Отзывы о Цифровой Фотоаппарат Canon PowerShot SX160 IS

I bought this camera for business use, to take pictures of small objects at very close range (macro mode). The camera does a nice job with this; you can be literally on top of an object and get a clear shot. It goes through batteries like candy though, so I bought rechargeables after the fact.

I have had this camera for a little while now.
Pros: Easy to navigate through menu & functions.
Many different functions for different senarios.
Compact size. Is alot smaller than previous models.
Price was excellent.
Cons: Takes gritty zoom pictures. Other than this I really have enjoyed this camera.

May be I haven't used enough to write review since I bought this camera a month ago. But I used Canon Rebel (big one) with similar function for 5 years. I found this cheaper but newer one is better than old one which is 8 times more expensive back then.
Image stabilizer function is especially working great. I took picture indoor lit not enough. But it came out quite sharp.
If you don't mind a little bigger size, I recommend this camera. No need to spend more money.

After using this camera for a longer period of time, I have a bit more to say about it than my initial review. While I originally touted the manual controls, I found that they were not as useful in real world situations as they were while simply getting to know the camera. This camera performs well in daylight, but shots requiring a flash will drive you nuts because of the long recycle time.

The Good:

* Compact size with great zoom (best feature)
* Great color (in good lighting)
* Flash is easy to control (doesn't fire when you don't want it to, a problem I've had with many other cameras)
* Nice LCD
* Comfortable grip, better than a mid-size pocket camera
* Easy to use
* Manual controls are easier than other compact cameras

The Bad:

* Flash can take up to 10 seconds to recycle, not good for people photos (for example, if you shoot a photo of a friend and find that it needs more light, you pop up the flash and have to wait 10 seconds before you can take another photo. most people find this wait time annoying.)
* Dead batteries leave the lens halfway retracted (making it risky to transport the camera until fresh batteries are installed)
* High ISO is too noisy (common with compact cameras, but I've seen other compacts that do better than this one when it comes to noise)

Overall opinion:

At this price point, the good mostly outweighs the bad here. If you are looking for a camera for travel, this gives you a long zoom, and thus a lot more freedom in what you can shoot, than a standard 3x zoom, without the bulk and weight of larger cameras and DSLRs. If your photography consists of mainly people, at all hours of the day and indoors, you might want to avoid this camera as it will feel too slow to get the shots you want. If your photography does NOT consist of mostly people, then this camera should work great.

The A590IS adds an 'easy' shooting mode but takes away the 'stitch assist' mode though it comes with the software. Also movie mode goes down to 20 frames/sec vs. 30 on a570 when shooting VGA (640x480). Buttons on A590 changed - they look good - but are kind of trigger happy. Also re-designed case on A590 and the placement of the tripod hole makes it hard to level camera. (not a problem with a570) A570 takes 6-7 seconds to recycle the flash (not sure about A590 which does have better resolution on portraits). Opening and closing the battery door seems very hard on both - until you discover the right way of doing it!

I bought this camera because it is large enough to hold on to and has many features of SLR - without the price. So far I have loved using it. It has a few buttons (diaopter) that are a little hard to use because they are small. Over all it makes a great addition to the canon line which I have always loved.

I bought this camera after my hospital decided to go to a digital camera for wound documentation, after polaroid decided to quit making instant film for its cameras. The camera they decided to adopt was this one. I had my doubts, but after having used it, I really started to like it, and bought one for myself. It is compact, uses AA batteries, and has a supermacro feature. The only bad thing is that there is no flash, or I haven't figured out how to use the flash while doing supermacro. Without a tripod, and no flash, not all of the shots could be held still enough in supermacro for sharp shots. I finally figured out how to use a LED pen flashlight to provide enough light for faster shutters peeds in super macro handheld shots. The images are clear and sharp. From Amazon I took advantage of the 2 GB SD card for free. I have yet to fill one up. This is the camera that goes with me all of the time. A great camera for not so much dough for those of us that like macro shots.

So far, I'm really happy with this camera. Great zoom, good low light, uses AA batteries. I accidently hit buttons I don't mean to hit at times, and the 20Xzoom seems to take a few seconds to focus - but may be the operator, not the camera's fault. Still learning how to use it. Very pleased with it and would recommend.

I really like this camera. It doesn't have as much megapixals as a K. brand I owned but I perfer this one. Love the way it's built easy to hold and feels very secure in my hand. Pics are clear and crisp. The zoom is good for the 4x to get better you'll probably have to go up to a bigger camera. This one is small but not tiny so my husband can hold and use just as easily. But it still can fit in my purse. I would recommend this to anyone and I haven't even tried all the modes yet. Cant wait to try the continuos shooting mode at my cousins next rodeo.

the item was purchased as a gift for a first time digital camera owner. the instructions are very clear and precise with pictures that help explain each function of the camera. after seeing some of the pictures taken with the camera one can be truly amazed at what such a small thing can do. crisp clear pictures. zoom in and out. edit pictures on computer after downloading from the camera. lots lots more. great for a beginner and can give you pohtographer quality.

You can ignore any review of a point and shoot camera based entirely on the presence or lack of a viewfinder. There are plenty of cameras with viewfinders and plenty of them without. If you really want a high end Canon with a viewfinder, stop reading and go look at the G9, the S5IS, or the A650. Most people who shoot with this type of camera don't even use them, and for people with strong glasses prescription, like myself, they are so small they are absolutely useless. With a P&S viewfinder, you don't even get the true picture. What's actually going on the sensor is what's on the LCD. The new models are so bright you can see them in almost any light. Most even have way to boost the display if needed. Viewfinders are a nice feature but only one of many.

I have tried out this camera in stores and plan to buy one. The scroll wheel makes it very easy to adjust settings, like to change ISO for example. Ergonomically, it's large and curvy, like a mango, very comfortable to hold, even if you have big hands. The buttons are big and in the right places. It isn't small enough for a shirt pocket, but it is still quite portable. It has a large sensor, which means those pixels are bigger and hold more color information, giving you better pictures. My only gripe is that it doesn't start at 28mm (wide angle); that's not a deal killer, but for indoor, family shooting, I'd prefer Wide to 8x over Normal to 10x. Most people would take 10x over Wide. Teens and Twens looking something sleek & sexy to take clubbing, this isn't it; the SX100 is sensible shoes in a stylish world.

I highly recommend this camera to anyone who wants a easy to use point & shoot that takes great pictures; to anyone who wants a P&S than can do manual/aperture/shutter priority but can live without RAW; to anyone with a touch of arthritis/carpal tunnel or anything else than makes gripping and manual dexterity a challenge; and to those who really want a G9 but can't justify the extra $200.

This is a lot of camera for a little price. It is easy to use and has 2 double AA batteries. This is great while traveling outside the US since you don't need a converter to keep it charged. The batteries last quite awhile. While not among the smallest of digital cameras it is still small enough to carry around and keep in a day bag. the 8mp give you nice sharp photos. Because of the reasonable price I even take it kayaking...stored safely in a water tight box. No worries!

Before buying the camera, I was looking for something that had a high optical zoom. I needed this feature for long range photo shootings. Megapixel wasn't really important to me. I did my research online, and I came across this one. The best thing is that it has an optical zoom like a professional camera, but it's very compact. I also considered in getting a very compact camera such as a sony cybershot, but it didn't have the specs that I wanted. I definitely love this one.

What I really like about this camera is how easy it is to switch it on and take a picture without worrying too much about how it will come out. In almost every case it will be fine, with maybe a bit of manipulation in whatever photo library package you choose (Picasa, free, or Adobe Lightroom that I use).

Only dislike that in the auto setting the flash is on, I normally turn it off straight away to prevent it causing any unwanted problems. The resolution and contrast are fine for later manipulation even if it is a little bit dark.

Great set of features for the price. Takes excellent pictures in adequate light. Small aperture limits zooming in low light, so just keep that in mind; use a tripod in that situation. It could use a smaller image display as this large one uses a lot of power. I highly recommend using the ultimate lithium AA batteries.

This was just reviewed in the Seattle Times as one of the best digital camera bargains for Xmas 2008. As they pointed out it is a bit larger than the credit card cameras you can pack in your pocket, but since I was looking for something to take stills with in my studio, it has turned out to be an excellent buy.

It does eat AA batteries, about one hour of work per set, but rechargeables solve that problem. The interface is very intuitive and the included sw has an excellent GUI. The auto mode, macro setting and delayed shutter are outsanding features.

Excellent for work or play. I use it mostly for work, but it's a great all purpose model. I had the older version of this camera and used it for about 3 years until the display screen gave out, but for the price it can't be beat. Easy to use - easy to hold. Might as well get the 8 GB memory card also, you'll need it

I love this camera! I went on a week long cruise, and took OOOOODLES of pictures, and only used 2 sets of batteries. The only thing I don't like about it is the fact that it doesn't fit in the Aquapac (waterproof bag) camera bag that I bought for it, but I can get a bigger bag, and that problem will be solved! The pictures are sharp, the modes are great, and I love that the power button and the settings button are two different buttons (unlike my last camera!) I'm by FAR not a professional photographer, but my pictures turned out pertty good, if I do say so myself... Another feature I like is the "audio tag" feature. If you're taking a picture of something, and don't think you'll remember who or what is in the picture, you can hit a button, and leave a short reminder of what's in the picture! AMAZING!

I love this camera, great vendor, quick service. This is our second canon so we can both have one on us if we are in different cars. I have a bigger slr canon and this one takes just as good if not better with less hassel than the bigger camera. Gotta love it, quick easy and great pictures. I have recommended it to many of my friends and even a few strangers.

When I first received the Canon PowerShot A590IS for my birthday, I knew I would never receive a gift as nice as this one again. The camera has lots of cool features, including 16x digital zoom and up to a ten-second delay picture. One of my favorite modes is the movie mode. Unlike my previous camera, it has a built-in microphone for movies that will go as long as you want them to.

The only thing I think you should be careful of is the batteries. My father and I realized that regular AA batteries wouldn't last very long. You have to use long lasting, good batteries and I'm always sure to bring extra batteries on a trip.

Want to put the camera into movie mode but don't want to use up the batteries? Press display a few times and the screen will turn black, a handy feature that doesn't drain the batteries.

Overall, the camera is a great choice for future photographers who can't afford a big expensive professional camera. 5 stars!

I just needed a camera for fun..and I have had a Canon before. I didn't like that my old one had a rechargeable battery that didn't last long so I am really happy to find one like my old one that is a million times better in quality and it takes real batteries that LAST!! I LOVE IT!! Takes great pictures and it's super easy to use...comparing it to my old one (which was an Elph), it takes much faster pictures although you do have to hold the shutter button down to take a picture which is annoying to have to tell other people using it. Overall I highly reccommend it..takes great pictures!!!

I have converted from the others to Canon family of cameras. With this one I have found that this particular model gives me so much more lattitude to more with technology as it is packed with this camera. Alot of features and a "great bang for the buck".
I would buy again and recommend to many!

Thank-you

This camera is perfect!, good size, good image quality of photos and their handling is very easy, I recommend 100%!!!

Real value for money camera. A light, "small" compact that gives me some control on exposure when I'm too lazy to lug around the DSLR.

Pros
----
1. View finder - saves battery life
2. AA batteries - no extra camera specific charger; easy to find batteries in emergencies
3. quite small - still fits in a jacket/Bermudas pocket
4. Manual/Av/Tv controls
5. Cheap

Cons
----
1. Av does not blur background much - since sensor size, distance to lens is different from DSLRs, its effectively like 4 to 5x the aperture value. (ie. at widest of f2.6, its more like f13 or more.... )The background just does not blur out unless its quite far from the subject.
2. 35mm at widest and not 28mm which would be ideal.
