Canon SX150 IS
By Brian Jones
A sturdy, durable compact, this Canon digital camera features a 3-inch LCD screen that lets you preview your images even in low light. We liked that the flash doesn’t go off when you don’t want it; you have to manually lift the flash up with your finger. Its 14.1 MP and 12x optical zoom produces sharp, clear pictures whether you’re close up or far away from your subject. The dedicated movie button is another convenient feature, eliminating the hassle of searching through menus for the option to start shooting. For $167.95, this is a superb all-purpose digital camera with great speed and intuitive controls.
