Отзывы о Цифровой Фотоаппарат Canon PowerShot SX160 IS

If you're looking for a sturdy and good quality camera at a competitively low price, you're not gonna get much better than this.

I've been into amateur photography for a while, so I've been a great fan of point&shoot cameras such as the Sony Cybershot (For 3 years) and now my four month old Canon Powershot A590IS camera. From the description and price of the product alone, I felt compelled to purchase the PowerShot almost instantly. However being a person who always looks for the best deal, I window-shopped around for a while. As you can guess I eventually made the purchase and can say I am very content with the camera.

Being an amateur at photography, I haven't been too good at getting live-action shots, so the Image Stabilization was good catch for me. However after extensive use of the camera, I must say that and the night scene/portrait shots are the two features I have been fairly disappointed with.

The detail of most shots is superb, but that one particular core feature (image stabilization) is nothing above or less than mediocre.

So out for a rating out of 5:
Overall Performance = 4
Ease of Use = 5

I bought this camera about a month ago, just before our Spring Break 2008 vacation to Virginia Beach, VA.

My earlier camera was (now my 8 year olds personal digital camera) a Fuji Finepix 4x 4mp. Was getting up there in age (almost 5 years of trouble free performance.) Thus I was looking for something with a little more creative control and bigger mp and zoom.

This camera really fit that bill. Keep it in Auto mode and it behaves like a high end point and shoot. Change the settings to time priority / aparture priority or complete manual to take pictures limited by just your own creativity.

The pictures are AWSOME, AWSOME, AWSOME, the vibrancy / detail it captures is way ahead of my Fuji.

Another nifty feature is the onboard movie recorder that can zoom in and out while recording (10x optical) and also record sound :).

This virtually eliminates the need for a separate camcorder... unless you plan to really make home movies, which most of us don't have the time for. If you're anything like us, record movies during a vacation and then don't have the time to transfer those to a DVD or somethign, then this is again the ideal camera, you can upload the vides to youtube or any other site and then share with friends and family.

Uses regular AA batteries, u need to make sure you're carring enough of. Budget for one set (2 AA) for each day of your vacation. Or you can get some rechargables if you want to save some money. My jury is still out on which is better Li-ion or regular AA, both have benefits. with Li-ion you need to remember to charge the battery each night and then carry the charger around anyway, just in case, with regular AA you need to carry a spare set in the bag.

Oh the face detection, range finder and multi point TTL metering as also great features that make this camera the ideal bridge digital between a point and shoot and a DSLR without all the bulk and $$$ associated with a DSLR.

I bought this for the A590IS and it fits perfectly, the quality of the case is very good, it has a belt clip with Velcro that's easy to take on or off and also has a shoulder strap and lanyard for your wrist, i will say it's a little bulky but this is for protecting the camera and i'd say if i dropped it with the camera inside, nothing would break, perfect fit and extra pocket's for batteries and mem cards.

This is a great camera for a point and shoot. The zoom lens is nice but still gets blurry at times. The camera is heavy and made of good quality. The dial is similar to SLR dials so it seems to be a good stepping stone to a SLR. However, the clarity is not quite as good. The nice factor is being able to carry around one camera with the lens attached instead of having to carry around multiple lens, etc. The red eye feature is one of the best I have ever seen. I was able to capture beautiful close up pictures of flowers with vibrant colors, as well as capture fireworks scenes, and sunsets. The features are nice. The camera is easy to use and learn. Seems like a good starting point before a SLR purchase.

I have had both the A570is and the A590is. They are nearly identical. I do like the video modes on the A570is and it is curious that Canon reduced the quality and FPS rating on the video. Other than that, they are both superb cameras for the money. As for the flash issue that people keep reporting about. I don't understand how people expect normal cheap alkalines to be adequate. If you want the batteries to last anytime at all and have a reasonable flash recharge you have to have HIGH capacity rechargeable NiMH batteries in the range of 2400mah. If you do that you will find this camera a pleasure. If you try to cheap out and get by on the crummy alkalines from the drugstore this camera is going to be MISERABLE.

Please do yourself a favor and spend about $20 on a nice set of decent high capacity rechargables and a charger and its advisable to have at least four batteries that way you have an extra set of rechargables in your camera bag at all times. I did this on a trip to India with the A570 and with those high capacity batteries and the extra set on hand I never had problems with flash recharge time.

Otherwise, this is an excellent camera. It takes nice, clean pictures most of the time. Of course, it is not up to DSLR levels but I dont' expect that. At this price though it really is a superb camera. I like mine alot.

I purchased a Canon A470 for my granddaughter on her fourth birthday. I was uncertain whether or not a child of this age could use a digital camera, but she had no trouble at all (except for chopping off heads for the first hour). Very young children can really only point and shoot, and will need help with zoom and other features, but this camera is wonderful for small hands. Its many features will make it useful as the child grows and skills develop. We now have many puppy pictures, but we also have macros of violets growing in the woods as her view of the world expands. I highly recommend starting children with this camera.

Takes clear pictures with great color and clarity. I've owned it about a month and used it during Christmas to take pics and video of kids, etc. Also took it on a trip to visit family/friends. We haven't used many manual settings yet, but only because we haven't had a chance to read the instruction manuals. I'm sure they would be just as easy to use as the rest of the features have been thus far.
I love the fact you can zoom while taking videos.
We use Energizer rechargable AA's and they last for days.
The price I paid here is about $50 less than any store I've found it in.

Just a couple of issues: the most notable is the time it takes before you can snap the next picture. It's sometimes a problem when you want quick shots, but maybe there's a way around it after I read that manual??
It's a little bulky and heavy, but worth it to me for the larger buttons and features than the smaller point-and-shoots. I found a nice compact carrying case made for GPS's that fits it well.
I'm hoping it'll last many years to come!

Canon has replaced this model with a new one ~ minus the viewfinder. LCD screens are nice, but in bright sunlight you need a viewfinder. This camera allows for growth in the shooters skill level. From all the auto modes to manual. This was a birthday present and my daughter was thrilled!!

Small, light, easy to use, with good optics and the very important viewfinder (flat screens in back, however large, are useless in bright sunlight!). Definitely worth the money for the amateur photographer/snapshot photographer.

awesome camera...love taking video and pictures with ease. uploading to my mac's iphoto is so easy. i made the best choice EVER with this camera... but then, it is a CANON and they're the best!!

First of all, I just wanted to say that this is a very reliable camera and product from Canon. The handling of the camera is very user-friendly and I found taking pictures a snap. I did try using the newer version of this model only to want to come back to this one. Definitely a good camera for not-so professional camera users as myself.

This is my first digital camera. I bought it for $90, after a lot of research, and I must say it's well worth the price. I use it primarily to take pictures of items for my online store, and it provides very sharp, bright pictures for that purpose. I find that most pictures do need some color adjustment, which can be done with the software provided. The camera is very easy to use, and the software was easy to install. I love the macro feature for doing close up shots, and power zoom feature is great! The LCD screen is very bright and a good size.

The only complaint I have is that the color of the camera reflects off the shiny surface of the items that I photograph, which is my fault, because I just had to have the orange model! If you're taking pictures of shiny pieces of jewelry, glass, etc., buy the silver camera.

All in all, I'm incredibly pleased with the Canon Powershot A470. It definitely lives up to the Canon name.

This is my very first digital camera. My husband has one, but very complicated to use, although he can understand it, I can't! So, I wanted one that was simple to use and took great photos. Canon PowerShot A470 was my choice. It is very easy to use, I am aged 70 and no problems with acessing the menu. The photos I have taken so far have been clear and of natural colour. The size is just right, I don't really want to carry it around in my pocket, that seems too risky to me, but it will fit in a handbag OK. All said and done, a jolly good camera for me.

This really was a good buy, I can use this for family reunion on a sunday afternoon,or i can use it on the studio at manual nd the resuls are always great.

if you want a camera thats not too big and not too small then get this one. it is the BEST ever! it takes out-of-this-world pictures and high quality videos. this camera can meet all of your photography needs. it even takes great pictures at night. it may be a little on the pricey side, but it is well worth it. trust me and just get it.

Had camera 2/3 wks when I tripped and it fell to the pavement, only fell 2ft and not a heavy fall. Camera still in working order but the black housing is dented and chipped. Thought this odd as all my old Ixus cameras have travelled the world, usually in my pocket and have no marks years later.

So far the images taken are good but still learning how to use it to for the best images. Cd manual too long and not easy to find info quickly.

The camera is super fantastic. It is easy to operate after spending some time with the manual. It takes awsome pictures. The camera is light weight and convenient to carry in your pocket. A great price.

This is my first digital camera and I am not sorry for the purchase. There are SO many features that I'm still using the default selections except that I did select the highest quality for the photos and it takes EXCELLENT photos!

I purchased a 4gb 133x card as the included 32mb would have only held about a dozen high quality images and there's no way it could have held the video's I've been taking. The fact it only comes with a 32mb standard card is no by no means any fault of the camera so no points lost there as some other cameras don't come with a card at all I've discovered in my search.

The fact that the camera came with extra goodies like the cables that some other brands try to sell you separately spoke good of Canon and it even came with good AA batteries, though I suspect I'll be replacing the next set with some Energizer Lithium AA's.

And a hint to any other new users: leave the display screen protector on and don't worry about finger smudges or scratches. :-) They sell those things all over Amazon and other stores but the camera comes with one in place and I have to wonder how many people throw them away only to buy one again later. :-)

I won't bother repeating all the comments below - suffice to say that after a couple of weeks, I am very impressed.

Some follow up info, though. If anyone's looking for a case for the SX1, the Lowepro Apex 100AW is a pretty much perfect fit. Went round quite a few shops trying to find one that the camera would go in, but which would also then fit into a briefcase. At 125mm high (x180L x140W), this one does - just - and will also hold a spare set of batteries.

I have had three Canon Digital cameras over two years & after a few months all of them developed lens problems. The problem starts with a sound as though something has come loose inside, then the picture goes to sepia on screen with massive lag between shots. I really wouldn't advise the Ixus.

lightweight, easy to use and set up. appears to take good quality pictures. the only concern with the camera is that there seems to be a bit of a delay in between taking pictures, meaning if you want to take multiple shots fairly quickly, you may lost the moment waiting for the camera to return to shooting mode after taking a picture. this may be due to user inexperience with this new camera, as I have not thoroughly read the manual/instructions. Other than this, the camera seems to be exactly what I was looking for when making this purchase.

We are very pleased with the function of this Canon Powershot SX110IS 9mp digital camera which we bought several weeks ago. My son has learned how to use more of the camera's functions better than I have since I am still an amateur with digital cameras. The 3 in. LCD screen is great! Videos are of excellent quality. Both inside & outside pictures are also of great quality. The zoom as been fun to play around with and yields detailed results. Review of shot pictures is easy. I am concerned about scratching the LCD screen & know that it could be covered with a pop up shade or plastic screen which we do not have at this point. It takes 2 AA batteries which drain very quickly. After research on the use of this camera and reading reviews, etc., we bought Sanyo Eneloop NiMH rechargeable batteries which are long lasting. We did not buy a fast charger because that is hard on the batteries per reviews. I recommend this camera!

I purchased this camera for its small size and the reputation of this series. Two things I wanted were a viewfinder and the use of 2A cell batteries. The high megapixel rating was not really needed. Lens sharpness is good, not excellent. Color is excellent. All-in-all I am satisfied with the camera (after I went out and bought a larger memory card.)

While this camera does more than just point and shoot, that's the main reason I got it. It's pretty intuitive to use, and although the manual seems very well organized and clearly written, I could pretty much pick it up and use it without any difficulty. A memory card comes with the camera, which is nice, but it has a low capacity, which is not good if you don't think about it before you use it and then run out of memory. However, since this is for office use and there is rarely much need to take more than 20 pictures at a time, it was easy to adjust the size of the photos so the card will hold more. And the pictures were still very good.
