Отзывы о Цифровой Фотоаппарат Canon PowerShot SX160 IS

I purchased the PowerShot SX1 IS for my daughter to use in her college classroom. She instructs at Ball State and likes to record short movies to share with her students. Her students are learning English as a second language. This camera is compact and with the 16 gig card can store tons of material. I also purchased two sets of rechargeable AA batteries. She will probably post lots of the movies on YouTube to share.

I received this camera as a gift in 2007. Like other reviewers, I experienced a lens opening failure. The lens cap would not open all the way. It cost $120 and about 6 weeks to get repaired. I got it back and the USB connection is dead. I have to use an external card reader to retrieve photos.

I owned a Powershot A70 for years and when I was in the market for a new camera, I thought I would try the Kodak EasyShare M863. I had tons of problems with that camera- flash wasn't working right, (it had to be sent in for warranty repair twice), images were blurry/not crisp and I could not see the LCD screen in bright sunlight (no viewfinder). After so many problems I saw that Amazon had a good deal and good reviews on this Canon camera. I have been using it for a few months now and so far I love it. The picture quality is excellent (so much better than the Kodak), I love that is has a viewfinder in addition to the LCD screen and I love that it is easier to hold and take a steady picture with one hand (the slim cameras are very difficult to hold steady). Another nice feature is that in "playback" mode, you can view what settings you had the camera in when you took the picture which is helpful when playing with the different settings to see what achieves the best picture.

My only complaint like everyone states is that it really uses the batteries. The batteries that came with the camera seemed to last a while but once those ran out and I switched to my rechargeables, it seems like I have to replace the batteries after every picture session. I always keep extra charged batteries with me but I don't remember going through them so quickly with the A70. Overall though I am willing to sacrifice a low battery life with high quality, easy to take pictures.

The latest offering from canon- Canon Powershot SX110IS 9MP Digital Camera with 10x Optical Image Stabilized Zoom (Black) is great for the money you spent on it. I have been using this camera for the past 2 months and its just marvelous! It has an easy mode which makes it seem like child's play (useful for oldies, my gf loves it). The Program, Manual, Tv etc modes are great for photography enthusiasts like me. The telephoto lens accounts for great pictures. The SX110IS has modes for almost every kind of picture, be it a sunset or foliage, snow or fireworks. Whatever your need, its got it. The interface is pretty simple to use and follows previous canon models which is good since i owned an A560 before. It is lightweight, sleek enough to slip in your jacket pocket. For a camera with 10X zoom that is a big thing. The zoom works great and accounts for amazing closeups.

I would recommend this camera to everyone I know. I'd suggest you get a PSC-100 case for it along with a tripod. The case doesn't have any pockets but that keeps the sleek advantage of the camera alive.

The only con I can think of is the medium-low battery life due to the really large LCD screen, which is awesome btw. Just buy a couple of pairs of extra rechargeable batteries and you're good to go!

I am not a dedicated photographer, but enjoy taking photos, so I was not looking for an SLR. I have had the camera for a little over a week and I am very happy. The weather has been variable and I have had nice shots in all conditions. The Macro mode seems good in comparison to what I've seen from friends cameras and the zoom is impressive. Currently there is little to compete and so I see this as a camera I can keep for a few years without feeling frustrated from new cameras (especially with the HD video).

I have not had a canon camera before, but I am now comfortable around most of the menu and settings. However I know there is so much more available, but I havn't had the time to go through the massive elctronic user guide.

The worst thing I've had from this camera is the high ISO photos. There is definatly more noise than I expected.

Im in love with my new camera. It has so many features i cant tell, picture quality its excelent, video quality its great.. and beeing able to shoot a picture while recording and full zooming whatever you want IN and Out without having to stop the video like in some other cameras its just amazing. The 20x zoom with image stabilizer exceeded my expactations, it works great.. i just went to a concert the other day and got great pictures and video from very far away.
I think this is the best camera on the market in its class and most of all in PRICE .

The only disadvantage i see in it its the fact that it works on 4 AA batteries wich you can solve with buying an rechargable batteries kit.

A must have

I bought this camera for Election Night 2008. I ordered it from AMAZON.
I can take good out side shots. I use high end rechargables. Today, I tested my batteries - all in the good range - and I was only able to get in less than a dozen shots before it said - change batteries. That is the final straw.

I have tried using many settings. I have spoken to CANON. I said that I wanted to get a new camera - I would have never spent this kind of money if I had known that it requires "AA"s. This camera replaced another CANON that I was happy with, but I dropped while open. To repair that camera lens area, the minimum charge was $175.00. So I bought a new camera.

I will never buy a camera again that takes AA's. And this is not an easy to use camera unless you put it on the simple function, and then you can't make any minor tweaks.

If you want an easy point and shoot - don't get this one. It has failed me at so many important events that I can't even tell you.

I purchased this thing because my mother has a Cannon that is very similar and I loved the quality. I have had two digital cameras prior to this camera in my life. Each time I paid about $150-$200 for the camera. This one was only $130 about, and the quality blows away thet Kodak I had, and the Pentax (the last one I had).

The most obvious difference between this one and others I've had is the picture and video quality, especially the video quality. When I play back a video on my computer, it looks and sounds like a professional camera. It looks like you are watching a TV program the quality is so good. I couldn't believe it. I looked at the file sizes and I knew why. I think my videos are 10 times the amount of space as my other cameras were. I bought a 4GB card to replace my 256MB card. It is worth it though. I save all my videos and pictures on a Seagate external hard drive. Love that thing.

I attached a video that we took the other day with this camera.

This is my first digital camera and I am very impressed with the build quality and ease of use together with the fact that, unlike the more professional SLR's, it is small and light enough to fit in my jacket pocket.

I do have a few small gripes though.

1. Sadly the 32 Mb MMC cards that is supplied by Cannon is a bit of a joke given that most pictures are around 3 to 4Mb. I purchased a 8GB SDHC for a few quid and have had to problems with that.
2. Standard batteries are no good, I bought some Uniross 2700mAh batteries from Amazon together with a charger and this does the trick.
3. The flash is adequate for most things but outdoor shots in low light may come out rather poor. The supplementary flash is a tad expensive too.

All in all a very good camera and highly recommended, just get some reachable batteries and a decent sized memory card and you will be sorted.

I can not comment on the software supplied by Cannon as I have never used it.

I had tried to buy this phone in a store, they were always out of stock. So I tried Amazon for the 1st time. I am so pleased with both Amazon and the camera. The delivery time was short. The manual is really easy to understand and the pictures I have taken come out better than any other camera I have used. The price was good and I am very pleased I bought it.

Was hoping to get at least a couple years out of this camera, the pictures were great and everything but the LCD on it broke after the first year.

This is the first digital camera I have owned. I purchased it a few days before a trip to California, which means I didn't have all that much time to get acquainted with the device.

I had absolutely no problems learning how to use the camera and taking good pictures with it. To my amateurish eyes, the pictures came out just fine and the camera was quite easy to use. There are a variety of settings you can use depending on what is being photographed and when: People, landscapes, action shots, nighttime shots, the "easy mode" etc. These are all nicely indicated using a graphic that appears on the LCD screen. For example, the portrait feature is indicated by a small graphic of a person's profile. There's also a video mode that can be fun.

The camera is pretty compact--not as small as some models out there, but I had no problems. One feature the camera includes that I think is quite important is a view finder in addition to the LCD screen. In bright sunlight it is difficult to take a photo using the LCD screen. I found myself using the viewfinder most of the time. I would caution anyone purchasing a camera with only an LCD screen. This was actually pointed out to me by a colleague who is experienced with digital cameras.

The camera also comes equipped with "image stabilizer" and "face recognition" features; from what I understand, these are two important features you should look for in a digital camera.

For basic photography (vacation pictures, family events, etc.) this is a fine camera at a reasonable price. Part of my research consisted of using Consumer Reports, and the magazine gave Canon products (not sure if this particular model was reviewed) a "Best Buy " rating.

About the only caveat I have is that the program included to load your picture on your computer is not particularly user-friendly. I wound up using iPhotos instead since I have a Mac. But on the other hand, I had no experience with loading photos on a computer--what seemed a bit clunky to me might be just fine for someone else.

I thought this camera was really great. I bought a Canon of the same level only about 2 years ago, and this one as a gift, and I can definitely see a change in the quality of pictures. MUCH better than my 2 year old camera, and I am still pleased with those pictures. I like how small it is. Good design.

Finally broke down and bought a digital camera, and this is a great one to get. I am only a beginner and don't like editing and fine tuning things, so this is perfect. Compact, takes great photos. Would recommend it to everyone. And I love the orange color!!!

This is the third Canon I have purchased, two of which had bad LCD displays right out of the box and had to be returned. This latest one was purchased from Amazon through DBRoth who seems to be having a problem refunding my money even though they have received the returned item. Looks like I'll need to take this up with my credit card company shortly. I would not recommend either this camera or this seller and will never purchase anything from Amazon unless it is sold directly by them.

Much has been said in earlier reviews so I'll limit my review to subjective feedback. This is my 7th digital camera, including use of a Canon XSi. I've had limited shooting opportunities with this so far, but am VERY impressed with how capable it is. I've shot several shots now at the full 20x zoom and am very surprised by the high level of detail captured by this lens (see sample photo of a shore bird on the beach). Video quality is likewise superb and is one reason that this is my take-everywhere camera. The fact that it has a hotshoe allowing you to add a pro-level flash (e.g. 430EX) adds to the versatility of this camera. Also appreciated is the swivel LCD. This is a carry-over from older models. Few cameras offer this now. For most shooting, I prefer the optical viewfinder, but you'll be surprised how many uses you find for an LCD like this.

Is this camera for you? That all depends on what you'll do with the camera. The zoom feature (including wide angle), combined with excellent image quality, is really what pushes this camera over the top for me. There is very little you cannot do with this camera. The downside is that it is not a pocketable camera. It is fairly large and heavy. But if you don't mind the bulk, the camera will reward you with some great shots and video. It is worth a serious look.

This camera is absolutely brilliant. I'm in Oz at the moment and I've just bought one of these to take my travelling photo's and it is the easiest to use and most rewarding camera ever. You can, if you want, change all the settings and go manual, but I've taken 600 pics in the last 3 weeks and haven't felt the need so far..my pics are on facebook and my mates comment on them all the time..the quality of shots is nowt to do with me!

If you want to take a nice picture of your girlfriend (or boyfriend), set it to sepia, shoot, bob's your uncle, she's in love with you - she'll look stunning - don't believe me, try the camera out in a camera shop...

Sunsets and scenery can be done in black and white, or mess around with the colours and see what happens..

I know this review sounds jovial and a bit waffley, but what do you want to hear - I could bore you with explaining how each feature works like they say it does and blah blah blah. Basically, if you're after a compact digital and you've got £250+ to spend, then this is it - I can't imagine that anything else comes close to producing the images that this thing does.

This is my second Ixus (nothing wrong with the previous one, just my stupidity..) the other was a 5 yr old Ixus 50, which was one of the best things I ever owned and this baby is even better..I've had Nikon and Olympus, a Canon A720 (not so good, check my review) and used Sony and while they're all good...this is business.

This is my first digital camera. It can be used on fully automatic settings, fully manual, or a combination of auto and manual. It's very versatile that way. I didn't read the user manuals that came with it, I just started using it. It took me about an hour of shooting and two sets of batteries to figure out all the different options and features it has. So I'd say the controls are pretty easy to learn and understand.

It's pretty easy on batteries, as long as you don't use the flash. I put some cheaper Rayovac alkaline batteries (size AA) in it after the first set went dead and the camera has no problem with them. The flash drains the batteries quickly though - I didn't count the number of photos, but I probably only got 20 or 30 flash photos before the "low battery" warning started blinking. But the warning comes early - you can take another 15 or so photos after the low battery warning pops up. I don't know how many it'll take without the flash, but it's a lot more than when you're using the flash.

The upside is that this camera is VERY sensitive to light, so it hardly even needs a flash. Frankly, as on most compact cameras, the flash sucks. It's too bright and flattens images. But if you have decent lighting indoors, the thing is so light sensitive it takes good photos without the flash. I suppose you'd need the flash if you were taking photos inside someplace dark, like a pub or bar, but in places like houses where there are usually plenty of lights on, it does great without a flash.

It'll record up to an hour of video on a 1G SD card, which is great, because it also has a mic that works perfectly so you get good audio too.

The photos are great - crystal clear and sharp. Most cameras come with a 3x optical zoom at this price, but this camera has a 4x optical zoom. It really helps, especially when you can't simply step closer to your subject for some reason.

Here's the one thing I didn't like about this camera. Out of the box, on the fully auto setting, it takes very bright, sharp, and high contrast photos. Great, right? Unless you're taking pictures of people.

Few people look their best with their foreheads, cheekbones, and chins highlighted by bright, high contrast photos while their faces are somehow oddly flattened. But if you play around with the manual exposure and color settings, you can pretty easily set it right so it takes normal looking pictures. And because you can adjust only those setting you want to change, you can still benefit from the auto features you want to use. Once I found the settings I liked, I left it that way and the camera remembers them, so it's still a point and shoot camera, but with my customized settings.

It seems very sturdy, much more so than many of the cameras I looked at in stores before buying this one. It's too heavy to carry in your shirt pocket, but it's no problem in a cargo pocket or in your pants pocket if you're wearing pants with big pockets.

I think this is a high quality, versatile camera at a great price. It's great in almost every way, but just be aware that there's a bit of a learning curve at the outset to find the combination of settings that'll allow you to produce more "natural" looking photos if that's important to you.

Having owned a Canon Powershot S1 IS for several years, this camera had many familiar touches. There are some differences, too, so there is a bit of a learning curve. However, the more I use the camera, the more I appreciate the changes. For example, to set the self-timer, I push a button on the back of the camera instead of one on the front top. The view finder is much more clear and the LCD screen is significantly larger than previous models - and very usable when I choose to not use the view finder. What I like about this over many cameras in its price range is that it has multiple automatic settings and it has manual settings for the serious amateur who wants full creative control over what the camera does. The ONLY down side I have found is that the camera really does not support lens filters. I have been able to gently screw the 52 mm UV filter from my old camera in place, and I have not had any problems doing so. But I can tell the few threads on the lens are not really intended for this use, so I won't be changing filters any more than absolutely necessary. If Canon would make that one change, I would say this is the perfect camera for someone who does not need the step up - in both price and weight, as well as cost - of a full DSLR, but who wants to do much more than point and shoot.

I was lured to the SX10 after 3 years of great satisfaction with the Canon SX2 IS. Many of my photos are taken indoors at church events. I prefer to avoid flash so that I can be as inconspicuous as possible, but occasionally I require it. With ISO 1600 capability and a hot shoe for external flash, the SX10 fits the bill.

Canon made all the right tradeoffs for my applications. AA batteries are preferable to proprietary lithium ions because of their widespread availability and low cost. Having 4 AA's instead of 2 is a good tradeoff that provides longer battery life at the expense of size and weight. The vari-angle LCD lets me take photos from all angles. I prefer point and shoot to DSLR because the cameras are less expensive and more convenient to carry and use. Like its predecessors in Canon's S-series, the SX10 lets you record audio for each shot which is a great convenience for documenting landmarks during my journeys. 10 megapixel resolution is more than adequate for the online pictures I mainly use and even for my occasional enlargements of 16x20. The controls are very convenient to access. The video quality is excellent. It seems like Canon thought of everything.

I haven't decided yet whether to buy a Canon flash for maximum compatibility or a different brand for less cost at the expense of reduced compatibility. Since I use flash infrequently, I can wait to make that decision. In a little more than a week I've taken 500+ photos to experiment with the camera. I'm very satisfied that the SX10 provides the improvements I sought.

I had the camera for about 1 year after which it's shutter stopped opening fully. Sometime it will open half or sometime not at all. I searched web about the issue and it seems that it is known issues in canon models.

this camera was great for about 1 year and then I got a red spot in the pictures when taken at night time which indicates dead pixels. the battery door is too weak so after a couple hundred of times of opening a closing it for replacing the batteries and dumping the pictures to the computer from the memory card removal the battery door broke off the 3 days later I started receiving a lens error please restart camera message so many times so I was going to buy a new camera and use this one as a spare until I grabbed up the camera and at the same time the wrist strap snapped and the camera fell to the floor and broke the lcd screen so there was nothing to do with tis one instead of throwing it away and buy a new one I think cannon should make the camera to last more than a year on the dead pixle or battery door issue
