Отзывы о Цифровой Фотоаппарат Canon PowerShot SX160 IS

Camera takes good pictures as long as you stick with low ISO settings. Even though you can set ISO up to 1600, for all practical performances 400 is the limit. The photos taken at high ISO are so noisy that they are unacceptable. If you don't take a lot of pictures indoors this won't matter much, but I take a lot indoors and in environments like gym, theater etc and I often prefer high ISO with natural light to flash.

definitely not as sleek and sexy as some of the more expensive canon cameras, but I suspect the quality of the images is exactly the same and it's very easy to use but still has a lot of great manual controls. The manual focus isn't that refined but it's nice that at least it's an option. Low light and long exposure images are pretty noisy, but that's to be expected.

So far have been very pleased with image quality of this camera, but the battery life is a bit lower than expected.

I owned a Canon PowerShot A610 and it turned a black screen on me after two years of use. Other buyers also had the same problem with A610. It may happen to A630 too. You are probably happy too early. It is not a good value because the A610 is really a disposable camera disguised as a good value buy. This can be true for A630 again.

This is a great small, portable camera. If you are looking to do high end work, you might want to look at the SLRs. For everyday snapshots and photos this is more than suitable. For a carry in your pocket camera, this can't be beat. I bought one for my personal use, then two more for work. At work they get used by many people to photograph construction activities (generally not treated very gently) and have held up very well. Considerations for buying this:

1. Good price.

2. Uses AA batteries, so you aren't stuck with expensive proprietary batteries and you can always find replacements. I use rechargable NiMH and they last a long time (deplete faster if you use the screen and flash).

3. Uses low-cost SD card. Sony and Fuji use higher cost Memory Stick or XD. I use 2GB Kingston cards, which cost about $40 each. Holds over 1000 photos at max resolution.

4. The screen on the back is the right size. The later models have a bigger screen, but you lose the space in the button area. This model has a good combination of a readable screen and buttons that you can push wearing gloves.

5. 4X optical zoom is a plus.

6. Comfortable grip. One hand only works fine.

All these small cameras have weak flashes. Don't expect more than about a twelve foot range. For low light shooting, I set to multiple shot mode at 1 second increments. Then it shoots itself with no wobbling from the finger pushing the button.

5MP max resolution will get you great 10x12 prints, and decent larger prints. Anything smaller is excellent.

This camera takes great outdoor pics, with good color and resolution. I don't have to do much (if any) photoshopping on those.

The included shooting modes are useful. I use night a lot and it improves the photos.

The little Canon carry case is well worth the $10. The camera fits right in and is well protected.

My daughter has had the older A510 at college and it has worked great for her as well.

I have this camera for weeks and I am happy with picture quality. This camera only print date on picture at postcard option (2MP)but not on large size. If you use canon printer, you may have option to print date. But who is going to print all digital photos with your own printer. My wife wants date print on pictures and finally I found a picture software that can add date on pictures. Thanks to smart people who create this software.

I bought this camera as a birthday present for my 72 year old sister and gave her to it on our trip to Vegas. She said she wanted a really dumbed-down camera that was as easy to use as a cardboard disposable so she could just "take pictures" and not screw with buttons and adjustments. In the auto mode it does just that and takes superb pictures to boot. It will freeze the water in the fountains at the Bellagio, adjust for the very difficult lighting at the Masquerade Show in the Sky at the Rio and take night-time shots of the strip all crystal clear and with accurate color rendition. I had my much more expensive digital camera with me and found myself wanting to use the Cannon most of the time. The only problem we had with it was fighting over who was going to use it. Great deal for the money and if pushed to say something negative it would the weight and size being just a bit unwieldy.

I really had a hard time deciding which camera to buy. I love this camera. It is small enough to carry around and takes amazing pictures. I haven't used the full 8 mp yet due to the large amount of pixels. I have the camera set for 5mp and the pictures are great. I haven't had time to read up on the additional features yet and have only used the camera in auto mode so far. I am looking forward to trying some of the other features though. The zoom was what I was really after with a new camera, and this one is awsome.

Just the best you can get for around 200,00 dolars.... Really awesome performance and very handy features and picture taking options..... Easy to get to know.... Finally an excellent Canon, Again.....

I'm completely satisfied with the A470. Neat little camera and great pictures. It takes awhile to get through the 184 page user's manual but hang in there, you'll be glad you did.

I use both this and the A650 IS at my work. Although this is a very good camera, it does not compare to the better capabilities of the newer A650. Especially when it comes to the prices I'm seeing here (keep in mind that the A650 is going for under $300). I mean it's laughable when you just know that the A630 is inevitably destined to show up on ebay someday for $10-20.

Bought this camera specifically for a recent trip to Europe.
I was delighted with the camera. I used the SCN feature for the first time and was pleased with the results. Good value for the money, easy to use. This is my third PowerShot camera

Considering its price, it takes great quality and vivid pictures. Flash is well balanced and camera size is not too big even when compared to compact cameras. Also, manual controls are really easy to use. I recommend this camera.

This is an excellent camera. it's a pity we cannot remove the lens to replace them with a better one. It's easy to use, not too simple not too pro.

i love mey new camera with 6 grankids and one great I take a lot of pictures but I'm not high tec this is so easy to use and takes great pictures wish i would havse gotten it sooner

This camera is awesome! I just wish the onboard memory was a bit larger... I can only shoot about 20 pics with the standard memory.

Let me start by saying, I am not a die hard "love my Canon" person. However I felt compelled to post this review and specifically address my experience with the A540's battery life: mine has been excellent. We are a family of 6, high income, tech/gadget group. Between us, we currently have 8 digital cameras in use. Various brands and models, Fuji, Canon, Nikon both pocket & DSLR and Kodak. We are very happy with Canon. I too did a lot of research before buying and went to several stores for a hands on. Price, for me, was no object- I just wanted a good camera that felt right. My hand kept coming back to the A540. I love mine.

I have taken lots of pictures under various conditions including some video. All have turned out well. We do not experience blur and my batteries last a good long time. In the last year I have only changed the batteries three times. The camera can set, turned off and in it's bag, for over a month- I get it out, take 2-3 pictures, come back in a month and do the same and it's always ready to go. I have upgraded to the highest NiHi batteries I could find and a 1 gig. card.

I put this in the 1 Star group because I wanted the people reading the negative reviews first, as I do, to understand that these are not typical problems , that people are complaining about.

No, I'm not affiliated with Canon in any way. In fact, even though I love reading reviews on line before I buy something, this is the first product review I've ever written. 5 stars for this camera.

This Camera is the best digital camera I have personally used. It has so many options on how you want to take your pictures, and the 4x Optical Zoom is nice. Pictures are crisp and clear. I recommend it to anyone who loves to take random pictures and photoshop them :D. Just be sure to buy a memory card with this, the one that comes with it is crap.

P.S. I recommend getting the Transcend SDHC Memory Card 4GB, good memory for cheap!

I received this case, made by Canon, a couple of days befor departing for a dive trip, so I was able to test it right away. It was easy to load the camera, and it handled well. The diffuser plate worked well to dissipate the flash on close-ups. What I didn't like was that the camera had problems focusing under certain conditions, such as taking a picture of small crabs, brittle stars or other creatures inside vase sponges. I am not sure if this was due to the case or the camera itself. The biggest problem, however, was that the case leaked on the first dive, fortunately only small amounts, so the camera was not damaged. I had a professional check it and he said that the main o-ring had uneven spots. Also, certain buttons (i.e., the macro button, the left scrolling button, and the exposure button) would squirt droplets of water every time I depressed them under water. Amazon exchanged the item. I would have rated it higher if these problems hadn't occured.

Purchased for a friend who is definitely not going to put up with fussy settings. She just wants to aim and shoot. This camera does the job. She is enjoying the simplicity and the great images that she records. Good product.

I replaced my venerable Elph Powershot S200 with this camera. The build quality is not as solid as the Elph, but at this price, I can afford to replace it every couple of years. The picture quality is outstanding. A ton of features, it is taking me a while to use the camera to it's potential. I've called Canon support, and talked to a living, breathing person for assistance. Customer support is perhaps the best feature of this camera. Exceptional camera, exceptional value.

I liked this camera so much initially that I recommended it to 2 of my friends and they bought it. After living with the camera for 6 weeks, my friends and I have all experienced the same flaw. The battery/memory card door does not close tightly. I talked to Canon about it, and they say they know nothing about it, but I can ship the camera to them and they will look at it. My daughter has an A430, which is nearly identical, but the door works differently, and correctly. I am much less pleased now than when I purchased the camera. Now I have to decide if the flaw with the door is worth the trouble to send the camera back. My OCD tendencies suggest it probably is.

I exchanged the camera for an A560 after a Canon CSR tried to convince me that the flaw is actually a feature. He has a great future with Microsoft! I'm very hopeful that the A560 does not have the same problem.

By far one of the better cameras I have owned. Great zoom and great quality on pics. It has unfortunately been dropped in the parking lot and can take a beating. All functions great. Easy downloads and would reccomend the lowe brand case for this camera.

there's nothing u need to know about this camera... u just start using it and it will make everything for you... the resolution of the photos is just great and not to talk about the 10x optical zoom plus the 4x digital makes a 40x zoom... all the pictures are great even with the digital zoom

I am EXTREMELY impressed with this camera. Best purchase I've made in a long time. The image quality is terrific. HIGHLY recommended to anyone looking for a new camera.
