Отзывы о Цифровой Фотоаппарат Canon PowerShot SX160 IS

I'm actually excited about this camera because I could figure it out and take pictures right away. I will say that the battery compartment is a joke and I might end up breaking it at some point, but the battery life is good, so I don't have to risk it very often! This camera is bigger than most other newer cameras; however, it's by no means bulky or huge and fits into my purse just fine. I like that there is somewhere to grip and the LCD comes out and flips around to really see what I'm shooting. The zoom is awesome as well. I'm amazed at how far technology has come since my last camera. This is an 8 mega pixel camera with great zoom in a great size for a great price!

My first impression of the A630 was less than stellar. After a year plus squinting through the viewfinder of my Rebel XT, I was really looking forward to composing my shots in a big, beautiful LCD again. Unfortunately, the LCD on the A630 may be big, but it's not beautiful. It does a fine job helping you review what's already been captured and presenting menu options legibly, but a mediocre job of rendering what's coming through the lens. The color is inaccurate and interference frequently appeared on the screen when half-clicking to freeze the focus. It still beats a viewfinder for composing an image but, frankly, I'd rather have the smaller LCD on my daughter's A620.

Ultimately, though, picture quality is everything to me, and here the A630 excels. I took 60+ pictures on a recent trip to Door County, WI and not one of them was a clunker, including several taken in very tricky lighting situations. Shooting modes worked as advertised although, with good lighting, the auto mode produced identical results. Indoors, flash pictures were perfectly exposed and the flash had a surprisingly good range.

On average, and I know this is heresy, the A630 took better pictures than my Rebel XT, and I didn't feel the need to Photoshop a single one of them. If I cared more about the LCD, I would have given this camera a lower rating, but a lower rating would not have done justice to the quality of the images this camera produces.

I upgraded to the Canon PowerShot A630 from a Canon PowerShot 520A Digital Camera recently, and have found that I am able to get better definition with it. I like the way the LCD Monitor works, particularly. The instructions are very clear for using the camera.

This camera is small and relatively lightweight. It takes great pictures even when the cameraman is not really "into" photography. Just point and shoot. Speed between pictures is good and the camera is easy to use. Glad we bought it.

Perfect for departmental use and occaisional travel. Use of 2AA batteries makes it easy to power just about anywhere in the world. Takes good photos, closeups, scenic, and technical shots for emailing to associates or dropping into work instructions. Durable and simple enough to share with point and shoot coworkers. Not as convenient as an SD600, but more affordable and adequate for most pockets. Battery life not noticed as I always carry extra batteries and remember to recharge overnight. This is not a good camera for quick impromptu shots due to slow turn-on cycle and time lag between shots. Would be a great first-camera gift for those just getting started or prone to dropping, losing, etc. Best kept in a small case rather than a purse or pocket, due to size.

The Canon PowerShot A460 Camera is everything that I had hoped for and the price was very good. However, I think that a wait of 19 days for delivery was excessive.

I got this camera for a Christmas present, and let me tell you. I absoluty HATE it. For 5mp it takes horrible pictures inside. I did all kinds of settings but nothing made it better, AND I had great lighting! The guide that comes with this camera is not very helpful at all either, I was very disapointed with this camera. It's flash-back time was the worst though. I'd take a picture and once 10 SECONDS later it came up! This camera is also a battery killer, I get about 15-20 minutes out of use on a fully charged set of batteries! I hated this camera and I sold it. I will not buy a Canon again with this experince. Total Pro's and Cons:

Pro's:

Nice outdoor shots

It's very compact

Cons:

Horrible Flash-Back time

Very confusing guide

Kills batteries in 15 minutes

Indoor pictures are horrible

This wonderful camera is like two cameras in one. You can set it to auto and anyone can use it as a point-and-shoot model capable of some very nice shots. If you happen to like to use manual settings and apply an artistic eye to your shots, it is very good at this as well. I have just started trying to take more artistic shots and this camera is very good for this purpose and has many helpful features. Tons of options, a high resolution, even a widescreen mode, in addition to the "stitch" feature (in which you take a series of photos, such as a panorama, and features on the camera along with the included software lets you stitch the photos together into one big photograph), the affordable price, semi-small size, and large number of add-ons and lenses make this a wonderful purchase!

It is also nice to have a camera that takes regular AA batteries instead of some kind of proprietary rechargable battery. If you ever find yourself with dead batteries and no spares, you can find AA batteries in just about every amusement park, city, or country that you may find yourself in.

Earlier in the year I was given a Canon PowerShot from my employer for work purposes. This was my first experience with a digital camera. Yes, I was still in the dinosaur age of the film camera! Nobody showed me how to use the camera and no instruction booklet came with it. The Canon PowerShots are easy enough to use that you can pick one up and start snapping away. After using a digital camera for almost a year now, I don't want to go back to a film camera. I bought the PowerShot A 540 for personal use and I LOVE it. My parents were so interested in my camera that they purchased one for themselves from Amazon. One negative I have about the camera is that sometimes the screen is a little fuzzy when reviewing what you have just photographed but it's by no means enough of a problem to prevent someone from purchasing the camera. If you want the camera to do all the work for you, all you need do is put it on "Automatic," focus and snap. Oh, the card that comes with the camera is basically useless, plan on getting a card that will hold more pictures. A++ batteries are used in the camera and even come with the camera when purchased. You can't go wrong with this digital camera!

I bought this for my girlfriend who is an amateur. It is small enough to carry in her purse, large enough that it fits well in her hand. The pictures are well exposed and fairly sharp. I was disappointed slightly with the screen view...not as sharp as I would like. It is great for candids, pretty reasonable shutter lag, and overall, a nice camera to just take along.

I bought this camera because it had some good reviews, and the price was right. I've had it just a few weeks, but I'm in love with it. Takes great pictures, simple to load to my PC. You should buy the bigger memory card though, because the one that comes with it only holds about 8 shots. I am still learning, but have gotten some great shots. I don't usually print, but upload to York and get very inexpensive prints in a few days. I like that it takes regular AA bateries. I don't think you can go wrong with this product.

I had the A540, I upgraded to this one. The A540 is a great camera, the A630 is the same - except it is slightly larger and has a swivel screen. The swivel screen comes in handy not only for reaching above to take a shot, but also for taking pictures and video of kids that like to watch themselves. The A630 also takes 4 AA batteries. The video quality is great for a digital camera. On the "standard" setting it is easy to make good movies to put on DVD.

This is my first digital camera, and I'm having a bit of a time learning how to use it. However, I'm pleased with the features such as portraits, evening, and video shots. The photos are beautiful. The memory card that comes with the camera, will take appoximately six photos. However, as a beginner, I know there are going to be a lot of nifty features to behold.

This is the perfect battery to have as a replacement for canon cameras. Lenmar is a generic but a good generic not like the others you find saturated everywhere. The company gave me great service and shipped it in a timely matter. I would say to buy from this retailer without any hesitation.

I've had this camera for about 2 weeks. It's definately the best digital camera I have ever owned.

Pros: Small, compact size, yet not so small that its hard to hold; 4x optical zoom is very effective; takes 2 AA instead of the 4 AA I'm used to - this is a good thing as long as the camera lasts a while on the two batteries; many shooting modes available, and they work well; manual shooting controls available if you need them (though I will probably not use this, the shooting modes are what I use); video mode shoots VGA (640x480 - full DVD quality) as well as a compressed mode which generates file sizes suitable for e-mail.

Cons: the only con I've found so far is the SD card slot is in the same compartment as the batteries, and since the batteries are spring-loaded, it makes it a little annoying to open the battery/SD card door every time you want to get the card out to download images/video to your computer. To solve this, I've just been using the USB cable that came with the camera to download, this way the card can stay in the camera. The only drawback to this is the camera must be turned on in order to access the images/video, but it's a minor problem.

Overall, this camera is excellent. You get a whole lot for the money you pay. I would definately recommend purchasing a 1 GB card; the camera only comes with a 16 MB card, which you will fill up with 20 seconds of VGA video.

This is alot of camera for the money. I purchased mine thru Amazon for $220. I'm generally an "auto" shooter. This camera has more settings/options/features than you can imagine. I guess most cameras today pack all these features. I won't use many of them. I've owned one digital camera prior to this one, an Olympus Stylus 3.2 mp purchased in '03 for $300. Good camera but I've passed it on to my teenage daughter. I've owned other Olympus cameras thru the years and have become familar/comfortable with their icons. Switching camera companies takes some getting used to because most of the icons are different; I'm in that stage now with Canon. Furthermore, I am a manual reader. When I buy a new product, I always read the manual so that I understand the overview of the product and its operation. This manual I found complicated and sometimes hard to understand. Nevertheless...

In the two months that I've owned the A620, I am impressed with the speed of the camera and the quality and beauty of the photos, which, is really the most important thing to me. I'm going to like this camera more with each passing month.

I also like the size.

I like having something a little bigger than compacts. It fits my hands and fingers nicely. It's fairly light however, and that's nice. The swivel LCD is a great feature. So far I'm liking the use of standard double AA's just fine. Still using the initial batteries. I agree with other reviewers regarding the flimsiness of the USB door. Overtime I might expect my rating to move towards five stars; but I'm starting at four stars for now. Pleased.

I owned a Canon G2, 4 megapixel camera for a couple years prior to looking for a replacement. I looked at other brands, but ask any camera aficionado, and they will tell you, "Canon is the best brand." I compared many cameras, and almost bought the PowerShot S70, but am glad I did not for the following reasons:

+ I like the feel of a more professional camera like the A620

+ You don't have to use rechargable batteries!! I didn't realize how inconvenient rechargables are until you have the choice; this camera is one of the few I have seen that takes regular AA batteries! If ever you run low on power, every corner store in the world has AA's! (No more running to the re-charger).

+ Fast processor: The DigicII chip it comes with is amazing! Coming from the G2, it feels almost as fast as a camera worth 5x more! (Extremely fast start-up times too).

+ Awesome picture quality: I can't believe I waited this long to buy an upgrade; most of my G2's pictures were blurry... NOW maybe 1 in 100 pictures are a bit off-focus, but not even that bad. Just great looking, true-color & sharp resolution pictures.

+ Price! For all the features, I was prepared to spend at least twice as much.

+ Lightweight, small (but not too small), and compact + great battery-life. The lens retracts nicely too; so no lens cap needed like the old G2.

Some cons?:

- Wish the grip was rubberized like some more professional cameras, but it's still ergonomic so it's not that bad.

- Flash is good, but not "great." It is fine for 95% of the shots, but on longer dark rooms, the shot still comes out a bit dark. I didn't try tweeking the +/- settings, so it is possible that could be overcome.

- No "Bulb" setting. I liked my "B" setting on my old 35mm camera and kind of miss that feature. The longest shutter time offered on this camera is "15-seconds," which for most will be fine.

I can't think of any other "cons"... This is just a great little camera, and one I expect will last me at least another 2 years. The next camera I plan on buying to compliment this one will be the Canon Digital EOS for real professional situations, like portraits and landcapes that I like to frame... but for everything else, this camera has it all.

I love the camera. Easy to use and small but not too small so that it is hard to press the buttons. Easy to download into my computer and an overall wonderful product.

Just connected A550 camera to my laptop with INCLUDED cable.

1. DigiKam immediatly asked if I wanted to down load pictures - and showed me a thumbnail of each.

2. No DigiKam - type "yum install digikam" and you have it in 20 seconds

If you run windows or mac - you need to install software from the CD - not necessary with linux.

I am running Fedora 5 and 7 and Ubuntu - worked the same for each.

This camera has a ton of features, is easy to use and takes great pictures. The only drawback, and the single reason I returned it, is because it's rather larger for point and shoot. If you're looking for something that'll slip into your shirt pocket, this ain't it.

So far I really like my Canon Camera.........have no complaints so far......I'm not an expert camera user..so probably won't be able to comment on some of the Camera's abilities.......but would recommend camera to most people........

I agree with the previous reviews: it's an average still camera but a really sweet video camera. Its main plus is its small size (about the size of 70-80 stacked playing cards), which is also its primary disadvantage. The buttons are tiny, the viewfinder is tiny, but the camera is tiny and the video looks great. It's too heavy to be a shirt pocket camera but it feels solid except for its plastic battery cover door. For a case, consider a Pelican 1010. The camera and strap just fit in the case which is waterproof and crushproof. I carry it hiking as a video camera and emergency still camera.

Start off with at least two batteries.

A very good camera, super clear pictures, very handy view screen that swivels all around, but a terribly slow lag time between pushing the shutter button and the camera actually taking the picture.

This camera is great! The large flip screen is very useful if photographing near the ground, over head, or for photographing yourself. Ergonomically excellent for a person with larger hands. This camera has lots of features and apparently can take it too. I often shoot over 500 pictures a week with it. Sometimes far more. I take it everywhere. See my photos in the customer images to know why I love this camera!
