Отзывы о Цифровой Фотоаппарат Canon PowerShot SX160 IS

like how it downloads NEW images, but not happy with progress. miss the 2.0 version; but i'm a luddite

I really love my new Canon Power Shot XS100IS. It takes wonderful pictures. It is easy to operate but some of the written instructions are hard to follow. I love the way you can take pictures without using the flash. It is very easy to handle while taking pictures. I have arthritis in my thumbs and this camera's shape is a blessing. I was sure I ordered it in silver but received it in black...oh well, I don't want to pay more shipping. I highly recommend this camera to anyone looking for a high quality camera for a good price.

I recently purchased this camera and have been very pleased with it. The advantages of this camera include the fact that the user can set it to operate in an automatic mode (in which the camera makes all the focusing, shutter speed, f-stop, etc. adjustments for you) or in a variety of semi-manual or fully manual modes. This allows the novice user to enjoy the camera right out of the box, but keeps the more experienced user from getting bored with plain ol' snapshots.

Also advantageous are the swivel lcd screen and the optical viewfinder. The swivel screen lets the user view the potential picture at all sorts of angles. This, I have found, is particularly useful when trying to take a timed picture of a group. People can stand in the group and generally check the swiveled-around screen (at least when indoors) to see that everyone will be in the picture. The optical viewfinder helps when taking several pictures in rapid sequence - trying to follow the action in the lcd screen is, I think, more difficult.

The shutter lag time (the time between when you push the shutter button and when the camera takes a picture) for this camera is fairly short. There are faster cameras out there, but when you've already focused this camera on the subject first by pushing the shutter button down halfway, the shutter time when you then fully press the shutter button is less than half a second.

The movie modes work well, and in the finest resolution mode they are pretty sharp.

As far as regular photographs go, the camera takes incredibly sharp pictures. I have found that the pictures are actually better than those taken by my old Pentax K-1000 SLR.

The downside to the camera is probably its weight and bulk. It is smaller than an SLR for certain, but bigger than a lot of other digital cameras out there. Unlike most other digital cameras, it uses four AA bateries instead of only two. The batteries last a long time, but the camera does not have any battery power gauge. It does give you a warning when the batteries are low, but when that happened to me it ran out of power very shortly afterwards. I recommend travelling with spare batteries.

Overall, for the general user, I highly recommend this camera because of its sharp pictures and great versatility.

I bought this camera a month back and I am totally impressed with it. Photo quality is great, IS works really nice and video mode also works brilliantly.
Its handly pocket camera and looks really nice.

It has only one drawback and that is flash recycle time. Its bit high, but can be still not a bad deal.

In low light it works really good and night mode photos are really clear.

About Battery, purchase pair of rechangable batteries and it would work nice. It always better to keep backup batteries.

Overall really nice camera and overall a good deal!!

I bought this camera almost a year ago, and simply love it. It is everything I was hoping for and more. I would highly recommend it. It takes excellent pictures and also short videos. Mg

This is my first digital camera and was so simple to use. It made the annual New Year's Day Dinner at my mom and dad's the best we have had in a long time. It was just fantastic.

The camera takes great pictures and I love the 10X feature. Two things I don't like are 1) the screen becomes a blank when trying to take pictures in bright light. 2) There is no peep hole with which to compose a picture, so you're out of luck trying to take pictures in bright daylight.

Bought this camera for my 11 and 12 yeard old daughters who find it very user friendly. The various controls are well placed, the images are bright and the memory card is placed in the same area as the batteries so that once you want to change cards the power is interrupted (since the cover must be opened )which is definitely a safety feature. The camera's macro mode allows them to take lovely pictures of flowers and insects of interest while the movie feature is used by them to make numerous movies of themselves while singing and/or dancing or even of the family. The software that comes with the camera is a defininte plus since they download everything from the memory card onto the computer's hard drive before clearing the contents of the card in order to use the camera again.
My only problem with this camera is that it is sold with a 16 MB card which, in this day, is quite useless so I think that a 512 MB card(which is what I bought for them) should be standard with the camera.

I am no expert, but I have always gotten Canon cameras. This time I was out to get at least a 10X zoom. This camera works great, takes nice pictures, and has a 16:9 mode, which I like since I view most of my pics on an HD TV via Media Center PC. Another quality Canon product.

I love how the pics turn out and look and based on the camera
I would say it is a 5+ but it comes with a problem that is major
and that is it eats batteries I put brand new (non rechargeables)
in this camera and got around 7 pics out of it and then the low batterie light came on and I went on to get about 4 more pics before the camera went off and would not come back on I am going to now try rechargeables on
it but if it eats them I'm not sure what to do I dont think there is a problem with the camera itself I think it is just a camera that normally eats batteries but I am researching good batteries hopfully I can get this camera up to a 5

I bought this bag because it was small like the powershot camera I bought recently. I wanted something small which would protect my camera but not increase the weight or size I was carrying around with me. This bag is just right for the powershot range - being only larger than the camera itself so that you have protection but not have a large bag to carry - thus keeping the compact size of the camera. I was impressed with the little pockets which can hold memory cards and more importantly batteries.
Well worth the money if you value your canon powershot.

this camera does a great job- the 10x zoom makes taking outdoor photo's easy. the camera lacks a peep hole but this does not bother me at all. the flash is manual,if down it does not operate, when up it functions as set or as needed. the camera is fast and easy. the multiple face recognition aspect is neat, never an out of focus face. the anti shake feature is real great when the zoom is used and especially if you add the digital zoom to the 10x(4x=40x). excellent camera and great product as always from cannon.

I have been very pleased with the pictures I've taken with this camera as far as outdoor still-life (flowers, ...). However, in low-light, it is very difficult to get a good shot. With flash, the color is off, with no flash, it is extremely blurry every time. But, takes pretty decent video and seems to hold battery charge pretty well.

This is a very good camera for the price. I am completely happy with it and the quality of the pictures taken.

It is gread deal to get canon 8mp with 10x zoom, I am very much happy with this.
only the cons with this camera is the flash light is not automatically opens ,we need to manually open the flap, but still it is gr8 deal

I bought this camera just before a trip to Central Asia, and had little time to get used to it before leaving. But even without knowing how to use all the bells and whistles, it still did a fine job. The only adjustments I used were varying degrees of zoom, flash on or off, and closeup on or off -- and all these are easy to manage (and to remember). The camera is compact and easy to hold. Rechargeable batteries lasted through many, many shots -- I recharged every 2 or 3 days, and never had a problem. Eight megapixels give photos that can be "taken apart": pulling out an interesting face or object, and blowing it up as a separate picture. Also, with this degree of resolution, it's hard to tell where optical zoom leaves off and digital zoom begins.

Only two criticisms: first, the lag time between pushing the shutter button and actually taking the picture (and I think all digitals are plagued by this). Second, it's easy to accidentally twist the dial on the camera top when pulling it out of a bag or case, and it's hard to remember to always check to see that it's set correctly.

Overall, though, a very good camera for the price -- I'm well-satisfied.

Recording the activities of our three year old will no longer require deciding between lugging a video bag or using the so-so video mode of our digital still camera.

This is a pocket-sized wonder - Progressive HDTV, 7.1 MP photos, no discs or tapes to worry about and simple to use. Sometimes not having every possible feature can be a blessing.

I did purchase an additional 4 Gb card as the included 32 Mb is good for about 9 seconds of 16:9 (HDTV) recording! Someone at Canon needs to have their sense of humor adjusted.

My box did not include the Basic manual which describes much of the initial set-up - it was easily found on the Canon website. A good thing too as my TX-1 booted-up in Japanese, a fine and wonderful language which I cannot read. With the basic book it took 5 seconds to change it over to English.

I'm a Mac user and was pleased to see that without loading anything or changing any computer configurations, that upon plugging the TX-1 into the USB port, iPhoto immediately found the camera and imported both still and video files. I'll be doing the iMovie thing next.

A belt pouch is recommended for protection and summertime carry.

This camera presents a lot of very interesting features. I especially like the IS, the use of AA batteries and 10X zoom.
However, the face detection still needs to be improved. It finds a face easily, but a second one is very often omitted making it a little tougher to take couple shots. Time between pictures is also a little long.

I'm from Chile and its the first time I buy through Amazon. I choose this camera and once I get it, I can only say that's all what I expected!!! I was afraid about the weight, but its very confortable to carry. The zoom is really awesome.
I totally recomend Cannon Cameras, this is my second one, the instructions are clear and its easy to understand.
I will take pictures of my beautiful country and I will post it...

My title states good camera, not great camera.

I was looking for a point and shoot digital that is pocket size. I have a Canon EOS 20D so this wouldn't be my go to camera. I was looking for something easy to carry while doing outdoor activities.

So, my comparison wouldn't be fair if matched against the 20D. However, with that said I was disappointed with two items. The recycle of the flash unit is painstakenly slow. But that can with lived with except for the write speed or recycle of the camera for a follow up shot. You can't take two consecutive pictures or even two within 2-3 seconds.

The other disappointment is trying to catch an action shot. I use the other camera for sports photography, but occasionally the A540 was all I had. You can't catch "a moment" with that camera. The focus takes 2 seconds before the shutter opens (film camera term) when you push the shutter button. I can't get use to that slow reaction for capturing the moment.

This camera is great for posed portraits and landscapes. The focus is sharp. The settings are good with the automatic settings. Watch out for low light without the flash. It will chose a slow shutter and could blur the subject. The video recording works good (I've only used it twice). The sharpness of pictures is fantastic.

I bought a 1MB card for it because I take a lot pictures. I will take other reviewers suggestions and try rechargable batteries. Alkalines are not bad, I just change them more often than I recharge my 20D. I get 150+ pictures while using the screen in back to center the shot. Turn it off and use the viewfinder and get a lot more battery life.

Again this is a good camera for its intended use, not a great camera.

does everything i want it to do and more. Really happy that it is not just automatic but fully manual as well.

This camera turns on quickly-a plus over previous camera. It doesn't have an eye piece to look through-an archaic option probably. There are a lot of options to learn and I have difficulty remembering all the different options.

I purchased this camera over 2 years ago and I'm still in love with it!!! The pictures that I take with this camera look like post cards. I'm no photographer by any means but you wouldn't know by looking at the pics that I take!!! I would recommend buying this camera to anyone!!! As a matter of fact, my friend just broke her camera and I told her to buy a Canon Powershot!!

I bought this camera for a friend as a wedding gift and she loves it. It is easy to use and the image is pretty clear. In fact, she wants me to buy one more for her sister.
