Отзывы о Цифровой Фотоаппарат Canon PowerShot SX160 IS

***Updated - I am on my second amazon return. The second camera had much better sound quality until i took it in the water. Now i am having the exact same issue where the sound is almost non-existant on all videos. I really wanted to like this camera as the images and features were really cool. Not sure if i just got unlucky or what, but if you get this make sure to test yours out!!!!***I am currently returning my camera for replacement by Amazon, so i will update this if the new unit fixes my issues.Deal Breaker - Sound quality, in particular volume is absolutly terrible. I have to yell into it for it to pick up anything, and it can't consistantly pick up my kids talking even from a couple feet away. Sometimes it works though, which is really frustrating. It could be just a defective unit so If a new one fixes my issues I will update this.Pros:- Image quality is very good- Low light performance, even under water is very good (not quite as good as the non rugged point and shoots, but still very good)- I have tested it down to ~20ft underwater and it held tight. Got some great fish pictures!- Video options are good. I like the 120fps mode in particular - got some unique cool shots.- Lens (wide angle to zoom) is pretty nice.Cons:- A little bulky- Strap attachement is in a bad spot. You have to remove the strap to be able to set the camera flat on a table, and a little werid while holding- Flash seems a little underpowered, but not too much of an issue yet.- Battery life isn't great, especially while using GPS- ** Sound issues on video recording. Note that there is no sound on high speed video modes either.- Menu is a little tricky to find all options, but i am getting pretty good at it after 3 weeks.

The hand grip was the most disappointing. I felt the grip was not big enough to keep the camera from falling out of my hands. I ride on the back of a motorcycle with my husband driving and I'm busy taking pictures. My older Canon Powershot has a larger grip, so the wind isn't able to whip the camera out of my hand, and I can keep the camera steady despite the airflow frm any direction. I also take many photos holding the camera under, over and in things that my head won't fit into. The new buttons on the G15 get in the way, and change the settings. When reviewing my photos, and try to turn the cam for friends to see, my thumb hits something that takes the photo off the screen. Its very annoying to go back, find the photo and try to turn the screen to share the photo with friends. Finally, the photos are beautiful as I would expect, but would rather add a Wide Angle lens, than to have every photo taken with Wide Angle. I would rather have the normal lens and switch out when needed.

We purchased this camera for a trip to Hawaii for taking pictures while snorkeling. We were a little concerned because we had purchased a Kodak waterproof camera last fall when we last went to Hawaii that flooded after the first time using it in the water. We didn't know if it was because the Kodak camera was cheap/poorly made or if waterproof cameras always ended up leaking, as all the waterproof cameras seems to have a bunch of "it leaked" reviews. We had read good reviews about this camera's previous version, the D10, so we decided to take the gamble with this one.This camera worked great, no leaks at all. We used it in the water almost everyday of our 10 day trip, for hours at a time. We got some really great shots, including out of the water. It also has an underwater macro that we think works really well. Taking pictures underwater takes some practice to get good looking shots, but we got some really great close ups of turtles, fish and eels. We also like the wrist strap attachement on the camera, which some people have complained about. We like it because you can remove the wrist strap from the camera fairly easily when putting it in a case, which was convenient for us, because we use a floating wrist strap that is kind of bulky.The one thing I would stress is to make sure you rinse off the camera after each use in the ocean. We would just fill a ziplock bag with fresh water, drop the camera in for a couple of minutes (make sure to press the buttons too when they are submerged in the water) and then dry it off completely. We have read that this is the key to keeping the waterproof gaskets on the camera from getting salt and sand build up that can cause leaks (says this in the manual too, but not sure how many people actually read the manual).We couldn't recommend this camera more, we know it is not the cheapest, but it works great.

We also like the wrist strap attachement on the camera, which some people have complained about. We like it because you can remove the wrist strap from the camera fairly easily when putting it in a case, which was convenient for us, because we use a floating wrist strap that is kind of bulky.The one thing I would stress is to make sure you rinse off the camera after each use in the ocean. We would just fill a ziplock bag with fresh water, drop the camera in for a couple of minutes (make sure to press the buttons too when they are submerged in the water) and then dry it off completely. We have read that this is the key to keeping the waterproof gaskets on the camera from getting salt and sand build up that can cause leaks (says this in the manual too, but not sure how many people actually read the manual).We couldn't recommend this camera more, we know it is not the cheapest, but it works great.

I would have initially given this camera 5 stars. Ask me now, and I'm going to give it 1. I bought this camera (I'm a Canon fan!) and loved it for the first 2 years or so. Then it started eating batteries like it was going to the electric chair! Now, the batteries are dead within 48 hours of installation, with minimal pictures taken and no flash used. As I've read similar reviews about this camera, I can't help but wonder if it is Planned Obsolescence at work here--kill the cameras so people have to replace them. It simply makes no other sense that these cameras go downhill so quickly.

I bought this camera for my son for Christmas. He needed something besides his GoPro or the Big ole Canon 30D and 60D. Don't get me wrong, the GoPRo is awesome. Got one. But if you're runnin' and gunnin' or need to zoom in, well with the GoPro you're pretty much hosed. And if you need to go bicycle around town or cross country you need something small and lightweight. Something reasonably rugged with a high quality image and whistles and bells to enhance your creativity. I carry an SX200 everywhere I go. I'm a big Canon fan, been shooting Canon since 1970 but to be fair, I looked at the other players. I went for the Canon. 16MP, 16X, EOS, Digic4, 720p,3"screen, AA batteries. Was $169, I think, (now $149) Its not build like a 5D but its small, lightweight and powerful. Be careful where you aim it.

super fast service and what a great camera, you can take pictures that look professional. give it a try you will love it

Love this camera! I am a power seller on eBay and use this camera exclusively for all my listings photos.
It's very reliable, easy to use.
If I was to accidently break it or if something happens to it, I would replace it with the same model.
