Отзывы о Цифровой Фотоаппарат Canon PowerShot SX160 IS

My other camera is a Nikon D70, which is a hunk of iron around the neck. This one is a sizable lump in my jacket, but it's always there. It always works, takes inexpensive batteries that I can buy at most stores, and takes excellent photos. I thought initially that the swing-out screen was just a gimmick, but it has proved to be amazingly handy. My only complaint is that it isn't pretty. It's sort of like a crowbar in that regard. It isn't stylish, and it isn't the smallest camera you can get, but it has all the manual controls that I need and it gets the job done.

This is the second Canon camera I have had. The older model was superb. I got this one in Summer 2007 to replace an older model which I had dropped and broken. Without hesitation I went to buy the A640. What a disaster.
The redeye doesn't work. Seems to be a problem identified by others when I researched on the web. Tried phoning customer service absolutely useless. If you're going to use flash don't buy this camera.

Small and compact. Yet wonderfully clear photos. No blurry photos like my sony gave me. I am pleased to have purchased this canon.

I bought this camera lastweek and also a 1GB Lexar media card. Products arrived in 3 days of placing the order. The camera comes with a basic manual and an advanced one, the latter is intimidating on the first look. Just go with the basic manual initially to familiarize yourself with all the controls and within 1 hour you are ready to shoot your first pictures. The quality of pictures is excellent, in both night mode and Auto mode which you will mostly be using. The zoom is so good that on one of the pics clicked on a really cloudy evening I could read the lience plate of a truck that was about 50 yards away. I must have shot only 20 pics in the last 4 days that I have the camera, mostly test pictures under various conditions and I have no reason to complain.

For a semi-pro, there are lot more options that the camera provides to control the shutter speed, aperture, pixellation and many many things which I probably will rarely ( or even never) use.

If you have Windows XP, downloading the pictures from the SD card is easy. You don't even need to install the CD that comes with the camera ( I did'nt), just use the "Microsoft Digital Image Standard 2006" s/w that comes as part of XP.

The menus are quite intutive but there is room for some improvement here. The advanced manual could have been written in a more friendly way not to scare a non-technial mind.

I've really enjoyed using this camera. Its a terrific cross between a single lense reflex--more professional--and a point and shoot.

I bought the canon S80 a year back. During the new years party yesterday i got the E18 error. The lens won't retract or extend after this. After researching this error, i am pretty annoyed about it. In nutshell, the camera is as good as trash now. Listen to the other reviewers and at least search for "canon E18 error" before you buy any canon camera. On the positive side, this camera took good pictures till it worked.

Amazon makes it way TOO difficult to review a recent purchase. You should not have to set up an account or look up your password. I closed the review several times,but I continued through this process so it would not reflect on the seller. In the future I will not provide feedback until Amazon makes this process simpler. Where is the submit review button? Again, not user friendly. I am beginning to think Amazon doesn't want reviews.

What a Wonderful little Camera. I have had this Canon Powershot A540 for about 8 Months now. And it Works Great.This is my first Digital Camera. The battery life is great,you need to use the rechargeable batterys. I like it because it only takes 2 batterys and that makes the camera have a very nice feel to it. I did purchased this at Amazon and the shipping was very fast and nicely packed.The display screen is large and nice to see your pictures in. You may have some problems with Red eye.
Mostly in animals,but I have that problem now uner control.You just need to play around with the ajustments some. This camera is a Winner and a great one to start with if you have never had a digital camera.
One thing you will need to get for this Camera is a Charger. I would suggest the Sony BCG-34HE4 Super-Quick Battery Charger it comes with 4 rechargeable battery and it is a Great Charger. You can get this also at Amazon too. You will be very Pleased if you do.

I've been owning this camera for the past 6 months. It is so easy to handle. I am not an expert photographer - the "auto" mode works well for me. This camera can be used to take good videos too. The quality of the videos taken are comparable to the ones taken by Sony DCR-HC48 camcorder. Best suited for indoor day time videos. The only drawback is the need for 4 AA batteries which makes the camera too heavy to carry. If you are used to compact models from Canon, you would find it a bit difficult to adjust to this. However, you can compromise for the nice LCD display, 8 Mega pixels photos and the quality videos.

I am a loyal Canon customer and the A630 hasn't disappointed me.

After using an older model digital for three or four years, I finally decided to move up a notch. I did a lot of research online and settled on this Canon. It is wonderful! There are so many things it can do that I will never be able to remember them all, but for what I want -- a camera that will take good, sharp photos -- it is perfect. Price was good, delivery prompt, a good deal!

This camera is awesome. This is a great camera for someone who wants to start out just amimming and shooting but also wants features of a 35 mmSLR in the future. It can take the novice photographer to higher creative levels when they are ready to move on to bigger and better things. It is very user friendly, has great features to play with or just aim and shoot in auto mode. Either way you will get great pictures.

Video performance in very good light is very Good. But, it degrades very badly with little less light. I took a video inside my home with 3 100 Watts bulbs and resulting video was very-1 grainy and frankly use less. I have a Casio V8 digital camera and it takes much better indoor videos and very good DVD quality videos in good light.

I am extremely happy with the purchase of my A630! i bought it about 5 months ago after doing tons of research. i didn't have any particular price range but wanted to stay under $400 for my first digital camera. for a while i couldnt decide between this model, the Canon A640 or a similar Nikon model. I decided the A640 was probably too much for me pixel wise, didn't need 10 MP. I thought the A640 was nicer looking than the A630 with it's black finish but all in all not the best value for me. the Nikon model had a stabilizer and the A630 didn't however the A630 made up for it with all the features it has.

Again, this is my first digital camera so it has been a little tricky learning how all the features work but it's definitely fun to figure it out. The manuals it comes with are pretty much no help at all (thanks canon!).

The battery life is actually better than i thought. It came with a 16MB memory card so i had to upgrade that. i dont have any problem transferring the pictures to my computer.the body is nice and easy to hold for any size hand. I picked a great camera for the money i paid ($257 on amazon) and its fun to use and to experiment with all the features and shooting modes.

I just bought this camera and brought it on a ski trip to Big Sky MT. It takes very little time to learn the different settings on this camera. The Zoom on this camera is great. I was able to get sharp pictures on the slopes from very far away. When in continues mode you can blast away pictures during the action. I love this camera and would recomend it to anyone.

don't fight it. you will look around, drive yourself crazy and incessantly read reviews. there's always going to be something bigger and better but for the price, this is a sweet little (not so little i guess) camera. i'm still figuring out all of the functions, but the macro mode, color accent, and stitch assist are very neat and make creative photography a snap! also, i got a rechargable docking battery charger made by energizer that allows you to charge 8 batteries in 2 removable "pods" so you can always be prepared--battery life is excellent (makes up for the bulky size). i'm leaving for mexico in a few weeks and i can't wait to take this little guy with me. i was debating a for a while whether or not to get the a640 instead, but many reviews have said that it's not worth the 80 or so more bucks. i figured that i'd go for the cheaper, identical version (besides the MPs) b/c it's a PC magazine eidtor's choice and overall customer satisfaction is higher for the a630. i'm still toying with the idea of getting an underwater case, but i probably won't because of the design flaws and huge pricetag...we'll see though, taking the camera in the water would be amazing.

just realize that not every camera has everything (i wish this one had image stabilizaiton and a better flash), but for the price, you make out like a bandit! happy shooting:)

Bought this camera for my parents (70+ years old) about a year ago. It was fairly easy for them to learn and use. It takes good pictures. Batteries do not last long indoors using flash, so you definately need to get a good set of rechargable batteries for indoor use. Would recommend for anyone needing a medium to low end digital camera of good quality.

I bought this for my wife and she loves it. She's actually downgrading from a Nikon SLR film camera to this point-and-shoot and is perfectly satisfied with the features and ease of use of this camera.

In my own evaluation of the camera, I find it remarkably well made and capable of producing surprisingly high quality images. If you're wondering about purchasing a more expensive model with higher megapixel numbers, I'd say save your money. For all around use---family pics, snapshots, etc.---the 5 MP of this camera is more than adequate for 5x7 prints. In fact, it does something my Nikon D80 can't: you can use the display screen to frame shots as well as the viewfinder. An advantage I noticed during a family get together was that 3 of us had these Canons; so if you have trouble figuring out how to use it (unlikely), you'll probably find a relative who can show you how!

My one criticism of this camera---and it's a commentary on many miniaturized electronic devices these days---is its unnecessarily small size. Sure, it makes this camera pocketable, but for large hands it is a bit of a challenge to use. More importantly, the size limits the number of batteries to 2. For a negligible increase in size Canon could have made a camera that uses 4 AA batteries and a shot-to-battery-charge ratio that would be far more practical. Watch how fast you go through a pair of batteries and see if you agree. I'm withholding a star due to the above and also because I noticed the camera advertised locally for much less than I paid on Amazon (obviously not a criticism of the camera, but of Amazon).

Highly recommended.

It wasn't clear to me from the product description how inadequate the memory card included with the camera would be. It came with a 16M card that was full after I shot a half-dozen still images. You'll want to order an upgraded card (I went with a 1G SanDisk card) at the same time that you order the camera, otherwise you won't be able to do much with it. Otherwise I've been pretty happy with the camera, although I'm still playing around with different settings, lighting, etc.

Excellent pictures, not so hard to use i would cautiously say user friendly.all in all a good camera

This camera is great for the money. The photos are big and crisp and the effects are not complicated to figure out. It is not hard to figure out how to use it.

The drawbacks are typical for cameras of all the cameras of this price range, regardless brand name. (I have used Nikons and Olympus versions of the same.) The big screen on the Canon is real nice, but not bigger than other brands' version of the same camera.

The drawbacks are simple:

1) The flash has a narrow range of effectivness indoors. Too close, you wash out. More than 5 feet away? Too dark. You practically have to be an expert in Photoshop to be able to use indoor photos taken in medium dark to dark conditions.

2) Delay. If you want to take action photos with the flash, forget it. There is a 1-2 second delay (depending on battery power). Again, you can't get around this with other brands. It is pretty much the same for all brands at this price range. This doesn't mean i don't recommend this camera, just to realize its limitations and work with and around them.

3) Battery drain. The flash and screen suck out battery power faster than you can say "cheese." BUY RECHARGEABLES NOW. Otherwise you will be wasting a large amount in double A's.

If you are mostly taking photos in well-lit outdoors type situations, these types of cameras are great. You probably will be frustrated if you want to do more than occasional photos indoors, but again, this doesn't have to do with Canon or any particular brand. If you want better you will have to spend more.

Canon PowerShot A460 5.0MP Digital Camera with 4x Optical Zoom (Silver)

This arrived promptly in excellent new condition. The camera is automatic in every way and serves as a great, economical camera for a photographer that wants to shoot and go! So many people, when they view my slideshows or photos, ask what kind of camera I use; the quality is exceptional.

Having used two other digital cameras for the past 4 years, I was forced to buy a new one when the last one stopped working properly. I spent hours looking at options and features and comparing prices. I could not be happier with the Canon Powershot A620. After reading some of the reviews that talk about the large size of the camera, and the flimsy door that covers the data port, I was not getting my hopes built up too far until the camera arrived. This camera is smaller than my last one, and fits very nicely in your hands and is comfortable and easy to handle. As for the flimsy door, get over it. It serves its purpose and as long as you don't treat it like it's made of steel, it will probably be fine. Now, all that out of the way, here's what I really think. For less than $300, I bought the camera and a 1G SD Memory Card. In a resolution much higher than is necessary for 4.5x6" snap shots, I can take more than 500 photos on the card. I played with the camera for more than a week before the AA batteries started going dead. Now, we've been more than two weeks on the rechargeable batteries, without being recharged. We have stored close to 250 photos, and probably taken twice that while learning what all the camera can do. It does have some nice, fancy features, but it's also easy to use for someone who wants to just point and shoot. However, the camera does have its way of telling you where it is focusing or if it is in danger of being blurred by shaky hands. If you watch for this, you can readjust before taking a picture. One thing that I am the most pleased with is the speed of turning on the camera and shooting the first picture, and any subsequent pictures after that. FAST!!! (For a digital camera) I would say it's less than 2 seconds from the time you turn the camera on, until it has flashed the 1st picture if you can move your fingers that fast. There is a way to turn the review off so it's instantly ready for the next picture. It is taking me a little time to get used to what the camera prioritizes for aperture and shutter speed, but I am not disappointed with the camera at all. Another thing I really like is the swivel ability of the LCD screen. I hope this helps someone else make the decision easier than I did.

I have had my new Powershot A530 for about 7 days now and this seems to be a tiny little camera that packs quite a punch. I didn't realize that it had so many options when I made the purchase! This camera has MANY more bells and whistles than I need and although I am looking forward to learning them all I feel that it is a little overwhelming right out of the box. Don't get me wrong - right out of the box you can take a great picture even if you did not want to learn anything more about the camera and its other capabilities at all! It is very easy -- insert batteries, insert memory card, push the power button and you are ready to roll but MY GOSH the options on this little thing!

I really enjoy learning and using all the functions on my cameras and home electronics but this one may take me a while. You can make adjustments in the functions of this camera very similar to how you would in a regular 35mm camera! Which would be really great if I remembered ANY of my high school photography class lectures.. sadly - I don't. It feels like it is something that could take years to really get genuinely familiar with which will be a fun process in itself.

I am planning a trip to Italy and I wanted to get a digital camera (my first one) in plenty of time to have a couple of months to learn how to use it properly.. WOW, I may have to postpone my trip! :-)

The software that comes with it is SUPER easy to navigate, incredibly easy to install and downloading pix from the camera is a snap-snap-snap!

I also picked up the 1 GB memory card, the 2 year warranty, and thanks to so many reviews talking about the short battery life I got a dozen AA batteries - so I am pretty well set! :-)

I can't wait to get buckled in, take her out and really open her up.:-)

A great little camera and a great value, 7 days into the experience anyway :-)

If you do not want to go for digital zooms, I can confidently say that this is the best digital camera. The night mode feature is superb. You dont need to hold steadily for a long time in night-mode to get good quality pictures. This also works in all cases where the light is less. Trying in auto-mode without the flash on also gives extremely good results under less light condition. Pistures taken from moving vehicle under dim light is excellent. So the anti-shake feature is also great. It also has a good macro feature! To sum up, this is a very handy good-quality camera.
