448 mm) and, amazingly, packs full manual controls. While other super-cheap cameras only let you point and shoot, the SX160 lets you control everything -- shutter, aperture, focus, you name it.
Pros:
- Impressive photo and video quality for the price
- Full manual controls -- a rarity at this price
- Strong 16x zoom
Cons:
- Gobbles AA batteries
- Too slow for fast-action photography
- Can't handle very dim light

Finally
After working with Canon, finally received the right sim card so camera would work. They are very helpful without any major problems.

Canon SX160 Ultra Zoom Camera Red
If you can get over the AA batteries, this is an awesome camera for the price and is capable of amazing shots in well-lit environments. It has the same sort of interface as a bridge camera or even a DSLR and the zoom and lens are both great.

Don't buy this camera.
This was my fifth Canon camera since 2003. This camera is an EPIC DISAPPOINTMENT. 95% of pictures (and videos) we took are blurry. bad. real bad. very slow to recharge flash, and takes forever to get in focus. If camera holder moves (or subject moves) then picture will come out blurry.
Pros:
- Easy To Use
Cons:
- Lag / Shutter Delay
- Poor Image Quality
- Poor Image Stabilization
- Short Battery Life

not worth the headache
not worth the trouble! it can be found anywhere for cheap(including memory card, camera pouch, etc), because I believe stores are trying to sell them off. Its too slow, the flash is way to strong, and white-outs everything. the video doesn't work,its just a mess. and the best part?
Cons:
- Lag / Shutter Delay
- Limited Zoom
- Poor Flash
- Poor Image Quality

KEEP OUT - a FILM camera would be a better choice :)
The camera will take decent pictures if you wait for it to: 1. Raise flash 2. Subject stops moving 3. Get in focus Since in reality that 97% of photos are not taken this way, this camera has fundamental issues.
Pros:
- The camera will take decent pictures if you wait for it to: 1
- Raise flash 2
- Subject stops moving 3
- Get in focus Since in reality that 97% of photos are not taken this way, this camera has fundamental issues.
Cons:
- This camera takes bad photos and non-HD-like videos
- Blurry photos are the norm, and blurry ones are the default
