{"product_id":"canon-ixus-160-powershot-elph-160-ixy-150","title":"Canon IXUS 160 | PowerShot ELPH 160 | IXY 150","description":"\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003eCanon released the IXUS 160 in early 2015 as the entry point into the IXUS lineup — 20-megapixel CCD, 28mm 8× zoom, and classic IXUS proportions in a plastic body. No optical stabilization, no Wi-Fi, no metal shell. What it has is a 20MP CCD producing warm, characterful output at base ISO, a 28mm wide-angle that fits a whole group in frame, and a flash reaching 3.5 metres. Red is the most visually committed of the four color options.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 class=\"text-text-100 mt-3 -mb-1 text-[1.125rem] font-bold\"\u003eTHE LOOKS\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003eIn red, the IXUS 160 has a glossy plastic finish that catches light across the curved edges — the glossy surface picks up scratches more visibly than the other color options, worth knowing. The body is 95.2 × 54.3 × 22.1mm, 127g, with the 2.7-inch LCD on the rear and a clean front face. No grip, no texture — slippery to hold, which is the trade-off for how it looks. Also available in silver, black, and white.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 class=\"text-text-100 mt-3 -mb-1 text-[1.125rem] font-bold\"\u003eTHE SPECS\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003eThe 20-megapixel CCD is the headline — an unusually high-resolution CCD sensor at a time when most cameras at this price had switched to CMOS. The 8× zoom covers 28–224mm equivalent, useful from wide group shots to moderate telephoto. No optical IS, so it works best in good light — digital stabilization is the fallback. DIGIC 4+ processor, Smart Auto reading 32 scenes. 720p\/30fps video. Flash to 3.5m. Eco Mode. SD\/SDHC\/SDXC, 95.2 × 54.3 × 22.1mm, 127g.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 class=\"text-text-100 mt-3 -mb-1 text-[1.125rem] font-bold\"\u003eDESIGN HIGHLIGHTS\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"[li_\u0026amp;]:mb-0 [li_\u0026amp;]:mt-1 [li_\u0026amp;]:gap-1 [\u0026amp;:not(:last-child)_ul]:pb-1 [\u0026amp;:not(:last-child)_ol]:pb-1 list-disc flex flex-col gap-1 pl-8 mb-3\"\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e20-megapixel CCD in 2015:\u003c\/strong\u003e unusually late for CCD technology at this price — the sensor type producing the warm, characterful output that defines the digicam aesthetic.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e28mm wide-angle 8× zoom without optical IS:\u003c\/strong\u003e wide enough for groups and interiors, 224mm at the long end — works best in good light where the lack of stabilization doesn't show.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlash reaching 3.5 metres at wide angle:\u003c\/strong\u003e enough to light a group shot across a room without everyone looking washed out — a practical spec that matters more than it reads on paper.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2 class=\"text-text-100 mt-3 -mb-1 text-[1.125rem] font-bold\"\u003eTHE VERDICT\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003eThe IXUS 160 kept the CCD sensor when most of the market had moved on — a 20-megapixel CCD in 2015 at this price was an unusual choice, and the output shows it. Warm, slightly soft, exactly the early-2010s digicam character people are chasing now. The plastic body and lack of optical IS are the honest compromises. Red commits to being noticed — the glossy finish works better as a color statement than a fingerprint-resistant surface.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Canon","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57232381608311,"sku":null,"price":219.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0931\/2003\/7239\/files\/IMG_0206_result.jpg?v=1782639165","url":"https:\/\/bling-inc.com\/products\/canon-ixus-160-powershot-elph-160-ixy-150","provider":"Bling Inc.","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
