Отзывы о Цифровой Фотоаппарат Canon PowerShot SX160 IS

I've been an serious amateur (if that isn't an oxymornon) photographer since 1955. Four years ago, I went digital with an Olympus 3.2 megapixel Camedia. Love that camera, but started having problems (over-exposure in all modes, and contrast off especially in macro. After six months of study, I decided on the A620, and am moderately happy with my decision.

I should explain that, no matter how much investigating you do, you'll never know if you made the right decision. When I bought the Olympus, the choices were limited to perhaps four 3+ megapixel cameras. Now, with a hundred choices, your chances of getting the ideal camera are slim IF you know digital cameras at all. Sometimes, ignorance is bliss.

A620 pros: Easy to use. Menus are well laid out, though the primary button on the back of the camera could have "easier" more readable buttons. But once you get used to them, they're fine. Love the various special effects that you can add to your pictures. And even the movie mode will give a decent movie if you have a 1 gig card.

The LCD is fantastic, and revolved 180 degrees. Not that I expected to take a self-portrait, but I actually have used the easy-to-see (in most any light) LCD for all kinds of shots.

The viewfinder (a must for those of you who are looking at any digital camera) is good, and off by only a degree or two.

Pictures are sharp and the lens is as good as Olympus Zuiko, and that's going some.

Before I forget, I'd give Canon an A+ on its software. It is downright simple and though I might have to use Thumbs+ or Photoshop for minor tweaking, this software is a snap on layouts and printing. Many who have written about Canon's software call it "weak" or "for beginners only." Well, I'm no beginner, and it's a pleasure to get a composite print or contact sheet set up and printed in 5 minutes.

Portraits and landscapes are excellent. Closeups...see below.

It's fast.

It has the feel of a 35mm camera. It has some weight and it's comfortable.

The zoom is very good.

Cons: Can't turn off flash in Auto mode.

The macro is trickier than the Olympus and doesn't always produce good results. One trick is that you press the shutter button half-way before taking the picture, and you'll get better focus. Half of my pictures are macros, and I've been somewhat disappointed. I think that going to the manual mode is the solution, and that may put off most who go the digital route for more than just point and shoot.

The warning light for using a tripod seemingly comes on 80% of the time. Admittedly, we've had rain in California since I bought the camera, but I have no trouble keeping the camera steady and, in low light suituations, letting the flash do the rest.

I'd recommend the camera, but if you're looking for one that you can just tuck in your shirt pocket, this isn't for you.

I've only had this camera for a month, but I find myself using it more than I did my last one. I love the convenience of being able to use regular AA batteries. Another reviewer said it uses up the batteries fast and he was right! Luckily, I was expecting it and carried extras around while on vacation. I am not the best person with a camera and still take blurry shots, but I do manage to take some good pictures. Overall, I am very happy with it.

Easy to use, but also has options for macro, flash, aperture and shutter priority.

Range within each option is limited but will cover typical needs for a snapshot camera.

Quality is great except in low light. High ISO is almost useless.

This camera was recommended by a friend also looking for a point & shoot digital camera with a good zoom. I have been very pleased with the pictures taken so far. Camera is easy to use & I have been able to get great action pics of my kids. Zoom has also been great to capture kids in sports, etc. Even took pics in a low light setting with great results. Highly recommended for people who don't want to mess with lots of settings.

Great camera for the money. Huge LCD screen. I would highly recommend this camera to anyone looking for a digital camera that is not so costly. Great buy and great camera.

I really enjoy my new camera. It's my first digital camera. There are a lot of options on it I am not utilizing but it's great for just taking pictures and that's why I bought it! I like the 10x optical zoom and the clear pictures.

I'm not a professional photographer or even a serious amateur, though I do take thousands of photos. I bought the A620 about 8 months ago because I wanted something small but good to go along with my much larger new Nikon D50. Both cameras were replacing an old 3 MP Fujifilm and a Minolta film SLR. We took the A620 and the D50 on a major trip to the Canadian Rockies and several U.S. national parks. The D50 was my "default" camera on the trip--frankly, I was afraid to "risk" the shots on the A620, especially since there were many times when I needed a wider-angle lens than the A620 provides. Then, one afternoon, at the top of a mountain in Jasper with a spectacular panoramic view, the D50's battery ran down. I was crestfallen, forced to use the A620. For the rest of the afternoon, I worried and fretted about how one of the major highlights of our trip wouldn't be captured as well by the A620. Well, to make a long story short, several weeks later I uploaded all our photos from the D50 and A620, and the ones from the A620 at the top of that mountain were better! I was amazed--nicer color, sharper, just plain better! Now I totally trust the A620 and actually use it far more than the D50 because it's a lot easier to take along. I still prefer the D50 for indoor flash shots--there's a lot of red-eye with the A620--but I have to say, if I'd bought the A620 before the D50 and given it a good test run, I don't think I would have bought the D50, even though I really like it. Sometimes portability is much more important than you think it's going to be. I got the A620 brand new for under $200--it was a great deal and is a great camera. I think it's especially good for people like me who aren't likely to delve into all the intricacies of settings, etc., but still take a lot of photos and want them to look great. From what I've read of other reviews, though, both here and on other sites, this is a very nice camera for more advanced photographers as well. Good job, Canon! Next on my wishlist: something similar to this camera but with a wider-angle lens and longer telephoto...and, of course, less red-eye with flash!

I bought this Digital Cameras about three months ago because of the good reviews particularly with the image quality.The camera truly produce very sharp and crisp images however I have noticed that the camera seems to have a problem with action shots.I have a eighteen month old baby girl who moves about quickly and I have notices that the camera struggles with fast moving objects. None moving objects come out very sharp even at 10x zoom. Video quality is also very good. This is unstandable for a Mega Zoom or non SLR camera.
Summary
Pros
Very sharp crisp pictures
Very compact
10x zoom
Good image stabilization
Good quality video
Cons
Problems handling action shots
Not too great in low light

After taking less than 100 fotos, I recieved the dreaded "lens error - restart camera" message. The camera refuses to turn on. According other internet sources, this has been a common problem with a number of canon models. Beware.

Camera is easy to use, graphics are great. Product came one day after order was placed! Great condition

Tis simple digital camera is a fine tool for my 13 year old granddaughter who is enjoying it very much.

This camera is awesome. I bought and I fel in love for it. You can take good pictures with a very good zoom and record small movies as well with the same quality. The most interesant thing is the option of take until 10 pictures in a roll using the one timer adjustable to until 30 sec.

This camera is a canon, so the picture quality is high as expected....Even auto mode produces photos of very high quality.
I haven't actually figured out the face detection yet, maybe i'm a little slow........but hopefully that works well......

The controls are easy to use and all functions are easy to find...

Only thing I don't like, is there is no histogram on the display screen while taking a picture.....it only shows up when you review a photo

I like the idea of the flip up flash....its good to not have to worry about the flash firing when not wanted......

I got the camera for $235.00.....it was definitely worth it....ordered if from amazon for $259, plus i had a $25 reward certificate from amazon, so put that towards the camera to......

you will need to buy a memory card and batteries, and i also suggest lcd proctors to put on the lcd screen....

I would recommend this camera to anyone looking for a quality digital camera with lots of manual controls....

It is a large camera compared to a lot of other digital cameras, so if small size is important..this camera isn't for you........

Ordered this for my daughter in college. She loves it, it really does take good pictures for the average person. I assume if you want professional photos you would buy a 900$ to 1500$ digital SLR.

BUT, takes only about 30 pics with 2 AA batteries. I thought it was just bad batteries but after several hundred pics now it is obvious an average is about 30 pics per battery change. Have ordered rechargeable's and will see how long they last.

Hey CANON, It really, really, really gets old to have to carry batteries in my pockets all the time?!?!

Good all around camera, easy to use. Good price. Only thing to improve is there is no way to force the flash light, it's needed in the face dark situation.

This is a great camera. I haven't had it very long but it takes good pictures and I like it that you can use regular AA batteries.

I love canon .I am very pleased! All my cameras have been Canon they never fail..
I love love this camera..is easy to use.. has all I want and all I was looking for..plus a great price..is perfect!
I love it!

Well it is a lot of camera for the bucks and i like it except had I to do over i would have opted for the 10MP (A640) version because with the 10MP you can do remote exposure you cannot with this camera also if in movie mode the camera has an annoying (& very disappointing) high pitched "camera sound" which although not screaming loud is audible enough especially on quiet footage that is a shade or two above noticeable . There are features on this model which sometimes get in the way & are all too easy to set unintentionally, I am speaking of the color selector which is a very cool feature,, but can be tripped when you do not want or need the feature. The Picture quality is beyond decent for the price. The integrated software "Image Browser" has been tricky for me switching from stills to video clips when uploading. Clips in low light are better than most cameras.
The macro functions of the camera especially for movie clips is brilliant and deserve high praise. The swing out screen is an awesome feature for being able to see the screen way below or overhead, it is a well designed feature and often will cause interest from those around you @ events. Although having experienced the Elph series I thought this would be a good choice & overall it's a fairly good camera and an excellent value.
overall 8 out of 10 would be my rating.

After considering the Olympus Stylus 830 and a Sony, I went with the Canon A590IS for two reasons: 1)it has a viewfinder and 2)it takes AA batteries. The viewfinder is particularly useful to me as I bought the camera specifically to take photos of cactus blossoms in full sun. I am still new to this camera but without having studied too much, I've gotten some excellent photos. This 8 MP camera produces images comparable to my friend's 8 MP SLR, a much bulkier body. Even with four sets of extra batteries, the booklet and a charger, my camera bag is smaller and has some room to spare.

Really great camera. It has a big display screen, great photo quality, and is very easy to use. The camera is light and compact, but not so small I would misplace it, and it fits well and comfortably in my hand. I would recommend this camera to anyone looking for a great, high-quality product for an affordable price.

I would highly recommend this camera. I have always had Canon camera's and they have made a simple to use digital that I am now enjoying. It takes great indoor and outdoor photos and the process is made easy.

This is an excellent camera for the money! It is small enough to carry in a pocket but still large enough to feel good and have a viewfinder so that you can turn the viewing screen off to save the battery. We have taken several hundred photographs so far and are still on the first set of batteries. The photos are excellent quality and the camera is easy to use but sophisticated enough to allow a wide variety of individual priority's such as aperture or timing. It also has the image stabilizer so that unfamiliar people can take photos without blurring them. I would buy it again without hesitation.

It's a point and shoot. As good or better than the competition. YOu're not going to do a National Geographic shoot with it but it's a handy little gadget to carry with.

Canon PowerShot SX100IS 8MP Digital Camera with 10x Optical Image Stabilized Zoom (Silver)

I purchased this Camera by looking into the positive reviews that every other site had. Here are the problems
- This has just a reasonable picture quality. But this severely fails in dim light. Believe me, My Nikon coolpix 3200 is far more better in dim light. I also compared the shots with Kodak ZD 710 and Kodak is miles better than SX 100.
- The color distinction is very poor. A blue object in low light looks like a black object. I tried with all possible night settings. But unfortunately nothing worked.
- The camera performs superior than others in terms of focusing while zoomed and clarity of zoomed photos are better
- The flash recharge time of 4-5 secs is unacceptable
- The only advantages I see are battery life looks to be decent, and this camera does not need a lens cover and is 'relatively' compact

I lose 10% restocking fee on return, still I would prefer to return this.
