Canon PowerShot SX160 IS

With about $ 150, you can not do better than the Canon PowerShot SX160 IS. at this price, do not look at the camera - but Canon offers the best deal around: an impressive 16x zoom lens, decent photos and videos, and even full manual control.

in terms of use A bit bulky (thanks to the big zoom),  but simple to up from a little pocket cam without much zoom to speak of, you might find the Canon SX160 bulky. It's 10 ounces and nearly 2 inches thick, so you won't be slipping it into your shirt pocket. But remember, there's a 16x zoom lens crammed in there. Considering that, the Canon is downright svelte. Still, you may want a neck strap (it's not included), or at least a really roomy jacket pocket.

 Features
16x zoom and full manual controls at a rock-bottom price. Here's where you really get your money's worth, reviews say. The SX160 zooms longer than other ultra-cheap cameras (from 28 mm all the way to 448 mm) and, amazingly, packs full manual controls.

While other super-cheap cameras only let you point and shoot, the SX160 lets you control everything -- shutter, aperture, focus, you name it. Preset scene modes (like Fireworks and Snow) are present and accounted for, but there's no in-camera panorama feature.

 Performance
Good for the price, but watch the batteries. The Canon SX160's photos and videos have their flaws -- but for such a cheap camera, they're impressive. Brightly lit scenes are its forte. Grainy image noise starts to rear its head in indoor light. Any dimmer, and the camera slows down the shutter speed, leading to blurry photos. There's a pop-up flash, but it takes a long time to recharge between photos (7 seconds, in CNET's test).

Still, people who buy the SX160 usually wind up very happy with their vacation photos and the like, and the video -- although just 720p, not full 1080p HD -- is fine for web sharing. One caveat: It devours AA batteries. It's rated for 140 shots on a set of two regular alkalines (double that with rechargeable NiMH batteries), but that's without any zooming or video recording. Bring spares.

 Durability
Plastic body feels flimsy. The Canon SX160's plastic build is hardly confidence-inspiring. Although we rarely saw any complaints that it actually broke or malfunctioned, reviews say it just feels flimsy. "Given the Canon PowerShot SX160 IS's low cost, the corners have to be cut somewhere and we think it's in the build quality," says Matt Grayson at PhotographyBlog.com. "The camera doesn't feel as solid as it could although there are some nuggets in there such as the lockable battery door and better port cover. The buttons feel firm and the dials aren't too slack or flimsy."

One Amazon.com reviewer points out the plastic tripod mount ("Ugh! Why couldn't they use metal?"), but says the camera should hold up "if you are careful with your cameras."

Samsung UN50H6350 50-Inch 1080p 120Hz Smart LED TV

Picture Quality The bright edge LED lighting makes for a brilliant picture and helps to balance out the downsides of the matte screen by providing more rich colors and a good deal of contrast. All of that said, from relatively close to front and center we felt the picture displayed was very good with lots of light flow-through to help with depth perception. The picture is remarkably similar to the F6300 from last year. A full 10-point white balance adjustment option that makes getting colors accurate easy with the right settings. The 40H6350 is loaded with tons of extra picture adjustment options, most of which aren't terribly useful and are better off left unused.
