Отзывы о Цифровой Фотоаппарат Canon PowerShot SX160 IS

Great replacement to the expensive brand option. I have had mine a few months and it has worked great. I put it in my extra grip with the brand battery and works fine. It shows the remainging power with no problem.

Great and idea for travelling with, easier to use than the recomended case when out on holiday, and very reasonably priced. Good long cord which can around the neck.

It was EXACTLY what I was looking for! The lens cap that came with my camera did not have the leash strap to attach it to the camera - I knew I would lose it, and I did. The Amazon information for the lens cap included which cameras the lens cap was compatible with - that was invaluable information and what prompted me to purchase it from Amazon. I had been searching the web and found several similar caps, but they never listed the compatible cameras, which made the listing useless in my view. Thank you Amazon for a thorough description of the item.

After many weeks of research and reading of reviews on multiple different brands and models of cameras, trying to find a replacement for my Sony P72 which I was unhappy with before it broke, I settled on purchasing the Canon SX10IS. Checking out some review sites that showed pictures taken with the differnt cameras, the pictures taken by the Canon SX10IS were better than any pictures taken by other superzooms in the same conditions and settings. Besides good picture quality, it also has all the features I was looking for in a digital camera: full manual controls, a camera that wasn't small and easily lost, AA batteries, and good macro and wide angle capabilities. When I was looking for the camera I didn't realize I actually desired a good zoom capability as well. In my first actual use of the camera at a baseball game where my son's class sang the national anthem, I found myself thanking myself for having gotten one with 20x zoom. I was able to get good pictures of him by home plate while I sat in the outfield nosebleed cheap seats. I'm loving the outstanding zoom capabilities.

In all of my tests and real world use of the camera I've not been let down. It performs just as well as the reveiwers said it would. I switched to rechargable AA batteries, but I wasn't able to drain the four alkaline AA batteries that came with it, before I replaced them before the earlier mentioned baseball game, and I took about 150 shots with the alkalines. I've taken video and about 200 shots with the recharables and haven't yet drained them. I do have a backup set of recharable batteries for when I really get to some extended photo sessions, but I don't see needing more than the one extra set. I have no complaints about its battery life.

I was also very pleased with its image stabilization. I was able to take pictures at extreme zoom that I know I wouldn't have been able to take clearly without it. I also took some macro photos without using a tripod, hand held only, and got some very clear results.

I'm glad it didn't come with a small memory card like some other people complain about. My old Sony came with a 16MB Sony card which was all but useless, as I could only get 12 or so pictures on it. Nobody has a use for that small a card. The SX10-IS not coming with one allowed me to get one of the size I want and not have to be saddled with a wasted card.

My only complaint is that it is fairly heavy and you'll definitely want to use the neck strap. You won't want to hand carry this camera around for long periods of time.

I do not regret for an instant purchasing this camera. I know I would have been unhappy with other models had I chosen differently. It's my first superzoom and with its similarity and functioning similar to a DSLR, it has me seriously thinking about taking the plunge into the DSLR realm at some point in the future after I improve my photography skills. In the mean time there are some third party add ons that can expand it's capabilities to be more DSLR like until I decide to take the plunge.

I bought one of these a couple of years ago, and honestly for the price you can get these cameras at, I don't understand why more people don't opt for this model. If you want the DSLR experience without spending £500+ on a camera, this is the best transition one you can get for this price. The digital zoom on this was so good I was able to photograph the night sky without blurring. Super impressed with this camera and I doubt I'll ever change it! Canon are great for point and click functions as well as their manual operations, and this one has both options. Love it!

Purchased in February, 2009. Love the zoom, ease of use, flexibility, AA batteries and pic quality. Not happy with quality of Canon cameras these days. This had a problem with a spot on the pics that Canon repaired under warranty in March, 2010. Had a problem with a color shift in April, 2011 that Canon will not repair under warranty and quote $100 to repair. Not worth it. Two years use is pretty bad when my earlier Canon cameras lasted 5+ years.

I read a lot of reviews while selecting this camera. Kudos to RLSd, F. Gillett, & Molly P., among others. Forget the stars - it was their accurate realistic detail that really helped. Lacking their expertise, I'll confine myself to a few areas that concerned me until I actually used the A590IS. This was partly due to other reviews that weren't as well done.

First is the size and "chunkiness" issue. It's chunkier than some of its peers, but only a bit. It slides into a jacket or jeans pocket very nicely. In exchange for the chunkiness you get a camera you can grip securely and hold steady. You also get a shape you are far less likely to drop, even holding it in one hand while scrambling over the rocks. Finally, you get a view finder, not just a screen. During a recent two weeks in Greece, that was a Godsend, as the bright Aegean sun totally wiped out the electronic image.

Second there is the battery issue. I read complaints from folks who said the camera ate batteries and died after too few shots. I'm not sure what was going on there, but you need to research the batteries the way you did your camera. The new Energizer lithium batteries got off about 400 shots, half with flash, before I had to replace them. And because it was a new toy, I was constantly using the camera to show my shots to my wife, which burned still more power. Hard to beat that. Are they the right choice for everyone? Maybe not. They are not rechargeable, so there's an ecological price to pay. Around the house I may switch to something greener, but for overseas trips, I'll stick with them.

Another issue is the lag time between flash shots. Let's be real. If you want instant turn-around time, you shouldn't be looking at a $130 camera that uses a pair of AAs. If you want a camera for fast-breaking sports and photo-journalism, don't get an A590IS. That said, I didn't think it took insufferably long. I can't think of any shots I failed to get due to recycle time.

Some folks had tales of woe about taking all these wonderful shots, only to have them disappear from the chip. When the camera arrives, read the little book, esp. the part on formatting your chip. That should prevent such sorrow from striking.

Incidentally, one little discussed but really cool feature is the zoom capability when examining photos already in the can. You can zoom in to an incredible degree and find things in pix you've already taken that you didn't even know was there. (Honestly, honey, I had no idea she was topless.) I was stunned by the clarity.

Do I have any complaints? A few. The manual is good but it has one of the worst indexes I've ever seen. Don't assume it omits a topic just because it isn't in the index. Flip through the pages and you'll find what you need. On occasion, I was disappointed in the inability of the camera to handle sharp lighting contrasts. Granted, Greek sunlight and shadow can create some extreme challenges, but it's still a limiting factor. The flash is useful but don't ask too much of it. You have to be quite close to your subject, esp. at night. If you are outdoors, it's easy to be too far away without realizing it.

I guess that's about it. My bottom line is that I love this camera and I'm pleased and amazed with the shots I brought back from my recent trip. It's a great transitional camera for someone like myself who finally decided to leave his old 35mm gear and give in to digital. The auto setting is really good, but it permits manual control as well. Am still experimenting with that but am encouraged by what I see. I would buy this camera again in a heartbeat.

The good:

1) It's compact enough to be taken anywhere U go,
2) Good price to performance ratio,
3) Manual controls in a compact camera with a view finder. Something that's getting rare these days,
4) Decent image quality under ISO 400. Good with macro photography.
5) AA batteries give U the choice to upgrade to better quality batteries than proprietary batteries,
6) Thank God it's not one of those 10MP plus compact cameras. 8MP is still too much for me. I w'd have been happy with 6MP. I wonder when will the 'more megapixel is better' syndrome ever die out?

The bad:

1) Slow as X'mas. Best for casual photography & especially for still or slow subjects,
2) Body has a very cheap feel to it. It w'd have been great in a black matt finish like the one found on the Canon G10,
3) This is a 2008 model & is no longer in production.

Conclusion:

If U want a very fast digital camera then pls avoid buying this camera. This is the kind of compact digital camera that can actually make U pick up photography if U are a beginner & help U learn the basics of photography. It c'd also be a good standby camera for a photography enthusiast who may already have a DSLR. In its time, it was one of the best compact cameras ever made under the 8MP category. I still enjoy using it for casual photography. I really wish Canon continues making such superb, highly capable, budget compacts with bigger sensors & less than 8MP size.

For the best experience, I use the Canon Powershot 590IS with Sandisk Extreme lll 4GB SDHC Sandisk 4 GB Extreme III SDHC Card (SDSDX3-4096, Static Pack), Sanyo Eneloop AA rechargeable batteries SANYO eneloop 4 Pack AA NiMH Pre-Charged Rechargeable Batteries & La Crosse Technology BC-700 battery charger La Crosse Technology BC-700 Alpha Power Battery Charger.

Just my $0.02.

Brgds.

Why the Powershot lens cap does not come with a way to attach it to the camera is beyond me. My wife and I tried to be careful about keeping tabs on it at all times but ended up losing it somewhere in Africa. This completely solves the problem. Who the heck wants to spend a vacation worrying about where they put the dang lens cap? A piece of sanity for less than $10.

I mostly shoot with Canon SLRs, but we wanted a compact camera for the times when we don't want to lug a bulky camera around just to take snapshots. I also wanted a simple camera for our kids to use. We used to use a Canon S50 for that purpose, but it's getting long in the tooth and I felt it was time to replace it.

My criteria were simple- it needed to use AA batteries and SD memory cards, because I didn't want to clutter our house with another charger or buy new cards. We have tons of rechargeable AAs in the house, I'd use those with this rather than disposables. And it needed to be inexpensive, but still take good photos. I also wanted optical image stabilization and an optical view finder for bright, sunny days. I didn't really care about the brand, but Canon has always served me well.

This wasn't the least expensive camera out there, but it was the least expensive that gave me everything I was looking for.

For what it is, this little camera is fantastic. It doesn't compare to SLRs in terms of performance or image quality, but I wouldn't expect it to. It does, deliver nice snapshots. If you know how to pre-focus (a necessary skill with all autofocus cameras), it's quick enough. The S50 that it replaced was a $500 camera when I bought it six years ago; I think this is faster and more fun to use.

The photo quality is good; I put the camera on "easy" mode and snapped a few shots of my kids. The camera used fill flash appropriately, and did a good job with exposure. There is almost no noise in the ISO 80 photos (you'll get these in bright light if you let the camera select ISO). ISO 400 has pretty bad noise; it looks like ISO 1600 on the Digital Rebel XT or XS, but it is entirely acceptable for snapshots that will be printed at 4x6.

I didn't buy this to be a video camera, but it has pretty much replaced a six-year-old Mini-DV camcorder. The video quality is almost as good as that one, and the camera is more convenient, so we've found ourselves getting video that we otherwise would have missed by not having the video camera with us. Don't expect stunning video, but it sure beats the VHS video of me when I was a kid. It's good enough to record the memories.

The build of the camera seems a little flimsy, especially the battery door; I'm docking the camera a star for that. The battery door is also difficult to open.

The manual controls are pretty limited, but, to be honest, I don't feel like I need them on a camera like this. You can manually control the ISO and flash; letting the camera pick the shutter speed and aperture based on that is fine for me. If I want full control, I can lug my DSLR around; if I have this, I just want to record the moment.

For the price, this camera is great- it does everything I expected it to do and it does it well. Look elsewhere (and be prepared to spend more money) if you're concerned about manual controls or advanced features. But if you just want an inexpensive camera to capture memories, you can't go wrong with this one.

----I carry this camera a lot in my side pocket (otherwise empty, of course!).----I am a nature hobbyist and use it in zooms and close-ups outdoors with good results -- I am impressed with the sharpness, but I DO have a steady hand.----I almost always use indoor available light with good results. The flash is also OK within its limited range (not for zoom shots). ---- The features are numerous and the detailed manual clear and thorough, but these could be intimidating to some. --- I had to just keep turning the dials and shooting till I became familiar with most of the nice features. IF you don't use the features much, you can usually shoot automatic.-- I use rechargeable batteries that have served well. (I also keep extras always ready). -- I find the time, aperture, and manual settings important (I even located a comet with the 15 second full aperture setting). Maybe the one thing that will be a problem will be the lack of an optical view finder which "in the old days" was how you aimed your film camera, and these day on some other digital cameras. -- I got this camera new at a price lower than it might be going for today at some sellers.

Very happy with this product, it fits well my canon powershot sx20is. The only negative point is that it doesn't fully clip when the sun protector is on my camera. When the sun protector is off, it fits perfectly.

I am a amateur photographer who has been using this camera for two years now and it is hands down the best camera out there for the price. I bought two more of the SX120IS version for family because they were so impressed with what my SX110IS could do. The 3.0" screen is gorgeous and huge compared to most. The 10x optical and 40x digital zoom allow me to get almost any shot I want. My friends with DSLRs have trouble getting as good of pictures as I do because of my ability to zoom. The picture quality is also perfect and the colors are all so bright and vibrant. I like the AAs because I was able to get a set of 4 rechargeable's which give me 200+ shots a pair. If I ever run out of juice on the go, AAs are very easy to find. The SD card slot is also nice because the cards are cheap for a large one and SD is becoming so universal.

I wanted a camera that I could carry around in my pocket, with good zoom and very good picture quality. This camera was the ticket and I would buy another in a heartbeat. A friend bought the Canon S5 for much much more and mine takes the same picture quality, has significantly better zoom and is much more straight forward to use.

Pros:
Price
Image Quality
Zoom!
Large 3.0" LCD Display
Universal AAs and SD Card
Easy to Use

Cons:
You're still reading this and haven't started to enjoy one yet.

I have this little camera about three years now .
It goes with me wherever I go because of its convenient size .
After reading MOST of the reviews I am surprised that people have not addressed the BEST feature besides taking very good pictures, on the A550 - IT HAS AN OPTICAL VIEW FINDER ! ! !
That allows you to take a QUICK picture in bright daylight . Just about impossible with ALL other digital cameras were you have to interpret that barely visible image on the washed out screen .
To me this is the deal breaker for all other newer cameras .
Yes , there are the SLRs but they don't meet my size requirement .
I just hope that my A550 last many more years because there are no cameras in this size that have an optical view finder .

Unfortunately not many point-and-shoot cameras have optical viewfinders anymore and that's a shame. This camera DOES have an optical viewfinder and that helps it to stand above the crowd. It also has an LED screen but such screens are nearly impossible to see in bright sunlight. Holding a camera at arm's length to compose a picture on a screen can introduce shake and cause blurry photos. Therefore, for many, using an optical viewfinder is a much better option.

Since this camera has an optical viewfinder, image stabilization, face recognition and a 10 megapixel sensor an amateur photographer who is using this camera can take superior photographs in good light that will yield sharp 8 1/2 X 11 prints. Although I usually use a digital SLR, I must say that I'm impressed with the quality of the images that this camera delivers...especially considering its low price, small size and 7-ounce weight. With rechargeable or lithium AA cells, battery life is excellent and recycle times are short.

The July 2009 issue of Consumer Reports features a cover photo of this camera and ranks it just below a $450 camera in its "compact camera" ratings. On their recommendation and after doing considerable comparison shopping and reading other reviews, I bought this camera for my stepson. However, before I gave it to him, I took many photos under varied conditions to ensure that it would be adequate for his needs. I was so impressed that I'll probably get one for myself.

The fact that I could favorably compare the photos from this camera with those from my much more expensive digital SLR was remarkable, but there are inevitable limitations. There are no manual settings for exposure or focus. The 4X optical zoom may not give as much range as some photographers need and the effective flash distance is limited. The sensor has excellent dynamic range, but introduces noise in the pictures when they're taken in low light with ISO settings above 100.

A couple of AA batteries are included with the camera, but you'll soon need more and better ones. A small 32MB SD card is included but a much bigger SD card or cards will be needed if you want to store more than seven or eight full-resolution photos. Therefore, your initial investment will need to be larger than the base price of the camera for it to perform up to expectations. Nonetheless, when considering the price, small size and very good image quality I believe this camera will meet or exceed the expectations of all but the most demanding amateur photographers.

About a year after I bought and evaluated this camera, I bought Canon's replacement for this model; the Powershot A1100IS, for my wife. It is about the same size and price as this camera was last year but offers more pixels a bigger included memory card, more sophistication but retains the optical viewfinder. Check out the A1100IS. It's even better.

I inherited my camara from my brother. He was like you should not need a leash for a lens cap. So of course first thing I do is lose the lens cap. Now with this one I am using the leash. Love it. Great service fast delivery. Very happy.

Before purchasing the Canon SX10IS I did about three months of looking over reviews, going in stores to actually hold different cameras, and constantly changing my mind from Canon to Sony to Panasonic and back again. As you know there are plenty of diehard Canon and Sony lovers that have reviewed their particular purchase. I have not been brand loyal when it comes to digital cameras. I have had mostly Sony's, a few Canon's and some lower end Kodak's. So when I finally made my decision to push that order button on the Canon SX10IS it was because I felt it was the best camera for me.
I was in a heated internal battle between the Sony Cyber-shot DSC-H50 and the Canon PowerShot SX10IS. Both cameras have great ratings and reviews on Amazon and other electronic sites. One small thing to others was a big thing to me, the battery situation. I prefer to be able to use AA batteries over having to buy Sony batteries. Just for the ease of AA being handy no matter where I go. The other selling points for me were the flip LCD screen and the hot shoe feature for future use if I decide to get serious with my photos.

I have waited to post my review because I wanted to use the Canon a while before giving my final thoughts. I am by no means a top tier photo person and I do not know half of what my Canon will actually do (yet, still reading the manual as needed). However, I can honestly say the pictures are flat out beautiful that I have been taking. The 20X zoom is far more than enough for all my needs. The pictures I was taking so impressed the folks sitting next to me at a recent concert that they wrote down the model of the Canon so they could go home and order it from Amazon too! We were sitting in the middle of the arena and my shots of the singers are like I was in the third row. Not only are the pictures great because you can actually see who is on stage (unlike some of my previous camera's photos due to low zoom capability), but they are also so crisp. A major concern of mine prior to buying my camera was that there are not too many reviews that talk about concert photos. I give an A+++ on this bad boy when it comes to concerts.

The Canon SX10IS is a tad heavier than the Sony DSC-H50, but after holding both I liked the little extra weight. When we are getting to this level of point and shoot cameras, I liked the feel of holding something with a little more substance to it.

I hope this review helps you make a decision. On a side note, the shipping from Amazon was wonderful. My camera arrived two days earlier than expected!

Based on the reviews, I bought this camera for 3 of my friends who wanted it. All the 3 were very satisfied with the build and image quality of the camera. This is one of those very reliable and good quality point and shoot Canon cameras.

The lens cap that came with my Canon XS20IS didn't come with a leash, and was designed so poorly that it fell off all the time. This replacement lens cap is perfect. It is much better than the original and I don't have to worry about losing it again. It doesn't say Canon on it but it does look like it should have come with the camera.

I bought this camera while I was pregnant with my first child. I thought the picture quality would be MUCH better than it is. An SLR is the way to go if you want crisp photos. This camera is a bulky point and shoot and I hardly ever use the zoom feature because the pictures are just not sharp so it's not worth it. My sister spent a little bit more money and got a brilliant SLR. If you are going to buy a bulky camera, pay the extra money to get the real thing. This was just not worth it!

I am an independent insurance adjuster and while I use this camera for personal photography I mostly use it in my work. I had the Power Shot A 630 before and while it was good, it is bulky and hard to fit into your pants pocket. The big plus with it was the flip view finder that was most handy. There are other cameras that are more compact than this one but most of them do not have a viewfinder. I find a viewfinder most helpful when you are out on a sunny day with the sun on your screen.

If you use the camera to transfer your photos from camera to your PC you are going to find that it has a hearty appetite for batteries so I suggest you invest in a card reader. If you take a lot of photos, a card reader will pay for itself in short order.

My biggest complaint about the camera is it is easy to change the settings on it and not know it. When climbing ladders, I put it in my pocket so it sometimes changes to another setting without me knowing it. For its size the zoom is good but you always would like more. I would prefer if it had a little more wide angle setting for some of the shots I have to take. The flash is OK and does a pretty good job eliminating redeye and I suspect does just as well as its competition in terms of effect distance, harshness and redeye reduction.

The quality appears to be excellent. I have not had one performance problem with it even though I have dropped it a couple of times. By the way, the A630 is still going strong too. When you are out on a claim you can't afford for your camera to quit on you so the A630 goes along as a back up. The only time I sue it is when I need the flip view finder.

Let's face it, since the coming of the digital age, Canon has been the number 1 seller and there is a reason for that. I also have a Canon Rebel SLR that I bought right after I retired from professional photography and it has also held up well and provides excellent exposures.

I was very happy with this item and yes I totally recommend it. Very classy and user friendly and battery hold charges.. Tripod looks and very flexible

Why clog up the site with obsolete equipment from years ago? This might have been a good buy in its day, but it's way past it prime now. Unlike classic film cameras, there's little point in old digital stuff.

I purchased this camera in Dec. 2008 as a present for myself. At that time I paid $109.00 for it....I at that time had no idea it had just came out. BRAND NEW in the box. I loved the camera! Picture quality: excellent! I only have one complaint....At my son's graduation someone bumped into me and knocked the camera out of my hand onto the concrete....it was completeley destroyed...in pieces. I was heartbroken...so i decided to purchase another one...to my surprise the price had TRIPLED! It now runs in excess of $300.00. Well because I could not replace it at the original price I paid for it.....I don't have a camera. But it is worth the price! If you can afford it...buy it! you won't be disappointed. The video quality was amazing! I had a 4gb memory card and I could video up to 40mins. It was amazing! Canon outdid themselves on this one! I'll have to do some great negotiating to talk my husband into letting me purchase another one at this price! Enjoy!
