Отзывы о Цифровой Фотоаппарат Canon PowerShot SX160 IS

I purchased this camera because it's just like the SX170 yet less expensive and uses AA batteries. People are complaining about battery life. I purchased some rechargeable lithium Ion batteries and a charger on Amazon and I never have a problem with battery life. I recorded the entire high school play that went for two hours on HD video with one set of batteries. I also used a "10" sandisk SD card for fast response. Camera tracked, stayed in focus and worked very well in relatively low light. Takes great still pics with the zoom and a monopod, too.I would highly recommend this camera as a good point and shoot and manual for the price. Just make sure you use high MAH rechargeable batteries and a fast response SD card. I researched long and hard and this one is the best in it's price range. You want better, spend more.Get Enaloop 2000MaH AA batts with charger and a Transcend, Class 10 SDHC card and you'll be able to take 2 hours of video and take beautiful pictures all day. I'm going to buy another one just as a backup, it is so good.

Like other reviews I read before buying the zoom does not zoom like a small camera zoom. With a small camera zoom you use the zoom to focus, like the Canon Powershot A590 where you have to zoom in really close and it will focus in. With this Canon Powershot SX10is when zooming into writing it does not take much zoom or any zoom at all it focuses right away with out zooming. This camera is made to zoom into objects at a distance like a neighbor doing something they should not be doing or a dog walker who does not pick up after themselves.

Needed to replace a broken Canon A590IS - a great camera which Canon decided to no longer make (not a good decision, Canon). Works very well - good purchase.

ghosting and refection issues. Fotga makes a better brand-it works really well and no problem, it just works!

To protect my lens I always use a lens hood in addition to a lens cap. It was almost impossible to seat the original Canon lens cap on my Canon Powershot SX10 with the lens hood attached. This aftermarket cap from Camera Hunter is easy to attach and is much more secure....stays on even with rough handling.

Great point and shot! I've gotten some great photographs. The size is perfect for back-pack hiking. My husband bough a smaller camera that just ran out of batteries fast. I have been able to take a week's worth of pictures (over 1,000 pics) without changing the batteries.

I bought this charger as a replacement for an identical one which was mislaid and was happy with it originally, which is why I bought another one. Very reasonable price and does the job well.

Smooth transition, solid construction. Use it on my Sony nex 3n. Works with all my minolta vintage lenses (45mm md f2, 35mm mc f2.8, 135mm mc f3.5)

A must have, as battery cannot be charged without, arrived on time at a very reasonable price, would recommend this seller

Originally I bought this as a replacement for a faulty SX200is (one of the first hi-zoom cameras around). I wasn't expecting much from it, with a 14Mp sensor, I was expecting more noise in the pictures at lower ISO levels than before. A function of squeezing more pixels onto the same size piece of silicon. However I have been pleasantly surprised with the photo quality, and some of the included features. I won't go into huge detail, except to say that in everday use it is superb, and very easy to use at a moments notice for those instant photos you might otherwise miss.

Some pros:- superb 'tracking' feature allowing you to track a subject in focus even when they move about the photo frame; light and quick to start up; large 3" display on the rear; a flash with quite a good range and that doesn't pop up constantly (you have to open it up when wanted); 720p movie recording via a dedicated button on the camera back; the addition of several fun modes including a 'miniature effect' function; a quick acting 12x zoom, and if you reduce the pixel count (e.g. down to 7Mp) that zooms further without loss of quality; standard AA battery usage, not dedicated Lithium-ion, means replacements are easy to find if you're caught out, though this is balanced out by poor battery life on alkalines they are still good for emergency usage.

Some cons:- poor battery life with standard alkaline batteries means you really have to use hi-capacity NiMh rechargables to get a good life span from the camera between changes (I reccommend a minimum 2100mAhr at least); no view finder means you have to rely on the large rear panel (but on the up side it's easy to view in most conditions so far), the loss of the 'panorama stitch assist' function is a big downer for me as I used that one an awful lot.

P.S. Search on eBay for this camera, and if you don't mind a refurbished item direct from Canon (with a full 12mth warranty) you'll pay less than £50 for this excellent little camera. I did.

Love this camera as it has manual features to practice for dslr cameras and brilliant quality pictures. The camera arrived promptly and in excellent condition.

Generic battery cheaper than name brand and works just as good as the one that came with my camera.

It's been great for taking under water picture. Not that it's possible to make it smaller (given the tight fit) but I found it a little bulky. First time I ever had my bag checked at the airport was when this was in my carry-on.

I debated saving for an entry level DSLR camera or going for a camera like this. I'm someone who has considered getting into photography as a hobby & wanted the right camera that's a step up from a point & shoot. What sold me on this camera over a DSLR is portability. A camera is useless if it stays in the closet. For its size it's very light weight. It would be far more practical for travel pics than a bigger camera.I was a bridesmaid recently & was able to slip this camera into my pocket (apparently bridesmaids dresses are sometimes made with pockets now!) for the wedding reception. I can't imagine lugging around a DSLR there without looking ridiculous. I was able to get some really great photos before the wedding when all the bridesmaids & bride were getting ready & at the reception. Most of the pictures were on auto mode as I wanted to not miss any moments & also to take pics quickly to get out of the way of the paid wedding photographers. Even in auto mode the pictures looked great.If you do not need a camera to take a lot of posed or still pictures, I would definitely recommend this camera over a DSLR for portability, & the picture quality is great.

I bought the older brother: Canon SX170 IS last week. However, I found this one, the Canon SX160 IS, at a local retailer, on closeout. Price I won't disclose but I could not walk away from it.The only minor differences between the 160 and the 170 is that the 160 uses 2 AA batteries and the 170 uses a rechargeable battery. Also, the flash on the 170 is a manual lift while the 160 has a push button release.The 160 is a little slimmer but not by much. The selector turn knob is a little different on the 160 vs. the 170.Either model, well worth the cost. In fact, I would say that they are not charging enough for the 160 or the 170 because the quality, ease of use, and the quality of the pictures are just great.I plan to have mine modified to full spectrum for ghost hunting. Hope this does not change the review. Just realize that the factory warranty is voided but I am okay with that.

It's a little outdated, but for the design and price, it's a decent starter/general use camera if you refuse to own a smartphone like me. Can't find anything in this price range with a forward-flipping display screen over 8mp.

Battery life was terrible. It was nice you could use AA's, but they just didn't last long at all. Great Canon optics, took great pics, simple to use.

What a shame Canon does not produce this clearly toprate camera
as it was produced years ago. ILt does still have an eye piece,
and should be on the preferred used camera shops. hhs

The zoom on this camera is pretty good. I'm what you might call an advanced amateur... I T.A.ed a couple photography courses back in college, but I'm no pro. I wanted a little knockaround P&S to keep in my bag when I wasn't carrying my DSLR. Turns out that's not what I wanted at all... at least not this one. It's a bit too noisy for me. If you work only in the bright outdoors, you'll probably like this camera just fine. I imagine it would be great at family snapshots at a theme park, but it's really kind of awful in low-light conditions. If you're spoiled by APS-C-sized sensors like myself, it's just too hard to go back to a dinky little fingernail-sized sensor.I ended up giving this one to my Mom (her old 8mp Canon sub-compact P&S was acting up) and getting myself an EOS-M. A mirrorless, interchangeable lens camera is nowhere near as portable as this guy, but at least I still smile when I see the images.

I love the photo quality when I can get it perfect without my query (moving objects) blurring. Any photographer will tell you that that's a problem when you only get one moment to shoot something. If that's your deal then this camera isn't for you. But my still photo's come out perfect. The image quality is great. The video resolution is even greater. The zoom is superb. If there is something I can't see with the naked eye, sure enough the zoom on this camera will catch it; however, you need a really steady hand or tripod for anything above 16x. All in all, this is a great camera packed with a lot of power, and 16 mp that isn't overexaggerated. Wow! This isn't a DSLR, but I like it anyways.

I love this camera. Only sometimes its focusing takes too long. The colours came out more natural so if you like vibrant colours you need to adjust it in one of the many programmes.

Love this camera. Already have one but my friend also wanted one. So east to use-no teeny weeny buttons that can be so irritating!

You might as well use an old sock, to be honest. This comes with a lanyard and carabiner that you're supposed to use to attach the camera to a loop inside the sock, but the carabiner is metal so would scratch the camera to bits if you put it inside the sock. I threw my lanyard away. So, without the lanyard, there is nothing to attach the camera to the sock, and the sock has no other fastening to stop the camera from falling out. Thus, there is no security, so it's only useful for protecting the camera when it's on the shelf but not when travelling.

I can't believe that I'm back again reviewing a Canon powershot - but I am. I saw this one come out, with no intention of buying it, but there was a good price on Amazon, cashback from Canon, and a relative needing a camera, so I couldn't resist passing the old one on and buying the SX150is. It's available in silver and red as options, but I stuck to black.

First of all this is a superzoom camera, which means it has a big range of focal lengths. This gives a body which is slightly bigger than most pocket-sized cameras, but the benefit is the ability to zoom in - and boy can you zoom in! It has a 12x optical zoom and to indicate what that means; I was standing so my shed was filling about a quarter of the screen, and then zoomed in fully and the fairly small shed window filled the screen on the optical zoom, without resorting to the digital zoom. It is the equivalent of 28 mm to 336 mm, for a 35mm camera, which is as much as you are ever likely to want.

Power is provided by AA batteries, which doesn't suit everyone, but it really works for me. We have dozens of high capacity rechargeables, and they are long-lasting, with charged spares always to hand. The original alkalines didn't do very well though, so try to use rechargeables. If you are going to carry them charged for a long time it's also worth getting the long-lasting ones.

The sensor has been upgraded to 14.1 megapixels, from 12 before, which helps in low light, and is all anyone is ever likely to need for everyday family use.
Settings are simple to use, with lots of manual options. I tend to ignore the easy mode and go straight to auto option, which has 31 settings for the camera to choose from. Then you can move to SCN mode, which I generally use for scenery and people. Then there are the programme modes, and finally manual settings.

There are various filter modes, including a miniature scene mode, toy camera mode and colour swap. I rarely use them, but they're useful for a bit of fun. Speaking of fun smart shutter, smile detection takes a photo when it detects someone smiling. It may seem a little gimmicky, but it does actually work, and has improved photos of people - maybe because they know they're stuck there until they smile!

Photo quality is very good, probably an advance on the last one. Because of the large sensor you can blow the photos up quite large, and retain the detail. Canon reckons you can print to A2. I rarely print photos, but like to use the highest quality setting nevertheless. A 4gb memory card holds around 1000 photos at the highest resolution. Even zoomed in the detail is good, with the image stabilisation working to reduce shake. Colours are good, very realistic, although I have sometimes detected a slight yellowish cast indoors.

I have tried the video, and am quite happy with it, but it isn't why I bought the camera, and I'm unlikely to use it very often.

It's worth giving the software a quick shout as well. I like zoombrowser to upload new photos to my computer with very little fuss. Plug in the camera, switch it on and off you go.

So all-in-all this quality of camera, with this range of zoom, with an overwhelming range of manual settings, but very good photos out-of-the box in auto mode, has to be worth 5 stars.

Edit 27-12-11 I've added two photos of Leith Hall to the product description. They are intended to show the range of the zoom, rather than being held up as good photos. They were both taken from the same place, one at the wide-angle setting, and the other fully zoomed in, using the optical zoom only. As you can see it really does have a huge range.
