Отзывы о Цифровой Фотоаппарат Canon PowerShot SX160 IS

love how it is small and how the camera take pictures. it is a good camera if you are starting to learn how to take photos.

I have searched for Olympus (I had an Olympus before)and Canon and after looking through different reviews, I have chosen the Powershot SX100IS. The reason is that this camera has full automatic functionality, plus many manual settings. As I like to play with shutter time etc. to make beautiful pictures at night using a stand I feel that this is one of the best smaller camera's that can do the tircks I want. It's small (smaller then the Olympus I got) with many options. The first battery pack ran down very quickly and I am now testing Alkaline batteries and will buy a set of type 2300 rechargable batteries to test. Still have to perform a lot more tests and settings, but firt impression is very, very good!!!

I had A510 bought in 2004. I was not satisfied with its low light performance- flash recycle time and the picture quality at 4x zoom. A590 has very few improvement above A510.

Its LCD is bigger, picture quality at 4x zoom is better.Red eye has improved. But flash recycle time and shutter lag and low light performance is not improved. It has image stabilization but its useless.Anyway for $125.00 who will give your more?

Alright. For being my first camera, I liked it at first. The main reason was because it would tell you in understandable english what setting you had it on. Another thing I liked is that when you are looking at the pics, the camera detects what way you are holding the camera, and displays the picture so it's right side up whichever way you are holding it.

Now, what is making me sell the camera and buy a different one is that well, the 5 pixels makes the pictures come out poor. And don't even try to take a scenery picture with this thing. But the main reason is that I have gone through 4 sets of batteries in one day. I wasn't even taking that many pictures, and was turning it off in between. What I think is ridiculous is that it doesn't even come with a charger, which was a very poor choice for Canon to make. One more downfall is that the display screen is a little small, it doesn't bother me that much, but I know for some people it would be a big deal.

Right now I am looking at the HP digita cameras, and they are all looking promising!

I read reviews on quite a few cameras before purchasing this one, so I had high hopes that it would live up to my expectations. My usual camera of choice is a Canon digital SLR, but I wanted a small point-and-shoot digital for times when I can't carry my big camera around.

This camera is okay. The photos taken indoors with flash are often dark and a bit grainy, especially if the zoom is used at all. I'm rarely happy with the way my indoor shots turn out. It does best outdoors - those photos have much better color and brightness. However, in auto mode it does a poor job with moving objects - they always blur. I have to play around a bit with the other modes to see if I can get better action shots with it.

In summary, this camera isn't as good as I hoped, but it's better that having no camera at all.

Love this camera, and the great store it came from, Beach Camera in New
Jersey!

I had been pricing this camera at stores where I live in Southern California,
and the Beach Camera price was far better and I got FREE SHIPPING!

Shipment was quick and easy - I recommend them highly!

This camera is very good. Zoom is very big for semi-professional cameras. The product met my expectations.

Great Camera, easy to use. Purchased it for older family member for ease of use! Highly recommended.

Pleased with the camera overall. I had a Kodak Easyshare camera and I think the pictures from it were more clear, crisp and bright. This one is good, but not quite as over all quality as the Kodak. On the plus side, the batteries last probably 3X's as long. I chose not buy a Kodak again because the zoom lens froze up on the one that I had and from researching on-line it appeared that it was a problem that was pretty consitant with the camera.

I bought a Powershot A570 to replace an old A510 and had to send it back. It had full manual controls, which I liked, and it took pretty good pictures, but the the build quality was horrible. The zoom was jerky and it just didn't feel or sound like a very healthy camera.

This SX100, however, is another story. It is solid, the zoom is smooth as can be and the LCD is a lot crisper than the A570. Plus the picture quality even seems a little better.

My only complaint is when you screw a tripod mount to the camera it covers the battery cover. I nearly always use a tripod and I don't store my camera with the batteries in it so when I want to take them out I have to take the tripod mount off too. But this is relatively minor and I'm sure I can get used to it. While it certainly has enough manual controls to be used by the professional, most people will probably just use it as a point and shoot anyway so this wouldn't be much of an issue.

If you are thinking of going with the A570, and you can possibly swing it, I would recommend spending the extra money for the SX100. The trade-off you get in quality is worth it. Most retailers are getting $300 for it, but I bought mine from Adorama for $235 plus shipping. Amazon doesn't seem to have it in stock right now.

I am a dedicated Flickr member and family photographer. I have a bulky Canon DSLR that's getting old. I bought this camera to complement my DSLR because it has features that my old camera does not have, like video, face detect autofocus, and compactness. I love the video because often all I want is a short clip.

I am impressed with the camera. It is packed with features. On the upside, it can manual focus (I was surprised) and do many other things that my DSLR can do. While most features are easy to use, on the downside, I spent some hours reading the thick manual to determine how to do uncommon things like lock the autofocus and exposure. The manual is quite excellent, so I found out what I needed to know. It just took some time.

As compared to an old Canon DSLR, I found the following pros and cons.

PROS:
FULL-FEATURED for a power user
Latest DIGIC III processor
Compact
Video
Price (especially on Amazon)

CONS:
1-2 second lagtimes
Sensor noise is noticeable for ISO 400 and above
Plastic body

The Canon SX 100 will be my everyday camera to photography family and take in the car whereever I go.

If you are interested, I posted a few shots on this Amazon website. I hope they show up.

BACKGROUND:
This camera replaced our older Canon A70 (3.2 megapixels) which was, in most respects, an older version of the A540. The 540 upgraded us to 6 megapixels, 4x optical zoom (instead of 3x), more options for manual exposure control, a larger LCD screen and only half the batteries (two AA instead of 4 AA) for less weight and a smaller, lighter camera casing.

GENERAL REVIEW:
We've used the A540 for about 3 months and it is as good as I expected. Even with only two batteries the battery life has actually been as good or better than our older A70 that required four batteries. (We compared battery life using the same generic NiMH AA rechargeables from our A70.) As with our older A70, we have a significant amount of control over the A540's exposure settings. My wife most often uses the simple point-and-shoot full-auto mode while I tend jump between various auto and manual settings depending on the shot. We also make great use of the video recording feature -- quite nice when a full-on video camera is not handy. [...].

PROS:
- Impressive number of exposure options for advanced users.
- Operates on standard AA batteries.
- Battery life is very good even when using flash and LCD screen.
- Optical viewfinder in addition to LCD means you can turn off LCD to save battery life or to make camera use less distracting in a dark room.
- Highly-rated for image quality.
- Can add (some) additional lenses and/or filters if desired using a lens adapter.

CONS:
- Can only use SD memory cards up to 2GB in size. With memory prices continuing to drop it would be nice to be able to use a 4GB or 8GB card in the camera. This would be especially helpful for recording longer video clips.
- The A540 ships with a tiny 16MB memory card that only holds about 10 default-resolution photos.
- Card slot shares same area as batteries meaning the batteries will be loose when inserting or removing the memory card. Not terrible but I find it annoying compared to our older Canon A70 that had separate areas for batteries and memory card.
- We replaced our older Canon A70 due to problems that developed during it's 3rd year of ownership. The A70 was well-cared for. If we expect the A540 to be similar in other respects to the A70, we have to expect that it ay also develop age-related problems sooner than anticipated. However, we liked the A70 so much that we bought another Canon despite our eventual A70 problems.

I have really enjoyed my new camera, I have never been good at taking pictures, but this camera makes it so easy.

Bought this camera for our 4-year-old. Really, a $100 camera for a 4-year-old? Well, I did not want to spend $85 on Fisher Price Kid Tough Digital Camera - Blue (New Version) that is big and clunky and even though it may be a little tougher, the view screen and picture quality is no match for the Canon PowerShot A470.

I got a nice small camera case and my son has taken great care of this camera. He used it on our recent vacation and he took great pictures. Have created a web site to share his unique outlook on life.

This is a good camera with minimal options, but with great picture quality. The color options were fun for the kid to pick out as well.

Great service and great product. Was for a intro digital photo class, and is perfect especially for cost. Nice to be able to use "normal" aa batts too.

We bought this camera because it was rated best buy from consumer reports. And that it is! It is awesome and very easy to use. Although it uses AA batteries, the life is very long - we did not expect that, but we can shoot about 500 8mb pictures w/ one set of batteries. The flash is a little cumbersome - because you have to manually lift it, however we have found that many times the pictures come out better w/o the flash anyway. I would highly recommend this camera to anyone.

I bought this camera after extensive research. I needed a camera that is easy enough to be used by my family members, and at the same time it must allow me to work the manual settings, and with 10x optical zoom.

There are other cameras that might meet the expectations, but they will cost between $40 to $80 more.

I have taken over a thousand shots with the camera in various conditions and I must say that I am very impressed. The lens is so bright that I have taken almost all indoor shots without flash. The 10x optical zoom enables me to take more creative shots. The image quality of the shots are also very good, of course it is not comparable with DSLRs with larger sensors.

For the price of this camera, you cannot get a better deal any where else.

Highly recommended.

Ordered this as a gift for my folks. Clear crisp pictures. Autoshoot mode is great. Image stabilizer works like a charm. Took a picture at a fairly long distance of an AV-8B Harrier hovering over a runway. No blur whatsoever. Great camera.

Camera is ok.. compact, lightweight, but miss some features. it dows not have a viewfinder (you have only the huge lcd screen to see the subject), and i couldn't find where to shoot multiple shots with different EV

Fine instrument for a casual snapshot taker. It's simple, easy to use, reasonably priced and takes good pix. It hasn't all the features of a fancy SLR but it is conveniently sized and it's just right for this household of amateur snapshooters.

I upgraded a 6 year old Canon G1 with the A640. I had been considering purchasing a digital SLR and while this compact cannot replicate all of the features of a DSLR its spec would put some of them to shame.

Having used it for about a month, here are my likes and dislikes.

Dislikes:
The quality of the digital zoom is not really up to much.
Some of the menus can take a while to get used to.
As can the buttons which have multi-functions.
The lack of RAW format for files.
The continuous frame mode could be faster.
Auto-ISO mode can lead to some lower quality images in low light.
Manual focus can be fiddly.
Preview mode can be fiddly, relying on the lens zoom button to zoom in on previews.

Likes:
It takes 4xAA batteries which can be picked up anywhere at low cost.
10MP which compared to my old G1 is a revelation.
Fast lens for a camera of this class, with a good zoom range 35 -140mm.
Excellent macro features.
Fast start up and shut down.
Enough flexibility to be creative in aperture or shutter mode, or let the camera do the work in the many assisted modes.
Spot metering.
Good fold out screen.
The fact that there is also an optical viewfinder for quick shots when you have folded away the lcd screen.
Good software for Mac and PC.
Good manuals - but why are there four of them in different languages.

This is a great camera, that is small enough to be with you at all times but is cheap enough that you do not have to feel precious about it. No need to lug large photo bags with spare lenses, flash guns, filters etc. you can get great shots with this excellent compact. I have used it on PhotoShop on Macs and PCs printing to professional quality Canon ImagePress C1s and both colour reliability and image quality are very impressive for a sub £200 camera.

Whether you are a first time buyer or not, this camera is excellent! It is comfortable to hold, and won't slip out of your hand.

Pros
-Movable LCD which makes self-portraits easy
-Good zoom (digital zoom looks bad in LCD, but if image is focused the picture turns out fine)
-MANY manual options which are quite fun to play with (eg. shutter speed as slow as 15 sec. which can make a shot at night look like one taken during the afternoon, drive feature which takes about three pictures per second as long as the shutter button is depressed in this mode)
-Easy to use Auto functions
-Video editing feature on camera when in playback mode
-The four batteries last very long
-Sensor which detects when you move the camera, allowing LCD to go to a standby mode which will turn back on once camera is moved again (saves battery power)
-Many, many other features

Cons
-Slow zoom on video mode
-Only digital zoom on video mode; low quality video when zoomed in a lot (but good quality when zoomed out all the way)
-High quality pictures (actually a pro, but makes emailing pics as attachments limited because of the 8 MegaPixels)

This camera has lasted me half a year so far and has done nothing but satisfy me while I've owned it. I would DEFINITELY recommend the Powershot A630 to anyone who wants an awesome camera.

The only problem is that this thing REALLY eats batteries. On vacation we went through two Duracell Ultras per day. Worse, I had to listen to the missus whine about it. We tried some fancier batteries that are supposed to last longer, if they actually did last longer it wasn't noticeable.
I'm going to try the canon rechargeable batteries, people seem to like them. It just seems nuts that this camera consumes so much power, but didn't come with a rechargeable, professional grade, battery pack.

(remember that we bought this thing for snapshots AND artful composed shots, and it performs those duties very well.)

This is actually a replacement for one that I dropped in a river. I liked it enough to get an identical one. It is an inexpensive camera useful for activities (like river kayaking) that expose it to damage. A lot of cameras are leaving off the viewfinder. I find that with it, I can compose pictures better, especially in bright light, saves on battery power and is ready sooner after powering up (which also saves on batteries). If it were more water resistant, it would get the extra star.
