Description

I've recently bought Canon Powershot SX160 IS so I can take photos even when I don't have space in my backpack for the bulky DSLR (I really need to get like 100 l backpack so I can mountain hike with my full photo gear =D) and I have to say, even though it does produce quite a lot of noise compared to my trusty 30D (which is understandable, since its chip is MUCH smaller), it's a great value for the money! Especially the 16x optical zoom along with great stabilizer makes it a very versatile pocket camera (the body is surprisingly small for the focal length the lens provides). Plus it's capable of recording HD footage (the quality of the video is reasonable considering how cheap SX160 is).

Sorry for the "commercial", I'm just really glad I got this camera... :)

This one was taken yesterday, from a train window, while going back from a trip to Jeseníky mountains. Great time :sun: Pretty much straight from the camera (minor contrast adjustment + crop done).

Now, considering the small sensor size, this is an AWESOME photo. I plan on buying the SX170 model soon (SX160 is not available here anymore), since I don't have money for a DSLR - and it's really like what the say - it's 33% camera, 33% photographer, 33% postprocessing, and 1% luck that makes for a quality photo. I also like the ability to use Tv/Av/M modes and manual focus on such an inexpensive camera.
