Отзывы о Цифровой Фотоаппарат Canon PowerShot SX160 IS

This is a great camera. I bought it on the recommendation of a friend who has one, and it does everything I want it to. The 20x zoom is perfect the the sports mode which I tried out at the beach, works perfectly. The only thing I do not like about it is that the lens cover is not attached. My Kodak had a string attached to the lens cap so it could never be lost. This cap doesn't and is supposed to clip on the strap but fell off. It is also difficult to attach. Other than that, the camera is perfect.

First I was a little skeptical about SX10IS but the price got my eyes stuck on this camera. I had been looking for an SLR but could not justify the price for occasional photography. I found the picture quality and camera quality surprisingly amazing. It is easier to use. The only reason I am giving it 4 stars because of the built-in flash. It is not an automatic pop-up flash. Instead if the flash is needed a message appears on the screen and you have to manually rise up the flash.

Got a Xmas Canon a590is for my girlfriend, K. Also looked at some of the cool, super thin cameras (like the Sony), but I really wanted the optical viewfinder, photo setting features, AA batteries, & SD chip. K has a 'trigger finger' thumb and dropped it .. hard .. onto tile floor which bent & ruined the extended lens. Canon support was great - sent it in and upon inspection it was, as I thought, unrepairable. So I bought another (also from Amazon). Fantastic camera. K wanted something easy and NOTHING IS EASIER than the 'easy' setting on this camera. Then she took a class, and discovered that the a590is can do everything the instructor covered for advanced techniques. Pictures are terrific. We always put on the camera strap now, but if it gets dropped again, I'll get another. She uses NiMH slow discharge batteries (like Sanyo Eneloop) and carries a spare pair, but has not had any battery life problems, even with display and flash on most of the time - although the class taught her to use the flash only when needed now.

We were impressed by the amount this camera can zoom in on objects and still maintain clarity. We zoomed in on a mailbox far down the road and were able to read the numbers. Print quality is still great, even zoomed in that much. There are a lot of features to "get-to-know", but an easy-mode as well so you can just grab the camera quick to catch the kids or creatures doing something funny (while they're still doing it!). Size and weight still allows you to slip it in a purse, tote or oversized pocket if you don't want to tote a camera case.
A VERY nice camera and good value.

I used the Canon SX10is daily over a period of two months on a trip to Peru, and shot around 600 images during that time. I would call this "normal" use. The LCD monitor on my camera appears to have an anti-reflective coating which resists fingerprints. The coating on the LCD monitor on my camera wore through in less than two months of normal use, and it scratched easily. The paint on the "function set" button on the back of the camera also wore off in less than two months, which I considered an unacceptably short time. This is not covered by the Canon warranty, according to Canon customer service. I had expected better durability. If you buy this camera and intend to have it hanging around your neck and brushing against your shirt, be sure to buy a plastic screen protector to protect the screen, or else turn the vari-angle screen inwards anytime you're not shooting. I don't know what to say about the paint on the buttons wearing off, so I'll just mention that it happened on mine and recommend that Canon use a more durable paint in the future. Otherwise the camera performed about as expected, although it went through AA batteries very quickly. If you buy this camera, also buy 8 rechargeable AA batteries and a rapid charger, and carry 4 spare batteries with you if you anticipate a full day of shooting.

I've been a fan of Canon cameras for years now...I've owned the A40, A60, SD630 and my current camera is the SD870IS and I have loved each and every one of them. This A590IS was a birthday present for my elderly father and would be his first digital camera. I didn't want to spend too much or get a camera that was too tiny or packed with features he would never use. I knew that the shape of this camera (because of AA batteries) would be easier to hold than my tiny SD Eplh's (it is) yet still provide a more than adequate point and shoot when set to auto. Another thing about this camera that I liked is the viewfinder which makes a nice transition for someone who is not used to digicams with lcd screens on the back. The image stabilization (IS) is also worth it's weight in gold when you consider that older digital cameras had to be held absolutely still to get a good picture without blurring. My dad loves this camera..he has already stopped using the viewfinder (which is barely adequate imo)and bought rechargeable AA batteries and a nice case for it. This camera makes a perfect entry level digicam but is still packed with features when you feel comfotable trying them out.

Pros:
Small and light without being too tiny
Takes very good pics even on auto
Packed with features
The price is right

cons:
viewfinder is too small and not accurate
Shape makes it not as "pocketable" as the SD series

Hello folks out there:

I brought this camera for taking pictures and keeping it on the computer. I have no intention of printing it. I am also an amatuer.

For a beginner, and one not so familiar in camera usage, it is excellent.
The camera came with several booklet, telling you how to use and take care of the camera. The do's and don'ts. It comes with a basic manual, which is very easy to understand. It also comes with an advance booklet with more detailed information for those who are experts or advanced users.

I only used the automatic features and I found it excellent. I took outdoors and indoors pictures. What amazed me was that after taking my first pictures outdoors, the camera was able to identify the scene. The first picture it said unidentified but after that it took clear picture. It also took clear pictures indoors.

I am also very pleased with the LCD monitor. I never use the view finder to take a picture, instead I use the LCD monitor, which makes it much easier, and the picture shown of the object your pointing is displayed clearly.

I read all the reviews because with having a problem with my hand I wanted to be sure that I would choose the right camera. I have been really pleased with it and I can manage the buttons fine. I have taken the best photographs that I have ever taken - the handshake facility really works - I have ruined so many photos because of my handshake moving the camera. I would highly recommend this item. The only criticism I have is that I had to stop and print the manual off on the computer from the disc provided whereas if I had got a paper version with it I would have found it so much easier and much more convenient, maybe I'm old fashioned but I prefer a booklet to follow in my own time and something I can carry around with me at first while I learn to use it.

I am pleased with my purchase. Still learning how to make the best, most effective use of the hardare and the software it contains, but have taken some very nice shots. I live in an area of spectacular natural beauty. I want to take advantage. This camera graduates me from film to digital. Yes, I know I'm a little late. In another, earlier life, I made a living with med/surg photography. This camera, features, lensing, help me get back into some semblence of what I once did. It works for what I want to do and is affordable.

perfect for my camera, very tidy, convenient, easy to carry around. takes up very little room. I would recommend it

As another reviewer said, it takes awhile to get used to all it's features, but once you do, you're good to go. I'm satisfied with this camera in everyway.

I had a delivery problem though. I waited and waited for my order to arrive only to find out it was mis-delivered to another address. The Tracking sheet said it was left at my address, but it was not. FedEx left it at a residence down the street from me, and just left it on their porch! The tracking sheet also showed "no signature required" which I've never heard of for a FedEx delivery, but if you order this, make sure you get "signature required upon delivery".

I bought this for my wife as a replacement for her Ixus55 which broke when dropped, oh the joys of having a 3yo in the house. Initially we thought it would be pretty much the same as the Ixus55 but we've been highly impressed by the improvements.

The three biggest changes we like are the way the ISO changes automatically to best suit the shooting environment whilst letting you know by showing it on the display. The second major improvement is the flash which seems to fill fairly big voids with just the right amount of light. Lastly, the start-up is very quick for a point & shoot camera.

This camera is a joy to use, it has a nice feel, is light and the Canon design is now imitated by all the other camera manufacturers.

We purchased this because we needed a digital that could do very close macro shots, and this delivers. It takes great pictures almost touching the subject. I believe you could set the camera lens directly on a piece of paper, and it would still photograph it clearly, except for the lack of light. Be aware, it uses two "AA" batteries, and it goes through them fairly quickly, so rechargables may be a consideration. Overall, we are very satisfied with this camera, and would recommend it to anyone!

I am extremely pleased with this product. The picture quality is excellent and the controls are much easier to use than my former camera (Panasonic). The instuction book is well written, with a couple of exceptions:
1) The camera comes with a very small memory card which limits the number of pixels that can used in an image. This results in images with appreciable pixel noise. The instruction book fails to mention that the memory card limits the number of pixels per image that can be set. (The camera should be supplied with a larger memory for only a small increase in price). In any event the purchase of a larger memory should be a #1 item for the new user.
2) I failed to see any warning about leaving the camera in a hot environment such as in a car parked in the sun.
3) The focusing mechanism looks like it could be damaged by grit getting into the mechanism. (Keep it out of sand storms).

This camera was for my wife who has had trouble in the past using digital cameras. We bought this camera because it has an optical viewfinder in addition to the LCD screen. We are most pleased that we did so, since the screen is almost impossible to see in bright sunlight. Don't buy a camera without an optical viewfinder! The camera has a special setting for novice users which eliminates most decision making, although it has many sophisticated settings if you want to use them. I highly recommend the camera although there are two negatives. The batteries ran down quickly, although I suspect using Lithium batteries would solve this problem. The zoom works easily but switches from optical zoom at 4X to higher zoom levels which are only digitally enhanced. I wish the zoom would stop at just the 4X level unless you intentionally overroad it. Otherwise, a great camera.

I bought this camera because my we wanted a camera to replace out outdated Canon 6mp. My Wife opted for this over the Panasonic Limix, as it was compact and could fit easily in her purse. We ended up getting the Limix later...
I was disappointed with this camera from the beginning. Taking indoor shots in a large room, the flash is inadequate, about 5 Ft is max. The flash/mode controls are not easily changed on the fly and are somewhat confusing. Our older Canon was easier in this aspect. Pictures were not as good as our Canon SD-1100is, which I'd strongly recommend if you want a compact that takes better pictures than some of the "big boys."
And consider this; If you are prone to misplacing or loosing small things, consider a larger camera. My wife lost hers (it slipped right off of her wrist while walking from an event) after only 2 hours of use..

This is a good camera, it takes great pictures under almost any circumstances. Now, as almost all pocket cameras, it is not easy, much less fast, to put the menu onscreen and start choosing, so you use it almost always in automatic point and shoot mode.
4X optical zoom and 4x more in digital zoom is more than most in its class.

It has an unbelievable hunger for batteries, and it chews them very fast, both rechargeable or alcaline. That's its most negative aspect, and even with new ones, flash recycle takes several seconds (about 15).

Anyway, the pictures are good and 5MP is more than enough.

I received this camera 3 weeks ago. The first problem was that there was no memory card included with the camera. So when the start-up section of the instruction book said to take a picture to check the operation of the camera, it said it couldn't store the picture because there was no memory!

The next problem happened when I recorded movies on the memory cards which I had to run out and buy. The ZoomBrowser software was unable to transfer the movies to the computer. Canon's tech support solution was that I either could go out and buy a new computer because I needed both a lot more memory and a faster processor or I could leave the movies on the memory card and hook the camera up to a TV and watch them that way, thus tying up my memory cards. At $50 a pop, that's a pretty expensive solution. If you want a lot of frustration, buy this camera.

For the most part, this is a great little camera, *especially* for its size --- it's very convenient, good resolution, reasonably fast, and even makes as good a video camera as any sd camcorder could be. Except that half to 3/4 of the time, the pictures are out of focus, often *badly* out of focus. I've tried holding the button part down to make sure the little square is green, indicating it thinks the picture will be good, and I turned off face priority. If it even did something as simple as focusing at infinity when it couldn't get a good lock, it would be useable. I'm looking for a replacement now...

This is a beast of a camera. Be prepared to get yourself a good quality set of NiMH cells (preferably two sets) and a good charger or if you're very rich, just use Lithium cells. This is NOT a beginners camera - it is awesome! Basically you have the same control as with an SLR but without a "real" viewfinder of course - the one in the SX1 is electronic and not wonderful resolution - but zooms in on the area of focus when manually focusing so acceptable. You don't have the fuss of carrying several lenses with you everywhere and the risk of getting dust inside when swapping lenses. OK the f-stop range of the built in 20x zoom is a little limited but works fine for me.
You WILL have to read the manual twice to get even half of the features and how to use them latched into your head. I've tried the HD video and it looks great - but I don't have either a HD TV or a PC capable of playing it back properly (yet). But have made a 640x480 capture for use in work and that was excellent.
Quite a step up from my old PowerShot A70 and a very worthy replacement of my old OM10 system that fits in half the space of its body, 28mm, 50mm and 70-210 zoom and 2x converter.

This is a good camera but I have never seen a worse battery guzzler,I have to change batteries on average after every 10 photos,and there is no charger option.This has become a liability now ,wish I bought a proper DSLR.

This is a great camera for the pro/am shooter that wants a little, but sturdy camera around. I normally shoot with a Canon Mark II, so I'm sometimes reluctant to shoot with smaller cameras, but this is a great deal for the price and features.

First off, understand that no point-and-shoot will ever match the quality of an SLR... but as far as point-and-shoots go this is one of the better ones.

The top feature so far to me is the image stabilization. Absolutely amazing. With decent support I can take shots at 1/8 shutter speed and still come out with a clear shot. It's so much better than sacrificing picture quality with a higher ISO.

Second plus is the price. At around $250 the SX100IS is as good as the Canon A640 and about $100 less. The A640 is 10mp, 4x zoom and has a flip screen, but the SX100IS has 10x zoom to trump it. 8mp is all you need in a camera like this. Don't get me wrong, the A640 is a great camera, but the SX100IS is the better deal.

Everything else is what I've come to expect from Canon and more. Much better manual controls -- the scroll wheel makes it simpler to change settings. A wide variety of ISOs from 80 to 1600. Good face recognition technology.

The SX100IS falls short in only one area... the flash.

Before I get to the negatives, the great thing about the flash is that it doesn't pop up automatically, and yes that's a good thing. I like this because it's simple -- flash down, it will not fire. Flash up, it will fire. No fumbling around for the flash button, no unexpected flash in the museum, etc. It's a very common-sense approach. Kudos to Canon for believing that their customers aren't complete idiots and that they don't need an automatic flash.

Where the flash disappoints is in performance. First, as usual, it over powers on most close up people shots, whiting out faces. This is at least correctable by dialing down the flash power in the function options.

Red-eye is another problem I always seem to have with Canon point-and-shoot flashes. I don't think the red-eye reduction feature works at all.

There also seems to be a little delay when using the flash. Not that this isn't the case with other point-and-shoots, but this one seems a little longer than normal.

Finally, the automatic color processing with the flash doesn't compensate enough for the flash. Pics look a little blueish. It's not too bad, but again I've seen better.

So this camera gets a 4 out of 5 because of the flash issues, but if you're mostly shooting without flash (and with that great image stabilization, you can shoot a lot more no-flash) then it'd be 5 out of 5.

I love this camera!!!!!! my first camera was a sony camera and it had those expensive batteries and i lost the charger that came with it and when i went to buy oneit was $45!!! soo i was like why not buy a new one!!!!!!! And i bought this camera because this guy at my office whos like a genius with camera's said this is the best point and shoot camera he ever bought and it uses AA batteries! so i bought some rechargeable batteries that charges 4!!! So far i really love this camera!!!!! and it comes with a memory card which can hold 11 pics for test shooting! i advise you buy a 4 gb memory card!!!!! And i love the self-timer! i have much more to say but cant rite now!

My 11-month-old Olympus died just before I was scheduled to leave for a three week visit to England. Olympus would not honor their warranty and I refused to pay nearly $200 to repair a $300-camera and ordered this one instead. Free shipping from Amazon got it to me the day before I left so I had no time to become familiar with it, something I was apprehensive about since I'd never owned a Canon but it was not difficult to use at all. I bought a 16GB memory card in London so I would had lots of space available to practice but found I really didn't need it. I got some great shots and some very good videos of my friend's birthday celebration with a minimum of deletions. (I also use it to take photos for newspaper articles I write.) Definitely not disappointed and I give this one a huge thumbs up for quality and ease of use and to Amazon for quick service.
