Отзывы о Цифровой Фотоаппарат Canon PowerShot SX160 IS

I'm not even an amateur photographer, but I appreciate a picture that's better than something that I can take from my phone or from a traditional point an shoot. There's a lot of great features which are included in most point and shoot cameras, but it also affords you the ability to make your own pre-programmable settings, or just override everything and operate everything manually. The low-light settings that let you bypass a flash are some of my favorite features. The crisp pictures really let you capture a scene/moment as you're actually experiencing it, as opposed to having a bright flash light highlight anything and everything within the scope of the lenses. It's definitely larger than a traditional point and shoot camera, and is more suitable to a coat pocket than a pant pocket (very bulgy if it fits at all). Although it doesn't have the range of functionality or capabilities of an SLR camera, it's highly functional and is significantly more compact and user friendly to the novice. All around, a great camera.

I bought the Canon SX160 IS to replace my 7-yr old Canon Powershot A540, which still does a decent job. I read a lot of reviews for point-and-shoot cameras and narrowed my choices to Canon SX260, a Sony, or a Nikon. Checked them all out at the local Best Buy and discarded the Nikon and Sony because they were just too small for my hands. Then I reread the specs and reviews for the SX160 vs. SX260 and decided on the SX160, which really is an upgraded version of my A540. I like that it uses AA batteries because I travel to some areas where electricity for recharging unique batteries can be an issue. I also like that I can still use my old printed manual; as the camera functions are essentially the same. I also the fact that the camera lacks a lot of extras.I bought my camera at Best Buy -- I'm leaving tomorrow on a trip -- and they did match Amazon's price.I've taken a few pictures and tried the movie function. Definitely pleased with results. The upgrade was worthwhile. The zoom is great -- got some super pictures of birds at our feeder and closeup pics of my horse from across the paddock.I'm disappointed in the included software -- it seems that there really is not much on the CD, so when you install the software it downloads everything which is annoying.The plastic housing and plastic tripod mount seem a downgrade from the older camera, but the new one is lighter weight and they changed the shape so it's easier to hold. And high-impact plastic can take a lot of punishment.

This is a good basic camera though I feel there are more out there now that have greater pixels and thus better pictures. We have had for a long time now and we are not easy on things. Works great - we now use it as a back up camera and took it recently to a trip to Alaska. Takes great flash pictures.

This camera worked extremely well for three years or so, upon which I then started having some lighting problems while taking indoor shots. Otherwise, I LOVE this camera, and will keep it around for the high quality, amazing outdoor pictures it takes. It's unbeatable for the beautiful high-zoom quality pictures it is capable of taking. I've replaced it with another Canon digital camera, but will keep using it as an excellent backup camera.

my backup camera for when i don't feel like carrying my SLR. performs alright with some ability to customize to get the perfect shot. picture quality is good. build quality very good. i'd buy again simply because i don't know what else is out there that provides the ability and makes it easy to control the camera functions in a compact body.

I am not a new comer to the Canon family so when I wanted a small light weight camera I looked to Canon and found the Powershot SX160. I have a Powershot Pro-1 and I have had great pictures from it but I wanted a camera with a higher resolution and a more or less point and shoot format. The SX 160 will be my 6th Canon camera in the last 10 years and I can't say enough about the construction and ease of use of the cameras. I like the improved stableization feature of the camera as well as the 16X optical zoom. I look forward to many years of satisfactory picture taking with this camera. Over the past 10 years I have bought Canon printers, scanners, and of course Digital cameras and I can't say enough good things about Canon and their products and their professional attitude in supporting their products. Keep up the good work Canon.

For a point and shoot, it's easy to use. The camera is pretty user-friendly. But, it EATS batteries. We have to replace them every time we use it. It's sort of ridiculous. I forgot about the batteries when I bought this camera. We never use it anymore because its not reliably going to make it through an event. Definitely consider a camera that can be charged and recharged with its own power source.

I take this with me everywhere. It is easy to use and the best part is it uses AA batteries. I use rechargeable AA batteries in this camera. That was the primary reason for purchasing this camera over all the others. The other cameras used a specific battery type and shape to power them. This camera uses readily available AA penlight batteries. It has performed well for me. You can adjust the resolution from 8MP to lesss than 1MP. Shutter speed, aperature, exposure values, smoothness are all adjustable. It will also take movies. I am very pleased with the camera and have no regrets.

Camera is great 16Mp/16 Optical zoom combination is great. The use of regular AA batteries is also a great advantage, I could not gave it a 5 star rating due to the slow flash and the fact it didn't came with at least a cheap SDHC card which most of today's cameras come with .... I still recommend it as a great purchase.

This is a very good camera. I would recommend this camera to anyone. I am very pleased with this purchase.

I am no photographer but wanted a camera that was easy !
Well up to date this camera does it all. I started off in the easy mode
and am progressing as I use it
Can't believe the photos I have taken are so good
Well Done Canon and me.

I had this camera before but it did not survive a fall on to a marble floor. It took excellent photos. It uses AA batteries which I find more user friendly than those that have to be recharged on a regular basis. I only wish there was a camera with this that also featured the alternate viewer to the screen which is always hard to see in the sun.

The Canon G15 takes great pictures. However, there were a few minor negatives I've discovered. I was disappointed to find out after its purchase that it neither has a "bulb" mode nor does the package come with a USB transfer cable. The USB transfer cable is necessary to upgrade the firmware (no update available at this time), required to install the software via the provided CD's installation application, and eliminates having to remove the SD card from the camera to transfer your photos. Lastly, the initiation of movie recording is different from other manufacturers' actions. The G15 has a "dedicated movie button", which is not unusual; what is strange is that the movie button is the only way you can begin recording your video. The camera has a movie scene mode on the mode dial; however, when the movie scene mode is selected, pressing the shutter button takes a still photo instead of initiating video recording. The manual makes it seem like this is a feature, but this shutter button behavior seems counterintuitive.

the camera has surpassed our expectations......thank you! Yes, we would reccommend this camera to everyone as a very good all around camera.

This camera is so easy to use. I had the previous model and dropped it and broke it. I ordered this model (the next one up) and love it just as much. I would recommend it to anyone.

I've had this camera for about a year and it is a great camera! It's easy to use and has all of the functions that any amateur photographer would need.

After a couple of years of careful use the lens cover broke and only half protects the lens. This camera was never abused,nor exposed to beach sand, etc. Very disappointing.

I've long been a fan of my trusty Canon G12. Since it hasn't been upgraded in quite some time, I thought it was the end of the line for the series. When the G15 was announced, I immediately wanted one. Having had it for a couple of days now, I'm very happy with it. Out of the box, the biggest difference I noticed was that the G15 no longer has an articulated swivel screen. To a lot of people, this will be a huge disappointment. There is a positive to this though. Without it, the camera is thinner and lighter now. The screen is also larger and higher resolution. (3", 920K). The lens has the same focal length as the G12, but the new G15 lens has a wider aperture. f1.8 vs f2.8. My results show a nice improvement in low light situations. Canon has also improved the auto-focus speed. Megapixels have been increased from 10mp to 12mp. The G15 has a 1/1.7" CMOS sensor, which is larger than most compact style cameras. The DSLR style controls and menus are easy to navigate and understand. On my initial battery charge, I managed just over 300 shots, which I consider good. Now for the most important thing. Image quality. I took several hundred pictures in various conditions. Image quality was excellent under all circumstances. I shot in JPEG mode, using ISO 80-800. Images shot outdoors in good lighting conditions were almost DSLR quality. Images shot indoors were excellent too. Image noise up to ISO 400 was barely noticeable. At ISO 800, noise become more noticeable, but results were still much better than you'd expect from a compact camera. I only shot a minimal amount of video since I have little interest in using it, but what I did shoot does look good. The G15 can do 1080P at 24fps. All in all, the Canon G15 is just a great camera.Pros:Excellent image quality.Fast 5x 28-140mm lens.RAW image capture.DSLR style manual controls.Good battery life.Fairly thin and lightweight.3", 920K screen.Optical viewfinder.Cons:No articulated screen.Ergonomics might be awkward to some.

My daughter is a photographer and she wanted something small that she could take with her on vacation when she didn't want to haul all her equirement - fun camera - takes great pictures

This is Canon's current top of the line compact digital camera for non-professionals. Great product with all the features you will need without the bulk of DSLR rigs. Solidly built body metal construction that has some heft to it.I'm gearing up for a trip to Europe next spring and this is the still camera I chose to substitute for a Canon A1000. I also have a Canon Vixia M41 video camera. I am considering taking only the G-15 to Europe because the video quality is almost as good as the HD M41. In the end, I'll probably take both.I use an optical viewfinder most of the time. My only complaint is when the lens is fully extended about 10% of the lower left corner of the viewfinder is blocked. Since I seldom use the fully extended lens it's not a big deal.Battery life is very good.I guess the G-15 is what you would call a crossover. It's not a full featured professional rig but it's a lot, lot more camera than your typical point and shoot.

This is the perfect camera for anyone that has only used the point and shoot models with low zoom. Instead of jumping into a fancy $500 model, try this one first. It has lots of shooting options, most of which I don't use but they are easy to change from one to another. Camera is easy to operate and you can hold it steady enough at full 16x zoom to take a clear pic with a little practice.Cons: Moving subjects are hard to photograph without blurriness.I've not been able to take good photos in low light when outside.The zoom uses a lot of power and will drain your batteries quickly. Camera should have been designed to use 4 AA batteries.Over all, I am VERY happy with this camera and highly recommend it!

Extremely easy to use, multiple settings for those of us who aren't professionals. I would recommend it to anyone looking for a camera.

Have used the Canon S120 for 4 weeks. Have taken very clear, high quality indoor and outdoor shots using the Auto setting. Very compact and transportable. Fits in trouser and shirt pockets. Battery life was acceptable when used for stills only. Appeared to run down when used for slow motion video. Quick start up and fast shot to shot turnaround. Vast improvement over s95.

Great camera for the money. Photos are sharp, zoom works wonderfully, close up excellent. So far so great! Works well for the photographer that requires a bit more than just " point and shoot".
