Отзывы о Цифровой Фотоаппарат Canon PowerShot SX160 IS

I bought the camera for my wife in the begining of the school year, she is a preschool teacher and loves to make collages of the kids and print them on large format photo paper and post or give the parents. This camera exceeded all expectations. Very good quality even indoors in a not well lit class room. The clarity is amazing and she loves the wide angel. Last week she tried the video and we were totally blown away. I mean on a digital camera the pictures are good but video is usually substandard. Not on this camera. It is great. Of course now she is making DVDs of the kids for the year book and she is having a blast. Even the sound pick up is not bad, although she is using a Karaoke box and mic to amplify the sound in the room. Not bad for the price. We haven't even used most of the bells and whistles on this thing but we will.

Just bought one today to replace my Ricoh Caplio R4 that finally packed-in.
My R4 had 7x zoom, which I sadly miss, and wide-angle too.
But fed-up of digital cameras packing-in on me after only 2 years, when previously my old 35mm Olympus had been faithful for 17 years, I decided to go for a really cheap and cheerful one in the A470.

I saw it advertised in Argos for only £49 (sorry Amazon) and looked it up on WHICH? when I got home.
Which gave it a good review so, even though it is slightly bulkier than I'm used to and has only half the zoom, I decided to go for it.

So far the picture quality is far superior to the poor quality I'd unfortunately got used to.
I also like the photo viewer which rotates photos that you have taken vertically so that you always view them the correct way up. NICE TOUCH.

It was extremly easy to use without once referring to the instructions - basically just take it out of the box and start taking pictures.

In summary, it does exactly what it says on the tin and I like it.

These PowerShot "A" cameras are Canon's attempt to deliver the quality and features of its more expensive PowerShot "G" and PowerShot Pro "S" lines (such as full zoom lenses) at a budget price. The results are pretty good. (How do I know? Because I've actually gotten to use all of these cameras. I earn my living at Walt Disney World writing a travel guide, and nearly every day guests ask me to take photos of them with their own cameras, which most often are Canon PowerShots.)

Here's my opinion of the top-selling "A" series cameras:

A580. This 2008 model is an A590IS (see below) without image stabilization and with semi-automatic instead of manual controls. I'd spend the extra bucks for the A590IS, because those two features can make quite a difference.

A650 IS. You can do a lot with this sweet little camera, though it may be more than you need. It has a flip-out LCD panel and the option of manual controls. The shots I've seen from this model look great. Keep your ISO under 800 and you won't get any noise.

A720 IS. This fully-loaded 2007 model has all the toys, including a 6x zoom (35mm film equivalent of 35-210mm), image stabilization, adjustable flash power and optional second-curtain flash. This last feature means you can make the flash fire at the end of a long exposure, instead of the beginning, so moving subjects streak into focus instead of out.

A470. This 2008 camera is great for kids or anyone just looking for a good basic camera. It includes Canon's face detection technology and has a zoom lens, 14 shooting modes and the ability to set exposure compensation, ISO and white balance manually. Plus it looks great, and is a good bargain.

Finally, the A590IS (the camera on this page) is a 2008 upgrade to an older model, the A570IS. The face detection system works a little better than the one on its predecessor, and the new model is slightly rounder and easier to grip. I personally like that it has automatic and manual controls, though I haven't seen anyone using the manual set yet. Overall this camera is a fine performer, a great bargain and I think the best buy of the bunch. I bought one for myself.

This is the best digital camera I have owned hands down. I've had a series of Kodak easyshare point and shoot cameras, a Pentax DSLR, and now this Powershot. This camera is worlds better than any camera I have owned. Pictures turn out crisp and clear, timer feature works incredibly well. Action shots and still shots alike are clear. I love this camera!!!

OK, I admit it. I am just a regular person who has a dream of being a great photographer some day. Well, I think this is the camera that will help me do just that. Right now, I can use easy mode to take totally awesome pictures. I took a zoom picture at the airport to see how it worked, and you can almost read the names on the luggage tags! My pictures out of the airplane window looked professional. And as I figure stuff out, this camera grows with you. It does all kinds of amazing things, so I will never outgrow it. I was afraid I would miss the viewfinder. Not at all. I even forgot it doesn't have one. The screen is better anyway. I have glasses, and no more bumping the viewfinder into my glasses!

Like I said, I'm no expert. I can't go into detail about pixels and all the settings, and camera noise. But I WILL learn! In the meantime, I can still take great pictures. I am soooooo happy.

A tip: Get the black Tamrac bag that goes with it. You'll want it!

I already own another Canon digital but I wanted something with a higher optical zoom. I have been using this for the last few weeks and I love this camera. I noticed that results are much better when you use in manual or program modes. It is not possible to reach the desired results with auto. May be I have not been able to figure that out yet.

I do not like that it is slow when you want to take continuous shots but it is so easy to use anyway. However, 2 AA Batteries do not last much, you always have to carry backups if you are on the road. Good part is that you can find those everywhere.

Overall, I am happy with my cool looking camara.

Very good compact little camera giving sharp pictures and good colour. Excellent zooming eye piece good face recognition software and macro. The card and battery case lid opened accidentally once and looks flimsy. The first camera I purchased, the viewing screen was not working and was replaced by Amazon with no fuss or bother. There was no warning that the battery was running out so a spare is a good idea. Excellent hard leather case.

This is a great camera. Image stabilizer works well -- rarely have a blurry photo. Takes nice video with audio, the zoom works well enough for the built-in lens, and I love the widescreen mode most of all. It may not have the highest megapixels, but high MP count does not equate to quality, and this camera has great photo quality. I have taken many postcard-perfect photos with this camera that everyone asks if they're really pics I took or a professional. It's a fairly hardy camera too, as I've dropped it a couple times and it's held up well.

This is my 3rd Canon PowerShot camera. I used to have the A720 before this one. The A590 IS takes nice pictures, however the battery life is too short and when using the flash light, you have to wait few seconds before you can take another picture. It seems to be an issue for all powershot cameras. When using the video, my previous camera used to display the remaining time left. On this one, there is no way to tell if this is 2mns or 10 mns movie. The speaker is also in a wrong spot, where you grab the camera. Most of the time, you put your finger on it.
Other than that it's a good camera.

Heys guys, this is indeed a sweet camera. Great features which have been covered in other reviews already. This is to simply provide an alternative to applying a filter on the end of this unit. It was not designed to carry one as is. But there is a solution. Amazon does not allow links in these reviews since mine was removed. But the company's name is Lensmate. They do have a website. This company has come to our rescue, knowing how important a protective filter is. So voila! An adapter which will accomodate any 58mm filter or step ring. I bought mine I also got the lens cap and a UV protective filter ring from this company. A god-sent for sure. Now lets get to shooting some serious pictures without the worry of scratching our camera lens.
Cordially, Manny from Tampa

I'm not too demanding. I want to take nice, clear photos and review them on a sizable screen. I want to be able to snap away using the flash often and not have to wait too long with flash availability. I want the total package at a low price and with double A batteries and the SX1101S delivers. When I'm a little more demanding of features and performance, the Canon provides all I ask for. I couldn't be more pleased.

This camera is small and compact, yet it feels like a camera instead of a credit card. It uses two AA batteries that can be purchased anywhere. The camera has many features that you would expect to find on a far more expensive camera. It takes great pictures and is easy to use. It is difficult to see the LCD screen for taking pictures in bright sunlight, but camera shades are made for that purpose. All in all, I would recommend this Canon A470 to everyone. Point, shoot, and enjoy your photos.

This is my first digital camera, and the experience has been very pleasant. I have used 35mm cameras years before purchasing this digital camera. The quality of the photos is very good, in addition, I upgraded the memory and now can take some nice videos. This camera is a great value for the money, I highly recommend it.

This camera is a great deal but does have some pros and cons.The good stuff first a nice big LCD screen,strong flash for a point and shoot,alot of adjustments you find on higher end SLR models,great image stablization.The camera is vey sleek and compact and the 10x zoom is alot better than a 4x zoom on point and shoots that are around $200.The flip-up flash is both good and bad.You have to remeber to flip it up but if you are taking pictures somewhere you shouldn't use a flash all you have to do is leave it down on other cameras you have to find the flash off.Also on the selector wheel a couple of the most used modes (party,kids with pets,night snapshot,landscape and portait) all have their own notch.On the down side no veiwfinder (but this keeps the camera small) ,it is slow between pictures and some of the buttons are a little bit too sleek and you have to use the edge of your finger to push them best.Canon put alot of nice features into a small and inexpenise camera.The camera itself dosen't feel cheap and you would think it would cost much more.Unless you really want to get into photography and buy say a SLR with different lens and pay awhole more look no farther this it the best out there for the money.

No one should pay this price for the camera. I bought this camera from amazon in Dec '08 for $109.88. The price quoted above is insane. Higher even than the mfgr's retail price by about $300. This being said, it's an excellent camera.

I had a Canon camera that was only a couple of years old, go missing. Even though it had a lot more features, I figured that I'd buy a cheap camera to replace it, for now. (Maybe it'll still turn up, if not I may get a fancy camera for a replacement later.)

The old one was 5 Mega pixels, the new one is 7 Mega pixels. What is shocking however, is the amount of improvements that were made in digital cameras, in only a couple of years. While the new camera is relatively cheap, it is vastly better than my old one (and the old one was very highly rated, and from the same manufacturer).

While the old camera would take decent pictures, to get the exposure and colors right, I would always run the pictures through Photoshop's Auto-correct mode, before printing them out. With the new camera, they have somehow improved the electronics so much that every picture looks good straight out of the camera, without any correction in external software. (The external software will further improve on the pictures, but they're pretty good, even without touching them up.)

I don't know if I just lucked out with this particular model of camera, or if every new camera is this good. Anyway, when I need another camera, I'm not going to waste my money on a high end feature loaded camera. I'll just buy another cheap highly rated camera in a couple of years, and by then the advances made will more than outweigh the premium that I'd have to expend to get a loaded camera, now.

All in all, this camera is a great buy, great value, and can't take a bad picture!

I have had a bunch of digital camera's that have treated me right... Sony, Casio and Canon. However this one is has almost everything I would want in a NON-SLR camera.

PRO's
* Excellent camera for the price
* Support SDHC
* Uses standard AA batteries
* Flash hot-shoe
* DIGIC 4 delivers excellent image quality
* Lens is awesome
* Love the rotating screen.
* there's more but those are the main points

CON's
* Little bit bigger and heavier than the market competition camera's but it is not a huge hinderance
* The menu's let you do a lot of cool things but it takes some getting used to and it not the most intuitive.
* Built in flash is crappy but you cant expect the built-in flash to be great. It's good for emergencies.
* As in other reviews the scroll wheel feels a little "off", not enough to be a problem but it could be designed better.

Overall I am very pleased with this camera. I previously bought a Fuji S1000 - 10 Megapixel camera and it was a completely piece of crap compared to this one. I am very glad I returned that and spent the extra money on this one. My father is a pro-photographer and he has always used Canon, even in the film days. I will also stick with Canon from this point on, because it works and works good.

This camera is a very good little camera for the price that I paid for it. Canon usually develops cameras that take good pictures no matter what. I only paid a hundred dollars and am very satisfied with what I received. The only flaw about the camera is the battery and SD Card cover. It's difficult to get open, but if you push it with your thumb a little roughly, it opens right up. I'm very impressed with my photographs and the video is nice for an everyday, candid camera. I would recommend.

I love this little camera, takes up no space at all. Loads of features and quite easy to learn basic features. Most of all fantastic pictures. Make sure you know how to use the most common features before you take it out though.

...heavy and complicated! This camera was on my wish list for quite a long time. It's a gorgeous camera, all the features are amazing but the camera is too heavy and complicated!

It gives you a bunch of buttons and a diverse menu that you will never use. I like the camera, I have tryied many times from a friend and I decided to buy a nikon P80

Nikon is a very comfortable camera in size and features menu. All the features are in a click of a button, easy to understand and the pictures are amazing good as the cannon. Nikon is a little bit cheaper, lite, comes with averything you need if you buy from amazon.

The big difference between this too that I really miss is that cannon has a rotate image when you turn it around and the batteries are AAA. The nikon does not turn the image ( We don't need that anyway) and the battery is rechargeble, but the amazon package comes with an extra one.

So...If you do not need professional camera, and you decide to buy one like that, I would go for NIKON P80.

I hope my enaglish is not that bad! :o) Good luck to you all

CANON POWERSHOT SX101S 10MP DIGITAL CAMERA PHOTOS ARE GREAT, ZOOM IS GREAT BUT THE LENS CAP IS NOT ATTACHED AND IS TOO FLIMSY TO ATTACH WELL. IT KEEPS FALLING OFF AND I ALMOST LOST IT TWICE. THE CAMERA IS TOO HEAVY AND FAR TOO SENSITIVE IN THE HANDLING. YOU HAVE TOO BE VERY CAREFUL HOW YOU HANDLE THE CAMERA BECAUSE IT CAN INADVERTANTLY CHANGE SETTINGS WITHOUT YOU EVEN REALIZING IT. I HAVE ALWAYS BEEN A CANON USER BUT THIS ONE HAS PROVEN TO BE DISAPPOINTING.
I DID NOT REALIZE THESE THINGS BEFORE I BOUGHT CAMERA. I ASSUMED INCORRECTLY THAT THE LENS WOULD AUTOMATICALLY CLOSE WHEN SHUTTING CAMERA OFF. ALSO THE BULKINESS OF CAMERA DID NOT MAKE HANDLING CAMERA EASY.

Canon makes some of the highest quality stuff out there. In addition to this one, I also have a Canon A60 camera made in 2002-2003. It is STILL working great. I would never even consider another brand. I have had to deal with their tech support as well, and I found it to be fantastic.

The A590 has several improvements over the older version including the smaller number of batteries to operate (2 vs 4 for the old one). And of course the picture quality has improved a lot. Photos (especially night shots) are clearer now. It is also faster when saving photos to memory and when focusing, thanks to the newer digital processing unit (DIGIC 3 vs DIGIC 1). The body looks the same as the older version however (which is not a bad thing!).

Just buy it. I cannot recommend this camera enough. :)

I just took 1200 pictures in Western Europe and was able to do many of the things a could do with my large 35mm telephoto equipt film camera. This is not the smallest, but is easy to use and fast. I am really pleased.

I purchased and have been using the Cannon Powershot A590-IS with very good success. I needed photo's of jewelry & gemstones up close with white or black backgrounds, and the Powershot delivered. For the price, I would say it is definitely one of the top 5 best cameras.
Down sides of the camera is that it eats batteries and you will need an AC adaptor plug in to shoot very many images.
Also, for even better jewelry close up's, I recommend buying the additional close up lens but this is not absolutely necessary. The camera will take good close up's just the way it is.
A good bargain for the price. I do recommend.
