Отзывы о Цифровой Фотоаппарат Canon PowerShot SX160 IS

Bought this for my wife for Christmas. It's a great camera that fits in her purse for those impromptu moments that she wishes she had one with her. very impressed with the images it captures for such a low price.

Love this camera. Best we have ever owned, except for low light performance. It does hunt a little to focus in low light, sometimes not being able to focus automatically (Our Sony was amazing in low light, but not as good overall)

After doing a lot of research, purchasing here definitely gave me the best value. Delivery was prompt and my camera was in perfect shape.

I'll only mention things that I didn't pick up or remember from the other reviews I've read. I also own a 4.0MP Canon A520, so it was easy to choose the same great zoom lens.

The A460 does not have the auto-rotate feature to save photos in the appropriate portrait or landscape modes. The battery and SD card are accessed through a common door, which doesn't have quite the snap and tight fit of the A520's smaller separate doors. The handshake symbol also tends to show up often when taking indoor pictures with the flash disabled - something I don't even think about with the A520. The zoom buttons were actually more intuitive to use than I expected. But I do prefer the SET button in the center of the joypad on the A520, as I tend to forget to reach down and to the left for the SET button on the A460.

But I'm nit-picking here. Otherwise, it's a great point-and-shoot camera, with a great zoom lens, and at a great price.

I have received this camera about 10 days ago from Amazon and I have been highly impressed. I own a 5MP Sony cybershot DSC-P10 and a Canon EOS300D as well and this is a great in-between camera for when I want to take great pictures, but don't want to carry a big bag of gear.
For a 7MP camera a price of £190 is great and you notice a few things were done to keep the price low. The pack comes only with a starter manual as the real manual is on CD. It comes with 4 * AA size batteries, but you can easily use rechargeables yourself. Almost everyone has a charger for these anyway. I used to think this was a major disadvantage because it makes the camera quite a bit heavier. However a few months ago I went on holiday with some friends and we two of us ran out of battery power. Since I did not bring my Sony recharger I was stuck, but my friend was able to walk into the nearest souvenir shop and buy 4 standard alkaline AA batteries for about a 1£ and was able to shoot again.
There are 3 things about this camera that set it apart from most other similar small digital cameras.
1. The vari-angle LCD is great. You can hold the camera in any position and see it. Particularly if you want to hold the camera in front of you to make a picture of yourself or place it somewhere to use the self-timer and see the display from a distance.
2. By adding a tube to the camera it can be fitted with filters and/or a wide-angle/ Tele lens. The problem with this tyope of camera is usually that you can't get a decent wide-angle shot. I bought a set (filter, wide angle, tele and ring adapter) on Ebay and they do a good job for about £40. regretfully the official adapters are ridiculously expensive. Its £80 for the wide angle on its own.
3. It has a stitch function that allows you to make exact overlapping pictures to later put them together on your computer. No more guessing as you can see exactly how to do it virtually perfect.
4. The camera has similar to SLR's a lot of manual settings. So if you are not happy leaving it on 'Auto', most things can be adjusted.
A negative is (as with most compacts) that as you increase the ISO setting, the pictures get a little noisy. That is really were this camera can't compare to an SLR.
Probably the most important thing is that it really makes great pictures for such a reasonably priced camera. I am very happy with this purchase and can advise this camera to anyone.

It is so nice to have such a great time and great pictures without being a professional photographer. Ninety percent of my pictures (hundreds of them) were taken in auto mode and they are beautiful. My house is filling up with picture frames and memories of places visited while we are living in Germany. Good Job Cannon!

I have been reading great reviews of the Canon Powershot for several years, and having taken a bunch of high-rez pictures on a Sharp, was ready for an upgrade.

Welllll... the camera is easy to use, light, simple to operate... but the pictures aren't the excellent quality I have come to expect from Canon. Good, but not great.

Service was okay, a bit slow to ship and advertised the product as new (it was not), but when they didn't have the smaller storage chip we ordered, they substituted a 1Gig which went a long way toward consoling us.

Again, good, maybe even very good, but not great.

I researched this camera before purchasing and knew I would be making a wise purchase considering the price and ease of use. I have a higher end camera (digital SLR) that I'm very fond of, but wanted a point and shoot to slip in my purse. I'm not disappointed I bought this one... the colors are amazing! If you are looking for a beginner camera, this is the one. If you are a more experienced photographer and want a camera to slip in your pocket that you can rely on, this one will work for you too!

We bought this camera for our son to use on the Appalachian Trail. He has been on the trail over 2 months, and the camera is still working like new. Two months doesn't sound like much time, but he has taken over 3,500 pictures with it. Also, he has fallen in the water with it in its case twice, getting it damp enough to have drops of water all over it. It has been damp many times from drenching rain, but he did keep it in its case. He never used the camera in the rain, so as not to damage it. Despite all of this, it still works well. One complaint he has is that it is hard to take close ups clearly and, since it does not have anti shake or an action setting, some pictures are blurry from his hand shaking sometimes. Otherwise, this is a great camera.

The camera gives me what I want. Good zooming function, large LCD,
quick shot, moderate weight and volume, and cool appearance.
However, the noise on the LCD is more obvious than another camera of mine in dark place.But it works pretty good when outdoor. Anyway, it is a good camera for the price and I like it very much.

I have been using my Canon A460 for 10 days now. What I can say about it is that I'm truly satisfied with my purchase. Some days before, I had bought a Canon SD1000 camera but I didn't like it and asked for a refund: too small for my fingers, seemingly too fragile for traveling around because of its compactness. I'm quite pleased with what I bought afterwards: a nice camera, fitting well in your palm, with lots of features, not too long to get used to, well laid out controls, rendering sharp and crisp photos. In some words: really inexpensive for all it can give you. A real bargain!

This is one of those nice cameras that's so well done, it's easier to talk about what the camera ISN'T, rather than what it IS! This camera is not a small, shirt pocket camera, and might be a bit bigger than a woman would wish to carry in a purse. It's not a super-tele camera, but it does have a respectable, bit longer than average 4x optical zoom.

Using the camera, it has a good weight and feel for average sized hands. The use of AA batteries helps keep the cost down, and has it's own advantages, although some may prefer the longer life charges of Lithium-Ion batteries (I do). General, controls are well thought out and easy to use. The zoom is nice and smooth.

For those that prefer an optical viewfinder, Canon is probably the strongest supporter, and this is a better than average viewfinder, although it does not have a diopter adjustment. But you'll probably never use it with the tremendous 2.5" rotary screen. Yes, there are 3" screens on the market, but this dwarfs anything on a hinge! It is a great aid in composing photos at low, high, or other odd angles (photos you simply didn't take before).

Another feature that gets high praise is the flex-focus system. Today's AF cameras do a decent job, but occassionally, they just don't hit on the right focus point. With the flex system, you can determine which point to use. This is simply great for crowded rooms or nature photos where the subject may not be the closest item within the focusing areas.

Control for this price point is very good indeed. Multiple "scene" modes make it easy for the novice (ok, or sometimes lazy pro), while the semi-auto and manual modes give even experienced users all they need.

Simply put, this camera could have easily been priced $50 to $100 more. The only real competition is the A640, $100 more, 10 meg, and a bit more attractive black finish.

This is a great camera for anyone to use. Its very simple to set up and use, so even the people who just bought their first digital camera can use it with ease. It also allows you to "mess around" with the settings if your a more advanced user. The flash works great. A great feature that this camera has is the option to change the type of picture you want. You can change the settings so you can take still portrait shots, kid & pets shots for moving targets, foliage, beach shots in bright sunlight, take great pics of fireworks, and more. This is a great camera if your a amatuer photographer that just takes pictures at special events for some memories, or if your an advanced photographer looking to take some killer pictures.

I owned one of these before but it was stolen. I missed it so much, I bought another one.
This camera takes excellent macro photos which is the main reason I bought it.
I am very surprised that one can purchase a camera of this quality for a couple hundred bucks.
It uses standard AA batteries and a standard SD card. It's very easy to use and takes great pictures. What else could you want? Buy it already!

I bought this camera after reading the somewhat mixed reviews here, but I have to say its really one of the best purchases I ever made. I recently took it to Costa Rica and have been wowed by its performance. Its takes amazing movies with great resolution. It also takes very good pictures. The only thing it does not do well is do either if it is dark - this creates alot of noise. But if you take pictures outside or inside with the flash it does a great job. Its so convenient to just grab it out of your pocket and take a movie or a picture. A must buy for anyone that wants a portable video camera that also takes pictures!

Certainly it has limitations, and one need some learning with it, but I didn't wait for next year's improvements!
Valuable as second camera at events, where my Sony HC1 is set up (with permissions) as the principal video, the TX1 for those audience and second angle shots needed.
Valuable as tourist camera, compact to carry and use, sufficient 7M photo resolution so I don't need two cameras for everyday use. Independent audio recording (voice and up to hifi) is a useful feature.
The 720 line resolution combines with the higher resolution (1080 line) of the HC1, in the Mac iMovie and iDVD editing programs.

I love this camera. It was in my price range and it takes awesome pictures. Since it takes AA's I would recommend buying the lithium batteries. They cost a bit more, but they last really long. I got my camera in May and I'm only on my second pair of batteries. I would definitely recommend this camera.

This camera needs light. The flash is weak. It does take a good video though, but again, in bright light. I just ordered the aux flash, I hope that helps the pictures. The size is nice, fits in the pocket, and it's great not to have to carry a len cap since it's built in. The battery is not long on life, so I ordered an extra one of that. The zoom is great for such a small camera. All in all, I am happy with it, the pros out weigh the cons.

The camera seemed ok till it broke. The button that adjusts the zoom doesn't function nor does the button you press for photos. We've taken good care of it so we're surprised it doesn't work. We're not sure what to do now. Not sure if the warranty will cover.

This little camera was my first digital. It was the quality of the on line samples that convinced me. The colors are true to life, not that pastel look. This is what I've been looking for. A digital point and shoot that renders true colors. It has a very good clear view finder. Unfortunately, it has no diopter. But the view finder on this one is very clear. A lot of you may not have a problem with no diopter. I wrote to canon expressing my concern that view finders & diopters are still in demand. The LCD screen on this washes out in bright sunlight. The movies that this camera produces are very good for a camera of this type. I'm still learning about how to use the scene modes, so not much to share with you there. I do like the "P" mode for changing ISO settings & "vivid" colors. The ability to change the "EV" settings in certain lighting situations is a big help, as "auto" doesn't always achieve what you want. You have the ability to change the focus & light metering. Bottom line, you get a lot of bang for your buck here. If you are looking to get started with digital as I was, this will certainly open lots of fun & interesting doors. Experiment. Take lots of pictures. You can have fun while learning. I did.

This camera starting surprising me the day a bought it. I've had mine for over one year now. The picture quality I experiance with this camera is unmatched.

I would have to say the video quality is good. If you're outdoors and have planty of light you'll be happy with the video. Indoors or lower light situations not so much.

Overall, this is an awesome camera for it's size and price.

I have never used a digital camera before acquiring this Canon Powershot A 550 from Amazon at a very good price.
I wanted to take it with me on a 2 week trip. It arrived promptly and I quickly began taking pictures, downloaded several to my IMac computer, and made some prints by direct hook-up to my Canon multi-function printer/copier/scanner. Everything worked well. I took it on our trip and took over 120 photos. I will be shortly be editing this collection and saving a few to the computer, then deleting the digital card (1GB) clean, for reuse on other photo opportunities. This experience has been an eye-opener. I still have a hugh amount to learn about the wonderful capabilities of this Canon system.

Received the Canon camera which I was giving to my daughter for Christmas. Shipping was fast and so far, she is very happy with the camera and it's performance. I am pleased

Its an excellent camera about the best ive ever used. And the
SERVICE from Amazon is as always the very best.
