Отзывы о Цифровой Фотоаппарат Canon PowerShot SX160 IS

the battery killed this product! 4 AA really? 10 snaps and you need new batteries
i own 6 canon cameras this is the worst!

Bought this back in 2010 to replace a Fuji FinePix with 3.8MP and 6x optical zoom; this has been a great camera to take close up shots from a distance of wildlife

This is a great camera with great features & a great lens at a great price. You won't go wrong with this product.

I bought this camera to replace my old Canon powershot. So far this camera has exceded my expectations. Great price for a very nice easy to use camera.

As far it's as good as I expected. I had more to learn for it and especially shooting in different mode than auto. Good sharp pictures, but in low light the quality fells.

I had a Canon powershot for about 5 years, and I dropped it with the lens out, and it stopped working, so I bought this one. I love it, the zoom is clear, and it takes great video.

After much research I chose the SX1 (over SX10 or Panasonic FZ28) as a replacement for my A610.

Despite reading reviews, my first impression was that it was larger than expected... and perhaps a little heavier. Expectations are subjective of course, but this is no `pocket' camera! It's very solid (think `small DSLR' rather than `compact'), and though mainly plastic it's very well built. The lens surround is metal, and there's a metal tripod thread. It feels comfortable when held, and the weight should help avoid camera shake (as does excellent Image Stabilisation).

(Note - if you `rock' the camera gently whilst off there's a slight clunking noise, sounding like a loose item inside. You don't hear this when switched on. Apparently Canon say that it's perfectly normal. So don't be disconcerted!)

The second thing that stood out was the clarity of the display. The 2.8 inch screen is considerably larger than my A610's and very crisp and colourful. The viewfinder display is less impressive, but useable, but with the main screen so clear I'll probably use that more.

The 20x zoom lens is quite long when extended and reach is impressive. The lens cap is a pain - ideally it would be attached with a cord, but it can clip to the neck-strap. I miss an `automatic' lens cover but there you go.

If you've used another Canon compact you'll find the UI and menus familiar. There are many options to navigate, but all are accessed via a straightforward system, with `shortcut' buttons provided on the body (MF, ISO, Macro, Timer, Exposure compensation and a dedicated video record button which is really useful - no need to find video `mode' before filming). The widescreen display is used well with info neatly arranged to get the most from the space provided. In `normal' photo mode the image occupies the central area with settings shown on the right and left avoiding obscuring the image. Switch to widescreen mode for stills (and HD video) and the image then occupies the full width.

STILLS

The `$6 Million' question is how good is the image quality? I'd say very good.

Overall quality of picture in terms of sharpness, focus, colour, exposure and so on, is very good. In terms of `noise', from what I've seen the SX1 delivers generally good results. Initial tests were mainly indoors in natural light - a `worst case scenario' test. Generally the SX1 coped well and shots in brighter light are obviously better! Using `Auto' at mainly 100 or 200ISO shots were clean and tidy. At normal viewing resolution no real noise is visible. Zoomed to 2, 4 or even 6 megapixels images are fine and prints at 6x4, or perhaps even A4 size, should be fine.

At 100% the 10 megapixel indoor images do exhibit some `graininess'. However, this is probably `normal' for most 8+ megapixel compacts, which are pushing the limits of what a small sensor can achieve. With good light outdoors, I'm sure the SX1 is capable of producing superb shots, and at 10 megapixels opportunities are presented for cropping and enlarging.

Outdoor shots, despite dull weather, have come out very well. The zoom allows you to get in very close to subjects. Also, the wide angle (28mm) is great for group and indoor shots.

HD VIDEO

A large attraction of the SX1 is its Full HD video (1080p). With this the SX1 is something of a pioneer.

I shot several videos and converted to WMF using WinFF on my PC for smooth playback (see comments other review). With settings of 30000bps, 30fps, 1920/1080, the WMFs played back smoothly. Quality is superb - every bit as good as hoped for. Surprisingly, though Canon recommend Class 6, video worked fine with my Class 4 card (Sandisk Ultra II, 8Gb).

Indoors video came out fine, and though the SX1 can `overexpose' in bright light it is no worse than my `normal' camcorder.

One great thing is that you can grab 2 megapixel stills from the video. This is like having 30fps `burst mode' on the camera. Just convert to .wmv and via Windows Movie Maker you can save any frame as a JPG - perfect for 6x4 prints!

HD video is all I hoped it would be. Shoots fine, looks superb, CD quality sound, easily transferred to PC (no more `capturing' from tape) and with right software excellent results are achieved. It really does give you an HD camcorder in a stills camera. You'd want a good capacity card (16GB=56mins), but 16Gb are now available from about £20. The SX1 fits less video on a card than many HD camcorders, but there's a simple reason: Most HD camcorders encode at between 15 and 24Mbs - whereas the SX1 shoots at around 43Mbs!!.... And it shows!

EARLY CONCLUSIONS

The SX1 is a great, all-in-one, `bridge' camera. Well built, great zoom & wide angle, feels solid, takes good pictures, and superb video. With many features, manual controls, macro, 4fps burst mode, and so on, you get a lot for

I really love Canon PowerShot, they are fantastic cameras. The price is worth and you have a great quality for the size.

This is the third PowerShot I've had (dropped and broke the other two!). I'm comfortable with it, and it does exactly what I want. It is slightly bulky, and the door over the battery/disk housing is fiddly, but apart from that it's great.

We have had this camera for several years and it has been great! If this one ever breaks I am going to try to buy the same model again. The image quality is very good, and it has an orange LED light that allows it to focus in low light and complete darkness. Our Pentax waterproof camera does not have this, and as a result the Pentax has a horrible time focusing in low light conditions, but this Canon focuses great in the same conditions. The focus is also very fast. Also if you hold the shutter button half way down then it focuses, and then it will take a picture the instant you press the button all the way down. This is great for sports or shows where you know action is "about" to happen. You hold it half way to get focused, then press it all the way down the instant you want the picture and you get great pictures very easily. The macro feature also works well for taking very close pictures. The only negatives I have about this camera are related to the batteries; it runs on AA's and uses them up pretty quickly, and if you use regular alkaline batteries then the flash takes a little while to charge up. More expensive cameras will use lithium ion batteries which both last longer and charge the flash much faster, but that is a different price point of camera too. So if you're looking for an inexpensive camera, especially at the current price of $50 online, then this one is fantastic. The pictures are great, features are good and at this price you won't loose too much sleep if you break or loose it. I definitely recommend this for everyday snap shots!

I love the smaller size, also love it because you can put the date on your photoes, great price also

The only thing I dislike is the flash loading time and the waiting time between shots... but was a good purchase if you're not a pro. :)

Good while it lasted,we used it well and it was a great buy then,technology has advanced now and we use some other canon camera more.

The battery just exhausts every hour. I am not sure why. otherwise pics are good. This camera is like-able. Thanks.

I just wanted the Lens Cap and its good. Its Fits for my SX20IS and also has "Canon" logo ...

Thanks -Vish

Takes awesome pics and movies even close up. No tripod needed! Easy to use but not pocket friendly. You need a camera bag but it is worth it!

Exactly what I was looking for. I bought several of these at once since I am always misplacing them. Thanks!

This was a gift for my grandson and he has been taking some wonderful photos with it. The shots rival those taken with my DSLR.

This Cannon model was the first digital camera I ever bought. I decided to get a camera which used batteries because I was going on vacation and would not have my computer with me. Well, in retrospect, I would have opted for a camera with a charger that plugged into the wall. This camera drains batteries, especially when filming video. I've put in fresh high quality batteries, filmed a couple of videos and it tells me I need to replace the batteries. If I go anywhere I think I will film video, I always take at least 4 extra AA batteries along. Same with flash photography. Take a few photos and the battery icon starts flashing. It seems like it rips off the top of batteries, turns them upside down, and pours out all the juice. Another thing which happened is the view screen became out of focus. It looks like a TV screen back in the day when you could barely pick up a station using an antenna. This just happened one day out of the blue. I don't know what caused it and it never improved. The photos and video still come out like they did before, but I always have to explain that if anyone uses my camera, because they think the photo didn't come out. Aside from the battery life and view screen issues, the pictures and videos are of excellent quality and it is pretty easy to use even for someone like myself who was used to the old school, film-loading cameras. I finally decided to get a new camera because I didn't want to spend anymore money on 16 packs of AA batteries.

I love taking pictures with my new camera! and the video quality is amazing as well!I would definitely recommend this camera!

I adore this camera.We have a bigger better shinier zoomier more expensive canonas well,but I always choose to use this one for videos especially and the macro is more than the average photographer would need.

I BOUGHT A BUNCH OF THESE AS SPARES TO HAVE CHARGED AND READY A FEW YEARS AGO WHEN I BOUGHT A CAM CORDER FROM AMAZON SITE ALSO..THEY STILL WORK AND HOLD CHARGE

I have this camera for over 6 months now and I like it. I am not much of a techie person and I can figure it out just fine.

When I misplaced my charger, I went looking for a replacement and found this battery at a great price bought it too.
