Отзывы о Цифровой Фотоаппарат Canon PowerShot SX160 IS

Bought this for myself for a Christmas gift. UGH. The book that comes with it is a monster and the rate that this camera eats batteries is nothing short of amazing. I can put 2 brand new batteries and they will need to be replaced by the end of the SAME DAY. There are way to change the shutter speed, but as I mentioned before, to get thru and comprehend the user manual, you need to be a graduate from M.I.T.

Camera is nice, but SO NOT worth the amount of frustration.

Bought this camera after sending back a panasonic fz28 which had terrible audio in the video. This camera is great the pictures are good and the video is brilliant. Video playback is choppy on my PC due to the codecs this camera uses for recording so you have to convert them which is a bit of a pain. I use quicktime pro to convert them to mpeg using a high bit rate gives excellent results and playback on my PS3 is flawless. I'd recommend sandisk extreme III memory too as it is very fast which you need for recording video and for quick burst photos. The build quality is easily as good as a DSLR. High recommended after my disappointment with the fz28.

I have this camera for over a year. It is a great camera for routine photography. It is nto for professional jobs but it can take great pictures if used professionally. I bought it for family use and we all are happy with this. The video mode is good as long as you do not use the zoom and do not more the camera to much during making the movie. Again we use it to make small clips of our kids playing in doors. Flash is not very strong and not recommended for indoors unless you have ample light otherwise pictures are grainy. For outside its a great camera.

Great Camera! Worth the $! Great auto features so you never miss that perfect moment. The zoom is amazing!

I love this camera. It takes very sharp pictures and it is easy to use. It is compact enough to take with me wherever I go. It takes excellent pictures in poor lighting conditions. I also like the convenience of using AA batteries as long as I use the rechargeble long-lasting kind then I don't have to worry about short battery-life issues and having to carry bulky/heavy nickel cadmium type batterris that require a special charger. When I travel abroad I rather just carry a couple of extra AA batteries in my pocket or in my backpack instead of bulkier batteries with a corresponding charger. If I lose my batteries they're easier and cheaper to replace than the other kinds. I do recommend a simple carrying case to keep it protected because it does look a little bit fragile. Better to be safe and invest in a carrying case.

I just read a review that said this camera has a long "recycle" time on the flash. It said that you have to wait ten seconds after putting the flash up to use it. I can put the flash up and immediately take a picture with it. I don't know if I am doing anything different, but it works for me. Also, I have never had problem with low light shooting. I have been able to get quite a few nice pictures in low light with this camera.

I purchased this camera before a big trip and only had a short period of time to get use to it. I found it great to work with, the zoom is fabulous and the pictures are crisp and clear. Yes, it does take some time between shots espically with the flash but the quaility is worth it.

I bought this camera for work a few years ago. It takes excellent photos every time, with the exception of moving targets like my daughter. That is true with every camera though. I would highly recommend this camera for the price. It is also very easy to use. My wife and I like it so much that we use it instead of the more expensive Sony Cybershot we have at home. Buy this one with confidence.

BTW....Beware of Canon videocameras though! Warranty is worthless!

Great shots, easy to use. Able to take dramatic, detailed photos. We have a close-up of a bumble bee gathering honey. You can see the lace of the wings, the fuzzy edges of the black & yellow stripes, and the fuzzle-stuff on the legs. Totally Awesome!

After researching affordable, good digital camera's for months on end, I finally decided to buy this camera. So far, I have not been disappointed with my choice. The pictures come out crystal clear which is primarily what I was concerned about in a digital camera. You're able to record videos on it as well, and there are a decent amount of features that come with it. The camera comes with software, a memory card that can hold about 10 photos (buying another memory card along with the camera is a good idea), and batteries. If your looking for a digital camera that's not too techie and sophisticated and can take excellent pictures all for under a $100 then go for this baby. You won't regret it.

In this new age of HD digi cams, this one does not promise much. But if you plan to get a good deal on a gift and assured quality, Canon Powershot A1000IS is really a great buy.

I would generally recommend this product for a person who does not want a HD immediately but still wants a good camera with good picture quality and auto focus

Bought the SX10IS recently. Had done a lot of research prior to this decision as I was really conflicted whether to invest in a DSLR or a prosumer camera. In the end, given my usage, I think I made a very wise decision.

The range of this camera is fantastic. Like most canon products it is very technologically advanced and it did take some time to figure out options. It probably has more than I will ever use.

Got some good results in very low lighting and it was not as large or heavy as I expected it to be. The zoom lense is simply unbelievable but a tripod is required for really exploring the distance.

This is second camera and again a Canon. I had waited for Digital tech to reach a point where it becomes worth investing. This camera fit the price, quality and feature equation perfectly. In my view, its a better buy than an entry level DSLR.

I bought the SX1 instead of SX10 because it had the HD capability. Unfortunately, the HD movie looks fragmented. I tried 3 different memory cards, but the HD movies still look fragmented/jerky. It is not worth paying 200$ more for the poor HD feature. I will return the SX1 and get the SX10 instead; it takes the same great pictures and is 200$ less.

Although I purchased this kit for the Powershop A620 sometime ago, I am now using it
for the Powershot A1000IS. The new camera is smaller so there is more room in the
case now. The charger really came in handy for trips outside the U.S.

I'm a Canon fan, no doubt about it -- and this camera is yet another reason why. Canon continues to make high quality cameras, packed with features, for a reasonable price. I previously owned a Digital Rebel SLR (300D) and a pocket Powershot S410. The S410 was starting to show its age, and I was tired of dragging out the big 'ole SLR just to take a random picture or two here or there. I decided it was time to replace both cameras with a single camera that can offer me a lot of the best features of both of the previous cameras.

The 10x zoom on this camera is fantastic. This is a longer zoom range than I had on my normal "walk-around" SLR lens on my Rebel. It will definitely come in handy when walking around outdoors. The 9mp sensor creates nice quality photos. Yes, the noise level in higher ISO photos can be noticeable, but frankly that is kinda expected in most smaller cameras with smaller sensor sizes -- it's the nature of the beast. The size of the camera is great. Its larger than my S410, but still small enough that I can toss it in my jeans pocket and walk around with it if I want. The screen on the back is huge and quite nice. Its also nice to have a 640x480 @ 30fps movie mode, though I highly doubt I'll use it very often.

I have had this camera for only 1 week and still trying to learn about it, but what I have done so far with it, I love! It's my 4th digital camera in about 17 years, the last 3 were sony's. I decided to try a different brand this time and was sold on the features and reliability of this particular canon model. The only little thing I don't like is that the lens cap is not attached as is with the sony's. I am experimenting with macro photography and this does a great job!

My previous camera - a Canon IXUS suffered water damage on holiday - my water bottle leaked in my bag - and consequently did not work at all. On returning from hols, the natural replacement was the latest Canon IXUS model. It seems OK but am disappointed by the size of the viewing screen which is somewhat smaller than my previous camera. In hindsight I should have done more research before buying a replacement.

Spent LOADS of time researching the newest digital cameras. Settled on this one due to the balance offering of 10x zoom (who's image stabilizers REALLY do work!), 8mp, face detection, video capabilities, ample shooting programs (kids and pets, snow, night snapshot, and stitch assist), all at a reasonable price. I have a Sony handycam that gives me much grief (has 20x zoom and an image stabilizer that deteriorates significantly at it's maximum usage).

Other nice-to-have features on this camera is the camera orientation detection which means it automatically adjusts (re-orients) itself when you want to take taller shots (turning the camera on it's side). In addition to face detection, there is also the face selector which lets you pick a primary face to focus on. Image depth and clarity is amazing at 8mp, provides pictures that more true-to-life and perfect for cropping or enlarging.

Canon's non-proprietary output formats (.JPEG picture format and .AVI video formats) are highly compatiable with every video editing software available, which unlike some Sony products (.VOB video file formats), makes using this camera and it's outputs easy, affordable, flexible, and just plain fun!

My only "gripe" is the memory, which is really two fold (1)that Canon doesn't offer internal backup memory...all images are stored on the meager 16mb memory card (included in the purchase) and (2)that Canon couldn't afford to offer at least a 1GB memory card included with purchase. The 16mb only holds 3-4 images (depending on your subject complexity). I plan to maximize this little camera's capabilities, not just for still images but for video as well, so I've opted for the maximum available memory of the new 16GB SDHC Class 6 memory card. At the very least, one will need to purchase at least a 1GB, otherwise you will need to stay close to your computer to clean your card after every 4 shots.

Overall, the camera is super easy to use (both on the front end and on the back end) and when one wants to take spur-of-the-moment shots, this camera is johnny-on-the-spot. Would recommend this camera with the caveat that the purchaser will absolutely need to know the total cost includes the additional purchase of a more substantial memory card.

I've had this camera for a few days, and already I love it. The points that have charmed me so far:

1- very low shutter lag. you can take a picture quickly, and capture exactly the scene you want (not the scene 2 to 5 seconds after you point your camera).

2- takes standard AA rechargeable batteries. also, you can turn off the LCD and use the old school view finder to save battery power in a pinch.

3- the 'print' button is programmable, so you can use it for a variety of other functions (useful to me because I almost never plug my camera directly into a printer).

4- the whole design of the camera is intuitive and easy to use.

The only less-than-stellar aspect of this camera is its size. It's not bulky, but there are much tinier cameras in this class on the market. I wasn't quite prepared to remove a star for that, though, as a reduction in size would likely mean an increase in price. I think the trade-off is fine.

Overall, I highly recommend this camera for point-and-shoot purposes. It's easily my favorite of the ~5 digital cameras I've owned over the years.

This review is a critique of Amazon's change in the way it delivers items to the purchaser. I selected the super saver option and the item has historically arrived within 5 business days. Typically less. I ordered this item and it has been two weeks and it still has not arrived. Amazon needs to communicate changes to shipping policies and not let me find out by items not showing up in a timely manner. I will not order from Amazon if that is what is going on and I recoment that you purchase elsewhere.

If you want a camera that you can just point and shoot, this is it. Canon cameras are wonderful. This is the 5th Canon camera that I have purchased. Some of the purchases were for my daughters. Everyone loves their Canons.

This camera in particular takes really sharp pictures on the auto setting. You have a choice of 3 manual flash settings if you like to use them, a 10x zoom and a 40x digital zoom, a 3" LCD screen, image stabilization and it uses AA batteries which you can find in just about any store if you need to purchase new ones.

The software works great with Windows operating systems. The Easy Photo software makes editing pictures easy. I love it most of all.

I would recommend this camera for anyone.

I love this camera. I'm just a point and shooter but am having a great time learning how to use the more advanced features that this camera has to offer.

It takes great pics with the auto setting but I have been using the "P" program mode with the "my colors" set to vivid to get great pics of the fall foliage.

The video feature also works great and records sound as well.

You can spend thousands on a digicam but for the casual photographer like myself, this camera rocks. And at a price almost anyone can afford.

Oh yea, the macro feature on this camera is fun to play with getting great close up pics of things like flowers, close ups of abe's face on a five dollar bill, etc.....

The 32 MB card that comes with the camera can only take 8 pics at the highest resolution, so make sure you get at least a 1 gig card. The price of the SDHC (high capacity) cards at Amazon were so inexpensive that I bought a 4 gig Sandisk Ultra II card for an extra[...]

I also bought the genuine Canon carrying case for another [...]. It has a belt loop which makes it easy to carry around.

For the money, the Canon A590is is an awesome value. Highly recommended.

The A590IS is the 8-MP sibling of the 7-Megapixel 570IS. I've played with both, and at an almost equal price, the 590 is the way to go.

- "Automatic" mode makes it easy as pie for point-and-shoot. Photo novices will find the Automatic -- and above that, Easy -- modes a welcome way to "just take the picture already!". The auto-focus, facial recognition, and adjustment features all respond quickly at half-depress... lining up a great shot is simple and quick.
- "Manual" mode gives you reign over everything about the photo, from the white balance, to the aperture, flash output, and even the part of the screen it uses to calculate gamma compensation. When you've got time to make the picture turn out just right, this little camera won't disappoint.
- The lens isn't half bad either, giving you focus-adjustment down to 2 inches from the end of the lens, and incremental up to 10 feet.

As with most new Digital Cameras, the viewfinder has been long-since replaced by the back LCD, which provides a helpful and adjustable HUD. The color spectral graphs are especially nice to have on-hand if you're worried about balancing multiple shots against each other.

The only cons are inherent in the design: the viewfinder and flash are almost useless when the camera is fitted with an optional lens hood / adapter. The buttons and dial adjustments are also small, so it pays to familiarize yourself with the user interface.

All in all, a fantastic camera for the price. Image stabilization, a 4x zoom, optional attachments, and a trim pricetag make this a great deal for anyone looking to upgrade to a non-SLR picture snapper.
