Отзывы о Цифровой Фотоаппарат Canon PowerShot SX160 IS

Yes, I bought this for my mom. She wanted a digital camera for her birthday. Point and shoot - she's going to love it!

It may be the state of the art, and it's got all the most modern techno features, but it's still slow and blurry in low-light situations - just like all digital cameras. I read the reviews here on amazon, and I really started to believe all the hype. Unfortunately I found out for myself it's not much better than my old Sony DSC - it just has more features. Some of the features are useful, like being able to keep the shutter open quite a bit longer. And then there's that stitch thing, and the color swap - just in case I might want to edit photos in camera, instead of with photoshop on my pc. Most of it's pretty silly stuff, to be frank. However, I satisfied my own curiousity about the state of the art for 200 bucks - not too bad - and found it lacking.

UPDATE 2008: The camera has become unreliable. When I set the flash to always fire, it doesn't. The macro is still amazing though.

UPDATE 2011: The camera became more and more unreliable through 2009, and eventually died sometime in 2010. That's 2 years reliable service, and completely dead after 4 years. I expect more from a camera, and having read other reviews I believe it is unique to Canon. My next compact camera will not be a Canon. Maybe Nikon Coolpix...

I like the features of the camera. However, a few weeks after purchase the lens cover began to stick when opened. I discussed, via email, with Canon and it is now on its way to Canon's service center for examination and repair. I have had a few similar experiences with products purchased through Amazon and am beginning to wonder if your suppliers, particularly those who drop ship, supply Amazon customers with items from batches that may have marginal quality control records.

In addition the documentation about the camera is not clear. If the camera comes back from Canon fairly quickly, and performs well when it arrives, I will consider it a good purchase and recommend it to others.

I bought this camera mainly because of its fair reviews on the internet. Customer ratings were around 4 stars, so i thought it was very smart to buy this camera and become my first digital one.

What i found?

- The pictures are slightly darker than its competitors with the same specification.

- Usually marks you are shaken to take the picture

- In other ocassion you are not notify about the shaken status and even though the photos are blurred.

- Size is ok

- You have to wait about 6 or 7 seconds to take your next picture (too much time!)

- The outside photos are the better ones, but the one taken inside are too dark for my expectations.

I definetly think you may invest 40 or 50 extra bucks and get something better. As i will do right now.

Canon's Powershot A620 has been an excellent camera, I've using it over the last 2+ months. It was brought as a replacement to my Canon A95, which I gave as a gift to a someone - another good camera. What best stands out to me is that, it is easy to use and has the functions that you can get creative with. The 2 feature that interested me intially are the flexible view finder and using AA batteries. I can use "AA" batteries and not be dependent on any custom made batteries and on trip away from home I can either standard rechargeable AA or buy a set in case of emergencies. The flexibile view finders is great when you want to get creative. Say you're at Trevi Fountain in Rome, and you don't have much room to move back and get a wide shot, well just bring the camera close to the ground and viewfinder turned up - shoot. Pictures have always come out right - so I can't complain there. Nice, solid machine.

Good image definition, reasonable 4x optical zoom, filming capability, flexible power source, established brand.

This is a camera for amateur photographers that nonetheless offers interesting shooting possibilities. You can use regular batteries in it or buy the rechargeable battery pack for a few more bucks. My advice is that you should buy the battery pack and take regular batteries with you when traveling to far, isolated places where electricity is not available. And for those like me who do not like to use digital zooming, the 8-megapixel definition allows you to extend the power of the 4x optical zoom as it offers great picture cropping possibilities without lessening the quality of 5x7 inch prints.

The canon A620 is a fine digital camera that offers more than your typical point and shoot variety. I've own several pocket size digitals: Sony DSCP10, DSCT7, Exilim EXZ50, Z60; these are all nice cameras but can't compare to the manual settings, and indoor shots of this Canon.

I originally wanted a digital SLR, but didn't want to spend that kind of money, yet....

Likes:
-Very good battery life (366 shots and counting) for a "AA" camera. I still picked up some rechargeables 2500 mAh.
-Camera pictures very sharp; 7.1 MP means lots of options to crop, zoom in, and poster size prints.
-Good indoor shots - accurate colors; little noise if camera is set to the right "indoor" setting, unlike those other "pocket" cameras.

Needs Improvements:
-camera has a more "plastic" feel than my other pocket cameras.
-digital screen is small by today's standards.

Summary: Not exactly a full size digital SLR (Nikon D50 or Rebel, come to mind), but don't let the looks, and feel fool you; take the time using this camera, testing it's functions and you'll discover what a true gem it really is!

Bought this camera for my wife for Valentines day since she was intimidated by my Canon Pro1 and wanted a more user friendly digital. It took a few minutes for her to start using it and its amazing how it has many of the features of my $1,000.00 camera. The pictures came out beautifully. I like the fact that it has a built-in lens cap, ability to zoom while in movie mode and the automatic features for shooting under various conditions e.g. snow, beach, fireworks etc...You cannot go wrong with this camera!

Our company purchase these cameras. A great all around camera. easy to use, fast start up, exposure accurate and sharp, the moive mode is great. The camera is big enough to hold but small enough to fit in a pocket. The "AA" battery power source is a great feature and the price point it's hard to beat.

This is a very good camera and it even records video and has sound. The pictures are clear and sharp and looks very professional. You can even zoom in and out for optimal results. Very impressive!

I have purchased several cameras in the last 4 years. This Canon is a great little camera. It has a swivel LCD view screen which is great for protecting the screen when not in use. The pictures are very good quality.

I lost the first A620 that I purchased last year. I immediately ordered a new one to replace it. Owner of several hi-guality digital cameras, but this one is the best so far. Found picture quality with cameras that zoom more than this one to be lacking. Beware of large zooms. Would have ordered newer model with auto image stabilization, but they don't have adjustable screen... which is feature that you find yourself not being able to do without.

Great picture quality and speed is super fast. Adjustable view screen makes it unbeatable for setting camera down, framing your picture and using timer to take pictures. I set it up to take 3 pictures in rapid succession with the timer...eliminates a bad photo with someone blinking or bad expression. Screen rotates to let you see what is in frame when you hold it up high to take pictures over peoples heads. Screen also folds in to protect itself while in your pocket.

Great price with Amazon.com and fast shipping as always. AA rechargables is another great feature. Don't have to fool with special chargers or batteries. A little larger than some cameras but will still fit in purse or pocket nicely. Flash is better than with other smaller cameras. Put in a 1 GB memory card and you can take many many pictures on your longest vacations. You will love this camera!

It has been fine experience. The problem is that the mremory card is in the battery compartment. So if you would like the card out you should bother with openig the battery port too.

My camera is the A620, but the A610, except for lower pixel CCD, is the same. The first priority for a snapshot camera is SPEED. This one has it in spades. Very fast shot-to-shot and negligible shutter lag. The first priority for a hobbyist camera is manual control. The A6x0 has Auto, program and many preset scene modes. It also has shutter priority, aperture priority and full manual mode. Computer imaging enthusiasts will be disappointed that the A6x0 cameras do not provide RAW picture format, but it does produce excellent detail in Fine JPEG mode, and I think many in even that group would be satisfied. The lens is excellent for such a small camera. It is fast at f4.1 on the telephoto end of the zoom, very important for family photographs outdoors (fewer blurred photos of children or pets at play). Really good ISO400 results for even more speed. Color and white balance is excellent, right out of the camera. Photos are vivid and life-like. The flash is small, so if you use that a great deal I recommend something like the Sony slave flash which attaches to the tripod fitting on the camera. The zoom works fast. The controls are well laid out, and the camera is easy to handle (my hands are fairly long, I'm 6-2). The menus are easy to use and quick to find. I have not needed to open the manuals, so I can't comment on those. The LCD is bright, and preview mode is fast (the swiveling LCD is fantastic). The optical viewfinder is adequate and bright enough (about 80% coverage, I think). The camera fits in my shirt pocket, but with quite a bulge. Buy a larger SD card because the 32mb card with the camera only holds 9 photos at best quality. AA batteries are convenient. Get a good set of rechargeable batteries with a set of cheap alkaline for backup, and you are ready to go (good battery life here). I have not used movie mode and I might never do so, though I hear it is very good; there is a printer output that I do not use; the camera comes with software that I do not use, so I cannot comment on those three things.

The door for cable connections is flimsy. I opened it once and had trouble closing it. Had to force the top clip to engage. Buy a card reader ($10 or $20) and forget about the cables. Overall, great camera and great photos.

I bought this camera A630 to upgrade from my old A95 camera. Sport shooting mode is not availble with the new A630 camera unlike the A95. I'm so disappointed with the indoor shots so grainny and poor in details and clarity. New camera suppose to be better than the older ones but unfortunately this is not the case. If you plan to take a lot of indoor shots then you should not buy this camera A630.

I love this camera. It is compact, fits nicely in your hand, with a comfortable grip. I carried it all around Italy, with just the strap around my wrist and it hanging loosely in my hand. The swivel monitor is great for getting hard to reach shots, like over peoples heads, or around a corner or over a balcony. You can always see what you're pointing at in the monitor, even if you can't see it with your eyes!

The photos are crisp, clear, and with accurate color.

The only glitch I found was a user error which caused me to delete my pictures twice. I thought that "format" meant to change the size of the picture resolution, and when I hit "ok" it totally wiped out the pics. I think it should have a "are you SURE you want to erase the contents on your camera?" message to prevent this from happening.

It's really handy stuff to carry with you in your hand bag or when you go to the party or any other event.

I like it. However I'm lazy in learning all the functions it has it was easy for me to take pictures and transfer them to CPU etc. The quality of pictures is great especially when they are made outdoor.

The only my problem was that I didn't order the charger and memory card with camera together. I had to buy it separately. Also there was no case for camera and it's difficult now to find suitable case. I like camera to be protected.

I like my camera and if you need nice small camera to carry with you everywhere this one is for you.

I wanted a camera that the whole family could use - Including my 10 year old son. This camera has proven to be that and much more! What impresses me the most is the astounding battery life and the quick focus features. It is at an excellent price point as well. Our pictures no longer suffer from the dreaded 'redeye' effects. I upgraded from a 4 year old Olympus

4 megapixel camera and am blown away by the improvements over that period.

Canon rocks!

This was my first digital camera so I am not an expert, but to me it seems excellent quality and I would really recommend it. It's quite easy to use and the image quality is superb. It's easy to take great shots and one particularly useful feature is the inbuilt colour filters - great if you want to emphasise bright colours and you can get some interesting effects. Also useful is the photo stitch feature which means you can take lovely, wide panoramic shots. The video capture seems good to me. I would buy it with a fast memory card - I have a 1 gig one of these and it works quickly in terms of flicking between photos and erasing images etc. The screen is very good compared to others I've seen and the close-up feature is excellent - is super-sharp even when you're just 1 cm away from object.

Lastly, the battery life is excellent - one set of standard Energiser AA batteries did me for a two week holiday - and that was with a fair bit of looking through previously taken pictures. Rechargable NiMH batteries work well too.

I can't really think of any downsides ....

I love my Canon Powershot A620. I brought this camera in July 2006 and was glad I decided on this one. I had a Canon film camera which I was using a my mother's birthday party when my granddaughter decided to open and expose all the pictures. I lost all of the pictures and decided I would purchase a digital camera. I researched Canon cameras for about 2 months and decided on this one. This is my first digital camera and I decided on this one because of the features. I like the color and weight of the camera, it's easy to hold not too heavy. I can put it in a small camera bag and carry it around. The LCD is nice, it allows you to see what you are taking a picture of before you take it. You can take pictures from different angles.It also uses AA batteries which is great.

I will never lose any pictures with this camera. I like the way the photos look when you print them. Looks like they came from a photo shop.

I had been extremely reluctant to forgo my beloved 35mm cameras and go digital. I own a Canon 7E SLR and an Olympus 28mm-80mm point-and-shoot. When I finally decided to go digital, I planned to replace both 35mm cameras, starting with the Olympus point-and-shoot. After much research, I decided to go with the Canon S80.

I have just returned from a 3 week trip to India. The S80 blew me away! I am so impressed with the camera's features that I have decided not to buy the Canon 20D digital SLR! For starters, the S80 packs a mind boggling amount of features. Just like Canon's SLRs, the S80 goes from fully automatic to fully manual. I have never before owned a point-and-shoot that allowed me to fully control the shutter speed and aperture. Sure, the S80 does have limitations vis-à-vis Canon's $1,000+ digital SLRs (for example, the shutter will only stay open for 15 seconds max). However, for the serious amateur (or a photo novice who seeks to improve his/her photo taking skills), I think this camera is perfect. It is surprisingly easy to use with intuitive features, especially if you are used to Canon's mode settings. I was pleasantly surprised with its flash. I can increase and decrease the megapixels of my pictures with the push of a button. The S80 is a bit thicker, and heavier than other 8 megapixel cameras. But the slightly increased size and weight is well worth the added features packed into the S80. I bought a CaseLogic pouch and carried the camera around my belt for three weeks, no problem at all. Finally, the zoom is "noisy." But seriously, who cares.

Oh, one more thing...be sure to buy a 1 gigabyte SD card that has at least 133X speed. The 32MB card that comes with the S80 is woefully inadequate considering that (a) you can only fit about 8 pictures at the 8 megapixel setting and (b) the card is extremely slow as compared to 133X speed cards.

This is probably the best bang for the buck camera out there today.

Pros:

Fantastic image quality

Features offer lots of user control

Tight macro mode

8 Mega Pixels offers lots of post processing options

4X optical zoom

Great battery life

Uses AA batteries (4)

Sturdy lightweight construction

Swivel LCD is shweet

Price/performance ratio

Cons:

Poor low light performance (need tripod or flash)

ISO 400 and 800 have too much noise to be usable

6X optical zoom would be nice

JPEG compression No RAW

No battery meter

Very easy to use, great pictures, fun. I think the price was unbelievable for the quality. Would definitely recommend for anyone considering a digital camera for the first time.

After considerable research, I chose to replace my Olympus D-520 with the Canon A 630. The primary reason was to be able to take pictures of coins for E-Bay sale, and this camera fit the bill to the T. True, it took some experimenting to figure out the right settings to do this, but once I had it figured out, the pictures were precise and detailed, and just what I was looking for. This camera has so many settings and possibilities that I am now looking for opportunities to utilize it to its fullest potential. If you are just looking for a point and shoot, just set it and forget it, and shoot away. If you are a pro, this should answer all your needs. I am a happy camper.......
