Отзывы о Цифровой Фотоаппарат Canon PowerShot SX160 IS

This camera was purchased for a eleven year old as a middle school graduation gift. She adores it. The camera has held up to constant use, battery life is good. The camera is simple and easy to use. We also purchased a Kingston 2GB SD card so that the movie function on the camera could be used. Also purchased a flash reader so that the photos could be uploaded to the computer without connecting the camera directly (saves on batteries). This camera was such an excellent price for the quality and ease of use that we just purchased the same camera again with the Kingston 2GB card and flash reader. This time, it was a birthday gift for a twelve year old. We have no complaints - the product is a good product for the price. P.S. If you purchase the SD card and reader at Best Buy, you will pay nearly double the cost that you will pay through Digital Media Source.

I received this camera for Christmas. I was a little anxious when I saw the box of instructions but then realised that only half were in English and I could dispose of the rest. I have never had a digital camera before but the instructions were easy to follow, the camera was easy to operate and produced great pictures with very little effort from me. I would definately recommend it.

I've had MANY digital cameras over the years... probably 11 digital camera's since 1999.

In that time I've learned what I do and don't like about digital cameras. My issue has always been balancing performance, features and value. The Canon Powershot A620 fit my needs perfectly.

Some of my requirements fulfilled by this camera:

* Great picture quality

* FAST: Startup, buffer, picture to picture, flash recharge, etc. My wife demands this even more than I do now that we've got kids).

* Takes AA batteries: My brother and I debate this all the time (he's always had the Canon S series cameras with the proprietary lithium battery). He says he likes how long his batteries last. I like using cheap, always available AA batteries... especially rechargeable ones.

* Sturdy: My wife would be using this camera with kids pulling on her all the time... the camera's going to eventually get some bumps / drops.

* Works with a program I found online called Cam4you remote: This program let me use my A620 as a VERY high resolution web cam. No need to buy a second web cam that would end up having crappy resolution.

* FAST... yeah, already mentioned this, but other than the Cyber-shot DSC-S600 this is the fastest camera I've owned.

* Battery Life: Very competitive and beats most other camera's I've had.

Only complaints about this camera are:

* A little bigger than we would have liked, but other features outweigh this con.

* Wish it only needed 2 AA batteries instead of 4. This would have made the body smaller, but I'm guessing I would have to give up on speed / length of battery life.

I bought the SX100 as an everyday camera so I wouldn't have to lug around my Canon 30D DSLR. I've had it for a week now and it takes very decent pictures for a P&S. I haven't used a P&S in a couple of years since buying my my DSLR so it took some getting used to.
I took a couple of shots yesterday of my daughter and while it doesn't have the clarity of a DSLR (obviously) I got some very nice shots with really nice, sharp eyes.

My only gripe so far is that I wish it had a viewfinder. That may not be an issue if you're used to P&S cameras without one but I find myself putting the camera up to my face like I do my 30D.

This camera is perfect for our needs.

We normally don't do that much shopping on-line; this transaction went very well.

Satisfaction score = 10. Complaint score = 0.

Thanks.

I'm not a professional photographer by any means, but when looking for a camera with a high ISO to take pictures of constantly moving children, I found this little number. It was cheaper on Amazon than in any of the big box electronic stores, and I couldn't be happier with my purchase!

I went from the Olympus C-5050 (not a point & shoot but not professional either) to the Canon A630. I like to take a lot of natural light pictures and this camera absolutely stinks for this. The flash doesn't produce a lot of light and the natural light pictures are uselessly blurry even when I brace it on something to hold down movement. I've been very unhappy with this camera in every indoor setting, shaded outdoor setting but I have been happy with it outside.

I wanted a lighter camera to take fun shots with but even my fun shots like the llama show I went to.. are pretty much useless. I'm going to be getting rid of this camera. I've taken hundreds of pictures on it and it's just making me madder every time.

I like the carrying case, however I would like it a lot more if it had some sort of carrying handle.

This is the second Canon camera I have purchased through Amazon and have been completely happy with the results. This camera is simple, takes quality photos, and came with many extra accessories. For the money it is a very good buy.

We got this camera because we're about to have a baby and wanted a great camera that's almost like SLR camera but easy enough that strangers can take pictures for us. This camera satisfies that! It allows me to control the aperature so I can have a blurred background and create professional pictures.

This is a great camera for its price! It has tons of features that are fun and easy to use. It also has multiple size settings for photos, which is helpful if you wish to save space on your memory card. The smallest setting is all that is needed if you are not intending to print your pictures (i.e. if you're putting them on the web) and even at the highest quality setting for these you can still take about 55 (that's using the small memory card included)! For people printing a majority of their pictures, I would suggest purchasing a larger memory card. Batteries seem to last a decent amount of time during usage of the camera. The coloring and quality of the images seems great!

Canon makes good, dependable cameras at a good price. I had the older version of this same camera for several years. It was 2.1mp and still works fine but I needed to upgrade. I gave the old camera to my daughter and now use the A540. It takes great pictures and movies even in low light situations.

I consider it a huge advantage that the A540 uses 2 AA batteries. I have several sets of rechargeables and I can get a lot of pictures from each set. Also, a big advantage of AAs over specialty batteries is that if you are on a trip or have an emergency and need batteries fast, you can purchase AAs almost anywhere in the world.

One other thing I have always appreciated about my Canon is never having trouble downloading the pictures. I can connect my camera to any computer running XP and my camera has always been detected. This has not been true of other brands of digital cameras at the place where I work.

I also purchased a 2 gig SD memory card. This is the maximum size card that you can use with the A540. I did not get the most expensive, high speed card and so far I have not noticed any problems.

Finally, I chose this camera because it will take pictures in total, mindless "AUTO" mode or you can take complete control of all settings. It allows for aperture and shutter speed control and even manual focus. Very cool.

I really enjoy this camera! To be honest, I am a novice at digital cameras' but this camera takes great shots and is easy to use. My previous camera was a Canon A-1, and this one has similar shooting modes. It does seem to go through batteries but I consider this to be a minor issue.

I ordered this camera based on a rating I received in Consumer Reports. I ordered the camera online and it only took a few days before I received it. The first time I used this camera, I was smitten by its performance. I've never owned a camera as nice or as fancy as this. I love it! The memory card only allowed me to take 6 pics before it was full though. So I went online and brought an additional 1G of memory . . . and it is so worth it. Now I can make a 5-minute movie along with taking a huge amount of pics and I never fear that I am going to run out of memory. I am excited about learning what else this camera can do.

Pros:Best Price, Simple to use, compact, good zoom, enough pixels(you can adjust the amount of pixels on a photo, which saves memory space), uses 2 AA batteries, great quality photos and movies.
You must read the advance user manual guide to get the best of it.
I also recomend getting the Canon compact camera case, fits like a glove and feels protective.

Cons:Memory card with the package only 16MB(I got a ScanDisk 2GB card from Amazon, very good) and the On/Off button is too close and same side as the shutter that you might accidentaly turn off the camera when taking a picture in a hurry.

Other: If you use recargable batteries buy the ones with the highest mAh like NIMH 2500mAh and a worldwide charger (Sony has them)

I love the powershots ( I have an older version as do all my kids)and this camera did not disappoint. Although I did not get to use it as it was a Christmas gift, my son has told me that it takes outstanding pictures! He loves the 10X stabalized zoom feature. The 8MP doesn't hurt either ;) Highly recommend

I bought this camera as an upgrade to one of the old 3.1 mega pixel canon's that I previously owned. WOW!! I don't bother with all the manual setting stuff, just use landscape, portrait or auto settings. It also has a handy feature for taking pictures of moving objects like kids and pets. It is jam packed with loads of useful features. Loads more than I'll ever use. Takes SLR type photos without the bulkiness. Also you can change the lenses like an SLR.

One thing I would add, the batteries - always use energizer lithium ones. They last around 20 times longer than anything else I have put in a camera. Rechargeables are a waste of time as are standard batteries, they don't last to long. The energizers are quite expensive but well worth the money.

This is an excellent camera, like all teh PowerShot range. The picture quality is excellent.

The screen rotates out making it easy to take shots at odd angles - or even take a pic of yourself.

It has an auto setting for us amateurs and more sophisticated settings for the more professional.

The video facility with sound is very useful and great quality.

The only problem I found witn this is the location of the memory card slot - it's in with the batteries, so every time you want to change the card, the batteries fall out. I have the A620 at home and the slot is on the side - much more user friendly.

Came in time and in great shape. Was disappointed to see the same company with the same camera for $20.00 less a week later.

I bought this for my sister who was having problems getting a case for her new canon camera. She was delighted with it. I ordered it on the friday afternoon and she recieved it early saturday morning. It holds her camera, batteries and spare memory card. Could'nt ask for more.

This is our first digital camera and has worked out great. There are many more options than I will ever use, but why complain about that? I have been very pleased with the picture quality, zoom capabilities, screen size, and ease of uploading the pictures to my computer. Our batteries seem to run out often, but I always carry an extra set and it isn't a great expense since it uses two AA batteries.

I bought this camera after breaking my Nikon Coolpix P2 which I LOVED. I was well pleased with the quality of pictures that the Nikon made, so I knew it was going to be hard to replace.
A lot of research later, I found the Canon A630. I like the large LCD screen and what was even better was the fact that it would fold shut, or rotate so that even I could get into a shot once in a while. Even better than that is the picture quality... I have a picture of a plane towing a glider, and when enlarged you can actually see the tow line.
The reason I gave it four stars is this camera doesn't have the rechargable battery pack that I liked so well with the Nikon. Also, the memory card slot is in the same door as the four AA-batteries and I usually end up spilling my batteries when getting the card out. Not really a big deal now after owning this camera awhile... but I would have preferred somewhere else.

Excellent camera. Have owned 5 powershots. Love that they take regular AA batteries. Got this one for the extra zoom capability. Small yet not so compact it is hard to handle. Just right!

We chose the Canon A630 because it (and it's sister camera, the A620) received rave reviews via several web sites and Consumer Reports. I've only had this camera a few weeks but we really like it. This is our first digital camera, so we don't have much to compare it to. But we've had two separate occassions where people who have used digital cameras for a while pick ours up to play with it, and say how much they like it.

The viewfinder is very nice, the zoom surprisenly good, the video and sound quality also better than I would have thought (and I own a video business). Do consider that the card that comes with it held five photos at most, but we found a 2 gig card at a warehouse club for less than $30. The flash doesn't always go off, but it appears that the photos without flash didn't need the flash. Very simple to use. A friend also likes the hand grip.

It's not light and wouldn't fit in your pocket, but we found that it easily fit into a standard camera case that fits on a belt. Very easy to transfer to the computer. Again, it's only been used a few times, so we have not played with photo quality or printing photos, but so far I would definately recommend the A630 for the money.
