Отзывы о Цифровой Фотоаппарат Canon PowerShot SX160 IS

Great camera for the price. Easy to use. Great pictures. Uses Batteries fast. Great Zoom like the LCD display ...................

Great camera for the money I wanted to spend. The camera met all my expectations. Simple to use and very intuitative.

Amazing camera with tons of features. I think this is the best camera under $400. Next step after this thats worth it is a rebel.

Camera responds to thephotographer's snap! This replaced a camera with a malfunctioning battery cover . .... ... .... ... .

Even though I haven't used it yet, the appearance, the required size and material appear to be excellent.
It looks very similar to the batter it's replacing.

I had originally considered getting either a Panasonic TZ7 or an Olympus mju9000 both of which have long zoom lenses (around ten times magnification) and similar numbers of pixels (about 10MP).

When I started checking the review sites I discovered that there seems to be an insurmountable optical problem when trying to combine a long zoom lens with an extremely compact body namely that the sensor has to be very small for the extreme telephoto image to fit onto it.
This naturally causes problems (such as horrendous barrel distortion) which are really to do with the laws of physics and therefore unavoidable.
The manufacturers try to get around it with a lot of post processing of the resulting image by the camera's electronics but it never really works that well. The picture quality always suffers.

I decided therefore to do without the long telephoto zoom.
If picture quality is your absolute priority then you may choose to do the same in which case this camera is probably the best available compact at the moment.

Personally I would have preferred a slightly wider angle minimum setting for the zoom although this will probably only be a problem if you're taking pictures indoors.

The quick shoot mode (using only the optical viewfinder) is exceptionally good and produces the most accurate exposures whilst also reducing power consumption. The Program mode is nearly as good.
It's worth playing about with the exposure metering options and the exposure compensation for a while to get the best combination.
The manual mode is not truly manual since it doesn't allow complete control over all parameters but it does give some choice and it's probably the best you're ever likely to get on a compact camera.
Full automatic tends to overexpose slightly for my taste - but then I suppose it's set to produce cheery holiday snaps rather than angst filled landscapes so most people may find it useful in most circumstances.
I haven't really bothered much with the various 'scene' modes which include things like 'fireworks', 'underwater' and even 'aquarium' (?!) which seems a bit esoteric.
The most useful of these is probably 'ISO 3200' which increases light sensitivity for night scenes but is predictably grainy.

If you want more detail about how it works I would strongly suggest that you go to the Canon website and download the user's manual BEFORE you buy - I think this is a good idea with any camera (or technical product of any kind for that matter).

In terms of appearance the camera is startlingly small especially if you're used to 35mm SLRs or even compact film cameras. Its quality of construction is excellent as are the materials. It's slightly heavier than I expected given its size.
I prefer the black finish - less conspicuous - (although it is available in silver) and the 'organic' curves.
The battery takes about an hour to charge and lasts well despite only being c.650mAh capacity. I thought I'd need a spare but probably won't.

The on/off button glows green when switched on and takes quite a firm push to operate which is a good idea since the motors extending and retracting the lens segments would probably be damaged if it tried opening in your pocket or a case as a result of a bump or accidental pressure.
The zoom ring surrounds the shutter release button and the whole arrangement is very neat.
The layout of the other controls and their method of operation is pretty typical except that the main mode selector control is a fairly stiff five position rotary switch rather than the usual cursor/display method of most cameras.

I found the LCD display (which protrudes slightly from the camera back) a little over-bright even at the minimum brightness setting but this was with indoor use, outdoors you probably wouldn't notice.
Because of the provision of an optical viewfinder the display is a little smaller than on other compacts but big enough to do what's necessary.
The optical viewfinder is more useful than you might expect (re. my comment above about 'quick shoot' mode).

Overall the pictures are of extraordinary quality and the camera is a beautiful piece of work.
If you're used to using 35mm SLRs then you'll probably appreciate this as a highly portable reserve to carry at all times.
I think Canon have got their priorities (i.e. picture quality v. gimmickry you probably won't use anyway) about right.

Great Camera. Fantastic quality. Took it to Paris, France on vacation and never regretted it! Make sure to buy an extra battery so you never miss a shot!

Well the good news is the lens cap fits securely onto my camera (Canon Powershot SX20IS) which is the only reason I gave this product a second star. However, the strap is a freaking joke!!!

Don't be fooled by the image which makes it appear as though the string leash strap loops through the lens cap and can be attached to your camera. The strap connects to the lens cap with a tiny rubber sticky tab, smaller then a dime. Even if I wanted to use a different strap, there isn't even a notch on the lens cap that it could be tied to/looped through.

Needless to say if I didn't need my lens cap for traveling next week, I would be returning it. Luckily I don't buy clothing without pockets and I also have a camera bag so I can put the lens cap somewhere safe without loosing it.

BOTTOM LINE: You get what you pay for; not much!

this camera looks amazing, function perfect... i have nikon coolpix s8200 also... compair to this canon my nikon is good.. bcoz this canon dont have perfect clearity.. but only its look so nice... :(

Using your Cannon PowerShot as a video camera is much better having this AC adapter. Keeps you from worring about the battery going dead in the middle of a recording!

This is my 7th Canon Camera and is a total pleasure to use. Strong construction, a wealth of features, and great pictures. I will probably buy some more of these for my relatives.

I recieved it before time and in good condition. The packing was not too good but it came to me in good shape.The camera is very good for the price,of course is a canon.Thankyou.Juan

I was looking for a cheap cover to replace my lost one. Love this and it's stretchy cord. I ended up buying three more for my familiy members who have the same camera.

Great product! Cannon products ar the best as well as their customer service. Would not buy another brand of camera.

absolutely all canon cameras that I had broke after a 2-3 years of normal use. this one had problems with the zoom that stop functioning...

Everything ok.thank you for your product is a excellent price and qualityregardsmerry chrismas and happy new year

This camera has a serious focusing problem. It has nothing to do with light or moving the camera. This camera also runs through a set of four batteries in less than a couple of days. This product is unreliable and I wouldn't recommend it to anyone.

me llego bien , buen articulo, buen vendedor, me llego a tiempo, por ahora todo esta bien, lo compraria de nuevo

I bought this as a present because my SX35 is such a good camera, It is very much liked by the owner as it is a good point and shoot for quick snap shots.

Generally camera ok for what it is. However, for close up, macro or telephoto (ie 5x optical) the optical viewfinder is a real problem as it isn't even approximately centered with the view screen / captured image. If you center the picture with the optical viewfinder at 5x only 1/3 of what you see thru it will be captured! Poor

took some great picture. Great Camera for the money! was able to take some great shots in New Orleans with this Camera.

I've owned my Canon SX1 IS for just on a year now. I can't say I'm all that happy with it.

First off, the good. It's comfortable to hold. The video quality at 1080p is fantastic in good light. It really is as good as many HD camcorders I've owned in the past (I'm a gadget freak, I've had a few.) The sound quality is excellent. With rechargeable AA batteries, the battery life is very good. The zoom range is excellent.

The bad. Where do I start?

First off, for a digital still camera - it takes poor stills. Noisy and soft. At the telephoto end of the zoom it's even worse. It amazes me that many people are happy with the picture quality of this camera, because it's the least impressive digital camera I've owned.

Take the lights down and it gets even worse. There is a great deal of grain and noise in low light shots, even with ISO set as low as possible.

You can only take HD videos when the still picture aspect ratio is set to 16:9. A bit annoying if you want to take stills using the most megapixels and switch seamlessly to video.

The zoom rocker feels nice but has only one speed.

The movie record button is a bit awkward to reach for me. I don't have a 7 inch long thumb, sadly.

Movie mode ignores settings in P, A, S or M modes. Your carefully composed backlit composition will go all dark as soon as you press the movie button.

The only control available in movie mode is exposure compensation.

Manual focus is a complete pain and is pretty much impossible in video mode. This is because the small dial on the back of the camera requires many, many turns to go from one end of the focus range to the other. If you are manual focussing during video, you'll miss the shot before you can get even close.

The EVF is horrible. It is of such low resolution that it's useful only as a framing guide when the light is so bright that you can't see the LCD. It's useless for manual focussing or judging exposure.

I've been trying to sell my SX1 for the past 6 months, with no luck. I've decided to keep it as a camcorder, as it's strengths are as a video device rather than as a still camera.

All in all, not a complete write-off, but disappointing considering the brand.

This camera came out in 2008, and was about $180 brand new. I must admit, it's a great camera and loaded with many manual features that normally aren't found on a point-n-shoot. I'd check in Amazon about the price they're asking, because something isn't right. Trust me, great camera, great features, but not worth that price!

I would rate this camera only as average at this time because of the battery problems outlined below. Have not used the camera enough to rate the quality of the photos, features, and general operation at this time. Also, the included SD card with the camera was a measly 32 MB, basically nothing in this day and age of large image files and cheap memory. To get decent photos capacity and a spare, I bought two on-sale Kingston 2 GB SD cards, one from Meritline.com for ca. $7 (free shipping) and one locally at Inkspot for ca. $5.

My advice to others is that if you suspect your camera has a problem not due to your use/handling and the camera is still under warranty; return it ASAP to Canon for repairs.

I bought camera early last December as a Christmas present, from Amazon since it seem to have the best price at the time including free shipping. Selected this camera model based on Consumer Reports' recommendation, mostly favorable user reviews on Amazon and some ther websites, and the camera price and features. I was a bit concerned about some reviewers complaining of low battery life, but thought perhaps they were a small minority, maybe their problems were due to the way some used thier cameras/settings, and there's always a few lemons sold in any product line.

2. The camera out of the box seemed to be functional for all the features I tested, but after playing with the camera to learn how to use it, and a few dozen shots, the low battery inidcation came on. after a few number more shots (est. a few dozen), the battery replace indication came on and the camera shut down. These were the Panasonic alkaline AA batteries that came with the camera. At this time my voltmeter measured the batteries at ca. 1.35v.

3. To reduce power use, changed some settings to turn LCD off after a short time, and the IS (Image Stabilization) from always on to on only during shots. Put in new Berkley & Jensen (BJ's) alkalines, same low battery indication after a few dozen shots. After about a dozen more shots, the replace battery indication came on and the camera shut down. After checking the battery contacts, letting the camera sit for a while, etc., no change in behavior, i.e. camera can be turned on for a few shots with low battery indication on, then change battery indication comes on and camera shut down. The BJ's batteries voltage was 1.45v at this time.

4. A friendly camera repair place person told me about the Canon website online repair setup and gave me an Internet address, but even then it was not easy to find page, the website search did not find it for me. Go to any consumer camera model support; look at the bottom part of the page for links to "Repair Request" or "Repair & Tracking. Gee, I wonder why Canon doesn't make it obvious, could it be that they really don't want to hear from us, especially for warranty stuff... ?!?!
[...]
So I decided to return camera to Canon for warranty repair (no cost except my shipping camera to them). I mailed the camera (included 2 sets of batteries I used) to Canon's Elk Grove Village, IL facility by US Mail, insured and with post office deliver confirmation. Canon received it in a few days, confirmed receipt to me via E-mail, and I received it and my batteries back by FedEx ca. 3 days later. Factory documentation returned with the camera noted that:

- Low batteries was cause of problems, said nothing about any adjustments ("Unit has battery shortage. Check all functions, repair to good working order."), but since the camera behaves differently after getting it back, I suspect they adjusted both the battery low and the battery replace indicators' voltage threshold settings even though nothing was said about it.
- "...found the optical assembly was inoperative and the focus did not operate properly. Adjustments were carried out on the optical assembly." I did not notice any wildly out of focus photos by the out-of-the-box camera using the Auto focus mode; perhaps they're addressing the manual focus mode that I did not test.

5. After I received the camera back from Canon, I put in the original used Panasonic and BJ's akalines (approx. 1.35v and 1.45v, respectively, similar to as previously measured), and still got the low battery indication with both sets.

6. Decided to put in a new set of BJ's alkalines, measured at ca. 1.59V. Camera set for AUTO mode, IS on only during shots, face detection on. Occasionally used the zoom feature, once or twice for every 25 set of shots.
- After 100 shots in succession, most with flash used, battery voltage checked to be ca. 1.43v.
- After 32 more shots, low battery indication came on, did 12 more shots, turned camera off, batteries checked at ca. 1.35v
- When camera turned back on, low battery indication not on, but came on again after 5 shots. When got up to 191 shots total, camera to off, batteries checked to be ca. 1.38v.
