Отзывы о Цифровой Фотоаппарат Canon PowerShot SX160 IS

I bought this camera for my daughter's sixteenth birthday. She loves it! The picture and video quality is great. I wanted the camera to be small enough to carry in a purse, but not so small that your hand engulfs the camera when you take a picture. This camera is the perfect size. There are lots of scene options to play with and lots of great features to help you get the best pictures possible. We added a 4 GB memory card and two rechargeable batteries. Now I want to buy this camera for myself!

Slightly disappointed after reading reviews. Not as easy to operate as my previous camera the IXUS 800 (6 mega pixel) which was better designed.
Function set button and wheel around it particularly hard to operate (Have to use my fingernail)
Video playback on computer jerky {maybe fault of computer not camera) but OK on TV.
Picture quality excellent.0CommentWas this review helpful to you?YesNoReport abusePlease write at least one wordYou must purchase at least one item from Amazon to post a commentA problem occurred while submitting your comment.

The Zoom Browser EX 6.1 software that comes with the camera for viewing pictures did not work. After many tries, it continued to show an error. I called Canon and spoke with what sounded like a very knowledgeable technician, but he was stumped and had no answer for me. I have a two year old Canon Power Shot A610 and even tried to use its software with the A1000 IS camera. It wouldn't work either. I have figured out a workaround, but it's a hassle. Think twice before purchasing!

UPDATE on April 5, 2013: After 3 years, last summer all of a sudden this camera's lens froze in the open, extended position and would no longer retract. The camera was now unusable.

I got this camera after returning a less than stellar Nikon L100 and it has not disappointed me yet. Working right out of the box with very minimal reading of the manual, great pictures of my pets and kids in action, lots of scene modes to chose from. My only complaint, as mentioned in other reviews is the scroll wheel is VERY sensitive and often bypasses the mode I am trying to get into. I can forgive that with the overall quality of the camera.

If you are on the fence about this camera, it is great. A little large, but I do not mind that.

This Canon SX110IS is as great as all the other reviewers say it is so I won't bore you by repeating all it's great features. I will only bring up a couple of minor things about this camera.
Wish List....
1. The SD card slot was not in the battery compartment.
2. It would be nice to able to "dedicate" the print button (top left on back of camera) to video start and video stop like the Canon ELPH SD1000 is able to do. Turning the top control wheel to video is inconvenient when you want to start filming instantly.
3. Although I don't dislike having AA batteries powering the camera, I would like a solid long lasting rechargeable battery like my SD1000 has. I am suspicious of this 400 shot capability with 2 AA's.
4. One troublesome feature is how easy it is to change the quality of the video with the control wheel on the rear of the camera. A little movement of this wheel changes the video quality and you won't know it until its too late. Changing video quality should have been a drill down menu option instead of a control wheel function.
The above are minor items and in no way take away the quality this camera has. This camera has nice to have features and not a bunch of silly never used features. I love the automatic lens cap, ability to review shots without turning on the whole camera. I love the solid feel and look of this camera, it's well built and small enough to carry around in your pocket or purse. The pictures it takes are Canon quality pictures and to me that means first rate just like my Canon Rebel XT. I've tried other cameras and they are good but to me Canon is the best.

I bought this camera in May 2009 for a trip my husband and I took to Alaska. It is a fantastic little camera and we are very happy with it. Cannon cameras are generally rated as a top choice for consumer reports and I just saw that a recent Consumer Reports magazine had this camera featured on the front. This camera is user-friendly, takes crisp pictures, uses only two AA batteries (which lasted us about 150-200 pictures), is light, takes pictures faster and is ready to take the next picture faster than our previous five-year old Powershot model. The only downsides are the fact that it only comes with a memory card that holds NINE pictures total. That's a little ridiculous. Plan on spending an extra $20 for a 4 GB memory card. It's still a great deal for what you get with this camera when you compare price to quality and I would buy it again and recommend it to others!

I had a Kodak Easy Share and wanted an upgrade to get closer shots. I am no pro, but love to take pictures, I have 4 boys. I have had great luck with this, zooms good and when you push the botton, it takes the picture, no delay. The zoom, is good. I'm sure there are bertter cameras out there, but if you want a great camera at a great price, this is it. The only downfall, which could be a perk, is that it uses 2 AA batteries. They seem to need to be replaced often. I wish they were rechargable. I go through alot of batteries, but at least they are easy to get if they run out.

I bought this camera about a month ago and love it. I wanted one to keep in my purse because my Sony was too large. I love it. It's a little heavy for a purse, but I carry it anyway. I just developed some digital photos and they were so much clearer than my older Sony camera makes.

I love the large screen. It's easy to use and easy to view the pictures you've taken.

I'm not sure I like having the double A batteries, because they seem to go out pretty quickly the way I use the camera, so i don't like throwing away so many but I'm going to try some rechargeable batteries in it to see how that does.

I'd recommend this camera!

After a lot of research on the internet, I found this little Gem. This camera is fantastic value for it's incredible performance. The picture quality is superb and in my opinion this camera is as good as a professional photographer's camera. The different functions this camera has is unbelievable and very easy to use. My wife was so happy when I gave her this camera for her Birthday, it was also delivered very quickly and well in time for her big day. The battery life after a 2 Hour charge is not disssapointing either, many thanks and well done.

One month out of warranty and "Memory Card Error" appeared on screen. Estimated repair by Canon is $99.00. I would not recomend this camera. Buy something cheaper and throw away when it fails.

It is awesome!!! All I can say is zoom zoom baby. You can get any picture anywhere no matter how far. It is amazing. The zoom works really well and with the stability thing I think the pictures come out great for its class. This is no DSLR don't think it is. But for its class this is worth it.

You also can get amazing close up group shots with the 28mm wide angle built in. All I can say is I will never ever buy a camera without that wide angle again. It is perfect.

It is a bit bulky but worth it for the crispy zoomed pictures you get. And you get use to the bulk and the grip and I have small hands so no problem. It is probably bigger than you are use to, this is not ELPH. But with the 20x...

It runs on double AA's but if you get some nice rechargeable they should last you long while. I was on a recent trip in Peru and used some sanyo batteries and they lasted for 3 days of continuous picture taking.

the one annoying thing is no lens cap tether! but you can buy one for a buck and do that yourself.

one of the best things is the flip out LCD it helps you take really hard to angle shots.

I found the wheel a little annoying and I had to use the book a lot when I was trying to figure other controls in the beginning, but if you want to just up and go with the camera you use the auto functions and get great pictures.

So picture takers who want ZOOM take this camera and go!!!!!

For the price, this one is a steal. The manual settings give you a lot of control while the image stabilization works perfectly to give you great shots.
This is a great camera for a budding photographer to test his skills before jumping on to a SLR. After one gets a good grasp of the controls, the photos come out stunning.

One problem is that the time between shots is a bit high, and I have missed out some great moments because of this. Also the compartment for the battery and the SD card could have been improved upon

This is a great little camera. Bought it for a trip to New York, didn't want to take bulky SLR. Fits in pocket just right and has a really good resolution.

Zoom okay, though it IS only 3.7 which isn't much. But what do you expect from an compact!? The macro on the other hand is very good. Took some excellent images of butterflies in the Natural History museum without flash.

Quite cheap for what you get as new models are being released. You will need a seperate SD card as the 32Meg one which comes with it takes about four images on hi res.

It's got quite a few features and you can get good results. It's even got some smart face recognition software if you're out partying and want to take some pictures for facebook.

The lag time between pressing button and taking image is minimal as it's got a decent processor in it like all new Canon compacts. Tons of other features too which I've used and they're pretty good. You won't get the full diversity of an SLR, but you will be spoilt for choice.

Highly recommend this if travelling or going out and want to take some quick snaps.

I looked for a new digital camera for quite awhile. Finally decided on either a Cannon, Nikon, or Sony. Amazon had this camera on a particularly good sale at just under $100.00. I jumped at it. The two models I had been looking at in the Cannon line was this Powershot A590 IS and the 110SX. The price convinced me this was the one for me and I'm very glad I did. I've not had the time necessary to use all of it's features but the ones I have are very,very good. In AUTO mode it'l do most everything the average picture taker needs done and does it well. I'm not anywhere close to a professional photographer, at one time I did have a small business taking photos, using hand models, and made quite a name for myself, but, that was in the years of 35mm and the myriad equiptment list. I've dropped the camera bug for the motorsports bug that I made a bit of money photographing, and love the way this camera responds to all the shooting situations I come into now. I can even use it at speed on the track, without anybody else near anyway. It is that easy to use. I'm impressed with the results I've gotten so far and will continue to delve into the features of this very good, small, lightweight, point-and-shoot. The results are far better than most other point-and-shoot's that I've seen in this same megapixel range. I understand it's the size of the sensor, and not just how many pixels it senses, and the sensor in this camera is bigger than most others. I LIKE IT !

I bought this A590IS after I returned the A1000IS (10 megapixel version), which had a terrible amount of noise. This A590 is 8MP, and has a little bit less noise than the A590IS. But it is still unacceptable for indoor shots, even at ISO 80. Most pictures look grainy.

I had chosen this camera because it is one of the few with a viewfinder, has AA battery support, and SDHC card support - I own many rechargeable AAs and SDHC cards that I use in my Pentax K200D DSLR, my primary camera. I was looking for a secondary lighter camera. The A590IS isn't it, unfortunately.

Much older cameras with fewer megapixels, like my Olympus C3030Z, or Nikon Coolpix L1, never had this kind of problem.

The A590IS is a prime example of Canon trying to pack too many megapixels into a tiny sensor.

The only reason I kept this camera is that I bought it with 2 printers that were free after rebate and worth $100 each. If it weren't for them, I would have returned this camera too.

I still do not know what else to buy as a replacement, since good P&S options with viewfinders seem to be very limited these days.

It has been a satisfactory product. Takes a long time after the picture click to come to clicking mode. but picture quality in daylight and night mode is good.

I have purchased three of these for camera challenged friends. It takes a great picture and it is one of the simplest cameras on the market to operate. If you want good, easy, cheap and reliable, this is for you. Add a 4 GB card and a set of Duracell Pre-charged batteries and this thing will just keep on keeping on. Not for your Pro photo person.

Everything you ever wanted in a small digital camera. No complaints whatsoever. I broke the lens (my fault, left it in my pocket and turned it on) and sent it to the manufacturer and they fixed it free... THANKS!

Update (08/12/2009) - This camera is still working! I have had an issue with transitioning between an point and shoot to this (portability). I just can't bring it everywhere as it is not pocket friendly. However, with that said, 9 months later, this camera is still taking phenomenal pictures!!!.. I could not recommend any better camera for those who like the convienence of a point and shoot.. while having the power, quality, and option of an SLR

I purchased this product to upgrade from a simple Point and Shoot. I read about the comparisons between this and another camera in the same range; however, if you are adjusting from a beginner point and shoot to not exactly a DSLR, this IS the camera for you.

I ordered this for Thanksgiving, and read a quick lesson in the book about how to get some of the features running. Not a single shot has disappointed me. Granted, I am not a professional camera person, nor do I intend on going into details about pixels.

All I wanted to know is: Does it produce good images? Answer: For Sure! Does it produce good PRINTED images? Answer: I printed 8x10, 5x7, and 4x6 and all of them come out excellent.

I have an niece that is only 18 months (just walking) and this camera took phenomenal pictures of her. I have had this camera a little over 2 weeks and it has yet to disappoint me. It is great to find a good camera and that has the LCD screen that rotates!

It comes Highly recommended

This camera takes exceptional pictures! Huge 3" viewing screen, and the zoom quality is absolutely amazing! Though you can set it on "auto" and take great pictures that way, it's manual settings allow you to adjust shutter speed, aperture, white balance, and much more to take those beautiful pictures that professional cameras take.
I've read reviews that said it eats batteries, but in my experience, that's only if you're constantly using the flash. If your setting are right, you don't need the flash on most the time, unless most of your shooting is done in low/dark light. Frankly, i rarely use the flash unless i'm in that kind of light setting and my pictures look better for it.
I would NOT recommend this camera for the first time, or casual picture-taker. This camera is best suited for someone who has a growing interest in taking better pictures because while you're learning to use the more advanced features (which takes time and practice) you can still take great shots in the "auto" setting.

THREE NEGATIVES:
1. It's somewhat heavy (which i don't mind but you might).
2. Also, when you DO use the flash, the viewing delay time is pretty significant. What I mean is as soon as you take a picture with the flash on you will have to wait atleast four seconds to take another picture.
3. There is no eye viewer (i'm sure that's not the correct term). What i mean is - you can only view your subject on the viewing screen, not by peeking through the eye hole that most cameras have.

I love this camera. The 1080p movies on this thing are amazing. I have been amazed by the quality of video I've been able to shoot. The camera is also great. I'm getting great daytime pictures no matter how much I push the zoom. Darker shots have been much more difficult. Without the flash, my results have been poor at any distance. The flash is very bright and the best range is about 6 - 10 feet.

This camera is pretty easy to cary around and uses AA batteries that you can purchase anywhere.

Can't really say enough about this little gizmo. All we wanted was a relatively nice point and shoot, but ended up with so much more! I upgraded to the Canon SX100IS from an old Olympus. I liked the Olympus, but love the Canon. I looked at the ELPH series for their compact size, but was disappointed with their meager zoom. I decided to forego the slim design for a better lens and have been impressed every step of the way!! I've mostly taken photos on the auto setting, but also messed with the speciality settings, i.e., night shot, beach, snow, etc. Taken numerous movies, inside and out. Everything has turned out way better than expected. Clear as a bell. I caught a photo of a coyote on the north coast bluffs of Santa Cruz at an estimated 50 yards with the 40X digital zoom and could not believe my eyes at the image quality. Definitely like the manual flash - wasn't sure if I would, but realized just how often I had to turn the flash on our old camera OFF to get a decent shot. The Image Stabilization system seems to work very well. The face recognition system is great too...easy to turn off if you don't want it. All settings and menus easy and user friendly even for a novice like myself. I really like the software that came along with it too - way better than iphoto. I have tried using some of the camera's SLR characteristics like manual focus and shutter speed and that's pretty easy too, though I'm sure someone with more experience could make better use of those features. Pretty durable...I dropped it and freaked out that it was ruined, but it didn't even get a scratch and works perfectly. Really like that it takes regular AA's - in a pinch, you can find batteries anywhere.

OK, so it can't be ALL positive, right? Well, if I must pick a few things I don't like, one would be the function selector wheel - it's sometimes hard to turn it without pushing it's buttons too, if that makes any sense. I've resolved that issue by just not using the wheel, but just using it as a button. The fact that it only has 2 AA batts is nice for weight, but not so nice for longevity. I did experience a couple of blurry action shots of people sledding down a hill, but most were fine...I think it was just user error. That's about it for negatives.

Overall, my experience with this camera has been beyond expectation. For portability, ease of use, number of features, quality of lens and images, it is just what I wanted. Happy birthday to me.

Bought this camera about a yr. ago. GREAT pictures HOWEVER, it has started to complain about low battery. It then shuts off. Repeatedly replaced batteries of proper type and camera still complains. Searching the internet reveals others having the same problem. Took problem to Canon customer service. They suggest sending the camera to a service center to be looked at. AND BTW they have no service bulletins on this problem (even tho you can find MANY similar problems on the internet). AND of course you will foot the bill for shipping and they probably will find something wrong of which you will pay that bill also.

Canon is not owing up to the fact that they have a problem here.

EDIT on 12/21/11 In addition, camera will not hold date & time. Yes, I replaced that battery twice and it still looses date & time.

I see current reviews complaining about the same battery problem so the problem has not been fixed. Need to buy a new camera but it wont be a canon.

Contrary to other reviews, you can put a 52mm UV or polarizer lightweight lens on the end of the zoom They fit, I have done this with mine.
t takes great pictures and I bought it as a upgrade to the Cannon S5 IS (that you have to use converter lenses to attain what this SX10 IS already has built into it). The only carry over that I can use from my Canon S5 IS, with the SX10 IS, is the Speedlite 430 flash for the external hot shoe. The manual and other reviews state that no lenses can be attached. They are wrong!!! I have numerous step up and step down rings from my other cameras and lo and behold, found that the end of the SX10 IS can take a 52mm ring or in other words a 52mm polarizer or uv lens etc. can be attached to it. This is true because I now can attach them to mine. Also, I do not like the lens cap that came with it., even though it can be attached to the strap. I had another cap from another camera that was a 52mm with a cord that was attached to it and I put this cap on my new camera instead. Just Google 52mm lens cap with a string and you can purchase one for under 4 dollars. I also use 8gb or larger SD cards and the new 2900 MIH rechargeable batteries (nothing lower than 2900) that last all day. This is the camera that I will be using for a long time. It has everything built into it with no need to carry additional heavy lenses. I highly endorse it. The flip out lcd is another plus.
