Отзывы о Цифровой Фотоаппарат Canon PowerShot SX160 IS

I am a new owner of the A590IS and have found it's battery performance when using Powerx 2700 mah batteries to be quite poor (granted the batteries are well over a year old) I have found that I'm only able to get a few shots off before seeing the low battery indication on the camera, I have Sanyo Eneloop batteries on order as many reviewers have commented on their excellent performance. What has been the experience of others using the Canon A590IS with different Battery types (Lithium, NiMh low discharge rechargeables)? Thanks to all in advance.

I upgraded to the Tx1 from the Canon Powershot S60 and, despite Canon's boatings of new features, have found the still image quality of the two camera to be approximately the same. Where the tx1 comes out on top is in its video quality. In sound, color, focus, etc. the Tx1 takes markedly better quality movies. Additionally, I have been pleased with the ability to zoom in and out while shooting a movie.

Another neat feature of the TX1 is the camera's ability to choose an appropriate ISO speed to minimize blurring. Of course, as always, the faster speed you use, the more noise you get, but there's a fine line between whether blurring/noise is preferable, and the camera (feature activated by pushing the "print" button while shutter is half-way depressed, so yes, may require two hands) is pretty good at making a decision when it comes to this trade-off.

Some people have said that the shape and position of the controls on the TX1 make the camera difficult to operate, and I admit that it took a few days to get used to the vertical design. Although it's possible to use the camera one-handed if you're just taking simple point-and-click photos, as with most camera models, making adjustments requires two hands. The viewscreen is visible even in bright sunlight (unlike the S60), so I haven't bemoaned the lack of of a viewfinder.

Bottom line: a solid camera for its size; recommended for people who mainly take still images but still like to take videos from time to time; enough manual controls for people who do mostly point-and-click photography or who only start making adjustments when not satisfied with what the camera's software chooses. This is not a replacement for a high-powered SRL camera or a normal-sized video camera. But, I have been happy with it and will continue using it for several years....

(Note, I was a little worried about the swivel screen's durability, but I've had the camera for several months and haven't noticed any degradation in way it moves--i.e. getting looser or getting stuck.)

The zoom on this camera is unbelievable. This is an awesome camera with so many features I still have not mastered! I upgraded from a pocket digital that I felt I had outgrown. I love this camera! On the downside, I highly recommend an additional flash if you intend to take night photos. The built in flash works well until about dusk.

I have bought several Canon Powershot cameras over the years, going way back to 35 mm film. The digital cameras are completely user friendly, moderately priced and give you great pictures. I usually wait until the prices come down (after a new model is introduced - maybe the next year or so). The A590IS uses 2 AA batteries (no need to worry about rechargeables - just throw away the used ones, put in GOOD quality batteries, and start clicking). I also bought an inexpensive data card (4 GB)and don't expect to fill it up. I usually download and delete anyway. This camera is a good deal for the novice as well as the more experienced. I always carry it in my car or motorcycle, ready for the photo ops.

This is a very good camera for beginner photographers to learn all about cameras and their different settings , but you won't get photos as good as a dslr camera like the canon rebel xs for example , but it has everything you need and the zoom range is awesome but if youre looking for something more of a professional type i suggest a dslr camera

I don't think I could have found a better camera for this price. It is exactly what I wanted, and even came with batteries and a memory card. Shoots great photos in various lighting situations. I've only had it a couple of weeks, but I am really enjoying it.

I bought this camera as present for my brother and he is enjoying it very much. It is easy to use and the pictures of a good quality.

Seems to be a very good value for the price. Does produce a lot of noise in low light shooting, but gives a wide range of options for adjusting shutter speed and aperture, so you can experiment a bit and get an image that pleases you. Like that it takes regular batteries and seems to have good life for the alkalines that came with it. Not overly small so it's easy to handle, and the controls are pretty straightforward. Overall, B+, and that's good for the price of this camera.

I loved this camera until I dropped it only 12-18 inches to the frozen ground in Vermont. Now it is worthless and I get a "Lens Error-restart camera" message on the LCD screen. Apparently this somethimes occurs without dropping the camera, according to another comment I just read. I Previously I had a Sony point and shoot and that camera was never dropped and simply stopped working. I was told the screen was cracked rendering the camaera unusable. Is there any camera that lasts more than a year?

For a point and shoot, you can't beat the value on this Canon. It is intuitive to use, has an "easy" setting, and produces great resolution in the photos. My wife (not mechanically inclined) is able to take photos that rival professional quality. The video function works great, and you can even zoom while filming, something our previous camera wouldn't do. The only drawback is the long wait for the flash to reset, but that is offset by being able to use rechargeable AA batteries. Would highly recommend this camera. My mom is buying one for my dad this Christmas.

My previous camera was a Samsung digimax--about 4MP, no optical zoom. It just stopped turning on one day(I had not dropped it or damaged it--just stopped). It's apparently a common problem with Samsung.

This camera is amazing. It takes fantastic pictures. It took a picture of my engagement ring perfectly--I will upload a photo if Amazon lets me. Most cameras cannot focus that closely, and the 1 cm(or something like that) distance was what made me splurge for this over the 5MP Canon. The camera has a function so that it can take panoramic pictures(it holds part of the previous picture on screen so you can line it up), it takes large video for a camera, you can set it to turn everything into black and white except for one color--and can even make said color(say, blue) turn into, red, or any other color you like. It takes pictures fairly quickly even when using the flash. I'm impressed with the battery life. I know I've taken well over 100 photos and several videos, and I haven't had to recharge yet(I picked a camera that used AA's so that I could keep a set handy if I was at a wedding or camping and didn't have the time or place to wait for a specialty battery to recharge).

One gripe is that it isn't small enough--I had one of those little cameras before, and I always always got my finger in the shot. This camera is big enough to hold. It's not "cute" and it won't fit in your pocket, but it's got too many features to do that.

My only problem is that I get the "shake" warning a lot, nearly all the time if I turn the flash off(which is my own fault).

I am very impressed with this camera. Something that I didn't know until I bought this, but I believe that I saw in the manual that you can replace the lenses and attach a large flash to it. For me, this is the perfect camera for anyone who wants to work his way into serious photography, or have that option. I think that 8MP is a great size--not many people will ever need to take more than an 8x10. If you want bigger than that, might as well pay a professional. And the camera has a speaker built in. Rather wasteful on space, but it is nice to play back movies with sound. And the greatest novelty of all--you can buy a waterproof case if you want to take it to the beach or in the pool. How sweet is that?

Edit:
I got the camera in November of 2006. Four years later, it stopped taking pictures reliably. It still turns on, but only a fraction of the time that I try to take a picture, nothing happens. My aunt bought one at the same time, and hers has died as well. I'm trying a Kodak C123 for my next camera; it is waterproof to 10 feet, and the entire camera costs less than the waterproof case Cannon makes. I like the look of the Kodak and Nikon pictures more than Cannon. I am really going to miss the flip screen though. I didn't realize how useful it would be when I got the camera, but it is great for self-portraits, taking pictures above a crowd, and showing kids their picture when you want them to pose.

The camera gives you the pictures you want,the battery life is a serious draw back.Canon should have used lithium battery,they got it wrong with this product and i hope steps are taken to correct this short coming.

Great pix in a simple to use camera! Got wonderful zoom pix of petroglyphs in Nevada, that I could never climbed close enough to enjoy.

Now I need to read the manual, and find out what other wonderful magic can be done with this hefty little camera! There are complexities to be discovered!

I bought this camera for my parents, who desperately needed an upgrade.
I have spent some time with the camera in order to teach them how to use it and so far it seems to be a an excellent little camera. Certainly its no DSLR but for the money it has every feature you could want for a point and shoot and takes excellent shots. They had a blast learning about the macro function and how easy it is to use. I am tempted to buy another one for myself to use until I can afford the 50 D.

I bought this camera in January and am very happy with it. I wasn't into photography before but I had to take a still photo class and this was perfect for what I needed. I don't think it's professional quality but it is definitely a step up from any point-and-shoot I've ever used before. I do agree with other reviews that state it has a lot of "noise" at high ISOs but it's still better compared to what I've seen on my older Fuji and Samsung digital cameras.

HOWEVER, I bought this from Amazon in January for $225. I have no idea why it is now almost $700! This is not worth that much money. Please check your prices before you decide to buy this camera! You could probably get one with more megapixels and/or longer zoom for half the price.

I like this camera. I was debating between this camera and 12 MP Canon SLR, and went with this one because it's cheaper and the lens is longer. It has a nice feel to it.

This simple but creative device is the greatest of them all it takes excellent photo regardless of the situation (night/Day).Its multifunctional feature is the exact thing any photographer is looking for .Buy one you won't regret it.

I bought the Canon PowerShot A590 IS camera in Nov. 2008 and I am very pleased with it. Yesterday I took 700+ photos on the AUTO setting outside in sunlight and dappled shade. Every single photo is crystal clear.

My worst complaint is the user guide: "Zoom" is under "Digital Zoom" and "Timer" is under "Self Timer." Since these are its worst features, I give it five stars.

I just completed a scenic trip and brought this Canon A590is along. I also carry a Canon DSLR (XSi). The A590is does a great job of capturing photos in a variety of situations. Easy to use and offers great flexibility with easy access to the various modes. The screen is clear and bright. Uses 2 AA batteries, I got over 350 shots on a pair of rechargeables.

I'd looked for a camera to amateurs, sporadic jobs, hobbies, etc. with some goodies and semi-professional works. When I saw this model, I thought that's my camera. Now I try to know its capabilities, and let me tell you, its a lot. I'll never imagined its versatility and functionality. I like so much, and even learn all about, because its necessary. If you are seemed as me, I recommend you this camera.

The flash of this product is very tedious to set.It is not automatic.

The lens cap provided does not have proper accessory to hang it to the Camera.Not sure, if the product does not provide it or if Amazon didnt provide it.

Otherwise Camera is pretty normal and good like other Canon Digi Cams

This camera does some amazing things. I love it. Not as sleek as the other cameras but i don't care. I'll take it with me where I can. I love the color accent features and takes great videos. Sometimes the format isn't compatible and can't upload to youtube but w/ a couple tries I get it. I love this camera. It was dropped a few times. I am determined to replace it w/ the exact same one. I've had it for a year and a half.

the camera was a great buy the price was lower than everywhere else and it is a great camera for the money.

Love, love, love this camera! It takes great shots and I love its features. Would definitely recommend it!
