Отзывы о Цифровой Фотоаппарат Canon PowerShot SX160 IS

I'm probably just a Canon lover. I don't think you can go wrong with owning one. My 1st Ixus was an APS and it still works. Since then I bought an SLR and a DSLR and now this Digital Ixus to replace a Sony that started to die on me. The new Ixus has great battery life, it is easy to use and the picture quality is brilliant. First real trip out was my step-daughters wedding and it gave great results. The software is fairly basic, but if you're serious about photography you're probably going to buy some decent software anyway.

I would not recommend buying a Cannon Ixus, after just over a year mine failed with a lens error, after searching online I found this is a known fault with the cannon Ixus line. I contacted cannon and they refused to repair it unless I paid a large amount.

How unusual that so many people report the lens error that makes the camera unusable just after a year.

This camera does exactly what I wanted it to do.
I take a lot of pictures at car shows and cruise nights.
Cars are usually packed in tight or up close to a wall or fence
and with my old Canon I could never get the whole car in the shot,
but with this new Canon with the wider angle lens I get the shots I need,
I love it. Plus it is as easy to use as the old Canon.

I have had this camera for several weeks now. Most recently, I captured several shots of a Coopers Hawk enjoying some rodent dinner in a tree in my back yard. Using the 10x optical zoom and the full 9MP I took some of my best photo's ever. I have cropped and enlarged several to 8"x10" and they are stunning. The controls are logical and easy to use. The camera feels good in your hands. The only negative I have is that it chews and spits out standard AA batteries in a very short period of time. Rechargables are the only way to go.

Canon PowerShot A580 Digital Camera -Silver (8.0MP, 4xOptical Zoom) 2.5" LCDI purchased this camera for indoor photography of small objects using flash.I find it easy to use and in the auto mode I can be confident of its focusing.The photographs are crisp and clear,the colours natural.

I've had it about a month, and I couldn't be more thrilled. I coach basketball, and overhead fluorescent lights are a nightmare for photos; I needed some more advanced settings, but I'm basically just above point-and-shoot as a photographer. Canons have always treated me right, and this is my best yet. The settings are easy; the adjustable ISO is a treat for sports photography; the 10X zoom has given me incredible results. Yes, there are a LOT of settings, and curling up with the manual will pay serious dividends, so you might want to do that -- you have a lot of resources with this camera if you take the time to learn how to use it properly. I'm getting the best gym photos EVER with this camera, and I recommend it completely. Just make sure you have plenty of batteries available!

I love this camera. I was able to take pictures in very dark settings without flash by programming the ISO up to 1600. The 10x zoom works very well. The digital zoom gives a somewhat grainy picture, but also works well when it's necessary to use it. The only down side is that it eats batteries at a very fast clip. I purchased Eneloop batteries, which are supposed to last longer, but even they were only good for about 300 pics, where AA's were good for between 150 and 200 pics. The solution, of course, is to carry multiple batteries of any type and recharge often. I've used this camera almost exclusively to take pictures indoors (swim meets, theatre productions, basketball games) where the lighting is not great for picture-taking and where it's not possible to use the flash.

I love my photography and I have the Canon EOS 50d DSLR camera, but as you need a rucksack just to take everything you need out, I wanted a point and shoot for the times you are not going on expedition! I have been a fan of the Canon ixus range ever since my first 2mp digital camera, with good software and ease of use was always my first choice. So after my DSLR I was worried I would have been spoilt, however this camera has the same number of pixels, uses the same processor and has many of the same functions like IS and lots of other useful functions like face recognition. It also has many of the preset modes that the DSLRs have and even has a semi-manual mode if you feel a bit adventurous! Only small criticism is that it's not the smallest camera on the market so doesn't quite so easily fit into your pocket, but then I think it's worth it for all the functionality you get

I love this camera but access to the batteries is tricky and it feels a bit delicate like I might break it.

Still new to me, but a whole lot better, smaller, lighter and cheaper than what I finally left behind.

Great camera for pictures, nice zoom lens, pictures are not as sharp as a DSLR, HD Video is not great, I used Tripod at daylight and still Video is to jerky, was not impressed with the Video, low light is to grainy, was looking for a Hybrid where pictures and Videos are great.
I had more than 20 Canon Cameras, most of them I was very happy with,
Canon PowerShot SX1IS Hybrid Camera not yet what I was looking for,
maybe next model

I was looking for a new camera to replace my Kodak Easy Share that was 10 years old. After a lot of research, I decided to try the Canon and I'm so happy I did. It's very easy to use...it has great results and great pictures. I can't believe the changes in quality and color with this camera. It's definitely worth its price. And downloading the pictures to my computer is a lot easier than using a dock. Plus it's the perfect size for taking with you, but not too small that you can lose it. Great Camera!!

This is a feature packed, good performing camera for what you get in the price-range. I would say its biggest flaw is that it does not support charging the batteries while they are in the camera; and since you do have to regularly remove the batteries to replace or recharge them, the access to the compartment is awkward.

But, for the quality of the pictures and the ease of changing settings for special conditions, this camera makes up for the battery shortcoming, especially for the price.

I purchased this camera to use on a visit to a game reserve in South Africa. This device is far more than a camera for "party pics". A serious photographer would aim higher, though you can capture serious images with the SX10IS. Between those boundaries, I found the convenience, flexibility, and image quality of this camera to be a marvelous combination. At $400 US retail, what a value! I enjoyed the balance and feel of the camera in my hand. The zoom made full frame shots a breeze. The video feature is easy to use, and the image is of very good quality. I took two 8 gig cards. In four days, I almost filled one. I bought a brick of batteries, but changed batteries once. The image stabilization works very well. On the long zooms I used a monopod for additional stability. If you want to shoot five or ten frames per second, spend four times as much. If you're happy to snap every 1.4 seconds, save your money. The microphones work well. They do pick up the sound of the zoom lens operation. I'm gifting one of these cameras to a friend. I find I've taken more pictures in the last month than I have the past year. This camera is great FUN.

I was very disappointed with the auto focussing on the 980IS. I also have an Ixus 750 and IXUS 400 both of which gave a clearer image. I was so disappointed in fact that I assumed that there was a fault on the camera and got a replacement. The new one is better but in my opinion, compared to the other two not as clear.

Would I buy another - No. Would I recommend it to anyone else - No

I bought this camera at Christmas for my kids (12-year-old daughter likes to do "KidTV" videos with friends; 9-year-old son makes stop-motion and live videos of Lego etc. for YouTube). I got it partly because my Canon A95, which in all other respects I *love*, only does 30-second videos; and partly because I got tired of copying VHS-C tapes for them. :-) I picked this model for its combination of price and Canon quality. It has been very useful. Basic modes are very simple to use. The kids have not really explored many of the other options. Image quality is generally excellent. However, early on I did some testing and found that, in addition to the high noise at even low-ish light levels that others have reported, it has some trouble focusing when zoomed (*optical* zoom, not digital). Standing across the room and doing incremental zoom steps on some object, I found that the higher the zoom, the more blurred the image was - not always, but often. This should not happen. It is clearly a focusing issue, not a question of resolution. But the kids have not had any complaints. It appears to be just right for their level of use, and that's what I recommend it for.
Update: When I bought this camera, the price was just over $100. I do not recommend paying much more than that for it.

Goldilocks would have loved this camera. Although it may not have saved her from the bears, it would have certainly met all of her other particular criteria.

I bought this camera direct from Japan a few months ago when its introduction to the US market was delayed, and have not regretted the purchase. (Once I was able to find the menu setting to display in English rather than Kanji...)

Elph sized, this recording device can do any sort of capture you desire to best preserve those special (and mundane) moments. It's not too big (like most Hi-def camcorders). It's not too small (so if you want a spy camera, look elsewhere). Its size is just right - fits in my pocket, my wife's purse, and surreptitiously in one hand when I want to sneak some video I shouldn't be taking.

Functionally, it will record images and videos in every resolution any prosumer could need. For video, you can capture all frame sizes and rates - from full HD (1280, 720p, 30fps) down to 640x480 15fps, both 16:9 and 4:3 ratios. For images, it does everything any other good digital camera does, from 10X *optical* zoom to macro, image stabilization, and "quick settings" for portraits, night shots, even "aquarium lighting." (The 10X optical zoom is awesome, btw - I've never found this on any but the pro/commercial end cameras.) The 7.1Megapixels are plenty for most digital imaging tasks, supporting 8x10 prints indistinguishable from any other higher res images.

I've edited the HD video, and it is very easy to work with - much more so than H.264 video. This is due to the fact that Canon uses motion JPEG compression, which allows each frame to stand on its own (kind of like snapping 30 images per second of 1080x720 pictures - not only can you edit down to the frame level easily, but you can extract a frame as a still image with all quality intact - handy when you want to make a nice picture from some video you've shot).

It is true that for any specific function this camera performs, you can find another gadget out there that does the same function better. But nowhere have I seen one device that handles *all* recording functions (video/image and sound) to the excellent degree that this camera does - you aren't compromising on function here to get the convenience of portability.

The primary advantage of this camera is the fact that it truly does it all. No more do I need to decide in advance whether or not I will want to shoot video on an outing (then deciding wrong and later trying desparately to capture that special live action moment on my 640x480 15fps camera, or worse yet my cell phone!). No matter what moment presents itself, I can capture it in the way best suited to the action. Always. By simply reaching into my pocket.

Wait till you see the HD video of these three angry bears running after me...and no bulky equipment to slow my escape!

I am very pleased with this product. Almost everything about it is exactly what I was expecting. I wanted a camera that had good zoom capabilities without being too bulky, and this one is perfect for that.

I have taken many photos since I received this camera, including many zoomed-in photos. I couldn't believe how clear they turned out!

The only thing I don't like about this camera is that I find it difficult to open the batter/memory card compartment. On my last Canon, the compartment slid open easily. This one opens the same way, however I have to pry and pry to get it to pop fully open.

Overall I would recommend this product.

We purchased this camera for my nine year old as a Christmas gift. And we have yet to be disappointed with it! She is careful with it, but has dropped it a couple of times on a carpeted floor. It is still working great! It only took her a couple of hours of playing with it to figure out all the settings on it and she has been able to take some amazing pictures with it.

When we purchased this camera, we didn't know it also shoots videos! So, I do recommend getting a very large memory card for it. Fortunately we got the 4gb memory card (Sandisk brand--cost us about $10). 500 pictures and 10 videos of varying length later and she has yet to use up the 4gb!

I highly recommend this camera to anyone who desires a great digital camera for an excellent price!

After put the battery i get warnings about bad batteries (brand new batteries fully charge, i test then with a voltimeter) then the lens came out but it never come back to the original posicion, then i get lens error all time, after read about this kind of problem i found is pretty normal, i try everything i saw on the net to fix the problem but nothing, the mechanism is not working.

Bad camera, i dont recomend it.

I cant RMA it because i live on Venezuela and i use a courier to buy it, if i want send it back to amazon is going to cost me the same price that i pay for the product.

Sorry for my english.

The 10.0 megapixel A1000IS is a good camera but nothing that I would consider a massive improvement in everyday 4x6 to 5x7 photo quality over my old Canon Power Shot 2.0 megapixel A40. The video function is improved but that's video -- and it eats memory like a hungry hound. In most pedestrian ways I prefer the A40.

I know both cameras and their functions. I find myself having to manipulate and resize nearly every photo on the A1000 once I download it on the computer - and that's on the lowest quality setting. The red eye is much more prevalent on the A1000 than the A40 and low light is a problem with or without the flash. The A40 was always reliable.

The A40 has 4 shooting modes plus video. The A1000 has eight plus video. In this situation, less is more. The A1000 is a nice camera but it's a simple case of how much do you really need?

Like so many things today, we have too many choices.

Many picture buffs like myself are torn between the weight, expense and size of many digital SLR's, and the increasing power and convenience of the near SLR portables. Hardcore travelers like myself know the convenience of throwing a camera in a case or backpack, and the hassle that the weight, care and feeding of an SLR can pose on such trips.

Fortunately, what I've seen so far is that the high quality of zoom shots is setting a brand new standard with this new camera from Canon. Earlier "super-zoom" models, or those with zooms in excess of 10x or 12x, suffered from image quality problems as long zooms strained the limits of the tiny processors needed to capture light and reduce the effects of vibration. All these negative effects increase exponentially with each increase in zoom power. It used to be that only the large lenses and higher sensitivity power of expensive SLR's solved this problem.

Processor sensitivity has finally caught up with the portable 20x optical zoom. Finally 100mm zoom power, without SLR expense and weight.

I won't take up too much space to say what others have already said. I love this camera. I am not a professional photographer, but I am learning more about photography and consider myself a hobbyist. I love to photograph my dolls that I collect, customize and sew clothes for, and this camera takes the best closeups and macro shots I have ever seen in a point and shoot camera. I purchased an inexpensive tripod to minimize the "shake" for macro shots, and I have had some very clear closeups as a result. It is a truly amazing little camera for the price- I am surprised Canon sells them so cheap!

Just came back from a trip to Disneyworld (the main reason I upgraded to that Canon) and it did not dissapoint me... great pictures outdoors but also very good ones indoors, by night, fireworks, the parade... really good. Thing I can't understand is this .mov movies it records... unable to work with that in Windows Movie Maker and if I convert it from .mov to .avi the quality loses A LOT... and the size of the videos are huge... All in all, I'd buy it again for the pictures but if you're big in making movies, you might consider a camera that records .AVI, like Sony...
