Отзывы о Цифровой Фотоаппарат Canon PowerShot SX160 IS

I purchased this camera to have in addition to my Panasonic Z30. I wanted something I could carry in my purse and have handy at any time. Though I do take my big camera when shooting up in the hills and need that extra zoom, I am so happy with this little baby. In some ways I like it more than the Panasonic. It is fast, handy and takes beautiful pictures. It has movie mode that works good for a digital still camera and even has sound. All those times I wish I had something I could just grab and shoot, now I do. I highly recommend the Canon A550 and the price is the clincher. Great quality for little money. Can't find that much anymore.

What a difference a camera can make! I purchased the HP equivalent to this camera about six months ago. About 2 months after purchasing it, it started giving me lens errors and the camera would not turn on! Not only that but the pictures I did get just weren't that impressive. So I purchased this little guy and let me tell you, the difference is amazing. I love the fact that it has a large screen and different modes for children and pets (I have both). I also really love the fact that you can focus yourself, this allows me to take some great shots of things that I could never take with other cameras. It reminds me of my older more expensive manual Canon. It comes with wires to hook it up to my big screen and even enlarged, the pictures are amazing! I got this camera for a steal and I would have paid full price!

If I had realized how grainy and so much like the original digital cameras from the late 90s this was, I would never have purchased it. I based my decision to buy on the price and the reviews, but this camera is not suitable for anything more than a child. The pictures remind me of the square first digital cameras that came out and the grain is like the Disc cameras from the 1980s. NOT a good purchase. Pay a tiny bit more and get a Sony or another model than this one for an outstanding picture.

My three year old digital (2 MP) camera's battery door broke (pretty cheap plastic) and the search was on for a more modern camera. My daughter recently got a very small slim Canon and I was impressed with the features and quality. However I wanted a camera that could use AA batteries and small size was not a top priority. I also wanted a good size LCD display and an optical viewfinder (yes, I know I'm old fashioned). This Powershot A540 seemed to have all the features I wanted. I have had it for a few weeks and have taken it on a trip where it worked flawlessly. The image quality has been very good. The movie feature is nice as long as you don't use the zoom. I recommend getting a 1GB SD card right away. The 16 MB one that comes with the camera is a joke.

One of the most pleasing discoveries was that regular AA batteries lasted quite a long time. I typically don't use the LCD screen when I'm taking pictures so I'm sure that helps. I recommend taking the time to read the very detailed and complete manual as this little gem has a huge amount of features and capabilities to please any amateur/family photographer.

Last but not least, Amazon offers this camera at a very attractive price not found on the street.

Based on the pictures I've taken, I'd say that the quality is very good. Outside pictures are outstanding, and colors well balanced (you can always touch that up in Picasa or other).

If you're looking for a versatile, low priced digital camera this one fits the bill.

This product is more user friendly than advertised. Pictures are very
professional. I love the cameral!!!! One very minor quirk, memory chip
that comes in new camera only holds 6 - 8 pictures and this is not noted
in the english language "How to operate" manual. With its new 2GB card it
is flawless. Consumers Reports was conservative in their praise of this
product.

Being a Wildland Forest Fire Fighter you get to see and do things that most don't get to experience in a life time. I got this camera right before I was sent off to the Castle Rock fire in Warm Springs/Ketchum, Idaho..that you may have seen/heard on the news. I was thrilled to see the picture quality and versatillity with the different shooting modes. My pictures turned out great. Though, my memory card didn't hold as many pictures as I would have liked....around 20-22 with 16MB disk. Overall, this camera fits my needs.

Wow! So much is packed into this tiny camera, and the pictures it takes are awesome!

It comes with a book for basic use, as well as advanced use. It works well for someone like me that just wants to point and shoot, and get great photos.

I recently went to Disneyland, and the photos I took were phenomenal. Night photos, ones that came out clear even when moving (like on a ride) and the flash photos were outstanding. Great colors too.

The only complaint I have is that it takes too long between photos for the camera to take again. Otherwise, I love it!

Great camera, easy to use - one draw back, must get a memory card with more memory... $20.00 or so... , However, GREAT CAMERA.

I had been looking for a new digital camera for over a year. I finally made this my pick. At first I wasn't happy with the menus and settings. But after testing it for a few weeks, I'm very pleased with it.

The pictures are outstanding!! If you have never used a Canon digital(I hadn't) the menu settings and multiple picture settings can be overwhelming. Just set it to "auto" the pics come out great. Then you can slowly learn the various setting(if you want to). I'm a geek so I tested them all.

-It starts up within 2 seconds and the time between shots is just over 1 second(really).

-The flippable LCD screen is great, but, the quality of the image on the LCD is only fair. If this is important to you, this camera is not for you. It really doesn't matter to me, I prefer the optical view finder for 99% of my shots.

-There is NO information displayed in the optical view finder.

-Very comfortable in the hand.

-There is no battery meter (just tells you need to replace).

-A little larger and heavier than a "pocket" camera.

-It takes four AA batteries - which is great, can get them anywhere - no waiting for recharge.

-For a still camera it takes great videos.

I would recommend this camera. It's not perfect - but after much research, it was a good choice for the price range.

Also, I bought a 1GB memory card - so I don't have to work about running out of space.

I bought this camera for my sister. Consumer Reports said that it was a great budget camera, and it's small enough that she thinks it's cool. She also liked the brushed metal front. It's been a few weeks now, and I know she's having fun with her new camera. If you want a quality digital camera without spending quite as much money, this is a good bet.

I am a basic camera user--I know just enough to be dis-satisfied with run-of-the-mill point and shoot cameras, but not so much that I need or want something fancy and advanced. Mostly I need a camera for point and shoot convenience, though I sometimes get artsy and experimental. I've found that the Canon A620 fits both of these needs.

I have small hands, and the camera fits well. It is a little heavy and too large for pockets (at least for me--my boyfriend, however, has no problem carrying it in his pockets). I haven't yet learned how to use all the options on the camera, though I like those options because I feel it gives me room to grow as an amatuer photographer before I invest in a nice SLR.

Having an LCD screen that folds out of the camera body and rotates around has been fantastic for taking shots at awkward angles without hurting my neck, and for "seeing" if a shot is worth it while holding the camera up over my head (over crowds) where I could not see if I were relegated to a fixed LCD screen. Picture quality is tremendous in many different lighting situations, and I've been able to blow several photos up to 8"x10" with no problems.

My only complaint is that the loop for the wrist strap is extrememly close to the little plastic door that covers the USB port. With the wrist strap attached, it can be difficult to open the cover. Also, said cover feels a bit flimsy.

I certainly recommend this camera.

I have had my S-80 for over 6 months and have used it extensively. The photo quality is very acceptable and the package is certainly compact. The view screen is large and very easily seen. Having a dedicated optical viewer is a plus. Battery life is above average but Canon charges a fortune for a spare battery.
However, as an experienced user, I would like to pass these caveats on to potential buyers.
The S80 has an ultra compact control array. When using the camera, you will frequently (accidentally) press buttons and change settings while attempting to take photos. Canon has placed the tele switch and the camera/view switch exactly where your thumb always goes. This is unforgiveable ergonomic/design error. Additionally, the on off button is so very easily depressed while the camera is in its optional case. I advise to turn on the sound so that the user has some chance to be alerted to another accidental activation so the battery does not get wasted. Other controls are similarly too close together. Also, the bottom battery/flash card door opens if you merely graze it with a glancing touch. This turns the camera off instantly. Canon needs a safety interlock for this access door.
The specs call for very little shutter lag but I assure you that it can become infuriating. Frequently, the camera is as slow to fire as much earlier generation digitals. Not good at all. The S80 has a plethora of features with a soundly designed menu system. However, you will have to read, read read the manual since many controls are not at all intuitive and require specific instructions. All in all, the camera returns good pictures but I will move on to the next generation the second they become available and quickly forget this S80 with it's quirks and frustrations.

Canon products are just trouble free and reasonably priced, These were Christmas gifts for four teens.

This is a great camera, I have taken many pictures with the batteries right out of the box and they are still going strong. The many option to the camera are easy to figure out without having to research a lot i the books. The camera shuts down fast and turns on quickly. Both are good for saving battery life on shut down and if the perfect picture comes up you can get the shot.

The large LCD screen on the back is nice for viewing your pictures and looking at menu options without having to squint your eyes. I will be purchasing rechargeable batteries soon when the original batteries die so I can get even longer life before having to change the batteries out again.

I have had this camera for a year now and I must say it is still doing me a great service. I especially love all the features, such as the color accent and the fireworks setting. Even basic auto has turned up some especially nice images. I also find my number of blurred movement images has decreased from my previous camera and my close up images are clearer. All in all a great camera for the money, small and lightweight, I can carry it anywhere.
Any complaints I would have are normal for having an inexpensive camera, when I get my upgrade I will still think this camera is great, especially for everyday use.

This little guy rocks. You get most of the control and features of the bigger cameras but without the bulk. The really awesome feature that most people seem to over look is the tilt/rotating screen on the back of the camera. I would suggest that you should always buy a camera with this feature. It makes taking so many pictures easy. You can hold it over your head and see what you are taking, on the ground without laying down, and a favorite of mine is the self portrait of my wife and I. Just flip the screen and there you are, compose and shot.(helps to have long arms) Being the third or forth generation of chip for Cannon I am impressed with the blacks in low light. Older cameras the blacks seem to get real noisey. I am not a huge fan of digital zooms but this one holds up ok, but it just can't be perfect. And if you use the right batteries you really can get 300-400 pictures out of this guy. I would suggest this camera over it counterparts up to the 10-12 megapixel area just for the control and the flip screen. To my knowledge the megapixel differance doesn't come into play unless you triple the pixels and even in those cases with most people using just 4x6,5x7 and some 8x10s you not going to see it unless you have to do major cropping. I have also given two of these as gifts and everybody seems to be very impressed with the overall performance. One problem I have with mine is the battery door. It doesn't stay completely closed and the camera shuts off so it is now on its way back to Cannon. Even with that I would still buy another. Hope this helps.

I love this camera. My fiancé and I bought this as a great camera to have around since my old camera took really blurry pictures. It was a great investment. It takes great pictures and has an excellent shutter speed for a digital camera. It's really nice because we have a young kitten who runs around a lot. I would definitely suggest this camera to anyone I knew was buying a camera.

Im so glad to have buy this camera, It is by far more than I espected. Don't hesitate, If you have the money click buy. BTW you should also buy an SD Card (in my case I bougth a 2GB).

Bought this camera to replace my 35mm camera. Am pleased with the trade up that I made.

The shape is similar to my old film camera. Thought this would make it easier to adjust to the smaller size of it. It has made the transition relatively smooth. I'm sure there are smaller cameras out there, but this one is small enough. The display is also a good size - bigger than most that I looked at.

I am not a genius at computers, so I was concerned that I would need to adapt to downloading pictures from the camera to the PC. But, all I need to do is plug in the cord and click a button. Very easy to follow any instructions.

I did notice that the display "freezes" for a second or two after a picture is taken. This is not generally a problem for me as most pictures are posed shots. I did run into some lag time during an Easter egg hunt this past weekend, but still managed to get about a dozen good shots.

Overall, I like the camera and only wish I had gotten up the courage to go digital sooner.

The ordering process was extremely easy. The camera was delivered before the expected day of delivery. The product works great!

I've always had good experience with Canon. I own the S400, SD400, Rebel XT . I bought a few of these A530 for the warehouse folks to use and the lens keep locking up. It wouldn't retract. One after another. I have no idea why. The cheap Kodak ones didn't have the same problem. The warehouse is quite new so I don't know if it's dirt or what. Maybe being dropped once or twice lock it up? But how come the cheap Kodak survived? Mind boggling.

This camera amazes me. It's my first "real" digital camera, but I was taking amazing pictures right out of the box on auto-everything. Seemingly mundane pictures of say, a bee turn out incredible when you realize the level of detail allows you zoom in and count the hairs on the bees legs. I'm addicted to this thing and can't wait experiment and learn more about using it.

The video option works well also. Obviously you're limited by the size of your card (i'd recommend at least a 1Gb), but for quick movie clips I like it better than my digital camcorder. It saves them as .avi's so they're easily downloaded for editing/viewing on a PC. Pictures are also easy to download at reasonably fast speeds.

The available options allow you to customize almost everything, and they function logically once you understand the concepts (ISO, f stops, shutter speed, etc.)

The included software isn't as fancy as photoshop, etc. but is adequate for a beginner.

I like the fact it uses AA batteries (get some good rechargables while you're at it) so you can just buy new alkalines if you run out in a pinch. Battery life seems pretty good, but it'd be nice if it had a real battery meter. When you get the low battery signal it's almost too late.

Some may think the camera is too bulky, but I don't find it too bad, especially considering all the features packed inside. I also have big hands and have a hard time w/ some camera's tiny buttons. It's about the same as a simple film camera for size & weight.

The only complaint I have is the flimsy door for the AC/USB/RCA jacks panel. It doesn't like to stay closed on mine.

All in all, I can't recommend this camera highly enough. Just wish I'd had it a long time ago. I feel like I've missed some really good shots of my kid growing up.

Excellent digial camera, very easy to use right out of the box, excellent photos. I got this item for a very good price and fast shipping.

This is a tremendous camera. Forget the A640. If you can live with the silver rather than the black - you just don't have to pay for 10MPix. This camera will produce fantastic images. It can focus to just 1cm in macro mode - battery life is excellent and it runs on AAs. It has full manual, AV and shutter priority modes as well as two simple point and shoot modes - Program and Auto, plus a host of other features. Video mode is good quality - although you can't use the optical zoom once you start shooting in video.

On the down side it does seem to indicate camera shake indoors quite often when not on flash, but you can work round this by ensuring you don't have too much zoom. This camera is a great value - offering almost as much as the G7 for half the price and it has a flip out screen which you will come to love. It certainly has everything the 640 offers but with 8 MPix - on a compact you don't need any more.
