Отзывы о Цифровой Фотоаппарат Canon PowerShot SX160 IS

Don't have time to go into details but this camera met all my expectations, Great pictures, great manual controls and great menu system I have zero complaints!

Just came back from 9 week backpacking trip in Asia. I usually use a Canon DSLR, but could not bring my SLR due to size, weight, worrying about its safety all the time, attracting too much attention, etc.

However, if you're an SLR user like me, you miss all the professional functionality, versatility and most of all, zoom range when you settle for most point-and-shoot (PAS) cameras.

The SX110 IS was my dream come true. The 10x optical zoom makes all the difference... in 35mm terms you have a max focal length of 360mm -- like carrying a massive zoom lens on an SLR. Can't count how many beautiful shots would have been impossible if I had been using an 5x zoom or less.

Pros:
- full creative modes (Av, TV, Manual, exposure adjustments) that are actually faster to adjust than my SLR, no fake "Manual" modes that lots of PAS's have, which are anything but Manual
- (it's still got all the scene modes, e.g. Landscape, Action, Portrait, etc. and most of the common ones are on the main dial so you don't have to cycle through them onscreen to get them quickly if you're not comfortable with the creative modes)
- lots of white balance options
- you manually flip-up the flash, only when you want to use it... I hate it when cameras automatically decide for me when to pop-up and use the flash (or you have to cycle through the flash buttons to get control of them) ... I know whether I want flash or not dammit... also you can adjust the flash intensity (great for using light flash on daytime shots in the shade)
- massive and beautiful 3-inch LCD
- form factor... compared to others in its class, i.e. PAS's that have great zoom and full creative modes, this was the smallest -- it actually fits in your pocket (bizarrely I've seen a bunch of reviews that say it's too big for your pocket -- not true at all as long as you're not wearing ridiculously tight pants), unlike those PAS's (including a lot of Canons) that are, to me, in no-man's-land because they're too big for a PAS and too small, not enough lens quality and w/o lens interchangeability to be a SLR
- has a jog dial! (like SLRs have)... so great, and not that many PAS's have it. Let's you very quickly review/search through tons of photos, and quickly change shooting parameters like ISO, aperture, shutter speed, instead of pushing pushing pushing buttons to get what you want
- the awesome Canon user interface -- I have tried all different brands and Canon is the best hands down
- image stabilization seemed to work pretty well

Cons:
Big Cons
- I do not like the AA battery as power source. This camera chews up AA batteries like no other... on one day when I took about 250+ pictures I went through 8 AA batteries. Granted: I probably should have bought a rechargeable AA system before I left, never tried that and also, the batteries for sale in Asia are cheap but they are absolute crap (even Western brands, although they were probably knockoffs). The high-quality $12 lithium AA's I bought in the US before I left lasted much longer, but still not that long.
- the flash has to sit there and get recharged by the batteries before you can shoot again. My guess is it takes about 3-5 seconds, which is an eternity when you're asking people to hold a pose or you've got a fleeting chance at a great photo opp... this actually caused me to miss a few good shots
- video -- you cannot zoom in or out once you start filming! I have no idea why not. Also, the video quality options are that of cameras from a few years ago.. can't shoot in HD, and can't shoot at a super-high rate of frames per second like some tiny Elphs from years ago can
Small cons
- can't shoot in RAW -- won't bother most people since most people just shoot JPGs but I will be moving to RAW soon
- a bit slow to focus, I have definitely seen better in lots of PAS cameras
- face detection was not as good as some other PAS's I've seen -- slow to recognize faces if it even recognized them at all -- although not a huge deal for me as I never rely on face detection to focus
- in the display review, there are four displays to cycle through -- the 4th is a "focus check" which zooms on the center of the photo (or face if detected). It's pointless -- it does nothing more than what you do anyway to check focus when you do a standard review, you zoom in using the zoom buttons and move around the picture to see what you want to check -- except it adds extra cumbersome steps. Canon should get rid of this -- all I want when I cycle through review display modes is the 3rd display -- to check the histogram and see what the camera chose if I'm not in full Manual (i.e. what ISO if I'm using auto-ISO, what shutter speed if I'm using aperture-priority, etc.)
- would be nice to have an exposure bracketing feature, but this is something you almost never see on PAS's anyway

Anyway, I gave thi

I bought this camera from somewhere else but it was so good, I decided to write this small review. The camera menus are very easy to use, like I said, this camera is excellent for beginners. One thing you must remember to do, is to turn off all "Zoom" that are turned "On" in the Menu. You will get better quality pictures with the "Zoom" off. The camera is not perfect like those pricey cameras, but it is pretty darn good.

Just received my tripod in the mail. It's pretty cool, has all the functions. interestingly enough, It is all black not metallic, and has a different name (Xit) that doesnt matter though. it has great features and for a novice like me it's great for the price it sells for.

our main camera is a canon 5d markll, but we're having a baby and wanted a small digital camera that we could take with us everywhere (so that we stop using our iphone camera). the camera body has a nice weight and it's pretty simple to learn how to use.

The camera arrived in plenty of time to take pictures of family and other visitors over the Christmas holidays. The pictures were great.

this refurbished camera arrived quickly and has performed well for several years. I recently purchased another later model Canon in this family to get the longer zoom and higher light sensitivity, but my son now uses the 590 and it is still going strong

Had this a few years now and it has been a great camera to have while our daughters have been growing up.

No problem with the camera, it came on time, with any delays. it has being working really good. God job.

I was given this camera a few years ago and love it. The flash doesn't work so the owner donated it to me. I love the photos it takes they are always clear and the macros are nice. The 4 AA batteries last quite a while too! I bought rechargeable batteries for it. If the flash worked I would be completely happy with it, but it was free for me, so my expectations may have been lower. Either way, it's the best camera I have ever had!!!!

The Canon G15 received on time with no delay at all ,,, we are very happy from it ,, it was as described on the sales and the quality of photos are very good and much better from older models.

Easy to use camera makes great pictures. Unfortunately, the flash is not automatic and has to be flipped up manually. Something my wife frequently forgets to do.

It's awesome works great. I have no complaints. It's the best camera I have ever had. If your thinking about buying it do it. The camera came fast and was ready to go

fits camera really well. Good choice especially with the leash which keeps it on camera, ensuring no it doesn't get missing.

I was looking for a camera not as sophisticated as an SLR but still having enough features to enable me to capture the tiny and the large that I need.
Just bought Canon PowerShot SX150 Is. Really haven't used it much so cannot talk about the pros and cons right now.
But, the model looks quite smartly designed. Not very sleek but guess you need to have some weight when you have a 12x optical zoom in the model.
The display is big enough and handling is easy. The interface could have been better with the button and options that appear
Thats about it from me as of now. Will add about the pic quality when I really take it out on the field.

I love the camera. I am a point-n-shot person and this camera takes wonderful pictures. I can even use some of the non "auto" settings

This camera is NOT for a casual camera buff as it has loads of manual options. The pictures are fantastic and the camera is easy to use once you learn it.

I love the camera. I am a point-n-shot person and this camera takes wonderful pictures. I can even use some of the non "auto" settings

the lens is fantastic on this camera, i have owned a couple powershots over the years and this one is the best. Yes i miss the articulating screen, but it is worth the sacrifice. you wont be sorry with this purchase.

This camera is the best can take great pictures from far away and bright it near as you were standing in front.

I ordered the cable to replace what I believed to be a bad cable for my Canon camera. As it turns out the cable was fine....it was the connector port on the camera that was bad. I just kept this one...I may have use for it later.

great camera does al i will need it looking forward to many nice photo's to come. also got at great price

I just love this camera. It is everything I expected it to be. Great atributes and I fully recomend it.

Just love it!!!! I has the Canon G12 and this one is just even better!!! Great for photograph lovers!!!! Go for it!!
