hi I'm Josh Goldman senior editor CNET and if you're one of the many that actually value having double-a batteries power your camera you should check out canon powershot sx1 6d is it's a budget-friendly compact mega zoom that does more than just point and shoot up front is a 16 X zoom lens with optical image stabilization in back is a decent 3-inch LCD in some large well spaced and labeled controls it's 16 megapixel sensor is good enough for capturing nice shots for sharing online or small prints but you want to make sure you have plenty of light to take advantage of that zoom handheld considering its price and shooting options though it's better than expected those options include semi manual and manual shooting modes giving you more control over results than you typically find below $200 you get several of canons creative filters and it's live view control for easily adjusting brightness color and tone and 720p HD movie capture at the press of a button and while I wouldn't recommend it for regularly shooting fast-moving subjects it's not painfully slow either which hasn't been uncommon with this class of camera so again if you want the convenience of double A batteries this is one of the better options available I'm Josh Goldman and that's a quick look at the canon powershot sx1 16 yes
