Canon's AA-powered budget superzoom — 2012 with 16MP CCD, stabilised 16x zoom and 720p video

The PowerShot SX160 IS of September 2012 replaced the SX150 IS in Canon's economy superzoom line — the chunky SX1xx series that kept AA power while offering long zoom reach at a budget price. It was among the last of the series, with only the lithium-ion SX170 IS following.

It combines a 16-megapixel 1/2.3-inch CCD with a stabilised 28-448mm-equivalent 16x optical zoom at f/3.5-5.9, processed by DIGIC 4. The 3.0-inch 230,000-dot LCD is fixed, video records at 720p HD, cards are SD, SDHC or SDXC, and the camera runs on two AA batteries.

The mix of long stabilised zoom, manual exposure modes and AA power suits travellers and casual wildlife or holiday shooters who want reach without a proprietary charger. It is bulkier than pocket superzooms and AA alkalines drain fast, but NiMH cells solve that cheaply.

Used checks: run the zoom through its full 16x travel listening for grinding, confirm the stabiliser works at the long end, and inspect the battery bay for alkaline corrosion — the most common fault on AA-powered PowerShots. SD-family cards and AA cells remain universally available, so ongoing running costs are minimal.
