Отзывы о Цифровой Фотоаппарат Canon PowerShot SX160 IS

This is my second digital camera and found this camera very easy to operate.The pictures were very clear to see on the preview screen. If this had been my first digital camera I would have found it difficult to find certain operations on the camera, since it did not come supplied with a step by step manual.

Pros:
-The optical zoom is really great for a camera of this size and price
-The battery life is very good - I had initially thought that the battery comsumption would be too high, with only 2 batteries (my previous Canon used 4 batteries)
- Many other more that other reviewers have submitted

Con:
-The only one negative thing is that the optical zoom does not work during the video mode. Only the digital zoom works (which is rather useless). But for a camera of this price and size, I can understand.

Note: Buyers from outside of the USA to note. The warranty that comes with it only works in the USA and Canada. This did not matter to me as the one year warranty was not my priority, as Canon usually can last many years.

I've had nothing but a positive experience with this camera. I haven't quite figured out how to use it totally yet, such as how to take lower resolution images and not use up my memory card, but the images I have taken are excellent quality. The batteries and the memory card share the same input area which makes it a bit of a pain getting the card out. I would have designed it so that the memory card could be inserted in a different more easily accessible slot. But other than that, it's a great camera.

Camera was as advertiswed
Was despatched quickly.
very pleased with quality of photos and with service.

Am I missing something? This camera just jumped about $140 in price. In the past few months I was seeing it for about $149 and now Amazon is showing it at $289.

It's a really good camera, but what's with the price jump? I didn't know that Amazon was into gouging.

Do not buy this camera if you are looking for either a great camera or camcorder, buy it as the best micro image recording device available.

As you will find in other reviews, the camera portion is average. What makes this camera stand out is the fact that it will do 1280 X 720, 30 frames PROGRESSIVE! This is simply amazing since this camera is no larger than a box of cigarettes. It is not perfect though. There are few manual controls, e.g. no shutter rate or ISO control, however you do have control over locking ASE and Focus, as well as white balance. Some reviewers have complained about ergonomics, but a small monopod or makeshift grip that attaches to the tripod mount will do the trick. I personally would have preferred a REC button in front of the camera. If I could also make a couple of wishes, I would also ask for an external 1/8" stereo external microphone connector, as well as LANC control that could be used for zoom, focus, record/pause and stop. Finally, low light levels are very noisy.

There are also concerns about battery power. I have been able to go an hour without a charge. Again, it is suggested to buy an extra battery. If you really need to have this camera running continuously, buy the external power adapter. If you need more remote power, buy one of those extra lithium ion external power packs that has an output of 3.5 volts and retrofit a coaxial plug to fit the external power adapter.

Some reviewers are complaining about Canon using the Motion JPEG file format for video. True it is not the best compression format for making small files, but the quality is better than most MPEG 4 or even MPEG 2 file formats. Plus, you get frame by frame editing. To make up for the poor compression, just buy a larger card.

There are also some questions if this camera can support more than a four gigabyte SD card. Yes, but it will need to be a fast SDHC card. This poses its own problems because it is not backwards compatible with SD card readers so you will not be able to use it with any card reader unless it specifically says it is compatible with SDHC. This is not too great of a problem since the camera uses a standard mini USB female connector and XP, Vista, OS X recognize it without additional software.

In my opinion, this has been my answer to a stealth high definition documentary camera. I will find many uses for this camera in the upcoming months. Look for my documentary "Gamer: The chronicles of Evanor" [...] to be released at the end of the year. It will contain footage from this camera.

I gave it a four out of five stars for not adding an external microphone adapter, LANC control, and a few more manual controls. This would have garnered a perfect score from me. I hope Canon is listening.

My wife has had trouble with digital cameras in the past. She found this product easy to use and produces quality pictures.

This cam is an example of superior engineering! It offers so much that you really have to keep it in hands to appreciate its versatility. It retired the DSLR for all home/fun related shooting. It is study, offers decent quality, great lens, superb stabilization and absolutely best exposure! It is easy to carry around, fast nice and ENJOYABLE to no end! Thanks Canon!

The SX100IS is an excellent camera. My fiancé was interested in buying a Canon Digital Rebel but since we have been without a camera for quite some time, we decided to start with something simpler before getting up to speed with a more professional model.
The performance of the SX100IS has been outstanding, excellent image stabilization, even in low light conditions and indoors, the pictures will not be blurry (they may be somewhat dark but not blurry). The fact that the flash will only work when manually lifted up is one of the best assets of the camera! No more need to fight against the annoying pop out flash!
I also need to mention that the camera took a bad fall; it was unintentionally dropped by a close relative. Since I had previously owned a camera that suffered a similar fate and stopped working afterwards, I feared that this camera would suffer the same consequences after the fall. However, to my surprise, the camera kept working with no flaws!
The video quality is very good, with sound, and you can zoom in and zoom out during the recording. The macro works great as well as the manual controls. The camera is flexible enough to use it as a point-and-shoot as well as a professional camera. The zoom is flawless and even at the maximum zoom levels the pictures turn out without blurs! The digital zoom can be turned off therefore minimizing the chances of getting grainy pictures.
I could keep going with a list of good stuff! If there is anything I could criticize is the fact that when you turn the camera on and off the lens makes a slight noise when coming in or out. There is also a slight noise when zooming in or out and I was concerned that would show in the videos, but no, the zoom noise is not apparent.
In summary if you want good optics, great zoom capabilities, flexibility between point-and-shoot and manual features, and an affordable price the SX100IS is for you.

Excellent camera. Great telephoto pics. Can't get better for the money.
Best price on the internet.
Speedy service.

I bought this camera for my daughter who is 10 years old. The camera is sturdy, well designed and simple to use. The digital pictures are of terrific quality and the video is quite impressive. My daughter uses the camera to take pictures and videos of her friends and I help her edit and create special effects for the videos using Vegas Pro 8.

The only thing that I wish this camera had would be a direct connect charger to keep the batteries charged.

In my opinion this is a great camera at a great price.

I needed a better camera for my trip to Panama, especially one that would take decent pictures inside as well as out. This camera was a little intimidating at first as it has lots of functions, but after a little time with my daughter in law, who is a photographer- I found that it is really easy to use for basic picture taking. I learned the basics and will build on that over time. It is a great buy for a great camera.

Canon Powershot E1 10MP Digital Camera with 4x Optical Image Stabilized Zoom (Pink)

I am very disappointed in this camera. I bought it for my daughter for Christmas thinking it would last her several years. It has been 2 1/2 months, She has used it only a few times and the thing is already broken. The lense protector won't close and the zoom lense does not retract all the way. It does not take very good pictures either. What a disappointment. I thought I'd be safe with a canon but won't make that mistake again.

The Cannon A1000 IS camera was just exactly what I needed. In a little over a month, I have taken over 4000 pictures and am most happy with the results. The camera is easy to operate and takes exceptional pictures.

This is a very good camera with many features found on only more expensive cameras. I like haveing AA batteries BUT I am going thru them at a very rapid rate. The camera is only 3 months old and we have not taken 100 pictures yet and I am on my 3rd set of batteries. As soon as I know just how many shots I am getting on aset of batteries, I will be contacting Amazon and/or Canon to try to find out what the problem is.

I am really happy with this camera. It takes great pictures indoors and outdoors. The zoom is great, makes distance pictures look closeup. The colors are really bright and crisp.
Have switched to E-2 Lithium batteries, they last a lot longer than the ones that came with it.

Got this camera to my wife for her art works. This camera has very nice features; high zoom, image stabilization, I was able to get very good images in almost darkness with max zoom and flash from 25'. The regular batteries are a real confidance for me, not to get stuck without batteries just when I need more power, I was going to by the Ricoh R8 which is a great product as well, but because it has a Li-ion custom battery, I have chosen to stick to normal, easy to get batteries, which can be also rechargable if I want. be sure to have on hand some extra batteries if you are going to places which might "make" you take many photos. Even with automatic settings, my wife gets beautiful photos, not to mention the manual settings which can give much more control on the result. I would like if the camera had rubber where the hand grips it like in the Ricoh R8, but this is a minor thing.
I would buy the same one for my self as well.

Canon Powershot SX110IS 9MP Digital Camera with 10x Optical Image Stabilized Zoom (Black)

I took this camera on a 5 week travel trip across the US and got the most amazing photographs; even a professional photographer was impressed with the clarity, especially when we practiced "drive by" photography while speeding down the highway at 70mph. The only drawback is there is no view finder, so after trying to look through the flash attachment a couple of times, I figured out that wasn't going to work. The zoom is great, and I was able to get pictures of prairie dogs that looked like I was inches away from them. It takes great pictures inside without the flash (actually better than with a flash). If you are looking for a point and shoot camera that gives you a taste of zoom, then this is the one for you.

Fine camera. Does every job adequately. I purchased it with the Kingston 1 gb. Digital Flash card, and both have functioned extremely well. The camera is straightforward to use, and if you have used a previous camera, you can step right into this one without any instructions. The software that comes with it is VERY primitive. It does not rotate pictures, for instance, and exporting pictures to send as emails is cumbersome and nonintuitive. You will be glad to use earlier software if you have it. The Kingston Flash card worked without any glitches.

I purchased this for Christmas. I had a Olympus 3MP camera before and was looking for a 9MP or higher and a higher optical zoom. This fit the needs. The photo qualities are very good. However the video quality is not so good. In photo mode, I can zoom in very well and the pictures come out very nicely. For the video, if I donot zoom, the quality is ok, but if I zoom, it is bad.

Also this camera drains the batteries quickly. I am using a pair of rechargeable batteries to feed this. Overall, I like this camera.

This was my first digital camera and some of my main concerns were durability and cost. I was getting ready to go to Australia for 4 months and didn't want to spend too much and chance losing or breaking an expensive camera. So far, one month into my travels, I am very pleased with my purchase. I have dropped the camera onto cement from about 2 feet and it shows no sign of trouble. I find the 5.0 MP plenty and I get good color and clarity. A viewfinder was a must for me, since I knew outdoor photos in the sun were going to be a large part of my collection. There are many times when the sun makes it impossible to see what you are shooting and having the optical viewfinder is great!
I haven't spent too much time experimenting with all the many features, and there are lots, but I have used the macro and taken some spectacular inches-away shots! I have also used the video feature which is fun.
I can't recall if the instructions say to use lithium batteries, but I went through 10 regular batteries before going to lithium and find it a must.
Overall, I love this little camera!

A great camera for the price! I'm still getting used to no viewfinder, but the large 3" display is very nice. It has virtually every setting my SLR 35 mm camera's had. I am using this camera to photograph the night sky for my astronomy class, it works fine with a 15 second exposure and wide angle setting.

This is my tourist-use point and shoot camera that can go into my pocket. Small size was key for me, replacing an old Canon 4MP of about this size. My main interest is stills. I wanted this camera for the unique 10x optical capability, with image stabilization, in this very small package. My secondary interest was brief video clips in special situations. I wanted the HD 16:9 format because I'm migrating everything to HD. No other camera today would do these things.

I delayed buying this camera because I was concerned about the ergonomics. I wear a men's large glove size but have found no problem with the physical placement of controls in relation to hand size. It takes 20 mins of shooting to get comfortable with the control placement, but I think that this is not an issue, as some have suggested.

If your interests are similar to mine, I think that you will be quite happy with this camera, as I am. As a quality check I carefully compared about two dozen still photos taken with the TX-1 with the same shots from a recent Canon SD700, also 7MP, and found the picture quality essentially identical when set to comparable zoom. Apart from the tradeoff's noted here, the camera performs very well.

The trade offs are: you get 10x zoom but a much smaller display and must "open" the display to shoot. That trade off will not be to everyone's taste but if you want more zoom flexibility than most cameras this size offer, then, you, like me, may be happy with it. Also, I don't need the long shooting capability of dedicated HD camcorders or their ability to shoot indoors in dim light. Finally, this camera has a weak flash, weaker than most pocket cameras and if you take a lot of flash pictures it isn't a very good choice. I avoid them whenever possible, so that's ok by me.

I love the 16:9 video format with stereo sound. Files are big, but since I rarely shoot clips longer than 30 seconds, I don't care. I merge, edit, convert all of them to mpeg-4 on my computer and they get small.

In conclusion, if you prefer the features that this camera uniquely offers to the trade-offs, you, like me, will probably be very happy with it. For me there were no negative surprises, just positive ones.

Love my new Power Shot E1. I'm a novice when it comes to digital cameras and find the E1 very user friendly. Takes excellent pictures. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for an inexpensive camera and one that is easy to use.
