Отзывы о Цифровой Фотоаппарат Canon PowerShot SX160 IS

Yes, this is the ankle part of a thick knitted sock, with a Canon logo. That means your Canon Ixus is gently cuddled while in your pocket, ready for any pictures to be taken as you have your Ixus with you all the time. The screen is well protected. My Ixus 95IS fits snug and looked after.

The sock has a large removable hook and wrist tie, which you could use to hang the sock off a belt loop on your trousers; I haven't used it for that purpose, I removed it as not needed in my pocket.

The sock has no pockets for memory sticks or batteries or any such. After all a 4gb memory stick has space of 100's of pictures and the batteries in the Ixus 95IS last for ages too. So you don't need special places for them.

Get this if you want simple protection. Don't buy it if you're looking for a gadget bag.

I wanted to upgrade from my not-too-old digital camera to one that had a super zoom on it. I had spoke to various folks at camera stores, and they ALL recommended this camera. I have not used it a lot, and there is a big manual to read, but so far, I am enjoying the expermentation. I definitely recommend reading the manual as it gives you some fine tips on taking different types of photos. A little heavy, but the zoom makes up for it. I plan to take photos at my daughter's wedding.

I love this camera. It produces the most amazing pictures. No noise, sharp, stunning colors. I recently compared it to a Panasonic Lumix point and shoot, and the Panasonic came out the loser by a large margin. My only problem with the 550 is that it gives me the low battery indicator light on freshly charged batteries. This is very annoying. I've found that the higher mah batteries tend to do better. I've also recently invested in a high-end battery charger to make sure that the batteries I use in the Canon are fully charged (something I can't do with the cheapy chargers that typically come for free when you buy rechargeable batteries).

My favorite setting: Manual, ISO 200, No flash. If you hold the camera steady, you'll get amazing pictures indoors and outdoors.

Purchased this camera a little while ago to replace our aging HP camera, which was becoming unreliable.
It is more compact and easier to use. Buy a spare battery though because when it says the battery is low, it's almost flat and needs replacing.
Pictures are superb, clear, sharp and the colours excellent.
Ours came without the software in the box. However, Canon service (01737 220 000) gave name and tel_no of company to supply software. Supplier was aware of issue of some sold IXUS 85i's without s/w and upon supply of Camera serial number, sent the software, which arrived the following day.
So excellent service seems to be available too.

It has taken a bit of time to get used to all the settings. Still playing around with the manual controls - not had much success with those yet. Have taken some great macro shots and its nice to have a pocket size camera to take everywhere. Am pleased with style, comfortable to handle and am now getting some fab shots. A perfect substitute for when I can't carry my digital SLR camera. My only gripe is no sport setting which makes it difficult to take shots whilst on the move -a fave occupation of mine to stop me getting bored while travelling. All in all though a brilliant little camera - For me, worth the extra cost.

Over the last few years, on trips, I have alternated the use of a Canon Digital Rebel SLR and a Nikon Coolpix 7900 point and shoot. I found that the Canon Digital Rebel became a real problem in the point and shoot arena. It was heavy, required lens changes, was hard to conceal in the rain, and bulky.

The Nikon was really too small, the settings hard to read, it was sensitive to vibration, had a fairly low resolution, and did not have a long enough zoom lens.

In December, I bought the SX10IS, because it seemed to be the best of both worlds. AND IT WAS! On a trip around South America, we encountered every conceivable situation and this camera exceeded in every category. It is lightweight, small but not too small, has a great zoom lens, great resolution, image stabilization, no lens changes, can be hidden under a rainsuit, and produces superior images.

Recently, a lens adapter has become avialable that accepts 58mm filters.

I would highly recommend this camera as a great all-around winner.

Good little camera takes good pictures. Needs a big memory card the one that comes with the camera only holds 8 pictures. I Have replaced the battiers with rechareable battiers.

The hard drive failed in a year. The camera cannot be found by computers, making uploading almost impossible. I also bought a replacement plan which made me to pay the shipping, unbelievable.

The Canon Powershot SX10is is a great little camera. Its lens is amazing going from extreme wideangle to extreme telephoto (in 35mm equivalents 28mm to 560mm). The ten megapixels enables you to digitally zoom out even further to 80 power.

I am a birder, and I wanted a handy camera to take picture of birds that that will yield a picture good enough to "prove" that I saw a particular bird. It is so nice not to be chained to a heavy tripod and a heavy birding scope in order to photograph birds.

My pictures don't match the best pictures made by serious bird photographers with expensive outfits with long telephoto lens and converters, but it gives me surprisingly sharp pictures.

The only criticism I have is one that I have read in other reviews. The camera has a "wheel" to select a feature that has to do with ISO or sensitivity to light, or in SCENE mode to pick what type of picture (fireworks, sunsets, etc) that you might want to use. It can be frustrating to get to the feature you want to use.

The second frustration is the way you call up a picture you've taken by pressing a button "way over in right field." I do like the ease with which you can take movies.

I loved this camera, especially the flippy lens, but now it says all batteries are dead, even brand new ones. This makes it useless. Even if it does say let the batteries work, they drain and it is useless within an hour.

The short version:

This is a great camera for people who want an easily portable camera that is FAST and takes great pictures out of the box (but has some versatility for those who want to be able to do more).

The long version:

I'm a decidedly novice photographer, although it is something of a running joke in my family about just how many photos I take. I was looking to replace my previous digital camera, which took great pictures of stationary objects but wasn't fast enough to catch the shot I wanted if the subject wasn't holding still-- e.g. kids at play. I've now had this camera for a month and taken approximately 450 photos in various conditions. Some things I've noticed:

1) Battery life: not great, but frankly better than I expected. I'm on the third set of disposable batteries; the set that came with the camera lasted about 100 photos, and I switched out the second set a couple days ago before leaving on a trip-- they weren't "dead" but I figured they were close to the end of their usefulness. Partially charged batteries are most noticable when using the flash, when they can really delay getting that next shot. And it is GREAT to be able to use AA batteries.

2) Red eye: Wow!!! What a dramatic improvement from my old A95! Yes, I still occasionally have to correct red-eye, but far less often. I do have the built in red-eye reduction set to "on"

3) Speed: again, WOW!!! There is virtually no shutter lag-- I press the button, and get the picture I wanted. Ok, I've also learned to partially depress the button to focus the camera and wait for the shot I want-- but even when my subject is in motion and I don't want to pre-focus I can virtually always catch the moment I meant to catch. Assuming I either have fresh batteries or am not using the flash, I can take the next photo just a few heartbeats later-- and I understand that there is a "burst mode" I haven't used which takes 2 photos a second until terminated or out of memory.

4) Ergonomics: There are smaller cameras out there, but this will fit if awkwardly in my pants pocket. It is significantly lighter weight than my old camera. Controls are logical and easy to use; they don't get bumped accidentally but aren't hard to adjust on purpose.

5) Settings: There are a multitude of pre-determined settings on this camera; I've just scratched the surface and have been impressed so far. This lets those of us with skills best described as "push here dummy" get better shots under special circumstances-- on the beach, snow scenes, indoor shots, objects in motion. The manual settings are wasted on me, but I understand they are there, too.

6) Zoom: the 4x optical zoom means is more than you'll find most anywhere else (with a few notible exceptions). This camera also has a on-screen icon that will blink at you if there is camera motion that might compromize your shot. I have noticed that I just plain can't hold the camera still enough at maximal zoom to avoid having this warning flash at me. I haven't noticed that snapshot quality was affected, but I suspect that if you blew it up to 8x10 (or perhaps larger) that you might notice it. It does make me wonder if a 3x zoom would have been adequate for my needs, since the odds of me hauling around and using a tripod are virtually nil. I have the digital zoom turned off on the camera; I figure I can crop if I want to after the fact but am starting with a maximal resolution.

7) Memory: get another card. Period. I have a 1 GB card that I've never come close to filling despite setting photoquality at maximum resolution, but I download frequently and haven't used burst mode or video.

8) Photo quality: Great! I can see the individual water drops glisten in mid-air in the shots of my son splashing my husband, colors are rich and accurate. Some shots, especially if I'm using the "kidsnpets" setting, are a little "soft"-- not quite crisp images, but I only notice this when I really blow the image up on my computer screen and I doubt I'd appreciate it otherwise. I think if you are ordering an 8x10 or smaller you wouldn't recognize it at all.

The one thing I liked better about my old canon A95: The rotating LCD display, which was also a bit more visible in bright light (possibly because I could adjust the angle)

I bought this camera through Amazon - via TechNow - and I love it! It takes amazing photos and has all sorts of options that are easy to learn and use. If you are looking for a terrific little camera that you can take anywhere with you, and get great photos, indoors and out, this is the one to buy. And the option of the viewfinder is a great enhancement for sunny days when the monitor screen is hard to view through. And here is a tip - you can buy this camera right off the shelf at Target for $149.

This camera took one of the best pics which is also one of the best bang for the buck BUT the craftsmanship is next to nothing. bought it just 2 days and have to return it cuz it some function doesn't work, next, the inspector at returning center got the machine not working in front of his face. I must admit this cam take really clear/crisp pics. I had done my research for 4 months before buying this thing so I KNOW WHAT I"M DOING, that's because I like the AA battery functionality it has, but later proved me wrong since it cost 2 batteries for every 200 pics you take. I wouldn't recommend anyone this camera. LOok for lithium or any other longer-life batteries.

I was looking for a solid, dependable point & shoot upgrade from my previous 8 MP digital camera, which blurred my shots too often. I need a camera that is easy to use, and takes good photos suitable for printing, thus the 8 MP minimum requirement. The A590IS turned out to be my choice for several reasons. The Canon reputation, Price, and available add-ons. This camera is selling for $185.00 at our local WalMart in Erie, Pennsylvania. One thing to note is the two Opteka lens made for this model, and sold here at Amazon.con. One Telephoto, and the other a wide angle lens. So if I decide one day to become more involved with photography, I can make some very inexpensive upgrades to this camera. Did I mention this camera has an "EASY" setting ? Yes ! When I don't have the time to show friends or family, that wants to use it, the features of this camera, I just set it to "easy" and hand it to them. The anti shake, image stabilization works great too. There are so many features on this camera, I'm still amazed at the price, and it's been lowered even more since my purchase in October 08. It fits my hands nicely, as it's not too small, but much smaller than a digital SLR. I also bought the PSC-85 Deluxe Case and its perfect match for this model even though the case is not advertised to fit this model. I would recommend this camera to anyone looking for a great point & shoot, at a great price.

My old A series powershot died after 3 years so I decided to get a more powerful camera with better optical zoom than the 3x I had previously. I love this camera for the price. The cameras need to fit the purpose and mine was to have a powerful zoom without losing the ability for video which is why I did not upgrade to a SLR type. I mainly take pictures of my kids. I like the shot to shot speed of this camera and I can get the kids in action while having great clarity, focus and no jitter. I especially like the fact it uses plain AA batteries. I wish the lens cap would attach to the camera but that's a small con to the many pros. I didn't read any instructions and was able to figure out where and how to operate the main functions of picture review, delete, video settings/volume, flash, and ISO within 15 minutes of turning on the camera. The pictures and video is great to view on a computer or tv. I do like the flip out screen because my old one had scratches from being exposed where this screen is protected by closing inward. Modifying zoom while taking video is also a nice feature to have. I am very pleased with this camera and purchase...now I have to find a case.

We bought this camera for my 10 year old son for his birthday. He wanted a "real" camera that he could use. This camera takes great pictures and video. It is easy to use and isn't too complicated like other cameras with several scene shots available. The only issue I have is my son tends to walk around taking video and when he does it drains the battery quickly. I know more my problem than the camera. When the batteries aren't fully charged and you turn the camera on the digital display is blank. I thought it was a problem with the camera but having had this happen several times and replacing the battery I figured it out. He did drop the camera on our wood floors from about 3 1/2 feet and the camera is fine. Being 10 he isn't the most gentle either and the camera seems to be holding up just fine.

Here are my first impressions on SX110 IS:
- Auto mode photos are decent; nothing short of or better than other point and shoots.
- The zoom clearly works. I've always had cams with less than 4x optical zoom before, so this one does show the stark difference. I have been able to click good photos of mountains that are anywhere between 10-30 miles from the point of clicking, while zooming on objects close by shows amazing details of the objects which I have not been able to capture with other lower optical zoom cams.
- Focusing is good. With my previous cameras, I've had a 30% rate of good photos vs. bad ones. With this one I think the number must be above 75%.
- Other shooting modes are excellent. For example, none of the photos I've taken in sepia mode are below average. Surprisingly though the camera lacks the color accent and color swap modes seen on other Powershots.
- Battery life is average. But with spare rechargeable batteries (i.e. a total of 2+2=4), clicking up to 300 photos should be possible.
- Flash is where the only problem I've found yet it. It feels very slow to recharge, and thus taking multiple pics in succession in a short time is difficult.
I'm yet to explore more, and maybe I'll update this once I have done so.

I think overall I would recommend this camera to people.

My review is based on comparison to the CANON S2 IS;

Pros:
Good night images.
Image stabilization is good.
Flash is very good.
Zoom amazing.
Moving object photography is good.
Overall image quality is good.

Cons.
Bulky.
The camera lens cap is not attached...very bad. Therefore can get lost easily.

Easy to use, takes decent pictures. What more are you expecting in a point & shoot? The LCD screen is great, and I like the fact that it has a viewfinder. Too many P & S cameras don't. Viewfinders are great for saving batteries, work better in bright sunlight, and you can actually hold the camera a lot more still than when you're using the usual digicam stance.

Seems to be pretty rugged. My son dropped it when he was getting into the minivan, from a height of about 3ft onto asphalt, got a little scratch on the case, but otherwise works fine.

The biggest complaint I have is that the flash recharge seems really slow.

I purchased this camera as an upgrade from what I call my purse camera. I like to carry a camera absolutely everywhere I go. In the past I've always carried point and shoots but had decided I would prefer a camera that had the ability to go manual. Plus the rotating LCD was such a plus when it came to this department.

When I first purchased the camera I was absolutely ecstatic. I'd heard such raved reviews about the A610 which had recently retired from retail shelves. I got it home and discovered that well, maybe I wasn't so hot a photographer after all. I avoided it for about 6 months before it made itself into the purse after all.

I had the same problem everyone else seemed to have with taking photos indoors. It didn't compare to my 3.2MP HP Photosmart 735. I didn't expect the world but comparable indoor shots to an outdated point and shoot were kind of on my list of great expectations. I actually found out I can shoot video in a scene I can't take a photo in and the video look perfectly fine. It's a better camcorder than a camera sometimes, if it wasn't for the pesky memory limit. And the software freezes upon completion of upload every time.

With the help of imaging software I have come to actually love this camera. I don't mind airbrushing or touching up the color and light settings later on...that's what I do for a living and what I love. It's a workable lighter camera for the professional but I would not advise it for the everyday consumer.

Somewhere in the past month the camera has become severely damaged physically. It went on this crazy trip through the City Museum in Saint Louis (think giant metal playground) and I don't know exactly what happens but on my way home I realized that it was dented badly. I can only imagine what kind of a blow it took. It still works just the same however and functionally I never would have noticed. All of the pictures survived the ordeal.

I am hoping to upgrade in the near future, being that mine now looks like a car wreck, and of course technology progresses. I will still probably look to Canon. This hasn't turned me completely off. Everything has to have it's downers and it's just unfortunate this one has such a huge curve to overcome. I've taken roughly 5,500 images/video with this camera and don't plan on completely setting it out to pasture in it's older age. I'm sure it will accompany me to more "dangerous" places to keep the new guy safe at home.

I have owned several small digital cameras, up until now most of them sony. The Canon IXUS 85 IS is simply the best digital camera i have ever owned. Quality pictures, very user-friendly and an array of fab settings; overall brilliant! I would recommend this camera to anyone; from children to experienced photographers. Canon rules ok :)

I bought this camera to take with me when my DLSR or my super zoom is just too heavy or too bulky to take along. The old saying is that the best camera for the job, is the camera you have!! I did not wish to spend a lot of money but wanted to still have image stablization, control over exposure and aperture, and decent image quality, all while using SD memory cards since I have many. This camera is a reasonable compromise. The images are acceptably crisp and can be made even sharper in post processing, the manual controls work great, and the size certainly allows me to put it into my pocket. If you are looking for a snapshot camera the Canon A590 can certainly produce the goods. I haven't found the slow recycle time of the flash to be a problem and and the rechargeable NiMH batteries I'm using are still going strong after a couple of hundred pictures with about a third being taken with flash. You can adjust the vividness of the color along with the sharpness and the contrast to taste. The exposures seem accurate and exposure conpensation can be used to help with "blown" skies, a problem with many digital cameras, it seems.

Having the memory card located with the batteries certainly saves in manufacturing cost (only a single door) but when I remove the card, sometimes the batteries also fall out, but this isn't really a serious issue - I just have to be careful.

I do wish that this camera had a wider angle lens (maybe 24 mm equivalent in 35 mm camera terms) since there are times I want effects that these wide angle lenses produce. Of course I knew that the camera did not do this when I bought it and many casual users would probably not miss this feature unless they previously had a camera that a lens of this type.

In summary, given this camera's price point, it's an excellent value.

i got the a470 5 years ago it go stollen three year ago and could not find another one to replace it till now i have had several camras and hated half of them i through away because i didnt like them i just now got another A470 i i would recomend it to anyone thanks alot

I have a simple Cannon point and shoot which I love but I was searching for something beyond that. I found this Digital SLR and once I received it, I knew I made the right choice. It has all the niceties of point and shoot with the added bonus of facial recognition, image stabilization, serious zoom in capabilities and a rotating review screen. Basically, it's perfect for the weekend photographer or someone who's just getting into photography. The picture quality is crisp and sharp with easy to use features. I didn't even read the owners manual and I had no problems getting everything set up.
