Отзывы о Цифровой Фотоаппарат Canon PowerShot SX160 IS

The camara itself is good but when I use normal unchargable AAA battery. The battery can just hold not more than 1 hr!!!! It is to waste for me to buy so many batterys!!

This camera makes great pictures and I have found it easy to use but after a little more than a year and a half the CCD has failed and I have a vertical line in all my pictures, Repair would be horribly expensive and should not be required for a well taken-care-of camera. I contacted their support by email and got the feeling they were not reading what I said.

I'm not sure how many people will still be in the market for one of these, but I can certainly vouch for its performance for an A590IS. I've now had one for coming up to 2 years, and it has yet to fail me. The camera fits perfectly (as you'd hope), the belt fastening is strong and unlikely to accidentally come loose, the battery/SD card compartment works fine, and it even has a hook that's in just the right place to attach my Spudz 6x6 Micro Fibre Lens Cloth without it getting in the way. If anyone still owns an old Canon A590IS without a case, I recommend getting this one.

Suggest you look at some of the other highly rated models. Do not pick this one if you can only get the version that uses AA batteries. We could not get through a single day of moderate use without going through 4 or even 6 new batteries. The camera works fine and the quality of the pictures is good. If you are just interested in something to shoot some pix with, there may be too many bells and whistles on this for you. I also have a Canon ELF and it has been fantastic. Very disappointed with this one.

Pretty good product for the practical purposes. I carry my Canon in a leather pouch and while sightseeing in this sock. Worked well. What more to ask ...

After owning an old Sony Cybershot for over 6 years, I thought it was time to upgrade to something with a few more bells & whistles. A high zoom camera seemed to fit the bill - I didn't have the time, nor inclination, to learn all the ins & outs of a true DSLR, but I wanted to have a few more options in a basic point & shoot with a good zoom for taking close up shots of my little guy. I did considerable research, and was impressed with all 300+ reviews for the Canon Powershot SX10IS on Amazon. I also read (& re-read) reviews from some well-respected digital photography websites, many of which gave this camera their highest ratings. After hemming & hawing for some time, I bit the bullet & eagerly awaited the fabulous pictures that this Canon would produce. I knew it was possible; I'd seen the examples on Amazon - all 500+.

The evening that my purchase arrived, I took my time, reviewing the manual (rare for me as I tend to do first, then read) & learning about my new camera. Then a test drive. Disappointment followed. Almost nothing I did - not putting the IS on continuous, not raising the ISO, not tweaking the aperture or the shutter speed, nothing short of using the flash - seemed to fully eliminate camera shake. But, I thought, it's nighttime & I'm indoors. Tomorrow I'll try again.

I awoke to a beautiful sun-washed morning, grabbed the camera, & started shooting pics of my 18 month old son playing in natural light. Same problems. I get it, taking indoor pictures means making some compromises. Either a little on the dark side or maybe a little more noise; things which can mostly be cleaned up by editing. But the quality of these pictures was horrible. The camera was constantly registering camera shake unless the flash was up - even in clear, beautiful, morning sun. Crushed.

I had some reasonable good luck when taking shots outside, but nothing that seemed to warrant the high praise written of this camera. My 6 year old Sony Cybershot, with only 4mp & 6x zoom, has given me reliably excellent photos even in the dimmest of light, something I would think this newer technology could easily provide. Not so. Color me disappointed.

I researched many camera before purchasing this one. i have owned it for a year now and love everything about it. It is a great camera for taking pictures especially when a 3 year in involved. I don't always have time to change lens on a dslr, but this camera fixes that problem. The video is equal to full screen dvd quality as long as you do not use the digital zoom. This camera was great on vacation, one camera did it all. Took pictures and video while hiking through the Disney parks, it was nice to only carry one piece of equipment. I did purchase the Lensmate filter adapter, which was about $20 and worth every penny. That was one complaint I had about the camera, now I have none. It is also a nice camera to hand to someone who is not camera savvy and set on auto and tell them to point and shoot. My cousin of 10 years old took the camera during a car show and got great shots. I am sure I will get a DSLR someday, but not sure I want to part with all the dollars to get one. This is a great camera for the dollar. I am actually looking at upgrading to the Powershot SX20 for HD video. The Manual controls are not the friendliest but with tripod they are doable. Would also suggest the Rezo 110Aw bag, it handles the camera nicely.

What I got looks nothing like the picture. I got a lens cap with a small hole in it and piece of string. No instructions. I supposed that I needed to thread the cheap piece of string through the hole in the cap and attach it somehow somewhere on the camera. It's functional, I suppose. But it looks terrible and I'll have to replace the string at some point. Yuck. Again: LOOKS NOTHING LIKE ADVERTISED. I recommend for this caliber of camera (mine is an SX20IS) going to a camera shop in town.

This sock doesnt securely contain your camera, only gravity holds it in so if you put it in a bag it can easily fall out.
Also the little carabina is just in the right place to damage the screen.

There are far better ways to protect your camera, don't bother with this one.

I bought it to take pictures of my granddaughter--who is always on the go and hard to get a picture of. Works great!!

Had to borrow a friends camera as a back up for a gig I did - needed some spare batteries, I ended up buying these based on price and previous Lenmar experience.
They seemed to charge well and held charge well enough for what I used it for, however one of the batteries I got would not fit in the slot like it should - it would not engage the "lock" that holds the battery in place, you had to keep your finger on the battery while shutting the compartment lid. Once in it worked fine. Go figure.
Other than that little glitch it seems like good batteries, considering I paid 7.50 for each I don't think I'll complain - its a bargain for canon compatible batteries (I've paid upward 50 bucks for my regular camera batteries).

I was looking for an upgrade to my previous camera, the Canon Powershot A75, which had served me extremely well over 4 years. I purchased an Olympus camera, which despite its high price, I found in my opinion terrible in comparison to my old Canon.

As the camera was for our honeymoon, I decided to buy another camera. Unfortunately I purchased the Olympus online at a store that does not offer refunds or exchange on poor choice. Expensive lesson learned there.

I purchased the Canon SX110IS from a bricks and mortar store with refund/exchange policy, for peace of mind. Just days before I had recommended friends buy a Canon, and they bought this camera, and when I saw their shots, I knew this was the camera for me.

Straight away I felt so relieved and happy that I had purchased another Canon. Beautiful shots even on Auto and Easy modes, with lots of other modes and settings to play around with if you wish.

The most important thing about a camera to me is that it takes great pictures on Auto - as I dont like to spend much time playing around, I just like to have fun snapping.

The canon has the same size LCD as the Olympus, but the quality of the pixels is MUCH better, and clearer.

Image Stabiliser is excellent, (it stabilises the LENS, not the camera body like other cameras),sometimes my hands get shaky with some pictures, but they still come out absolutely beautifully.

The colour is amazing, pictures are crisp and sharp, even in low light. I took pictures in a completely dark room and they came out great. I don't mind waiting for the flash to recharge,it does not let you take pictures till it is recharged. In the Olympus I erroneously bought, you had no idea whether the flash was charged or still charging, so you could make the mistake of taking shots too quickly in low light.

The camera body feels very sturdy in your hands and you can easily grip it, your hand can wrap around where you see the silver bit, near the words PowerShot SX110. This is in contrast to slimline cameras that probably look prettier this camera. I'd rather have sturdy, especially with such a big lens and zoom. I was, however, surprised when I saw the camera "in the flesh" it is a lot smaller than I imagined.

Don't worry about lifting the flash (Where canon is written), it's not a bother at all, and the camera (at least in Auto and Easy mode) suggests you lift the flash when it deems it appropriate. If you lift it and have the flash on auto, it wont fire unless required. I just lift the flash whenever I take pictures, but it will only fire when needed.

Canon have improved their picture program for the computer too, but some people may not think the program gives you enough to play around with and may seek other programs.

One thing that i think would be neat would be the ability to change pictures to black and white or sepia on the camera. That is about the only thing that Olympus did that the Canon didn't do thousands of times better.

Overall, I think the camera's brilliant. I will never buy anything but Canon again.

I bought this camera from Amazon in August of 2009. A few weeks later, Canon released the newer version (SX20), so I still had the option of keeping the SX10 or returning it to Amazon for the SX20. After researching the SX20, I decided to keep the SX10, and I'm glad I did. The main reason is that most of the "experts" out there who tested both cameras claim that the SX10 has slightly better image quality, and that was important to me. I know that the SX10 has a "Super Fine" image quality setting, while the newer SX20 can only go as high as a "Fine" setting. The SX10 comes with a full printed manual, while the SX20 does not, and the SX10 has a voice recording option, something they left off the new SX20.

Before I purchased the SX10, I was searching for a digital camera that had a lot of zoom, took decent photos, and shot good quality video with excellent sound. Well, this camera has lots of zoom (20X), good for taking shots of wildlife. The video is very good, and the stereo sound is far, far better than my older point and shoot camera. No need for me to buy a separate camcorder. The photo image quality is OK, but not spectacular. Some photos have "noise", but I keep reminding myself that this is NOT a thousand dollar SLR camera, so I don't expect perfection.

For those people who are not camera geeks, this camera will serve you well in Auto setting, but I advise everyone to read the instruction manual and play around with the many manual settings, as there are lots of fun things you will discover, and you will be able to take better photos as well.

Like many other reviewers I did not get the item pictured. Didn't get what other folks described (with adhesive pads) either. What I got was the lens cap with a string that I could tie myself to the cap and camera. I was never good at knots when I was a Boy Scout! Cheesy but the price of the item was not worth returning.

The cap itself seems like pretty high quality so I took the leash off of one of my old camera's lens caps and used it on this one.

I'll be the first to admit that I'm not a seasoned photographer, but that's exactly why I invested in an entry level camera like this one. It seemed to take some great pictures around my neighborhood and on the beach where I first tried it, but when on my trip to the Middle East it disappointed me. Maybe it was because I was mainly taking city shots with lots of people moving around. Either way, I lugged the thing around for days on end for a batch of pictures that my average point and shoot camera could have come up with.

after a lot of research i bought this instead of a entry level SLR and on the whole am very impressed. within minutes I had taken some amazing photos with ease. the zoom and super macro are both very impressive and the continuous shooting mode is great for capturing action of my 3 year old daughter! there are loads of clever features that I am still exploring such as colour enchance (you can pick out any colour in view and the camera highlights that within the photo). HD video is great and easy to use plus you can use most of the other features whilst recording.

Things that are a littel annoying are:
1. The lens cap is a bit fiddly and can take a while to get on. it also has no holes in it to attatch it to anything.
2. The dedicated HD record button is great but you have to really stretch your thumb to get to it; meaning when you stop recording there is often a jerk of the camera where you have reached across to stop it!
3. The manual controls seem a bit limited (alhtough I am no expert and am still experimenting).

I was a long time user of the Canon EOS SLR's and I loved them. I say that only because readers should know I am an experienced photographer. I make this review after using this camera for about six months. I've had plenty of time to put it through its paces in various situations.

First let me say that I'm not comparing the SX10IS to an SLR but rather to my Panasonic DMC FZ20 with 12X zoom Lieca lens. The Panasonic is an excellent camera, by the way and I recommend it highly.

The Canon SX10IS camera has been a big disappointment. It was purchased mainly for wildlife photography. The 20X zoom works fine, but its bad points far outweigh the one good feature this camera has.

1. First the lens. The images are soft, not as sharp and crisp as the ones from the Panasonic. This could also be the auto focusing mechanism. Near, far, where ever the subjects are, the focus is soft.

2. Camera design is poor. Buttons cover every available surface of the camera's body. My small hands just cannot hold the camera without pushing one of the numerous buttons that cover the camera's surface.

3. I wish they had not attempted to cram every conceivable feature into this camera. More is not always better. The menu is a nightmare to navigate. No changing settings quickly to capture a bird in flight. Thankfully they left out the wash and spin dry feature but that is the only thing missing.

4. The optical viewfinder, which you need to use when shooting wildlife (especially if you are a former SLR user or if you wear glasses), is very poor. The view is fuzzy and the viewfinder is very small.

5. The camera body is cheaply made. Handle it very carefully. For example the door to the memory card is hinged with cheap material that will easily break with much opening or a slip of your fingers.

6. When holding the focus at 20X waiting for a subject to turn just the right way the camera makes a chugging sound and the image jumps. That can't be good.

These are my main complaints about this camera. Some advice: Don't just order this product online. Hold one in your hands, do some trial shots. Try to use it as you would in your everyday photography before you purchase it. Look at other camera models and compare before you buy.

Updated: The camera died just a little over a year after I purchased it. This is the last Canon I will own. I'm sticking to my Panasonics and have ordered the Lumix DMC-FZ40 Digital Camera to replace the disappointing Canon.

great product especially for the money, i have bought 2 one for my ixus 130 and one for my daughters ixus 85 one small comment could be the the carabina type clip on the sock could cause some damage if you are careless when putting the camera back in the sock

This is a sweet little camera. So many excellent features for a small, priced right camera. I bought it for a vacation trip since I didn't want to lug my heavier, complicated Nikon D80. I wanted a simple no brain point and shoot. The SX10IS is everything and more. I took well over 2500 images with good results and really no problems. From the plane looking down into the Rocky Mtns, to a moving Amtrak train, to a sailing ship, 99% of images were usable with the exception of a few operator errors...read.... I need a head for that body.... I was able to take photo still shots while filming and so much more, I was able to slowly zoom in while filming. Did I mention the Macro and super Macro yet?? The camera is very easy to operate, I didn't really need to read the manual, just kept figuring it out through the controls no complications there. Are the photos as clear as the Nikons? Possibly not, but the price difference is large and the fact that one lense will do just about everything far outweigh those factors. The biggest problem is learning the software program for the computer, which I think I may have to uninstall and reload, other than that I absolutely love this camera and I think it will remain a Canon classic for years to come.

I lost the original cap that came with the camera the first week I owned it. The original cap is worthless and did not have a strap. I could not find a replacement cap in any of the big box stores, so I came to Amazon and took a chance.

The replacement cap I got works great and it has a strap that holds the cap to the camera. The cap is held to the string by a little sticky pad, which I wasn't sure if it would hold, but it has done the job so far and I have been very active with our new camera and taken it on over 50 miles worth of hiking trips in the past couple of months without losing it.

The shipping was quick and no issues. I will order another one if I ever lose this one. The price was right.

This camera is a gift for my wife who does not want a complicated camera. However, it has the three features she needs: Image stabilization, lots of pixels (8Mpix) and lots of zoom (10:1 optical). It also has many features only found in higher level devices, most of which my wife will never use. The "auto" setting covers her needs. This unit (used) came without memory card or batteries, but that was easy to fill in. All is working well.

When used outside in good light (or extremely bright indoor light, such as next to a window) it is an outstanding camera. It can take high-quality shots of stills, portraits, and action shots. The zoom is very effective at distance, and the settings can go from fully automatic to completely manual. In the right light this camera can get professional-quality shots.

However, indoors this camera is no better than a typical point and shoot camera that would fit in your pocket. The flash is weak (even at the highest setting), and pictures without flash are almost impossible. ISO greater than 200 is pointless as photos will be overcome by noise. If all you plan to do is have people hold still while you take a picture from less than seven feet, then you'll be fine. If you are trying to get action shots indoors, forget about it.

This camera will gobble batteries faster than a pig runs to slops. You'll be lucky to get fifty pictures out of a new set of alkaline batteries. However, if you get a good set of rechargable batteries, you'll be overwhelmingly and pleasantly surprised by how many pictures you can get: hundreds. Go figure. I have four rechargable batteries. I use two at a time, and can easily take 500 pictures before having to recharge.

The flash is very slow to recycle, so again, indoor shots with this camera are slow and annoying.

The camera is very reasonably priced. I paid two Benjamins for it new and have taken a couple thousand photos already. The colors are brilliant and popping, but realistic. Like I said, with good light, you can't go wrong with this camera. I mostly use the TV setting. I set my shutter speed at about 250-360 and then I don't miss a single action shot. It's fast, reliable, and fun. This camera can get you results that look professional.

The camera is bulky. If you carry a large purse, you'll be fine with it, or if you use a backpack/briefcase. But if you're expecting to slip this into your shirt pocket or jeans pocket, forgetabboutit. It won't fit. It will only fit in a very loose pants pocket, and even then it's annoying. You could put it in a case and attach it to your belt, which works great, but ruins the style factor. This camera looks like an old 1980s film camera (although it performs like a dynamite digital). You won't win any style points with this camera.

If you are going to have to lug something around and want the best quality you can afford, look at the Rebel XS, the best priced digital DSLR on the market. But if you only have two hundred bucks, and can't go another three hundred, then get this SX110is. It's a great camera and I don't regret the purchase for a minute.

Updated - March 9th 2009

This camera is good overall, giving more features than the average point-and-shoot camera.

Pros:

+10x Optical Zoom
+Great Macro quality
+Good Flash
+Large LCD Screen
+Lots of manual control usually not found on many P&S cameras. This camera allows for Aperture Priority, Shutter Speed Priority, Custom ISO settings, Manual Focus, or complete manual control over all of these features.
+Good build quality
+Image Stabilizer (definitely helps when using the optical zoom)
+Standard Mini-USB port
+Backup battery for clock and settings (so you don't have to reset the clock when replacing the batteries or the SD Card which is located next to the batteries)
+ SD/SDHC card slot
+Face recognition (which is easy to quickly turn on or off with the press of one button)
+Runs off two AAs. Both a good and a bad thing, although mostly good since you can change batteries when in the field or find extras at a local shop.
+Direct-Print to printer with a USB cable (I've never used this, but could be useful and convenient for some)

Cons:

-Okay battery life. Battery can be used quickly when using the flash a lot or using optical zoom often. Setting the LCD brightness down can help. I bought High-Capacity rechargeable AA batteries and these helped a lot. I wouldn't recommend cheap AAs though. It's worth investing money in good rechargeable batteries.
-No optical viewfinder
-Optical zoom can't be used with recording video (once started.) You can zoom in then start recording, but not while its going.
-Grainy at high ISO speeds (although this is typical of P&S cameras.) Anything up to 400 looks nice, but it's noticeable at 800 and 1600 and 3200 aren't usable at if you care about quality.
-Not very compact and a little heavy. While this is fine for me (I like the form factor) this camera may not be for someone who wants a thin light-weight camera.

While I'm just an amateur photographer, this camera is definitely is worth its money for its impressive picture quality, optical zoom, and features. While the graininess at higher ISO settings is sometimes noticeable, this is common for point-and-shoot cameras. Some may ask why bother with this camera if you can get a 10+ or so Megapixel camera for about the same price or cheaper, it's simple... the SX110 IS takes great pictures, has 10x optical (which is very important in comparison to digital) zoom, and provides many features not found in most point-and-shoot cameras. Megapixels are not benchmark of the quality of the pictures, but rather the size (resolution.) If you want an advanced nice P&S with extra features, but don't want to buy an SLR, then this might be the camera for you. If you plan on getting serious and want to take action shots that require higher ISO settings, consider an entry level SLR such as the Nikon D40. The D40 is around $450.

I have been using this camera for over two years. Excellent camera for the price. It takes great pictures.This camera was recommended to me by a photographer.
