Отзывы о Цифровой Фотоаппарат Canon PowerShot SX160 IS

I have used the lower priced PowerShot Cameras for the last few years. Out of all of them, this was my least favorite in terms of capturing the quality of pictures I desired.

1) The image stabilization features are not explained clearly. No matter what setting I have it on, I don't see to get the stabilization I expect. Granted, this may be my fault but a better explanation in the manual would be appreciated.

2) The lens converter that I have (that was recommended) is not listed in the camera software - choice-wise. That to me is a bit confusing. LA-DC58G was the converter bought.

3) The image quality is not exceptional. At the highest quality setting, I usually end up boosting the quality through a separate image editing program.

I really love Canon cameras. I just thought that this camera would elevate my picture taking experience a bit further. I think it might be time now to explore the "G" series or higher end PowerShots in general.

I have been watching this camera for a few weeks and finally decided to purchase it. I'm not a power user yet, although I plan on getting to learn on how to use all of its functionality. I have only had it for a few days but so far I'm very impressed.

Pros:
1. Fantastic zoom
2. Great image stabilization
3. Auto mode works well
4. Lots of scene features (fireworks, sunset, etc.)
5. Very impressed with the stereo sound when recording video.
6. I like that you can mute the camera..good for taking pictures of birds or other animals that may get scared by the camera's "natural" noises.

Cons:
1. Although the video recording lets you zoom in and out, I found that once I uploaded it to my PC the outcome of the video was very "jumpy". I will try again with less zooming.
2. The instructions, although clear, go on forever. Thus I purchased the "Canon Powershot SX10 IS CheatSheet" from Amazon. I'm happily waiting for it to help me start using the cool features faster than if I read through the entire manual.

I did do my research via Cameralabs.com where they have live video showing you how the camera works.

Overall...5 stars!! I'm excited to take it on a trip to the Grand Canyon in a few weeks.

This camera is my first venture into the world of digital photography, although I used to be an advanced amateur in the older film photography. I had all kinds of lenses and my own darkroom. Finally I could see the writing on the wall, however, and realized that I had to go digital. I am glad that I selected this camera. It has an amazing variety of settings, most of which I haven't learned yet. But that is no drawback at all, since it works so well in the "Auto" or "Easy" settings. So it is the best of both worlds: I can use it as a simple point and shoot, or I can gradually work into the complexities and all the capabilities that this little masterpiece boasts. So far, results have been very satisfactory, both for outdoor shooting and for indoor use, both with and without flash. I have experimented with the 10x zoom, which works great, thanks to the image stabilization. I tried a movie clip of my dog, and it is perfect. Currently my wife and I are house hunting, so I take the camera along and capture views of the houses inside and out so that we can remember which house is which. This is a great help in keeping them from all running together. I am definitely enjoying my SX110is very much. Now I do have one minor quibble: the camera comes with a 32 MB memory card--32 MB! That is hardly enough to even try the camera out. Come on, Canon--you can do better than that!

We purchased this camera after much research on Amazon and other sites. We previously had a Canon Powershot 530 that died after years of great service. We narrowed our choices down to the SX110 and the SX200 and decided on the SX110 because of price and overall it had slightly better reviews.
We have had the camera for about a month and are totally pleased with the pictures and the features. It is easy to use and all of the settings are intuitive, once you go through the manual.
The LCD screen is bright; we were concerned about not having a viewfinder but this has not been a problem. The face recognition feature is a great touch and works as described. We have been exceptionally pleased with the image quality.
It does a better than average job with red-eye reduction. The megazoom feature is flat-out amazing. We were able to take clear pictures at a ballgame with the 40X digital zoom feature without a tripod.
This camera has exceeded our expectations. This will be a great companion to our Nikon SLR. An excellent product.

I bought this camera when it first come out (for $199) to replace my older 4-year old Canon Powershot that used 4 AA batteries. The older model had a memory limit (for compact flash card) so I wanted trade up to something with more capacity to store videos and more high resolution photos. Since I was already familiar with the Canon buttons and menus, it was a short learning curve. This camera performed much better in low light compared to my father's Casio (his indoor and night shots turned out very grainy).

Since this model only uses 2 AA batteries, I find I do have to change them more often but I just keep extra rechargeable ones in the camera pouch. I like the lighter weight, the many features, and the available colors (yes, it's a Girl thing, I admit it!).

A note about recovery speed for taking photos: I found that this has to do more with the brand of the memory card I'm using. I missed a number of opportunities for some interesting shots on trip I may not be able to take again. I thought the batteries were running out of juice. However, swapping the batteries out with fresh ones didn't make a difference BUT changing out the SD card did! I was using three different brands -- don't get the cheapest ones unless the write speeds are decent.

I bought this camera based on the excellent(for the most part) reviews and price. So when i got home and opened it, it did not have the camera advanced operations/users guide manual in the box, it only had the basic/set up manual. So rather than wait for canon to mail me a users guide, I decided to print one at home and waste expensive printer ink. The manual recomends that you take some practice/test photos to find out which features you like and of course to see if the camera works like it should. So I put in a new set of batteries and I ended up taking about 10 pictures and the annoying low battery warning light came on. Ok, I thought just a bad pack of batteries. So I decided to try another unopened set of regular(alkaline) batteries, so after 15 photos this time, the low battery light came on again! I said: "thats it, Im returning this camera". I did not feel the need to try for strike 3, and I was not about to go out and spend atleast $15 for a rechargeable battery pack because the reason i bought this camera in the first place, was to save money. I have read many different camera reviews and some people complain about batteries dying at 60-70 pictures, try 15! The camera itself takes good pictures, has many good features, and is easy to use, so i wont't give it bad reveiw for anything else except the battery life...

I am very pleased with this camera stand. It is very sturdy and holds my camera level at any height I need it. Buy this with confidence because it is really nice with a great price

Canon Powershot SX10IS 10MP Digital Camera with 20x Wide Angle Optical Image Stabilized Zoom The best pricing was through Amazon from Crutchfield. The delviery was to be 3-5 business days and it arrived on the 6th, which meant I did not have the camera for a planned trip-poor planning on my part too. The camera replaces a Canon digital that suddenly broke and was too expensive to repair. I have had the camera for 3 weeks now, and I am happily impressed with the features and results. I am an amateur who likes to take close-range and distant photos but without the hassle of changing lenses. My old Pentax retired years ago. Surprisingly fun is the ability to take videos, almost like a cam corder. Also fun, is when the memory card can be put into the Panasonic TV slot and the photos make a slide show on a 50" plasma! I think this camera offers great flexibility and results for the amateur; with the need for more performance, but not the need to spend money on a camera or lenses that are rarely used. I am a "professional" complainer and critic so it is rare to report that I am recommending something.

Upgraded from an older point and shoot Canon. Really researched this camera. So far, I love it. I'm used to the Canon menus, so using this camera was an easy change. Daytime pic's are great. Night shots are challenging, but with a little experiimentation and a steady hand, I've taken some great pic's. And the video mode in HD is amazing. Some have said the playback is jerky, I have a newer laptop and decktop PC, and the video is playback is fine. Great camera!

Plenty of features in a compact design, a great camera for beginning and intermediate photographers. The camera isn't quite a shirt-pocket camera, but small enough to be easily carried.

The 2.5" LCD is bright and crisp. The only issue with the LCD is the 'noise' in low light conditions or when using the digital zoom. The noise is filtered out of the picture, but is still visible in the LCD.

The red-eye reduction feature is buried in the menu system, which makes it difficult to easily turn on or off, but the function can be assigned to the print button for one-touch access. The red-eye reduction feature works extremely well compared to older generation cameras. A lamp is used prior to exposure to reduce red-eye and any red-eye you may get is removed during processing.

The various shooting modes are great when used as intended. The action shot (high speed shutter) was available on older Canon models, but is missing on this model. I have yet to blur an action shot, but I've only taken action shots in bright sunlight. If you need a faster shutter in low light conditions, it can be manually adjusted in the Tv mode. Once again, plenty of features, and plenty of manual adjustments for the creative photographer.

If you intend on shooting 8MP photos, invest in a good SDHC Class 4 or better memory card. The SDHC cards have faster transfer rates than standard SD cards. The class rating on SDHC cards indicates the minimum write speed in MB/Sec. A class 4 SDHC card will write an 8MP photo to memory in slightly less than 1 second. A faster write means you're ready for the next shot sooner.

After much research, I settled on this camera because (1) I have owned 2 Canons that I have loved, and (2) I wanted a more powerful zoom than is available in most standard point-and-shoots. The zoom? Very cool. But I can't get past how grainy/noisy the photos are, especially when taken outdoors. I even had photos taken in ideal lighting conditions that had so much noise it was distracting (well, to me anyways). I finally took similar photos side by side with this camera and my 4+-year-old, 5MP Canon Powershot A95, figuring the side-by-side comparison would give me the answers I was looking for. I took photos with and without flash, in sunlight and shade, using auto, portrait, and landscape modes. The verdict was clear: "Old Reliable" was the winner. Sadly, I will be returning the SX110. Back to the drawing board in search of a new camera, once again. I am sorely disappointed.

This camera was a big purchase for me because I wanted something with more than the standardized 3x Optical Zoom of the vast majority of consumer digital cameras. I can easily say I am very satisfied, after more than a year of use.

This camera will seem bulky at first, especially compared to the sexier, slimmer models that are so popular, but after experiencing the zoom, picture quality, and all the functionality, there is no way to be disappointed. A lot of consumers want the camera that fits in your coin pocket, but there is only so much you can get with those cameras.

The SX100 has 8 megapixels, which is just as much as anyone will ever need unless you're looking to blow up your photos onto 5ft by 8ft canvases.

The user-controls are so easy to use, whether you're shooting in AUTO, or any of the more manual modes. For those who revel in photography, but are too poor to afford an SLR (and deal with the sheer size) will be very satisfied. You can adjust everything from flash-strength, white balance, shutter speed, aperture, to focal-length and color-filters. The scroll wheel which resembles that of an iPod makes changing settings on the camera fast and easy.

Flash recharge time is great to make for faster shooting, and most of all, the zoom (10x) gets you as close as you see with the naked eye. I love taking this camera to sporting events, vacations, the beach/river, snowboarding, really anywhere. But I highly recommend a case for this camera, as it doesn't fit in your pocket very easily, but I knew that when I was buying it.

I have to start by saying that it's the second Power Shot I've owned. the first one was A510 series, and I loved it, until I had dropped it once on the hard wood floor, and it broke. I bought A590 to replace it, and also loved, until...I had dropped it on the hard wood floor twice. It's still working, but the battery compartment won't close, so I have to keep it closed with my finger, while trying to take a picture. I love this camera, but I wish it was a little more sturdy.

This camera is absolutely the best camera I have ever owned and I have owned many. Only drawback is battery life but this camera is so versitle that it can be used by everyone from a novice to a professional. Love it, love it, love it.

Excellent image quality...optical image stabilizer works great! My second Canon camera (also have the S3IS) and they both take excellent pictures and are easy to use for the novice or intermediate photographer. Had a Sony compact camera in between...will never buy a Sony again...any motion by the shooter resulted in absolute blur. I've used my Canons on boats and the images are still crisp despite the motion. My future cameras will all be Canons!!!

I had purchased a Canon A1000 IS in the summer and found this to be a powerful, small camera. I used the Canon comparison to compare the A1000 and E-1 and found them to be the same camera except for cosmetic differences. I bought several E-1 cameras as Christmas gifts for women in my family. It is small, easy to use, has both an LCD viewer and a view finder so that the sun and other bright lights do not overwhelm the LCD viewer. A novice user can put it on Easy mode and do quite well, leaving only the composition of the photograph as a challenge. I set my wife's camera and that of her sister on Automatic. Frankly, Automatic is a little better in program selection and is just as easy to use as is Easy mode. For more challenging photographs, you can select Portrait, and other Scene modes so it is versatile. It is small enough that I can carry it in a jacket pocket and I used one at the Tulsa State Fair 2008 so I had a ready camera with good capability without carrying a lot of weight. Arthritis has helped me to decide on items of less weight and bulk. The photographs I took of KOTV Channel Six personnel using the Portrait Mode turned out excellent and yes, I worked them in Photoshop CS4 but I had good sizes to begin with. The image size is 10MP so it is adequate for most prints for those who would tend to buy this camera. It is pretty as well as functional and its availability in several colors lets you buy it for family members without young women thinking you got everyone the same thing. Overall, it is an excellent choice.

On the 2nd day of my 5 month long trip to Mexico my Canon Xti failed to function. I needed a camera! I am in a small town, a 9 hour bus ride from a city. The best camera I could find was a Canon Powershot A470. I bought it. Four days later I got the "lens error restart camera" message and got it repeatedly. So, I'll be without camera for the next four weeks. When I do get to the city the new camera I will be buying will not be a Canon. I begin to sympathize with the guy who gives negative reviews to all new Canon cameras, maybe he is performing a public service.Canon PowerShot A470 7.1MP Digital Camera with 3.4x Optical Zoom (Gray)]]Canon Digital Rebel XTi 10.1MP Digital SLR Camera (Black Body Only)

The power supply is needed for a fixed mount camera, which is what I had. The computer can then control the shutter and zoom without using up battery power. The product performed a designed an I have no complaints after about a month of use.

This camera suits my needs very well. Along with basic camera functions, I wanted something that worked with a macintosh. The pictures can be automatically uploaded to the computer using iPhoto and OS X. I have OS 10.3 and iPhoto 6. The software that came with the camera wanted OS 10.4 and above.

As for the camera itself, I found that it did not like the rechargeable batteries that I had. Thus, I had to order Canon rechargeable batteries. They work well. To give it credit, the manual clearly says that the camera works with alkaline batteries and Canon rechargeable batteries.

The SD memory card that came with the camera is too small for practical purposes. Be prepared to buy a larger card.

I have had the camera less than a month, so I am still learning about it. The default settings work well, but a little tweaking might make things better.

One thing that surprised me is the focusing method. This camera defaults to face detect. The camera must have had fun finding a face in my flowers.:)

The ability to view the pictures on a TV is nice.

This was my first ever digi cam. I bought it in June 2007. So its been more than 2 yrs now and I am having no issues with this Canon baby. I would surely recommend this cam to everyone.

All in all , it has been a fantastic camera for the last 2 yrs of my use and still going well.

Only issue I have found is when you shoot in night-mode , the images get blured and photo objects get mixed with each other.

I've had this camera for a little over six months. I've taken thousands of pictures and loved it. I'm getting into photography, I just needed something more hands on. Something that I can take control of. I didn't like how I was limited with what the camera thought was right for me. I do love the swivel LCD screen, it makes complicated angels much better to take pictures of. I carry this camera everywhere even though it is not that small. Since the camera had the swivel LCD screen, I wasn't worried that it would scratch while in my purse. I wish the lens cap attached to the camera. I've dropped it in the lake once, luckily it didn't go too far. I realize that most lens do not have the lens cap attached. Something to get used to.

I really love this camera. I was coming from a Cannon sure shot, little thing. It is biggger and heavier, but the pictures are AWESOME! I feel like a professional. The flash on it works nice, but I even purchased the hot shoe flash and wow... I just want to take pictures all of the time. The only thing is I don't know what to do with the lens cap. I wish it was on a string. One I take it off, I try to attach it on the neck strap, but it usually ends up in my pocket!! I have been very pleased with the camera. Features are awesome, too. I love the red eye reduction, and the options of cropping right from the camera (so now computer needed.)

Canon Powershot SX10IS 10MP Digital Camera with 20x Wide Angle Optical Image Stabilized Zoom

I have had this camera for about a month. I bought it to replace a Canon Elf that I had for five years, but a plastic piece broke rendering it useless (my fault). I did not want to pay $350 for a camera that served as a back-up to my digital SLR. The price was right on this Powershot; the features far surpass that on my old Elf; and it takes great photos that enlarge to at least 8x10 with no noticeable difference in quality when compared to an 8x10 from my SLR (also a Canon). Photos taken using the digital zoom are noticeably of lower quality, but useful for photos going into the photo album. All in all its a great camera to have as a back-up when the bigger camera is not convenient or not needed, and as a main camera for those who just like to get great shots of vacations and family events. Note that it uses regular batteries and not a battery pack (keep extra batteries on hand; convenient for travel when outlets are not easy to find) and it uses the SD card instead of the CompactFlash used by the larger Canons.

I am a long time owner of Canon SLRs, but I have to admit that I am not impressed with their Powershot "A" line. I have had a number of models, three of which I had lens cover problems with (they do not fully open). I've ruined a lot of pictures with this problem. Canon could seem not to care less. I also find that I hate having to flip a switch to go into review mode, as the lens retracts. That's completely lame. I have also found the menus to be non-intuitive, especially around picture management (delete, etc). All in all, despite the raves about picture quality, I think this is an inferior product from a human factors and build quality standpoint. I would not recommend it, nor will I buy another Canon A series camera.
