Отзывы о Цифровой Фотоаппарат Canon PowerShot SX160 IS

For the money, this is a decent little camera.
Style and color is great. Am very happy/satisfied
with this product. MC

After going through so many batteries of all types (alkylyne, lithium, etc.) this power cord is a life saver. A budget saver too. The price a far less than if it had Canon's name on it and does the same job. I'm happy to have made the purchase.

Canon should be ashamed of the (lack) of quality with this product. I have already had to send the Powershot 10IS back twice. When it came back the second time with a problem in the zoom lens getting hung up, I wrote to Canon directly. They sent me the newer version of this camera the 20IS. I haven't had it but two weeks and already it is doing some of the same things, zoom lens getting hung up, quality of the picture is poor, and the focusing is hard to manage. I would not recommend this product at all!! Of course, they are not calling me back after the second go round. I will no longer be a Canon fan nor recommend Canon to anyone. I am semi-pro. I had a Panasonic Lumix that was a far cry better than this one.

I did a fair amount of homework before buying the Canon Power Shot A590 IS with face recognition technology and image stabilization. Although it received many good reviews, my experience with the camera was very disappointing. Thw first big surprise was that although this is labeled a point and shoot digital camera, it has many features that allow an experienced photographer to modify the settings and make custom modifications. I'm not an experienced photographer and was easily overwhelmed by the choices, especially since the instruction manual jumped right in discussing these things before it even explained the basics of how the camera worked. The book didn't get to the basics until page 40! I have 2 other digital cameras that I've used for several years so I am familiar with how many digital cameras are set up----not that this helped. This model Canon represents some significant design changes in digital cameras which I wasn't prepared for. To make things worse, the instruction manual in many cases was incomplete or inaccurate. I quickly became best friends with Canon's technical support department just to learn how to use the camera! Although the tech reps were pleasant and tried to be helpful, sometimes they didn't know the whole story either. I also had problems with the software that comes with the camera for downloading pictures to my computer and editing them. When I first installed it, it worked fine. Then everytime I used it something went wrong and I had to call tech support for assistance. The problem would get resolved only to reappear a few days later and the prior solution wouldn't work any more. Even the tech reps couldn't explain why While the camera worked OK most of the time, it didn't function correctly all of the time which was really frustrating. Also the picture quality was inconsistent. Some pictures came out good, others (taken the same way) were lousy. I had so many problems with both the camera and software, even though they were brand new, I came to the conclusion that maybe I got a defective model so I returned it. After everything the camera put me through, I didn't want to waste my time trying another one so I am looking for a different digital camera to replace my older ones. If you are considering buying this camera, I wish you luck. You'll need it!

Ordered this camera from Amazon just before Christmas '08. I've been using Kodak products for the past few years, but my last camera was too clunky and inconvenient to just grab for some quick pictures.

Image stabilization is really great, and with the manual ISO setting up to 1600, you can get really sharp pictures at a distance without using a flash - great for taking shots of the kids at school functions when they're a mile away on a stage.

The video quality is excellent as well, and at 30 fps rivals the quality of my digital video camcorder (also a Canon). Be sure to get a high capacity, high speed SD card as well. I purchased with the camera a SanDisk Extreme III Class 6 8GB card and have been impressed with its performance; with this card I can take over 2000 photos at the highest resolution setting and/or 68 minutes of video.

I also like the fact that the camera uses AA batteries instead of its own proprietary battery. I'm using Rayovac Hybrid rechargeables, and I've only had to change the batteries once in almost 6 months, and that includes a trip to Florida, plus Christmas and birthday pictures.

I spent a few years waiting & researching & asking others with Sonys, Nikons, etc., concerning digital cameras that would suit my needs, basic indoor, sports & wildlife in Yellowstone (all times of day & night). This camera has a lot of zoom, enough pixellation to enlarge pics w/o losing quality, and a movie mode. I had been using an old Sony camcord with a Sandisc card to snap photos & make movies, I wanted the same options with a digital camera. I can film movies and can snap stills at the same time.

Other advantages: it runs on 4 AA batteries that seem to last forever which means no battery pack (or expensive lithium batteries) to run low just as a herd of antelope shows up. Very easy to download pics into computer. It's not tiny but it isn't heavy or awkward. Only dowside, the lens cover is easy to lose (I tied a thread to it so it's now attached to the strap). Price is very reasonable. Took a few years but I feel I made the right choice.

Compared to other brands that offer much of the same (except Movie mode, which few seem to have) I'd recommend this Canon SX10.

Was searching for a camera with an extended zoom and the resolution in the range of 8-10 MP. Caught hold of Canon SX 100 IS, but it vanished from the market before I could purchase it. Wanted a medium size camera so could not settle for Nikon P80/Canon S5 IS, because of its large size. Ordered Canon SX110 on the launch date itself with apprehensions about its features..but believe me, I am not dissapointed AT ALL.
Great manual controls for Aperture and Shutter speed make it a camera for Pros, while the Auto mode is wonderful for learning photographers. The zoom is great and the image stabilisation that the camera offers at the maximum zoom level (Even at 10x optical and 4x digital i.e 40x combined zoom) is awesome. The photos in low light during my recent trip to a hill station were good in the Night mode with lots of saturation of natural colours.
Face detection is also a good feature with the camera able to detect faces very very easily (I don't know how does it work, but it really works :-))
The Digital Zoom, unlike others cameras I have used, does not distort the image to a very large extent, thanks to the high resolution and the safety zoom features. I can upload photos to depict this.(I don't know how to do this in Amazon :-))
The battery life seemed ok only , as I was able to shoot around 200 shots with my Sony NiMH(2500mAH) bateries with flash. But the batteries are brand new and should gain more strength with a couple of charge-discharge cycles. But a spare set of batteries is always helpful.
I had a Nikon 5600 prior to this so wanted a middle size camera with extended zoom and manual controls, and glad to find SX 110 fit all my needs.
A thing that is missing is a Sports mode, which is a feature to shoot fast moving objects. I had this in my Nikon 5600, but could not yet find it on my SX110. Possibly the Manual controls for Aperture and Shutters could make this up for me. Still in the learning phase :-)

I reluctantly bought this when my 2-year-old Canon Powershot S80 froze and would have cost $150 to repair. I liked the S80, but I'm thrilled with the SX100 IS, which cost only about 1/3 as much.

What I love: easy auto mode, good manual controls, decent (low-resolution) videos. 8.0 MP resolution, good image stabilization. After the 3x zoom of the S80, 10x zoom is a delight; I get many pix I couldn't have gotten with the S80.

Minor quibbles: the function wheel on the top of the camera is frequently rotated by taking the camera out of the case. So I have to check each time that I'm in the same mode I left it in; I have ended up with bad photos when I thought I was in Auto mode and turned out not to be.

The batteries can fall out when you open the battery door to change the sd card. But this doesn't bother me; it's intuitive to hold the camera upside down when opening the door on the bottom. In that position, the batteries stay put as they should.

Altogether, I find this camera a delight. Every time I use it I'm reminded how much I like it. When the time comes for a new camera, I will certainly buy one of the successor models (the very similar Canon Powershot SX110IS 9MP Digital Camera with 10x Optical Image Stabilized Zoom (Silver) or the 20x Canon Powershot SX10IS 10MP Digital Camera with 20x Wide Angle Optical Image Stabilized Zoom.

I've owned many cameras in my life. For my current needs of quick, good snapshots and occassional professional portraits and action shots, this camera is the best I've ever owned.

I am a historian and my main use for the camera is taking photographs of documents (mostly medieval manuscripts on parchment in lousy lighting without a flash) and building interiors (mostly churches with abysmal lighting without a flash). This camera has worked wonderfully for both of those - and, naturally, exteriors in daylight look fabulous, too. The image stabilization and the articulated LCD were huge selling points for me, since the former allows me to photograph documents without dragging a camera stand or tripod along with me, while the latter simplifies taking pictures at strange angles (which happens often). The built-in flash is tremendously powerful, as is the zoom, and I could not be happier with this camera! (Also great is the fact that it takes AA batteries - my research is all in Europe and those are always available, whereas special batteries make me nervous...between losing them, having the right adapters to plug in the charger, and forgetting to bring a spare, AA's are much simpler.)

Just a Quick point to make -I have 3 cameras for different uses, this is my party camera, but unfortunatley it takes too long to recover after it takes a picture using the flash REGARDLESS of the type/brand AA batteries I use.

So will have to hunt for a quicker recovering camera.

This camera may be 10MP, but my 5MP Nikon Coolpix 5000 and 5400 took sharper pictures. The body of this camera seems like flimsy plastic. Every flash picture I've taken has suffered from redeye. Worst of all, there are two very bright hot pixel groups which have appeared within two weeks of the camera's purchase. These are very prominent in the viewfinder, and are quite annoying. They show up in the final images too, but are less obvious. The only way to get rid of these is to send the camera to Canon, to have the hot pixels remapped. There is no way for the end user to do this himself with this camera. Also there is no RAW mode unless you run the CHDK hacker toolkit, which hasn't yet been ported to this camera. It seems to me that 10 megapixels exceeds the capability of the lens to deliver a sharp image. But since there is no RAW or TIFF mode support, there's no way to know for sure. It could just be JPEG compression noise on every freaking image, which I find disappointing.

On the positive side, the camera's face detection is excellent; the flesh tones are very real; the camera is very compact in size, and uses standard AA batteries. The preview LCD is large, and there is also an optical viewfinder with tracking zoom. The automatic lens cover works great. I'm sure there are worse cameras in this price range, but I really expected more from Canon.

Bottom line: if you want something cheap, get a used Nikon coolpix. If you really want a Canon, save your money and get a Powershot G10 for $350. That is a superior camera.

This is a great camera for outdoor shots, or very well-lit indoor shots, but if the flash is used indoors for any reason, it makes the picture look like we live in a dark cave - very fake lighting.

My other problem is that it eats through batteries like there's no tomorrow. About every 10 pictures or 1 video its demanding fresh batteries and it takes alot longer to get to where it can take a picture. Not great when I want to capture scrapbook-able moments with my 3 young'uns. I'm missing alot. In the grand scheme of things, I really dislike this camera. It has too many features I'll never use because I'm too busy being frustrated with the features I DO use.

These PowerShot "A" cameras are Canon's attempt to deliver the quality and features of its more expensive PowerShot "G" and PowerShot Pro "S" lines (such as full zoom lenses) at a budget price. The results are pretty good. (How do I know? Because I've actually gotten to use all of these cameras. I earn my living at Walt Disney World writing a travel guide, and nearly every day guests ask me to take photos of them with their own cameras, which most often are Canon PowerShots.)

Here's my opinion of the top-selling "A" series cameras:

7TH PLACE: Featuring Canon's acclaimed Digic III processor, the 2007-model A560 includes the company's face-detection metering system and a decent red-eye removal. It's a nice camera, but a better value is the new A470 (see below). $150 list.

6TH PLACE: The A570IS is the same camera as the A560 but with optical image stabilization and the ability to shoot manually. $200 list.

5TH PLACE: You can do a lot with the sweet little A630. It's a 2006 model, but has a flip-out LCD panel and lots of manual controls. The shots I've seen from this model look great. Keep your ISO under 800 and you won't get any noise. $350 list. (Canon offers a 2007 version of this camera that I haven't had much experience with yet, the A650 IS. It also lists for $350.)

4TH PLACE: The 2008-model A580 is an A590IS (see 1st Place, below) without image stabilization and with semi-automatic instead of manual controls. $150 list.

3RD PLACE: The fully-loaded A720 IS has all the toys, including a 6x zoom (35mm film equivalent of 35-210mm), image stabilization, adjustable flash power and optional second-curtain flash. This last feature means you can make the flash fire at the end of a long exposure, instead of the beginning, so moving subjects streak into focus instead of out. A 2007 model. $200 list.

2ND PLACE: The 2008 entry-level A470 (the camera on this page) is great for kids or anyone just looking for a good basic camera. But frankly, it's better than basic. It includes Canon's face detection technology and has a zoom lens, 14 shooting modes and the ability to set exposure compensation, ISO and white balance manually. Plus it looks great with the color inserts. Everyone with this little camera always seems to be having fun. $130 list.

1ST PLACE: The A590IS is the A580 (see 4th Place, above) with image stabilization and with the option of full manual controls. For an extra $30 those features are well worth it. I bought this model for myself. $180 list.

I had this camera for a couple of months and used it only a few times. It went through batteries so fast that I knew I couldn't take it on a trip and would have to purchase another camera. It takes nice photos but it's not a camera for travel.
I paid $235 at BuyDig so I advertised it for $197 on Amazon Market Place. It sold immediately!
I sent the camera to the buyer and after I sent it, he wanted to cancel and get his money back knowing it had to be sent within 2 days..
Fine I told him, as soon the camera is returned , I will credit you account. I had insured it for $200 and had a tracking number.
The Post Office says the camera was delivered, but Amazon favored the guy who got the camera for free because he put it in dispute with his credit card company. Therefore, I lost a camera, spent many hours sending proof from the Post Office and explaining the problem to Amazon. Post office wouldn't pay for a lost package as they say it was delivered. I was out $235 plus $13.50 in postage and insurance plus trips to the postoffice, telephone calls with Amazon, emails, etc...you get the picture!

Be very careful when selling your expensive cameras on Amazon.
I have since been told these people( crooks, thieves, con-artist) buy the Canons and Nikons under $200 on Market Place which are quick for them to sell. They get free products from us, take them out of the country to sell or at the weekly flea markets.

Beware!.

Good reliable camera, takes abuse and still works fine.
Flash is a bit weak.
Ease of use makes up for any short comings.
I am confident enough in its durability, I hand it to the kids to go shoot what they want with it. They come back with some pretty amazing photos of what they find interesting.
Would recomend it.

I bought this camera 2 months ago, I had another point and shoot Canon, powershot sd 1000, which I still like, but I was interested by the powerful zoom.
Overall, the camera is a bit of a disappointment, and I think I take better pictures with better contrast with the sd 1000, especially in low light situations.
you really need a tripod with the zoom at maximum power or with low light, or most of your pictures will be blurred, I should have spent a little more and bought a digital slr, but I will keep this camera, it is versatile enough, has a lot of features and is easier to carry around than a SLR with its different lenses.

After a lot of research and hands-on examinations, I have now purchased the Canon PowerShot A1000IS and am very happy with it. It is a great point and shoot camera that is fun for my family to use right out of the box with the "EASY" button setting. It has some more technical settings if one wants to tinker a little with their shots, but I bought it for my wife to carry in her small purse and take fast, high quality pictures without any fuss and this camera fits the bill. I have found Canon products and tech support to be superior over any other maker of consumer electronic products, especially including cameras and printers. The flash recharges faster with rechargeable Ni-MH batteries and they last longer. I bought a AA/AAA charger with 4 pre-charged AA batteries for only $10 and they work great, last forever. Also like the use of SD memory cards that are fairly cheap, readily available and work directly with my printer or through the included mini USB cable that I connect to my computer. I have owned a Canon 35mm SLR camera in the past and was always very happy with it, but cannot say the same about my prior Pentax, Nikon, Kodak or Sony camera purchases, both digital and non-digital. The Canon A1000IS is just a good all-around camera for general everyday use. It is small and compact, yet loaded with features and looks and feels like a more expensive camera. I really like the inverting LCD display, wide angle option and location of the zoom feature on the top shutter button insead on the back of the camera like most digitals. I will be buying a Canon again for sure.

I bought this camera in December of 2008 and it's been fantastic. I'm just wondering what happened to the price. I bought the camera for one hundred and thirteen dollars from Amazon, and now it's well over three hundred. Wow!

Anyhow, I have no complaints. The key is to use those AA Lithium 8x Energizer batteries. I got the twenty dollar underwater bag and shot 1500 pictures underwater without having to change the battery once.

I own two other Canon cameras, A Digital Rebel Xt DSLR with two zoom lenses and a Power Shot A720 IS. The DSLR is used for serious photography and the A720 for informal family pictures and things like fishing. As I am getting older I am finding that the DSLR outfit is getting harder to carry so I was looking for a lighter outfit when I did not want to carry it. At first I thought that getting auxiliary lenses for the A720 would do the job but found it too bulky and inconvenient. Then Canon came out with the SX 10 IS. I got the first one my local dealer got in. It is far more versatile than the A720 but only slightly larger. It covers the complete focal length range I need for almost all picture taking needs. The quality of the pictures is slightly better than the already very good A720 at most ranges. At the extreme telephoto end it loses some as expected. Of course it is not as good as the DSLR but how can one expect a camera that sells for under 400 dollars to be as good as one that was over 1000 dollars? I was able to get close to the DSLR quality with a little help from my Photoshop Elements.

The camera is light for what it does and very convenient. I like the variable angle viewing for odd angle shots as close to the ground and the electronic viewfinder for bright situations. The electronic viewfinder is best for telephoto use as you can hold the camera steadier. The image stabilizer works all the way out to the 560mm equivalent but I recommend taking several pictures just in case. I like the fact that I don't have to carry extension tubes for close ups. The camera has too many other useful features to mention here. I have used it for over a month now and feel I got more than my moneys worth.

The Canon SX10 is an outstanding camera sold at a fair price. The highly literate nature of some of the reviews gives a good clue as to who is buying it.

I am depriving it of one star because of one inept design decision - albeit one that the user easily can remedy.

As designed, the camera cannot take filters which would be a serious defect in a camera of this class. My guess is that some marketing person did not want the SX10 to compete with Canon's more expensive SLR's, a marketing strategy that has been tried, unsuccessfully, by other companies in the past.

The fix is easy. The SX10 comes with a sunshade that attaches to a fixture built onto the barrel. Lensmate sells a well-made ring which uses that fixture and which holds 58mm screw-in filters. Of course, while it is attached one cannot use the sunshade, but for about $7 one can buy a screw-in sunshade that works just as well and that can be used in conjunction with the filters.

My Powershot S2 IS 5MP w/12x Optical Image was fabulous. It was stolen and I was torn between compactness of SX110 IS or the power of the SX10 IS. The SX10 is even larger than the S2 IS and not something that could be slipped into a moderately sized purse. Face it, when traveling, you want the least amount of junk to lug around.

Every Canon I've owned produces superior photos with each generation. I prefer to point, shoot and produce Ansel Adams quality photos but I know that doesn't happen all that often. But the photos from my last trip were just astounding and I had had no time to experiment with the camera.

My only comment is that shooting in lower light conditions, the angle of the camera can really make a difference in the colors picked up by the sensors. Since it is a visual thing, you are in control of the outcome.

By far the most user friendly Canon I've owned.

I purchased a Canon TX1 and have it about a week now and I'm very happy with my purchase. It's not perfect, it does have some pretty sticky issues, most that I've been able to work around though.

The camera itself is a joy to use. Great menus, easy to use, even in manual mode, and my smaller hands don't make this the ergonomic nightmare that tech critics are panning the camera work. There are a few things that could be changed, the shutter button could be placed maybe someplace else (not really sure where though so maybe it is in the best spot) but I've gotten used to it and it take pictures pretty well with it. The auto focus speed isn't terrible as others have noted unless your at full max zoom (and at 10x I can forgive a bit of auto focus speed issues). The 16:9 aspect photos are very clear, I hear the professionals talk about excessive noise in low light and at high ISO, but I haven't seen it so far with mine, but I'm also not a trained photographer nor do I have a trained eye for that. It takes photos, they're clear and in focus, the colors are accurate, that's really all i can ask for. In indoor lighting it is a little more difficult to take good photos, but it is possible. Outdoors though there are no issues whatsoever, it's just a fun point and shoot 7 megapixel beauty that I'm glad I own now.

Video is another story though. At 1280x720 30fps, the video is good in bright conditions. In medium indoor lighting or less, the video becomes very very grainy. Not surprising maybe, but a little disappointing. It's obvious from the LCD that the video is going to be grainy, and on my HDTV or on the computer, it looks VHS like grainy, the quality just isn't there. The resolution might be there, but things although in focus, look like upscaled SDTV or worse. Outdoor video shooting is similar to the photo quality, everything works great. It looks great on the HDTV. But indoor video is very grainy unless you have very well lit conditions. At the price I guess you shouldn't expect a product to compete with HDV camcorders though. And HDV camcorders don't do 7 MP stills.

Some people have complained about the MJPEG format for video. With an 8 GB SDHC card, you get get 27 minutes of shooting time. And bigger SDHC cards will exist in the future. MJPEG may not be the most advanced codec like AVC is, but it certainly is still useable and great to edit movies with and older computers can watch MJPEG with little computing power. On my old Mac, the H.264 files I converted the MJPEG films from choke my computer at full resolution.

One big flaw I find is that in OS X, when you plug in the camera, it does not mount the SDHC card, but rather iPhoto or Image Capture just grabs the images and downloads them. But there's no way to reverse the process without a dedicated SDHC card reader. I believe that holds true for many Canon models though, not just the TX1. Again annoying, but there are work arounds.

Overall I'm still giddy about my purchase. I love the product. It would have been a 5 if it had better indoor / low light performance. Other than that, this is a great product, and hopefully will only get better with the next version (please Canon keep updating this product).

I am a Flight Attendant for a major USA carrier and travel alot internationally and domestic. It is small enough to stick inside my tote bag and travels very well in a front pocket should I need it on the go. Takes awesome pictures with just a click. I have not had any issues with this at all. I have also gotten so many compliments.

I bought this camera specifically to take close up pictures to upload onto my etsy shop. [...] if you want to see how well the pictures come out. They are awesome. The only problems I have so far is short battery life (I'm not sure if that's my fault for not turning the camera off??), and the pixels were actually too big for etsy. Reading the owner's manual showed me clearly how to change the pixels, and it even displays the pixels on the camera in case you forget what the symbol stands for. The pictures for my shop were taken with the flash off, and macro (flower icon) on.

It also takes nice crisp photos of the family, red eye doesn't seem to be much of a problem, and the images all look really good - even when I was just taking practice snapshots of my husband on the computer, kids giving me silly looks, etc.

My aunts, both artists and photographers, both have this camera as well and highly recommended it to me. One aunt pointed out how easy it is to use the buttons - they are well placed on the camera. Consumer reports also had good things to say about the Powershot.
