Detailed 16 Megapixel photos and HD movies are easy with the compact, family-friendly PowerShot SX160 IS. Use the versatile 16x optical zoom with Intelligent IS for sharp, detailed long zoom shots.

16x optical zoom, 28mm wide Canon lens
A Canon 16x optical zoom lets you get close to distant subjects; up to 32x with ZoomPlus, a technology that extends the zoom range while maintaining higher quality than a traditional digital zoom. The 28mm wide-angle lens captures impressive landscapes and fits everyone in the frame for great group shots.

16 Megapixels
A 16 Megapixel sensor delivers detailed high-resolution images that can be printed at very large sizes (A3+) or cropped to achieve the desired composition.

Intelligent IS
Intelligent IS automatically selects the appropriate Image Stabilizer mode from 7 – combating camera shake to prevent blur and ensuring sharp, detailed photos and videos at full zoom or handheld in low light.

7.5 cm (3.0") LCD; Hints & Tips
A large, high quality LCD screen with wide viewing angle allows for easy framing, effortless menu navigation and pleasurable reviewing and playback of the results. Easy Hints & Tips help you understand your camera and improve your results.

Smart Auto
Even complete beginners can effortlessly shoot high quality photos or movies with Smart Auto, which detects the scene and selects the optimal settings from 32 variables (21 in movie). Smart Auto is completely automatic - all you have to do is point and shoot.

HD movies with HDMI
Effortlessly record high quality HD movies (720p) with stereo sound and optical zoom, with one touch of the dedicated Movie Record button. Dynamic and Powered Image Stabilizer modes keep movies blur free when shooting on the move or using the telephoto end of the zoom. An HDMI output allows easy, high quality playback on HDTVs.

Fun Creative Filters
