Canon PowerShot SX150 IS

$249/£199

The 14.1 megapixel Canon SX150 IS is a superzoom camera with a wide-ranging 12x image-stabilized optical zoom, providing an equivalent focal length range of 28-336mm. Like other advanced Canon compacts, the SX150 is outfitted with a well-rounded feature set that includes manual and semi-manual exposure modes as well as easy-to-use automatic options. Special creative and color effects, including fisheye, toy camera, selective color, black and white or sepia, are among some of the extras offered by this rather chunky little camera.

Unlike many of its more recent rivals, the SX150 IS is based around a CCD, rather than CMOS sensor. This means it's missing high-speed features that such a sensor would allow, so video is limited to 1280 x 720 pixels (rather than 1920 x 1080 resolution), and continuous shooting is just 0.9 frames per second (0.6 fps if you want autofocus and live view).
