Große Besonderheiten hat die Canon PowerShot SX160 IS nicht im Angebot, dennoch liefert sie für den geforderten Preis eine durchaus ordentliche Ausstattung. Die Bildqualität ist hingegen nicht besonders stark und auch bei der Geschwindigkeit überzeugt die Kamera kaum.

Die Canon überzeugt mit guten Bildergebnissen und punktet ebenfalls mit einer guten wenn auch nicht kompletten Ausstattung. Der Bildstabilisator arbeitet sehr effektiv und auch der Blitz leuchtet die Umgebung gut aus. Weniger überzeugend sind allerdings der Monitor sowie die Qualität der Videos.
