Отзывы о Цифровой Фотоаппарат Canon PowerShot SX160 IS

I have been using this for about two weeks. The less than stellar thoughts are around the wait time from flash pic to flash pic. It is no less than a 7 sec wait. this is 2-3 sec longer than the typical compact Powershot smaller cameras SD1100, SD590, etc.

Everything else is all upside. I used it the other day at my daughters soccer game. I sat mid field and took clear close up pics of her in net. Obviously not a regulation size field. 6 yr olds size field.

The movies have been hit or miss on clarity. It is probably a user error as we are still getting to know the camera.

While it is bigger than our previous Canon SD590 it isn't too big. It fit in the pocket of my shorts. I look forward to understanding the manual controls. Also, the playback features are much improved over our previous Canon.

No plans to use the SW as we use Picasa.

After reading other reviews for tis and other cameras, I purchased this over a month ago. I have taken it on trips to Vermont and the coast of Maine and found it to be excellent for scenery. The zoom is great for birds which is one of the reasons I bought it. I am still learning the camera. The auto setting is about all I have used so far. I look forward to taking it to Florida in the fall to photograph the flora and wildlife!
It ia a bit complicated to use but doable.

This is a great purchase. You definitely need to purchase a photo card with more space. I also kept extra AA batteries with me in case, but used the camera for a 2 wk trip & never needed to replace them. The only other thing I would recommend is to find a screen protector, even in the case, mine is now a bit scratched. But I love the large screen, the video footage with sound, the zoom & everything else about this camera. It's also compact so it's easy to carry in your purse or small space. And Amazon shipped it to Hawaii in just a few days.

Had to replace my lost Casio Exilim, which I was very happy with. This one seems to be just as good and easy to use. It has a good sized screen and, most important to me, a view finder. In bright light, e.g. when out skiing, you can't see the screen to take pictures with. I also bought the case that is made for it, and I would not recommend it. It is supposedly made of leather but feels like plastic, and the wrist strap needs to be fed through a hole at the top of the case, which makes it difficult to take a picture. Get an Antler soft leather case from PC World or similar shops - much better all round

A well featured camera with a nice solid feel to it. The zoom is very good (10x normal up to an amazing 40x digital) although it is difficult to hold steady at the higher setting despite having the Image Stability feature, the use of a tripod, or standing the camera on a steady surface, helps greatly.
I managed to get some very clear / sharp images by using the different settings provided, (David Bailey I aint), and downloading the images to a PC couldn't be simpler, you just plug the supplied USB cable into the camera and the computer, and, with the computer running, turn on the camera and all the pictures on the camera that have not you been saved are downloaded for you.
Altogether a very good package for the price

I bought this camera because of the 10x Optical Zoom - there is obviously a great difference to the 3x optical zoom I've been used to - I did however drop from 12mp to the 9mp for this privelage - not noticeable for me but my hard drive is grateful.
Picture quality is very good as expected from Canon the camera is very light and comfortable for general use - the body has a slight plastic feel the weight is all in the lens.
The Canon Powershot is great value general snapshot camera with a very impressive zoom-even with the digital zoom on top (15x), pictures were very clear - no camera shake.

I have been very happy with the PowerShot SX100 IS so far. The camera body feels solid. Controls are fairly intuitive so you can be up and snapping pics in minutes after a quick glance at the manual.

The thing I love most is the zoom. My previous camera only had a 4x zoom so the SX100 gives me 2.5 times that. While the image stabilizing helps, if your going to take several pictures at full zoom, you might want to have a tripod or some other stable surface for the camera to rest on. I was difficult to get a great hand-held clear shot at full zoom.
I have been very happy with the 8MP imaging as well. While it would be nice to have an optical viewfinder, the LCD screen is large and crisp and makes looking at your recent shots a lot of fun! I haven't checked it out with the sun to my back yet so I can't comment on how the LCD looks in bright light.

Like most modern compact cameras, the SX100's Achille's heel is the recharge time before you can snap another flash picture, though it really hasn't been a problem so far.

Over all I am very pleased with the performance of the camera and would definitely recommend it!

I bought this camera about 15 days back. I have used it a couple of times indoors, outdoors and indoors with low-light conditions.
Used correctly, this camera does a great job of taking good quality images. I had to play with the camera for about 15-20 mins to get familiar with it so I could take the best pictures possible. My sister owned a Powershot A530 before this one and i had the same experience with that too.
This camera fits nicely in your jeans pocket and is quite light.
You will need a tripod to take good low-light shots. I have a cat and a rabbit and a 3 yr old nephew - The kids and pets setting really works well to take pictures of them. Generally the few manual settings it does have are good enough for a serious amateur photographer.
One gripe I do have is that with regular AA alkaline batteries the flash recycle time can go up to 8 seconds and the camera is blank and unusable during this time. This of course is a problem with most canon Powershots. The solution I have found is to use batteries made specifically for taking pictures (Duracell makes some) or just use rechargeable NiMH batteries. This works great. Almost down to 1 sec between shots with that.
Overall I'd definitely recommend this camera to anyone. But you have to be a little patient and get used to it first - I think this is true for any good camera out there though.

Bought this camera on behalf of my mum who'd been very disappointed with a similar styled Sony that didn't last two years without breaking.

Having recently lost faith in Sony compacts I thought it was time to give Canon a go. I have always been a fan of Canon - I have a collection of old SLR's and film compacts - and have one of their DSLRs for more professional shots.

Neither myself or my mum have been disappointed with this camera, it has a sturdy build with a quality feel to the finish, good clear screen, beautiful true colours.

I don't know why I ever bought Sonys, I won't be going back. This little camera is an excellant buy.

I haven't used this camera as much as I expected to yet, but it's easy to use and takes care of all the basics. I need a good outdoor performer, so limited my search to devices with optical viewfinders for shooting in bright light situations. Unfortunately, these are becoming increasingly rare as manufacturers eliminate these to make room for larger LCD displays. Consider this factor if you shoot outside on sunny days a lot.

It's an execllent little camera that takes superb snapshots but also offers all sorts of creative possibilities to add your style to your photos. After a couple of months of use I'm still finding new things that it can do (the pdf manuel is nearly 3oo pages long!). Compared to my previous 'Ixus' I particularly like the 'review' button that doesn't switch the camera on while looking at and editing previous shots and the 'face recognition' ehich works well. Movie capabilities are much improved too and easier to use. Great results so far and well recommended.

Takes decent photos for a pocket camera. Seems to over expose when left to its own devices. Claims that battery life is poor are exaggerated. I have lithium batteries in it and have taken over 880 photos and 5 videos with no change in batteries. Timed shutter functions make night photography a breeze.

Amazing little camera! not to compact - if you're looking for a nice small p&c camera that fits inside the pocket and doesn't look like a body anomaly you should probably get another model. I had experience with sd1000 if that's the name, way more compact, but has a very limited manual mode and costs 200$ (aprox.) I've got a590is so I could begin taking photos using it's semi and fully adjustable manual modes and learn about photography, and the price was absolutely unbeatable regarding the quality and functionality of the camera.

Best buy for photography beginners, and a compact camera for the whole family :)

Pros: Great camera, non-understandable low price, manual mode works like a charm - white balance, focus, colors, exposure... nice photos all in all.

Cons: if it counts, not an ultra-compact camera, it's big for majority of pockets.

I'm very satisfied with this camera. I do wish it came with a protective case. Takes pictures right out the box. Easy to use menus. Takes really good indoor pictures. I havn't tried outdoors yet. I suppose viewfinders are a thing of the past. I own a traditional canon camera so I love both. This is a perfect compliment for on the go not so important pictures. But I would use a traditional camera for all my special occasions. There is something about deleting a good photo by accident that really spooks me.

1/16/08 - This was a 5 star camera and all the 5 star reviews are correct, I own it and its great, however there are now cheaper cameras with more advanced features. Like the Canon 880is wide angle (28mm) for $250 or the Canon 890is (35mm) for $200.

Needs case

This is one of the cheapest digital cameras on the market at the moment. It runs on normal AA batteries and comes with a 32 Mb memory card. It has basic functions, including video. It was included in the list of Which? Best Buys for digital cameras.

We purchased it as a spare, next to our digital SLR. It is not designed for award winning photography, but for instant snap shots. It does what is says on the tin. We were pleasantly surprised with the quality of the images and of the video function.

The only downside is that it is quite bulky and although it will fit into a jeans pocket, this would not be too comfortable. Fits perfectly into a decent sized handbag though.

The SX10 is a very good camera. I am still learning some of the advanced features. The Automatic mode works well, but some of the deer pictures work better using other settings due to the low light level when they come out to eat.

The pictures that I took of a water ski show also turned out very good and may become part of the promotional photos for the future.

I bought this camera a few years ago, and it has been a great camera. Extremely durable and simple to use. When I bought it, I was just looking for a camera that took quality pictures, and this does the trick. I bought this for around $[...], so I'm not sure why the price is so high now.

I have been using digital cameras for a while now, & I am impressed with this one. I am a "use to learn" type of person, so I am enjoying finding new options on my camera as I go. I occasionally review my manual if there is something I must know right away, but all in all I really am enjoying learning my way around this camera.

My family and I have gone through so many digital cameras, I can't count them. Previous to digital, I had an old Canon Elph film camera that I loved (and previous to that, an old Canon AF35 from the 80's, which I adored-even though I had several SLRs)), but digital was the way to go for me, as I'm the type of person who will shoot 50-100 shots to get a good one. This camera does it for me except for one feature: when I am viewing pix on the camera, the zoom stays right in the center, I can't wander all over the image as I have been able to do in other Canon cameras, Sony Cybershots, and Olympus cameras. That's it, my only complaint. The nicest thing about this camera for me is that I can take shot after shot with minimal waiting. Two weeks ago, we went to shoot the "Fall Foliage" (that always sounds so pretentious!)up by Flagstaff and my partner said "I can't believe how fast that camera shoots-I've never seen one recover so fast!". Got some really nice shots,even while driving, so the motion thingy works pretty well! I have a 2GB SD card, it's been enough, but I always have a spare in case I'm not able to get to my computer and upload the pix to Costco in a timely fashion. Oh and the battery issue? I have no complaints,when last used, I went through 250+ pictures before they registered as low (Kirkland Alkaline). Part of why I chose this camera is that I can always get/carry batteries if I can't get to a charger, especially overseas. I WILL NOT buy a camera with rechargables!

Although I own several Nikon SLR digital cameras along with numerous lenses, I decided to try out the Canon SX10IS for a recent trip in stead of logging all those heavy lenses along. I was not disappointed. When by chance I came upon a large crowd of parrots devouring tree blossoms in San Francisco, I was able to capture the phenomenon with this camera hand held. Several other professional photographers present expressed envy, since they were crouched in various contortions with their 18-inch lenses on tripods, only to get the same results I did.
The numerous direct-control features on this camera were also a welcome change from the command menu layers one normally will have to content with on most equipment of this type.
But many of the controls and menu items are quite confusing, requiring extensive reading of the manual. In other words, they require a good deal of preparation. They are not naturally logical.
Even so, this is a most capable camera and well worth the price.

as a step below a DSLR you couldn't find a better camera. the photos are absolutely incredible. not a single picture came out with blurring which is a problem my shaking hands have always suffered from! the zoom is superb and combine this with a good set of rechargable AA's and you cannot beat it!

After reading reviews of comparable Sonys, Kodaks and Nikons, and after handling all these brands in camera stores, I selected the Canon. It's easy to use, takes great pictures, and is small enough to carry in a pocket. I bought it to take on vacation, instead of lugging my very nice Canon SLR film rig, with all the lenses, etc. This little Canon does everything my 20-year old SLR can do and more. I'm very pleased.

I bought this camera for a high school student (girl). It fits in most purses and is a good "on the go" camera to take good pics and easily upload to PC.
