Отзывы о Цифровой Фотоаппарат Canon PowerShot SX160 IS

Admittedly, I'm not much of a photographer but needed to get a camera. I did my research, read the reviews, and selected this model. I have not been disappointed! I have tried many of the features, including video, and have not had any problems. My night-time pictures have turned out great and I am completely pleased with the quality of all the pictures. I was a little nervous about buying a camera that uses AA batteries since I expected battery life to expire really quickly - I've taken hundreds of pictures and a little bit of video and my initial batteries (the ones that came with the camera) haven't died yet!
I highly recommend this camera!!!

This is a fantastic camera. Incorporating a whopping 10megapixel sensor and a 4x optical zoom lens with nine-point auto-focus, the A640's has an impressive specification. Its 21 scene modes and intelligent analysis programs ensure that users can take high-quality pictures. You also get full manual control, aperture and shutter priority modes which give you the flexibility to be as creative as you like. It also allows you to choose different focusing and metering modes. The combination of features is mind boggling but the on screen menu system is easy to use. You can of course also use the full auto mode which will do every thing for you.

To the rear a 2.5in LCD panel flips out and pivots to allow shooting from all manner of angles. You can easily shoot over the heads of crowds or frame waist-level shots. Or flip the LCD right round to take a picture of yourself!

Shots taken with the A640 may be compared not only with the very best compact cameras but also with digital SLRs. The quality is excellent. Images are extremely clean and crisp - definitely photographs as opposed to snaps.

You can buy extra lenses and even an underwater casing! I'd also recommend buying a light weight tripod for use in low-light and night time conditions, a good case and a good battery charger as the A640 takes 4 AA batteries. With a 2 gig memory stick you can take about 500 shots at superfine 3648x2736 resolution. The detail on shots at that resolution is amazing.

To sum up: the A640 is easy to use, powerful and takes great photographs.

We orginally purchased 6 of these for school use by teachers and primary children. They were so good and robust, we have now purchased another 7 so each class has a camera. We set the camera at less pixels to get more on the card, and the quality is still good. We have never had any problems with them, even when they have been dropped!!! We use rechargeable batteries and they seem to last for ever before needing recharging. Certainly worth thinking about for school use.

Pros: This camera takes AWESOME snapshots! I bought the Fujifilm Finepix A400 4 mega pixel for my girlfriend and this is 10X better! (She's gonna kill me since she wanted this one, but it was outside my price range at Christmas). The photos are crisp, detailed and clear and the menu is intuitive. It's Picture Bridge enabled. It uses an SD card, which is MUCH cheaper than the XD that the Fujifilm and Olmpus cameras use. The downloads via USB are simple. You can download ALL photos or NEW photos or select the ones to download and you're prompted with a blue light on the camera. The pictures download VERY quickly. There's a ton of included software, most of which I will never use, but it's nice to have. The micro zoom is nice for shooting close-ups of flowers and smaller, detailed subjects.

Cons: 1. Eats batteries like nobody's business - I put the included batteries in, took about 12 shots using the flash and within 30 minutes the LCD flashed the weak battery symbol. 2. Shutter lag - powers on quickly enough, but speed between shots is somewhat gimpy.

Other Thoughts: I had an old Sony Maverica with the floppy disk for storage. This is my first REAL digital camera. There are a LOT of adjustable settings, both manual and automatic, that I have yet to play with completely. So far, I'm VERY impressed with this camera and the price has come down quite a bit recently. Get yourself some rechargeable batteries.

The camera worked for a half of a year. Then it died. I used it very carefully, never hit or exposed to the elements, but it still died. It may be that I was spoiled by the quality and longevity of products Canon is famous for, but I was extremely disappointed. Not for long, though. They replaced the camera quickly and it works just fine 4 years later. Quite all-right a piece of hardware for the price, very good customer service.

Bought this camera after seeing a good review and I have not been disappointed.

The camera takes some good pix even when on automatic settings. I've found the swivel screen to be a huge plus and I use it all the time. I'm pretty tech savy, but think most folks can figure out the advanced features on this camera.

And to top it off, the batteries last ten times longer in this camera than my old Fuji.

Its not the smallest camera out there, but if you don't need to slip it in your pocket, this one's a winner.

I love this camera! I am not a professional photographer, however, I love taking pictures and being able to send them to my mom from school. This summer, I was involved in research with my professor. I needed a good digital camera that was able to provide quality images for poster and oral presentations. My images were quite vivid and clear in my powerpoint presentations as well as the appearance on my poster! It was great! Also, the video half of my camera is the bomb!... The sound is all there as well as the picture quality... Once again, a great camera! I love my camera and I take it everywhere I go... Only downside... You'll have to by a large memory card because the one it comes with only allows 5 to 7 pictures. I bought a SanDisk 2 Gig card and it works beautifully. College students who like simple picture-taking...this is the ideal camera for you!

First let me say I am not a big digital camera expert. I know enough to take some great photos, but some of the technical terms go beyond my range of knowledge. The camera I owned prior to purchasing the A630 was a Cannon Power Shot SD 500 (digital elph). I loved the functions on it, but it was very light and after I broke the screen for the 2nd time... well, I decided it was time for a change.

The powershot A630 uses the AA batteries which #1 let me use rechargable batteries that I keep on hand yet in a pinch I can always buy new batteries, and #2 gives the camera extra weight. I appreciate the heft of this camera. I find I have fewer blurry pictures due to hand-shake. the Elph was so light that I tended to move the camera as I took the picture.

but here's the part that just flat out sold me on the A630. the swivel screen. as a family, we often take group shots of ourselves - using the timer feature. As we set ourselves up for the photo, we can swing the screen around so we can frame ourselves as the camera is counting down. (I also purchased a tiny flexible tripod which helps with the framing too). When we're not taking pix, I just turn the screen around to help protect it! knock on wood, I haven't broken it yet!

At the highest quality setting, I can only get a few pictures on the memory card, but with 8 mega pixels, even the lower settings give great quality photos.

I have not explored all options/functions/features on the camera, but overall, I love it.

I bought this camera as a tentative substitute for my canon s40. The price was just irresistible and I didn't have a high expectation for this. But, hey, this is a powerful digit cam!

1. Overall, the photo is sharp and of good quality. The flash light is powerful, so expect to have some shadows in the background when you take the pic inside. Perhaps a little bit too sharp for my taste (Canon s40 produces much softer pictures, though sometimes blurred), so I tend to change to manual mode for a more smooth lighting. The super macro mode is a pleasant surprise, and the scene mode works pretty well as well.

2. You can use this to take video for as long as 1 GB memory!

3. It is not a real pocket size digit cam. But it is light and is only slightly noticeable in your kakhi pocket. Not in your jeans though. I have been able to carry this in my pocket during my evening walk and it works perfectly.

Overall, for a Canon digit cam with a price like this, surely a good bargain!

We really liked this camera until yesterday and we got the famous Canon Lens Error. (do a search on the web for Canon e18 error). My wife took a picture of the kids for Christmas and switched the camera to play mode to review the shot and it blacked out the LCD with a message that said LENS ERROR, RESTART CAMERA. She did so, and it started making a grinding noise. The camera is now junk and not worth fixing. THANKS CANON!

This has been an excellent camera thus far. Used it at a college backetball and from the last row in the arena I was able to get close ups of the floor. Would recommend it.

I bought this camera in July, 2007. I inserted the batteries that they came with and used the camera during 2 weddings and a vacation, taking over 300 pictures. I was very impressed by that. The pictures are very clear and sharp. I use Shutterfly which says the pictures can print up to 20x30! I haven't had the chance to try other features, I mostly stick to Auto, with and without the flash. It is truly an easy camera to use!

UPDATE--Aug, 2008--I recently just used the video feature on the camera for the first time and it is amazing. The picture is clear and crisp and the sound quality is excellent. I was very pleasantly surprised. I would recommend this camera to anyone. It is always in my purse and I use it often.

This was the second Canon A460 that we purchased to give as a gift, the first to our son and this one for our older daughter.
It takes beautiful pics, has user friendly features, and is value priced.
I expect we'll buy a third for our younger daughter in the not-too-distant future.

I've had my eye on a Canon brand camera for years now. After being dissapointed by some other brands in the same price range (Fuji, Olympus) I thought it was finally time to give Canon the go around, and I must say I am rather pleased. The only negative I can think of is that it is not as fast as I thought it would be in continuous picture mode (where it takes consecutive pictures over and over). And also perhaps there aren't too many resolution options. It's either tiny picture, huge picture, or really huge picture. Because for me, I'm never going to have a picture printed out at poster size.
I really love the different manual settings however, and for the money I would say it's one of the best point and shoot cameras you can get.

Very covenient Camera, just using 2 AA batteries for power. Easy and fast to operate. Pictures clear and and beautiful with colors. I'am very satisfied with this camera.

This is the fourth digital camera I've purchased in the last five years (a point-shoot and DSLR for myself, and two point-shoots as gifts for others).

If you were spending nearly $400 for 3 megapixel cameras in 2001, it's amazing to see what's available for half that price today.

This was purchased for my mom, who is well into her 70s, and has been selling on Ebay for a few years. Her product pictures on a very low end camera she bought a few years ago really needed some help.

This camera is fairly intuitive, and worked well out of the box.

No strong negatives, but prepare for the following:

Some of the the menus are complex and options I would consider commonly used (like photo resolution) are rather deeply buried.

The memory card and batteries are located within the same access door on the bottom of the camera. This seems like a good way to end up picking up batteries.

The bundled software is only OK. You can get a better organizer for free (Google's Picasa) and the editing software is nothing to get excited about.

The flash options are limited to "auto flash" and "no flash". I was surprised not to find a "manual flash" to force flash operation (this may be one of the deeply buried options).

It has lots of "scenario" presets (kids and pets, landscape, etc), but none of these seemed to offer any improvement over full auto. Inexplicably, the "nightscape" setting doesn't turn of the flash.

If your needs are simple (and if you are already running an organizer like Picasa or the one in Photoshop Elements v5) then this camera should be more than adequate.

An ok camera but not what it is cracked up to be. Recycle after flash is very slow, optical lens does an adequate job but does not match up to the Nikon quality. If you are looking for a great camera at a good price with wonderful features, checkout the Nikon coolpix 501

The 630 is a great camera. Good pictures. My daughtr uses it as a video cam almost as much as for stills. Now I just hope it outlasts my first digital camera ,the Canon 610. I always treated the 610 with kid gloves, but the lcd died on this camera after only 15 months. This is something that has happened to quite afew 610 owners, but Canon will not admit to a flaw in this model. My review of the 610 can be seen in the 610 section.
Why did I buy Canon again? We fell in love with the 610, the 630 has a larger lcd which also swivels. This particular feature I would find it hard to do with out.

The camera is good, but when you use it in a frozon weather, the batteries (AA) are dead, much less performance compare to lithium battery design.
Also, it is too big for entertainment using.

I bought my S80 on the recommendation of those fine people at dpreview, who describe this camera as suitable for a serious photographer wanting DSLR capability in a compact. After a week of fiddling and testing in various conditions, I'm really impressed with both the camera and the accuracy of the dpreview.

No, this tiny little box will not replace your DSLR. It's small sensor and lens handicap it in medium and low light. Faint noise begins appearing in shadows at ISO 100, noise is visible at ISO 200, and very visible at ISO 400. You probably won't go beyond 4X6 size at ISO 200 with "good" results. Zoom is restricted, and there are some corner problems when the lens is wide. I've found it tricky not shaking this tiny, light machine when I press the trigger without support. Autofocus is reliable and efficient, but not "fast" by DSLR standards.

But at ISO 50 (and sometimes 100), this camera can shoot smooth, clean pictures with rich, accurate colors and resolution good enough for 8X10 prints (maybe even larger) that could be suitable for framing. For a compact, I think this camera's dynamic range is terrific---it can capture small tonal and color differences in both the light and dark areas of a picture almost as well as my Canon DSLR, and that's saying a lot. Even at ISO 200 and 400, when noise begins to mar the picture, you still get an admirable amount of detail and color.

And, wow, who ever heard of a compact non-DSLR that can fill an entire 1 gig card with continuous full size fine jpegs? In shutter priority mode, my S80 has shot 17 frames in ten seconds (7 frames in ten seconds in aperture priority) without having to come up for air! I used both SanDisk Extreme and Ultra II SD cards, and the little guy just didn't stop clicking.

There is no raw mode, but if you enjoy fiddling with your pics in Photoshop, take the sage advice from the dpreview people and turn down the constrast, saturation, and sharpness. You will get a raw-er jpeg image out of the camera, that can be custom tweaked in post-processing. I've been amazed at some of the results.

If you're accustomed to DSLR performance, you'll be giving up a lot when you put the S80 in your pocket and leave your camera bag at home. But I've been having a blast just exploring the limits of this camera, and am convinced it will capture some great impromptu pictures over the next year. The flaws I've noted tempted me to rate this camera a 4, but that just wouldn't be fair. The S80 is made to go in your pocket, and you just can't expect a cigarette box sized camera to perform like a two pound DSLR with an L lens. There are 8X10's I've shot with my S80 that look like they were shot with a DSLR, and that's why I'm impressed (again) with those guys at Canon. My S80 is going a lot of places with me. It is the best compact I've ever owned.

If you do not know anything about digital cameras, and are not prepared to read the manual several times, avoid this product or ask someone to help you out.

If you are camera savvy, you may want to spend a bit more and get a better camera, some of my pictures came out blurry when I shot in the morning light and the flash (automatic mode) did not fire.

the instruction manual is overly complicated if you just want to take pictures and upload them to your computer. Probably written by nerds who live and breathe digital cameras!

A great buy for the money, just spend another $20 on a 2 gigabyte card and throw the 16 megabyte card that came with the camera out. No need to buy rechargeable batteries, two AA Duracells last a long time, even when using the playback mode extensively.

This is a great camera because of the quality, it's a Canon, takes clear pictures, and it's easy to use. I bought the case so I just slip it on my belt and have a 2.0MP card so I can take like 900 photos or videos. The size and it has no stabilizer are it's pit falls. You can't put the camera in your pocket or purse and if you have a problem shaking, the photo may come out fuzzy, I haven't experienced it yet. It's digital so you can always review the photos when taken. I found the night photos did not come out very clear, I experienced that with my two other digital cameras also.I went to Hawaii with it, best move I ever made- B++++ overall, A+++ Quality and Price.

My 11 year old daughter did yardwork all spring to earn $$ for a decent digital camera. We then studied reviews, and found the Canon PowerShot A460. She has carried and used this camera non-stop for the past month, and it continues to stand up to abuses while taking photos better than my more expensive (older) Canon digital. She loves it, and is the envy of her group of 11 year old buddies. They make movie shorts, take it to the beach and sleepovers, roll under the dog, etc. The controls are intuitive, and under her own power she's figured out how to attach it to the TV to show off her work to family, download photos to our computer and send them to friends, send images to Costco for processing (with my permission), etc. I love that it used AA batteries. This wonderful little camera is keeping her entertained and educated all summer. Oh, and the photos really are amazing.

I wanted this for a long time. It's a great camera with lots of features. The macro lense is WONDERFUL as is the zoom. It's easy to use and takes aa battery's to operate. I kind of wish it took a rechargable ion battery, but whatever. I recommend it for sure.
