Отзывы о Цифровой Фотоаппарат Canon PowerShot SX160 IS

First off, the 8 mp advertised is quite inacurate. The pictures are hazy and the sharpness of the images are horrible! The flash stays on and distracts the person/animal that you are snapping a shot of. The shutter speed is slower than advertised. More minor details that also bother me:

The plastic has a cheap feel, the battery compartment WILL NOT LAST. The door holding the batteries in is barely strong enough. The plastic is so flimsy that it will break soon. The worst part of the camera to me is, to remove the SD card you must open the battery compartment, which resets the time and date. So, everytime you remove the SD card you have to reset the time and date which is NOT good for quick shots or battery life. The battery life is not good on this camera. I bought this model for the good reviews, I should have made my decision based on the the Cons instead of the Pros.

I just used this camera for a trip with my family. It handled over 275 shots (many with flash) on two little AA batteries. Very impressive. Great zoom action and with 10MP I am sure I will get nice prints and enlargements if needed.

It is a bit "heavier" than your typical pocket camera (due to the AAs) but you can't beat the convenience or tools for the price.

Highly recommend!

Pretty awesome camera for the price. Its really hard to find a good automatic camera with this many features. Definitely not the point and shoot regular camera. This is for people who want awesome quality.

This dedicated case from Canon is a nicely 'tailored' fit (very snug) and is a good buy. It is lightly padded with a card insert in the back to help protect the LCD screen. There is undoubtedly NO room for spare batteries, it was probably designed for those that use relatively long life alkaline batteries and are prepared to be inconvenienced when they run out. However for those wise owls that prefer to use NiMh rechargeables (which have a somewhat random usage duration) and wish to pack spare batteries you could consider a slightly larger case which has space for batteries such as those available from Samsonite/Hama or GEM.

I was throroughly impressed with the quality pictures this camera took. I went on a vacation and was wanting a compact camera with considerable optical zoom. This camera was exactly that. Plus, it takes good indoor shots as well.

As with every Canon, it also takes excellent video. I took several videos and was also very pleased with how they turned out. A couple of notes about this product before you buy it though:

(1) The flash does not come up automatically. This may not seem like much, but sometimes when you're inside on AUTO and the flash doesn't go off because you forgot to flip it up, it is slighly frustrating.

(2) It takes only 2 AA batteries. This is good and bad. Some previous camera with similar size and feature that I have had took 4 AA batteries and lasted longer. This one takes only two and the battery life really just isn't that great. And not having a viewfinder option to allow you to switch off the screen is unfortunate also.

(3) It has some excellent electronic features too. Being able to remove red eye in a photo in the camera right after taking it was great. I was amazed at how well it worked.

In summary, this camera takes great pictures, but the batteries die fast so make sure you keep a couple of extra ones close by.

Performed as expected. I especially like the battery in this camera since I do a lot of traveling and biking. I do not have to take a charger and replacements are easy to find. The life of the battery also seems to be quite good.

The telephoto is adequate, though I would rather have a 6X-10X optical.

The range of settings are more then I need. I believe someone who needs controls for their pictures would be satisfied with this camera.

The camera is a nice size, though not as small as some, and has a firm steady feel when shooting.

Have used the video only once but it seems adequate for my use.

I've used this type of Powershot camera for my work inspecting tanks and pressure vessels for more than 10 years and the smaller, more compact, more feature-laden A590IS continues the string of great inexpensive, durable tools for taking good pictures in difficult lighting and dirty conditions. The optical viewfinder is a big plus and the flash's power always pleasantly surprises. AA batteries are a big convenience; essential Macro works great, and the SD card fits the reader on my HP laptop (CF cards in previous Powershots needed a separate reader). A slightly wider angle lens is my only wish.

I bought this camera for an upcoming vacation. I figured for $100 I could drop it in the water, lose it, etc and not be upset since it was so cheap. When it arrived, I was so surprised to see how great the photos came out, how easy it is to handle and how small it is. I just cannot believe what a great deal this was. Now, I am afraid to lose it! Since other reviews have really hit on the specifics, I will only say that one of the most impressive features is the pet setting. The only digital camera I own (I have 6 now) that could take photos of my cats without that awful white cat eye was my Canon EOS - in a completely different price range. This camera takes photos even in the dark and my cats eyes are beautiful, just as if I took it in bright daylight! What a fantastic deal!

Very versatile camera, even a child could and has operated it. Light weight, great resolution and easy to handle. I would recommend this camera to all my friends and family. We had a Kodak Z740 prior to this one and its LCD screen was damaged although we couldn't understand why or how. Let's hope this one stays around longer.

I have been using the SX10IS for over a month. I will only echo the positive reviews already posted. I'm still in the process of exploring and expermenting with the special features of this camera. The result has been some very excellent and beautiful prints.

The only two negitive things that I find annoying, is the unattached lens cap and the instruction manual. Other reviews mentioned the lens cap problem. I wish there was a better way have this cap less likely to be misplaced. The manual presents a good amount of information in a very compact booklet. After several days of using this manual it broke apart into several loose pages.

I do not have any negitive comments for the camera. I am very happy with the features and operation of this product. I would recomment this camera to anybody that wants the ease of use of a point-and-shoot model and the many features that are available to you for photographic creativity.

Bought the Canon PowerShot A590 for my Mother who needs a camera that is easy to use. This was perfect for her. The Screen lists what mode you are in when the selecter dial at the top is rotated and there is an "easy Selection" on the dial that sets all of the parameters for you. She was taking in-focus photos in minutes. (She could never set the other older camera up to take in focus photos repeatably) I have the powershot 560 at work and was amazed on how simple the functions were and decided this would be perfect for her but they changed models to the A590. I would recommend buying a 4 pack of 2650mAh recharchable NiMH duracells for $10. (You will need a charger as well.) And a larger capacity card. I would recommend a 2Gig card that should only cost you around $8.

I am extremely happy with this camera. Very easy to operate. Love the large screen. Camera is extremely stable and takes amazing pictures. Zoom works great. Shoots awesome clear movies as well.

Only had this a few days and agonised for weeks over which compact digital to go for. I have had a Nikon Coolpix 2100 for 4 years and have found it to be excellent - light, good on batteries, pocket sized takes good pictures.
The A630 is much cheaper than the A640 (which comes in black rather than silver and has 10mp). 8 mp is more than enough for this style of camera. Don't pay the extra - it would be a waste!
The main improvement on my old Nikon is the better quality pics under zoom and flash. Previously the pics became very washed out but the Canon is spot on. Remember this is a compact and not an SLR so don't expect perfection for £130 (not on Amazon). It has a 4x zoom which is better than 99% of the cameras out there at this price and this proves very welcome in the real world.
I noticed the weight of the camera immediately. It is heavier without batteries than most and quite wide but still OK for a strong jacket pocket. 4 x AAs make it even heavier but then the quality build and photo quality make up for this.
The main problem is coming to terms with the complicated menus!! It reminded me of the good old pre digital days of the Pentax K1000. You CAN set everything from "film speed" to aperuture size to shutter speed but it is not easy to work it all out (the manual is written in gibberish!). you can experiment or go to stevesdigicam.com for a clearer explanation of what evrything does. So saying the auto mode is pretty idiot proof. So if it's a point and shoot you want then the Canon is that. If you want total control it is there though it will take a long time to set up a shot!!
Uses SD memory cards - 1GB which is more than enough for normal use (don't forget you'll have to take 4 spare AA batteries with you everywhere) and can be picked up for around £6 now
Another joy is the swivel lcd screen. Makes taking pictures of yourself and partner a lot better because you can actually frame the shot, rather than guessing as for most cameras
In conclusion: heavy, well built, good lens & zoom, high picture quality (but remember it is not a £500 SLR), easy to use on auto, complicated on manual. Happy I bought it for quality but not a true pocket compact and not SLR quality but a great price for what it is.

Now lived with it for 4 months or so and find the general picture quality great. Have mastered some of the more complicated manual settings but still don't find this intuitive enough.
Rechargeable batteries last ages with this - just make sure that you get 2500 as these are more powerful and therefore longerlasting

I took a chance on the TX1 and I am SO GLAD that I did. Just before leaving on an extended cruise I found that my digital camera had some issues so I decided to purchase a new one. Having suffered through dragging around several different kinds of still and video cameras on previous vacations and events, I resolved that whatever I came up with, it had to be extremely portable and not a hindrance to any planned activities. After the frustration of seeing Paris mostly through a video viewfinder a few years ago, I gave up taking video on vacations. But, a side of me still wanted to have HD video available when needed. So, after reading as much as possible about the TX1 on the internet (instructions, reviews, etc) I decided to make a leap of faith. I eventually found a vendor with one available and it arrived just a couple of days before we left for the cruise. Armed with a very fast 8 Gig card and a couple of extra batteries we set off. A couple of days into the cruise I was hooked. I carried it in my pocket the whole trip no matter what I was wearing (except when swimming obviously)! No bag over my shoulder or strap around my neck to get in the way. It was always ready to capture the moment. And capture the moment it did....in high form. I downloaded the photos and video to a laptop several times and we were all IMPRESSED with the high quality of the stills and videos that it captured. There are so many different scene options available to cover any situation that we wanted to capture. The colors of foliage and ocean are vibrant and true. And, when I, in hast, used the wrong settings, I was always able to make a simple correction of the colors in Photo Elements. The detail of the HD video looks great on out 52" HDTV as do the photos. I averaged a hundred still photos and about ten minutes of video per day for twenty days. I found that the battery life was much better than I had expected given some reviews I had seen, but a second battery would be a good investment if you like to take many photos without recharging. (Only about $12 if you look online) Some of the reviewers I have read simply must not have spent any time becoming acquainted with the camera or they expected it to be a "studio" unit because every "short-coming" I found listed in the reviews had a quick and simple solution in the menu settings or with a realistic view of the target audience for this camera. Without any doubt, the TX1 is the best camera I have ever found for my style of use. In summary it is extremely compact and easy to transport while delivering excellent high definition still and video output. But... If I say "I love this thing" one more time to my wife, I'm afraid she will bean me.

a good cam, don't listen to the low light stuff, just learn how to use "M" mode. It's a tool, and ya gotta learn how to use it, read the manual and take lots of test shots. Its big, but that makes it stable, and the view finder lets you use your head as a tripod. Vibrant color setting makes a difference, and IS set to shot makes a difference. Use the highest image quality setting, spend the [...] bucks and get a 8 meg card. Shoot with the lowest ISO you can get away with. I think my pics rival my brother's D50 dslr in quality. The 20x zoom lets you play around and get some cool background/foreground in/out of focus shots. The stereo video is cool too. The wheel thing is fine once you get used to it, would have been better if it was like the sx110, which is also a good cam.

This is an EXCELLENT camera! I highly recommend purchasing it if you're in the market for a Mega Zoom. I just can't say enough about it. It offers several pre-set photo options. The zoom is incredible. Picture quality is also excellent. It feels good in your hands.

I suggest that you study the manual to become familiar with the camera features. It's an easy read. Plan on burning the provided AA batteries becoming familiar with the camera (comparing the manual to actually testing them out on the camera). It's worth investing the time to truly realize the camera's benefits.

I purchased rechargeable AA batteries rather than continually buying traditional alkaline batteries. AA battery vs. a proprietary rechargeable battery was a feature I was looking for in this type of camera. It doesn't burn through the batteries.

Again - it's a great camera for armature or semi-professional photographers. Good luck!

This camera has been a joy to have. You can take great pictures with auto set and fantastic pictures with the manual controls. This is a great starter camera for the money.

Use the camera for my hiking adventures and it has never failed me yet. Camera is solid built, easy to handle and the rotating LCD screen is fantastic!

I have had this camera for a couple of weeks. I wish I could sent it back. I don't like the swingout LCD. It is always in the way. (even on a tripod.) And you can't see through the viewfinder very well. AND it eats batteries faster than anything. I had a Nikon D40, and have a Kodak Easy Share 712 and NEITHER ate so much power. I am taking pictures for a wedding and I don't want to change batteries every 75 or so pictures. (these are rechargable).
This camera has more settings than even the Nikon D40.
Just not happy with it. That swinging LCD is trouble.

When we purchased this canon power shot we had done so after shopping it and checking out reviews on line. We found that the 9 mp and 10 x zoom was more powerful than the camera we had and were replacing. well we have used it now and it is wonderful. the pictures are crisp, clear, vibrant colors. the zoom is more powerful than we thought it would be. the only thing that is an issue is when using the flash to take pictures of our bird, the flashing that happens before the picture is taken hurts their eyes and they run to fly back to their cages.
But over all we love it

This is my second Canon Ixus 9## series. Produces beautiful pictures. The photo stitch feature is amazing and when used properly can create even more spectacular prints.

Would recommend both Canon cameras and this model.

This is a great camera for the price. I have taken tons of pictures in the National Parks, Ski Mountains, Family gettogethers. I would recomend this camera. I have a personal preference not to use the Auto Mode. I set it up for portrait or Landscape most of the time. Great large pictures of blue skys and snow. The large flipout screen is great for taking pictures when you put the camera on a tripod or want to take a night shot and need to set the camera down.

After owning my camera for about 16 months, my camera LCD screen went black. The pictures were black and the camera was useless. I went directly to the Cannon Website and opened a repair. I paid for shipping to them. They actually paid for the repair and they will pay the shipping back to you. In my case worst that would have happend was they tell me it's expensive to fix and they pay to ship it back and I buy a new one. This is the second powershot I have owned, I had a A540 and had no problems with it. I wanted more Mgps.

There are lots of detailed reviews of this product already, with high ratings. This really does speak for itself, so just want to add my own reinforcement to the high 'average' ratings.

This is an exquisitely designed camera, beautifully engineered, flexible and simple to use (with a variety of modes). In a nutshell - fantastic value for money!

Thanks Canon - you certainly CAN.....

After having never owned anything other than a point and shoot digital, I decided to upgrade. I received my camera a few days after Thanksgiving and have really enjoyed its options and possibilities. Although I've had some foopaas, which was not the equipment, but the operator, I've gotten mostly positive results. Of course, I'm still learning and practicing.
The zoom power is what I was looking for - its great. I find the handling of the camera comfortable and easy. I have been using a tripod for some shots which gives it great stability for portraits and nature shots. I took it to a Hank Williams concert and only got blurs. I think I need a bit more practice and understanding of the operation of this camera. If you are just stepping up to a better quality camera with more possibilities than a point and shoot, I recommend this one.

This is my first digital camera and I love it! The pictures are very good quality and the face detection is great as is the motion detecter, with 2 cats and 2 dogs taking pet pictures is difficult and this camera makes it alot easier! Very easy to use, and I'm electronically challenged. You just take it out of the box, it comes with batteries and a memory card so all you have to do is put them in and that's it! Takes very good pictures, even with mid-day glare shinning on the camera lense. If the pics you took outside look dark at first then take the camera inside where there's more even lighting and look at the pics again, it's awesome!
