I bought this package deal through Amazon recently. I wanted a Canon camera because of the great service and reputation of Canon. I haven't used the camera much as yet. I was primarily updating the technology, Previously I had a Powershot A85 which served me well (and was brought back to like new condition by a warranty repair) since 2004.
The Camera:
I love the new camera so far, the large LCD screen is a blessing for my old eyes. The anti shake capability helps my primary biggest weakness when handling a camera. I also find the physical size of this camera works for me better than the super tiny cameras presently on the market. The logical design of the buttons and knobs makes the camera easy to use.The SX150 has significantly better low light functionality and the pictures reflect this. My only complaint is the SX150 like my A85 is hard on battery life, but unlike my A85 the SX150 has only two AA batteries to draw upon instead of four. Additionally the battery/charger combo was defective initially from the supplier ZeeMO.
The package accessories:
As I said above,I bought the package to replace older technology.I immediately had to clean the outside lens as it had a smudge on it,(messing up the focusing optics). The batteries (Zeikos) even though they say they are 3100 mAh are weak compared to other Ni-MA batteries I have purchased which have lower current ratings from national manufactures such as Energiser. The charger is a international adaptable charger, which may come in handy when we go
to Italy. The camera bag and memory card are sufficient.
Although it took two attempts to get ZeeMO's attention on the defective battery/charger combo, I think the package deal was worth the effort to purchase for me, with a camera I highly recommend!
