Отзывы о Цифровой Фотоаппарат Canon PowerShot SX160 IS

I purchased the sock to protect my new Ixus 115 HS as I prefer to carry it in my jeans pocket.
The sock is a good fit and isn't bulky like a camera case.
Good price and I would recommend to others.

my quarrel with this product is that it is a fine camera, but it throws it away by emitimg a dumbed-down format like jpeg. This format is used to save memory stick space, but folks, memory is cheap! It locks you out of good computer processing of your images, something your grand-children might want to do with your images, even if you don't. Use of this format is unecessary for any camera over 2 megapixels. and harmful to your photographic health. You need "raw" a faithful image of what your camera sees.
THat's the bad news, but the good news is the camera mfrs are finally coming out with raw shooters in this price range. So wait. And also look for cams that do bracketed exposures automatically at different exposures, emiting raw. Then you've got the photographic world by the horns because you can do HDR, high dynamic range. It's actually easy.
I am looking for a small cam to compliment my $5,000 Nikon monster, but I won't settle for a jpeg-shooter.
What's that You say you just want to take a few snaps and dont care about this rocket-science? Let me tell you a story. A friend's wife sent me a pic of animals expressing friendship to each other, a real "aww shucks" photo that I loved and wanted to print out and process. But it was in low res jpeg. Useless. OK, hi res jpeg would have been better, BUT:
It won't cost you much more money to use raw. Why not get your money's worth? You have an advanced 10 megapixel range sensor in even the cheapest cam these days, why throw it away on jpeg when some engineer made the wrong design decision? It's yours for your money, free! Demand it! ANd you don't have to use raw all the time, a simple switch will set you to jpeg if you want throw-away pics...
Wait like a cat and pounce when the camera mfrs offer raw with bracketed exposure.
By the way, programs to process photos on your computer are often free. Photomatix is used for HDR, using raw. Gimp is a free photoshop clone. Now HDR will give you control over your exposure of dark and light areas of your photos. A crappy shot will be saved and maybe turned into a wow shot. It's hard to shoot perfect photos out in the field. I have spent hours getting the "right" shot. Then I saw what computer processing can do, and I instantly realized that it could make a pro photo from an inexpensive camera. Or a good phto from a lousy shot. And most of your shots will be lousy, trust me. Even the pros throw away 90% of their shots. Less work, wow quality, mmmmm. Come to mama...

This is a soft and simple means of protecting your Ixus from scratches. It is easy on your pocket or handbag and will not damage any other items - e.g. your mobile phone.Canon Digital IXUS 95 IS Digital Camera - Silver (10 MP, 3.0x Optical Zoom) 2.5 inch LCD

After use it everyday for two months, I think I can say something.
the good:
1.- picture quality. CMOS sensor is realistic. The camera doesn't add any make up to the picture. Same quality than the G9, with it's 12.1MP CCD sensor. Noise appears at ISO 800 without flash. Personally, I never go that far in ISO selection. I prefer low ISO settings. This sensor do the job perfectly.
2.- speed. pretty fast stat up and continuous up to 4pps.
3.- impressive video quality. very good sound. No intrusion of zoom motor, neither in high speed zoom. Very precise and powerful zoom.
4.- built in flash turn on and off is easy. Simply raise it to fire it or leave it hiden if you want your picture natural. The camera will do the precice adjust so your picture is always good. (shake warning if too dark)
5.- wireless remote control is a must in entertainment cameras. this camera comes with one that can be used to control the player too. You can use it as a HDMI video player if you previously record the films in the card.
6.- vary angle 2.8" LCD wide screen. very useful.
THE BAD:
1.- the lens cap: Easy to lost. It should have a small cord to hold it so you can let go right after take it off the lens. precious moments lost because you have to engage it to the neck strap. And if you don't use the neck strap?...
2.- I almost always press accidentally the button "display" trying to open the screen. Need to be relocated.
3.- Lack of poketability: Spontaneous pictures lost. You have to decide whether you prefer to take this camera with you or leave it in the car... because it's big and noticeable. My soon stop being itself when he notice the camera in my hands... you know.
4.- remote control: Easy to lost. It should came with a holder attached to the neck strap.
5.- have to set at one of the night modes to get more than one second of aperture. You can't get it on speed priority mode.
6.- EVF is bad compared with the resolution in the main screen. but is useful if you want to capture the moment.

Over all, I really like it. The picture out of the CMOS sensor is another thing. It feels like a DSLR, as it's the same sensor. Everybody likes it's pictures and videos quality, resolution and brightness.

This camera is a really cool cross-over device. It bridges the gap between a point and shoot camera and a DSLR camera. This is good for someone interested in photography, but not sure that it will become a passion. It allows you to shoot with an incredibly simple mode for quick snapshots of friends and family, but you can switch to the more advanced modes (including fully manual) for taking specific photographs. I often use the camera in "easy" mode for general picture taking, but then I switch it over to "manual" for shooting serious photographs.

Using the camera in "manual" mode is a bit annoying, because manual focus, aperture and shutter speeds need to be changed individually with the arrow buttons. This is fine when taking the time to compose photographs, but annoying when trying to capture carefully composed photos on the fly.

Having used this camera for about a year and a half at this point, I now have a much better understanding of what all the different factors of a photo are, and I have a very good idea of what I need in a higher-end camera when I upgrade in the future.

This camera is a bit bulky, but not nearly as bad as a full-sized DSLR. It's a good compromise for carrying manual features when you might not use them, such as hanging out with friends and not wanting to miss the chance for a great photo. I carry mine with a Gorrilla Pod, but the smallest size is really too small for this camera. It makes a really good (nearly) fully featured camera in a small package.

Battery life is dramatically improved (it becomes great!) by using rechargeable batteries instead of disposables. Otherwise, battery life bites.

Interface with a Mac is a bit annoying, but not an issue at all. You just have to do "image capture" under applications, and it will pull up a folder to transfer the pictures. You can also set it up to download straight into iPhoto without any problems. Windows the camera just pops up like any additional drive.

This camera is really a cool camera, and you can upgrade it with various add-on lenses. I highly recommend it if it does what you need.

Too bad it won't let me change the star rating. The camera was well taken care of, kept in a case, wrist strap always used, never left out for little hands to grab. Went on vacation and was in the process of putting the camera back into it's case when it dropped to the floor (maybe a 2 foot drop). Immediately the flash stopped working, even when it was raised I got the 'raise flash' error. It still took pictures, but you had to have perfect artificial lighting for the camera not to need the flash to focus. I kept it throughout the summer and sent it off to the repair facility. For all purposes of this review, I will skip 99% of this story. Just make a mental note that if you crap from Canon breaks and it 'might not' be under warranty DON'T WASTE YOUR TIME WITH THE SERVICE CENTER. They are by far the worst customer service center I've ever had to deal with. After keeping my camera for a month, (and failing to email me status updates, as they had promised) I find out the camera is being shipped back to me because it's 'beyond economical repair'. For a camera that was as well taken care of as this one was, and dropped ONCE, 5 months old and cost a few hundred dollars. It should be a little more durable than that. I went from a 'buy nothing BUT canon' to a 'never buy Canon (or allow my family to buy) canon ever again.' It's pitiful that one customer service department cost this company hundreds or even thousands of dollars worth of business from screwing over my family alone. We will be upgrading to Nikon and participating in the extended and accidental warranties. Surprisingly all of the photographers I personally know recommend Nikon anyway. Now why didn't I just listen to them in the first place?

^ EDIT ^

I put a lot of work into picking out this camera. I wanted a better quality camera for a great price. The more professional cameras started at $400 it seemed, so I stuck with the bargains. I had the Powershot A630 with a flip out screen previously. My daughter found it on my desk and started to play with it, dropped it and the shutter broke and the auto focus seems to be off too. (For Christmas she got her own durable kid's camera, lesson learned!) So the first brand I started reading about was Canon Powershot. I saw an ad for this camera by chance while browsing another Powershot and immediately I loved it. It looked like a great balance between the SLR's and the pocket cameras. It's exactly what I wanted.

Pros: Very large LCD screen, large viewing range, 9MP, Great auto focus and a great pop up flash. It's a 'meaty' camera. It makes me feel like it's durable-although I'm not going to let my 3 year old test that theory.

It takes AA batteries. I guess that could be a pro or a con, depending on your preference. I prefer AA's because if I get in a bind I can just run into any store and pick up some cheap batteries to last a few hours.

Cons: No eye hole (sorry, don't know the correct term for that thing!). It's a little slow recovering from a busy picture. If there is a lot going on in the background it takes a few seconds to write the picture and be ready for another one. It's also large for a pocket camera. That doesn't bother me, but if you're looking for an Elph size, this isn't for you.

I bought this camera a little over a year ago and have really loved it for all it is. It is a wonderful camera you can take pictures in just about any lighting. I use to take all the photo's in auto mode or one of the set modes and it did alright and recently have gotten really serious into photography and have used the manual mode all the time now and it works beautifully. Much better than the auto mode.

ISO makes the picture a bit noisey above 400 ISO's
The processor is decent for the camera that it is which is a very begininger digital SLR i was told is a super zoom
The zoom is really awesome it is nice to be able to have the range that the lens does.
The image stabalizer is awesome I wouldn't be able to take a great picture hand held without the image stabalizer

If you are just getting into photography I would definately look at this camera but would also look at a real digital SLR that you can change out the lens for expansion.

The only con I have fount in the year of having it is the lcd screen when i try and take pictures with the lcd screen instead of the view finder the sensor inside is broken so the image is upside down but i like using the view finder whenever i am taking the picture anyway it isn't that much of a big deal for me

Fits perfect. The original did not have a cord - so we lost it, This one has cord
No logo - one can tell its generic
Took a while to get it. Tracking info was not useful

I purchased this lens cap for my wife after she dropped the original cap for her Canon Powershot SX20IS in a pond while on a nature photoshoot. Good riddance to that! She put the new cap on her camera, tied the string leash to it, and said,"Oh yes! It's perfect." Need I say more?

Bought this for my Panasonic TA1 Camcorder and fits perfect

Great quality, cam stays in snug and can keep round my neck

Very pleased, especially at £[]

Overall the camera is fine. Good features, good ease of use, all of that. My problem came within a few weeks of receiving the camera: The shutter does not always open all of the way which is extremely annoying. I have stopped using it altogether.

I bought the camera because I had owned a Powershot in the past that was great. I had taken it backpacking, rock climbing, kayaking, it had been submerged, traveled overseas and more. It only finally died while riding in a flatbed on some island and it came loose when I went flying through the air when we hit a bump. It was about 4 years old. So when I went to replace it I figured a new Powershot would be perfect. I was wrong.

This camera took great pictures and I have enjoyed using it, but after a little more than two years the CCD has failed and I get a white vertical line in all my pictures, Repairing costs are about 85% of a new SX10 IS camera. This is the second canon camera I have bought that has exhibited this problem (I had a Powershot A95). I will look around at other brands because canon has dissapointed me.

I typically shoot a Nikon D50 SLR, but for my recent trip to Hawaii I bought this camera so I wouldn't have to lug around any lenses. No camera bags or the like at Pearl Harbor so it's a pain to lug around extra lenses for the SLR but you want to have a nice long lens at the same time since Pearl Harbor really is an all-day visit. This camera solves the problem and then some. This allows for manual settings, as well as aperature and shutter priority that are typically only on SLR's. I was a bit skeptical if I would really like this camera since I'm used to SLR's - I love it! Simply stated, my shots were fantastic! I couldn't have done any better with my SLR (and this maybe did a better job than that - yikes). The resolution is astounding - I got such tight shots at the Pro Bowl with it too and I was no more than 10 rows from the top of Aloha Stadium. People can't believe I actually got the shots I did with this camera - I almost can't even believe it! My 52mm UV filter from my Nikon fit this nicely, but my 52mm circular polarizer (made by the same company as the UV filter) did not. It didn't matter - I got such beautiful shades of blue in the sky and water without it, though sometimes it is nice to have the creative control that the filter offers. At the Pacific Aviation Museum I was able to shoot crisp, clear photos indoors without using the flash or a tripod when I put it on the Tungsten setting - outstanding results that exactly captured the Museum's lighting.

I still prefer my SLR for more formal portraits and macro work, but for nearly every other type of photo the SX10 IS will likely be the one I reach for first. I'm recommending it to everyone I know who's looking for a camera that's more advanced than a typical point and shoot, but who doesn't want to get into the SLR realm. An enthusiastic 5 stars and kudos to Canon! Well done!

My suggestions for making the most out of this camera:
- The rechargeable batteries promoted by the bunny with his drum work very well with this and last a good long time, even with moderate to heavy use. I have the 15 minute recharger that has a car adapter too, which is handy for people like me who travel a lot. Consider a second set of rechargeables to have ready at any time or at the very least keep 4 AA batteries on hand as a back up. Overall, don't go on the budget plan for your rechargeable batteries for this great camera - you'll get what you pay for.
- If you want to keep your charger with your camera then don't buy a bag online - they probably won't have the capacity to hold both the camera and the charger unit. Go to a local retailer and pick one up there.
- Get a 52mm UV filter, blower brush, lens cloth and cap keeper while you're at it. They should total no more than $25 and are well worth the small investment.
- Consider picking up the laminated cheat sheet that an Amazon retailer offers. I found it by typing the camera's name under the "books" menu. It's about $15 with the shipping, but less cumbersome than the manual. If nothing else it helps you locate where in the manual to look for some of the more advanced settings.

This is one of the most feature packed little cameras I've used. The first hint is the nearly 300 page manual. It really requires reading at least twice, with camera in hand, to get a grasp on which functions are ones you will use and which ones are of lesser interest for your style of shooting. From focus bracketing to overlap assisted panoramic mode to in camera image editing, the SX10 IS will amaze you with its capabilities. If you aren't interested in spending some real time to learn what this camera can do for you, buy a simpler camera with a fully automated mode and save your money. This camera is geared toward the person that uses a camera frequently and can remember how to access its many helpful features. Of course, it has a fully auto mode if you want to hand it to a person to snap away for you, without having to know what every button does.

Next comes the most important reason for buying any camera - image quality. Again, this camera can hold its own. This is a very small sensor camera. There is not a camera on the market with this size sensor that is going to produce high ISO, low light images that amaze you with beautiful, highly enlarged images. You've got to step way up in size and money for that kind of shooting. Otherwise, the SX10 IS will really surprise you. I'm astounded by the great images I can get up to ISO 400. Even ISO 800 shots are more than acceptable in decent lighting situations.

Combined with a Canon 580EX II, you can get some fantastic flash photography. Admittedly, this is a huge flash for such a small camera, but I already had one so I use it. You don't give up the best features of the flash with this camera. Many cheaper cameras won't use many of the features of the high end flashes. Not so with this combination. Things like high speed sync that allow very short shutter speeds are supported.

And of course, there is the main reason most people will even consider a camera in this league, the ultra long focal range. Combined with the easy portability of this camera, the lens makes this a great camera for doing it all. You can really stretch out there with a 35mm equivalency of 560mm focal length. The camera's IS feature allows you to hand hold the camera and still get good shots at this focal length in good lighting. The 28mm short end of the lens is quite good too.

As you can probably tell, after several weeks of using the SX10 IS, I am excited over this camera. To say it has replaced my Canon DSLR for casual shooting is an understatement. It has become my preferred camera in situations I never dreamed it would be used. If I don't need extremely short depth of field or very high ISO, super low noise images, this is the camera I pick up. It comes as close to a "do everything" camera as I have found.

The battery life is too short. If you forget to take the batteries out of the camera when you are not using it they seem to deplete quicker.

It was my first ever camera. I have had it for a long time now.....and have used many a camera since then, better ones, bigger ones for my shoots but I still carry this one around on holidays, trips and parties... it has the perfect balance of size,clarity,10x zoom with 9 mp, face detection and the manual controls. one word-it's awesome, especially for beginners in photography. very simple to use and gives great pictures. And though the battery life ain't that great,it suffices. So, if you cannot afford those fancy dslr thingies, have a small budget and still wish for the dslr effect in your photos, opt for the canon sx series, now that you have the 120 and 130is too. worth every dime.

I don't know why I've waited so long to review this camera, I guess it was after missing what must be the 100th "photo moment" that came and went because I got a "charge batteries" light and the camera shut off. When I first used it, I thought perhaps the batteries were faulty, so I tried two new ones, I don't think it lasted 20 minutes. Then I bought rechargeables, they were worse. Then I tried another makers rechargeable pack, same thing. I can't think of any other device I've ever used that eats batteries like this one does.
The camera works fine, great pics etcetera, but the best camera in the world isn't going to help you when it's batteries are dead. I would rate the Canon PowerShot A590IS as a POS.

Can an all-in-one camera do it all? No. Well, what do you expect from a camera that costs as much as a HD camcorder can. How is it as a camera? Upgrading from a Canon SD870IS (digital Elph), it is brilliant.

Pros:

High quality flash compared to Elph. Indoor shots are much nicer. The Elph would wash out the colors, whereas this camera provides pictures with nice color indoors.

Picture quality and zoom are far superior to small point and shoot cameras. There are some reviews claiming poor picture quality. I did not compare directly to the more expensive SLR cousins, but there are detailed reviews with image comparisons on sites like steves-[...]. They did not notice artifacts and other issues that people are claiming.

Parents, you will love the "sport" mode. There is no focus time when you are outdoors. If you see a shot you like, then you can just snap it right away. The pictures look great (as long as you have plenty of light). There is another mode where you can focus on a person and as the person moves it will track the focus of the individual. This mode is nice for following your busy child around too, but it's a bit tedious when there are multiple kids around and you have to tell the camera which face to track.

AA batteries: Get high quality rechargeable batteries and you will be satisfied (e.g. Sanyo Eneloop). No worrying about having to charge proprietary batteries.

Cons:

Video quality suffers indoors. The big problem is the video loses focus frequently when the lighting is not bright. Under conditions where a normal camcorder would be fine, the focus can fade in and out of the subject. I miss having an add-on light to increase lighting. I use a headlamp when indoors to compensate.

Outdoors, the video works much better. It won't replace an HD camcorder, but you can still get some nice clips.

Overall, the camera takes brilliant photos and the video is a nice option to have, especially outdoors where it is reliable.

I honestly think that this is the best digital non-SLR out there right now. For its sub-SLR size, and its price, you simply can't beat it. The features on this thing are just endless. I find myself using 'Manual' mode almost all the time. Once you get to know your way around this thing, tuning the different parameters becomes second nature. I bought this camera to use on a 2 week trip to Uganda. I didn't have a chance to work with it much before I left, so I had to learn by doing, but the learning curve isn't that bad.

I find it very easy to get exactly what I'm looking for in a shot. The manual focus is great, with the little focus box like a 35mm lens. I like the manual flip-up flash, too. It keeps it from firing when I don't want it too, and you don't have to try and remember what setting you had the flash on, you just have to look and see if it's up or down. I think that 9 megapixels is more than enough to work with, even when cropping. I have had a few problems with graininess above ISO 400. The continuous shooting mode isn't bad; I can 6 pics in 5 seconds if I'm using a fast shutter speed. I generally try and keep it in the 80-200 range and make up for it with shutter speed and focus range. The zoom is perfect. It's just enough to really get in close without getting too crazy. I don't see why you'd need the 20x zoom of the sx10. It just isn't necessary.

As far as battery life goes, it uses 2 AAs, so...it's easy and fast to just carry extras and replace them, but the battery life suffers with more than I'd like, especially if you zoom in and out a lot, or review your pics quite a bit. I wish it did have an optical viewfinder, which would save a little on juice, but I'm not sure where you'd put it, since the flash is smack in the middle of the camera. A second loophole for a neckstrap might have been nice, too.

Overall, though, I haven't seen another non-SLR camera out there that I like better. I really think that the image stabilization and the zoom combined with the amazing manual mode are the biggest strong points on this camera. I've never had a problem with an image being blurry because I was zoomed at the time. No camera is perfect, but this one really is top-notch. I spend my money very carefully, doing my research and waiting for a good deal, and I have in no way regretted choosing this camera.Canon Powershot SX110IS 9MP Digital Camera with 10x Optical Image Stabilized Zoom (Black)Canon Powershot SX110IS 9MP Digital Camera with 10x Optical Image Stabilized Zoom (Black)

I love my Canon SX10IS camera, but the lens cap it came with was awful. It was difficult to get it to stay on, and there was no easy, obvious way to secure it. It blew away one windy day. This one clips on securely, and has a string attachment to make sure it doesn't blow away.

Bought this for my SX10IS after the original cap would no longer stay on the lens. This cap has a much tighter grip on the lens than the original and includes a strap to tie it to the neck strap loop. Highly recommended.

Without the leash attached to the camera strap I can guarantee the average person will misplace the lens cap. Canon used to provide them and now does not. Create one yourself or buy this one- worth it!

ive seen a few negative comments about this sock and modifications that need to be done to stop the mettal carabina scratching the camera

simply turn it inside out, problem solved. convenient, simple carry case for your camera at a tiny price

I ordered two batteries. Charged them both, took pictures for a week and then one day neither one worked, camera would NOT turn on. I used my ac adapter and the camera worked fine. I tried charging the batteries and neither one would charge, amber charging light would come on for 5 seconds and then turned off (never turned green to indicate full charge).

I returned them and Amazon is giving me a full refund (Thank You Amazon).

I am perplexed by this. Camera is a canon G9.
