Отзывы о Цифровой Фотоаппарат Canon PowerShot SX160 IS

These things are available individually and of equal quality locally, esp. the battery recharger. A Panasonic, higher rated in the reviews, would have served equally. However, they are as advertised and arrived in a very timely manner. I'm criticizing my shopping!!!

Hi

I bought this camera after having the powershot A80, which unfortunatley got stolen. I loved th powershot A80, and this camera, being the younger successor to the A80 is also a good camera. It is fast, has good picture quality, the battery life is great and it is a really good camera if you are new to getting into phtoography and want to learn a little more about shutter speed and aperture.

One of my only gripes is that it doesn't seem that great in low light. It always moans at me about taking a potentially unsteady shot when the light is low, and I don't remember the A80 ever being that fussy. But I think it is down to cramming 7 MP into the same sensor size as the 4 MP of the A80, so each pixel becomes smaller, and therefore less sensitive to light.

I have taken some really great photos with this camera, and would only replace it by moving up to a digital SLR, however I would still use it as an everyday carry around camera.

It's metal frame construction makes it quite robust too. I have dropped it on many occasions, once on a solid stone floor, from 6 feet, and aside from a little dent in the casing, it worked fine.

I recommend it!

i have to say I LOVE my camera. if you are looking for a fairly easy camera with all kinds of options that are easy to figure out (like at the aquarium or very bright lights...) this camera is for you. I also got a set of rechargeable batteries and a 2G memory card (i have filled twice in two weeks) the video is very nice..the speed is great for this price of cameras. the best i have seen. i spent weeks comparing price, priorities(pixels, eye finder, batteries, etc.) and customer review...I am VERY pleased with my choice.
things i LOVE that i was not looking for...
the rotating screen (i like to throw it in my purse and it is protected)
rechargeable batteries.

My favorite setting is the "kids and pets" with the continuous picture thingy.(i am not a camera expert)...going down a pool slide or jumping of the diving board is GREAT!! all in focus!!
LOVE IT!!!

The image quality is amazing and all the features are really good. Quality-wise, you can't really ask for more at the price. However, it is pretty bulky and, it might just be the old rechargeable AA batteries I'm using, but I always seem to get terrible battery life.

Edit: I found the source of this problem. My rechargeable batteries were 1850 mAh, I switched to 2500 mAh ones and they last forever. This camera is flawless for the price with that issue out of the way!

I previously owned a Nikon Coolpix 3.1 MP camera, so that had set my expectations before buying the Powershot A630. This camera is a HUGE upgrade in many areas, including:

* Fast startup

* Image quality (which is an obvious one going from 3.1 to 8 megapixels)

* Ability to shoot images in low light

* The flip open/hide screen is great too. By not using the screen (which is the normal condition when I shoot) it saves battery life.

* The fact that it uses standard AA batteries instead of expensive camera batteries.

* Even the included software to manage the downloads and view/edit images is an upgrade

The only negatives I can think of are:

* Heavy in comparison to other cameras I've had/tested

* Battery life isn't great. That may have to do with my choice of batteries, too.

* It should come with a case

Excellent camera and excellent price. I have taken beautiful pictures of the grand canyon and New Orleans. Everyone on the trip wants my pictures!

Good case. Tested it in our local lake and in the swimming pool. Works well, no leaks so far. Have not had a chance to test with scuba. However, I was disappointed to find out that this is NOT a case for US market. It came with warranty card removed. I've already sent back one case from another dealer that had warranty card in Japanese. Dealer explained to me that it was much cheaper to directly import it from Japan. This one from Amazon had no warranty card at all. I guess, Amazon started cut corners also.
This means, it will not be covered by US warranty if it leaks. Otherwise, no complains.

Bought this as an upgrade to my older 2.1mp canon camera, and was not disappointed. Even with 1600x1200 resolution images (good enough for 4x6 prints) I can get 3600+ on a 2GB card which was more than enough for a 2 week vacation. I could also easily change resolutions for those times when I needed the extra resolution.

One plus I found was being able to use regular AA batteries, even though the batteries I had died, I could replace them easily and kept shooting, something I could not do with my other camera which had a special rechargeable battery and charger.

Another thing I was surprised was the 16x (combined 4x optical and 4x digital). Even though I was far away, I could still get a decent picture that was not all that degraded, a substantial gain from the 5x (optical + digital) from my older camera.

Image quality and video quality are better than average but not great - however I am happier saving many many memories in better than average quality, rather than very few memories in high quality. THe price is right. CAVEAT - definitely need more than one battery - the battery life is very poor

i have this camera since January of 2006 and it still amazes me how much Canon s80 can do!!!
even my friends who are into photography and have a number of DSLRs are quite amazed on Canon s80's capabilities!
this is really the best!!!
you will be amazed at how much manual settings this has.
I was supposed to buy a dslr but i wanted a camera that can capture videos..so I opted to find the next best thing... CANON S80!!!
i never regretted buying this.
I am sooo happy because instead of a decrease in market price, i am so surprised to see how much it is now.
i remember buying my camera for 300 something, almost 400 USD but now, it seems that it's around 500. wow!

I had a 1.3 megapixel camera and the quality was just okay. I thought it was time to upgrade to at least a 5 megapixel and I couldn't decide on what to get. Did some research and found this is one of the cameras recommended in PC World's June issue. It was was a decision between this camera and the Nikon Coolpix. After reading on-line reviews on many websites, I decided on the Canon Powershot A460 camera. I've only had for a few weeks and I still have some learning, but I'm extremely happy with the quality and features. I got the blue model at a local store for $129 plus tax and I would highly recommend this. I took a practice shot of my flowers (see above), using the macro mode and it turned out great.

Tempted by a Canon cashback deal, I decided to go for the A640. I have a Canon 300D SLR and have found that the A640 produces superior images to that, although it can't match the flexibility of being able to choose from a selection of lenses.The LCD screen is moveable which allows you to go for some of the more difficult/unusual shots. It is very easy to use, focuses accurately, and feels solid when handled. The battery life of its 4 AA cells is exceptional. I opted for a Lowepro D-Res 10 compact camera pouch and can recommend this 100%. If you need a camera that you can rely upon to produces high quality photos, but don't want a big SLR, then this could be for you.

The A620 is somewhere in between a compact digital camera and a DSLR. It offers some of the more advanced features of a DSLR but in a more compact size, and for a great price.
It takes fantastic quality photos.
Pros:
- it has a good solid feel to it, not too heavy, and with a decent right-hand grip which compacts don't have. It may not be a pocket-sized compact, but it's not exactly a dead-weight either. A good mid-size.
- a 4x optical zoom, conveniently located around the shutter release button.
- very good focussing, and the facility to do your own spot focus. The focussing is faster than many cameras I've seen.
- shutter and aperture priority modes for those who like to experiment, along with a perfectly adequate point and shoot auto mode.
- it has a view finder, albeit just for centering shots. You can't expect the full viewfinder functionality of a DSLR in such a small camera, but it makes a difference to those of us used to looking through a viewfinder, even if you can't see how well focussed it is through it.
- it takes high-speed SD memory, which is necessary for fast photo and video writing.
- the video mode is also very impressive, and you can use the zoom whilst videoing.
- it has a good selection of semi-auto picture modes, including night-time shots, self-timer, and continuous shutter modes. All very easy to set up.
- takes no time to get itself into a ready state.
- picture access is very fast, especially with a high-speed SD card.
- the swivel screen is a huge bonus for when you can't take pictures at head height. It is very clear in poor light and in bright light.
Cons:
- the supplied 32meg SD card is woefully inadequate, although it does get you started.
- the Adapter plug cover is very flimsy, and is difficult to shut with the wrist-strap on. For a solid camera, this is a bit surprising.
- the supplied alkaline batteries will quickly get used up, so invest in a set of 2300 mah batteries with a fast charger.
- as usual, there is no case supplied so you'll have to cough up yet more money.
- the red-eye reduction isn't all that good, but most software can get rid of that.
There is a very comprehensive review on this camera (and others in its range) on [...] which helped me decide on the A620. I am extremely pleased with this purchase and would recommend it to anyone who wants a versatile, quality camera without having to splash out on a larger and more expensive DSLR.
Nearer 5 stars than 4 for this, so 5 it is.

Buy this camera only if you feel like missing crucial shots that you would love to have. It is the slowest thing on earth.

I have a long list of canon cameras at use in my house. This one really surprised me! it is so much better than the compact cameras I currently had. It ,of course, takes great pictures! I had an A95 and upgraded to the 630. What an upgrade. The Macro shot ability of the 630 is incredible, the large view screen is sweet and the ability to flip the screen out for different bizarre angles is more of a plus than most people realize. The A95 has this feature as well, and when upgrading to the 630, I was not going to give up this sweet option.
all in all this is one of the best compact digital cameras I have had. No, it is not tiny, but, I am 6' tall and this camera doesn't feel like I am holding a deck of cards and trying to take a picture.

This is our first digital still camera. (We own two SONY Digital8 Handycams). We are very pleased with the performance so far after 4 weeks of use. The picture quality (sharpness, color balance) is better than I expected. The built-in electronic flash also has a longer range than expected resulting in much better exposed indoor pictures. And, the 4x optical zoom allows us to stand a little further from the person(s) being photographed so they're not as self-conscious and the photos have a better perspective and look more natural. (Their faces don't look like basketballs).

We have two Nikon SLRs with multiple lenses. We like the small size, all-in-one package with flash. I guess we got tired of carrying a big bag full of equipment around. You can't tell the differnce between our photos with the Canon vs. Nikon. The other bonus is cost of operating. No film to purchase and only pay for the prints you want. (Fewer shoeboxes/albums in the future!) We purchased it from Amazon on Sunday afternoon and received it in the mail on the following Wednesday. After reading other reviews, I learned that the memory card that comes with the camera is too small. TRUE! So, back to Amazon. I purchased a 1GB card along with a camera case (a special comination package). Both were a great addition. Thanks to all the people who offered reviews and to Amazon. They had the BEST PRICE I found anywhere, on line or in a store.

It is a good camera. I have had no problems with it after a month, and the pictures have turned out for the most part pretty well. It doesn't seem like it's very good at night sometimes, but I haven't mastered the night settings or shutter speeds yet, so I'm just talking about the auto setting. The optical zoom isn't very extensive, and forget about using the digital zoom, it's useless. It doesn't seem to be very heavy duty...a lot of the parts that you would think would be metal are made of plastic. But this also makes it lighter, if that is a concern.

Overall, I would recommend it. But the next step up in quality might be worth it, if you are looking for a camera that looks "neater".

I am the envy of my digital camera buddies. Screen size is incredible. Features exciting and easy to use.

I have used a Nikon Coolpix 990 for my work for the last 7 years but wanted something a little smaller/lighter. I chose the A640 as a replacement because it is smaller/lighter than the 990 but still uses AA batteries making it easy to get replacements in an emergency. It also has a flip-out LCD screen which allows me to get the camera into all sorts of angles - just like the 990 with its twist screen. I think I would have picked a Nikon again if the current alternative to the 990 had better shot-to-shot delay when using a flash - but it doesn't.

Good points. Smaller and lighter than the 990. Very quick to start up. The A640 has a mini-USB link so that getting pictures off the camera is easy. The manual setting is easy to use and is probably the best feature of the camera allowing you to get the best out of it. The flip-out LCD screen makes it easy to get the camera into all sorts of awkward angles. There is little if any shutter lag. Shot-to-shot delay is minimal even using the flash. Battery life is excellent even using the flash and the LCD continuously. ISO down to 800 means that taking pictures in low-light with or without the flash is a doddle.

Bad points. The images are a little more red/yellow compared with the Nikon. Getting the settings right to take pictures in Auto or Manual is more fiddly compared with the 990. Bottom line is that image quality is similar to the Nikon 990 but you have to work much harder to get that quality with the A640. Therefore, probably not much good as a camera to take holiday snaps but a good compromise for me to replace the 990.

Excellent camera. Very good picture quality. Optical zoom very effective with outdoor shots. Suggest you strongly consider this camera.

This is my first digital camera. After speaking to a friend who has sold cameras in the past, I was advised to go with a canon because they all have a glass lens instead of plastic. I find this camera very easy to use. After reading the owners manual only once I am able to use the manual settings easily. The only problem I have had, is that when I use manual mode and zoom in on anything, I tend to get blurry pictures. I'm assuming this is a problem with me not the camera. I may need to adjust shutter speed in some of these modes. I purchased lithium batteries and have been pleased with the battery life. The software is easy to use, and uploading pictures to my computer and the internet has been easy. I have not printed any yet. My sister also has a canon powershot, the one she has is 5 megapixels and she is just as pleased as I am with my 7.1 megapixel. I think this camera was great deal for the price.

I think I looked at every camera on the Amazon site and figured out and compared each one to decide which one to buy. I finally decided that I needed a camera that used AA batteries and used a SD card. So then I started comparing the Canons and reading the reviews. I couldn't figure out why the A630 cost about the same as the A620, so decided to buy the one with the most pixels. As you can tell, I am not a camera expert; but, just an ordinary person wanting to take pictures that are above ordinary.

I had a cheap digital camera before that just wouldn't take pictures inside. I could put them in a photo software program and lighten them up a bit, but they just weren't good quality.

A lot of my pictures are taken indoors of kids,people and pets. No one ever shows those pictures when they post them as an example though. I was very concerned that if I got a new camera, it wouldn't be too much different.

Thank goodness the Canon A630 takes great indoor pictures even in my low- light living room. It is absolutely amazing. I have a 14x30 ft. living room dining room combination and when I take a picture at night on one end of the room, the other end of the room shows up well lit up too.

There are lots of digital cameras out there that don't take good indoor pictures. This camera is not one of them. I'm so happy I decided on the Canon A630. I can hardly wait to take Christmas pictures with it! I know they will be great.

Nice little camera that took great pictures. After 2 months, with camera in mint condition, lens cover suddenly wouldn't open completely. Sent in (extremely well packaged) for warranty repair and Canon said it would cost $93 to fix because the lens ring was dented and it wasn't covered under warranty. When I protested it was in perfect condition, they said they could give me a 10% discount on the cost of repair. I asked Canon to return it to me unrepaired. Amazingly, it now contains a very visible dent in the lens ring. No dings, dents or scratches otherwise. I guess this is how Canon can avoid doing warranty repairs. I trusted the Brand, but won't again. If considering buying, do your research. The internet contains lots of information, including a threatened class action suit, against the Canon A series cameras because of lens problems.

This is an excellent camera/camcorder. My first batch of pictures turned out excellent, similar to my old Sony point-shoot camera. Video is actually better than my Sony miniDV camcorder. Make sure you buy enough SD cards as a 4GB SD card will get you 1 hour of video.
