Отзывы о Цифровой Фотоаппарат Canon PowerShot SX160 IS

This little camera is great for the price. It is compact and easy to take places. The pictures are high quality and the battery life is great. I'd recommend this camera to anyone who wishes to take pictures at special gatherings or just for day to day events.

Unbelievable product and value. Bought this camera back in October with no expectations that any great things could happen with such a cheap camers. What a mistake! Only after a few months and downloaded the manual and enlarged the print, Then I could easily learn all the tricks to fabulous photos

I purchased the Canon A540 for my daughter, so when I was looking to purchase a camera for myself, knowing how good the Canon was, I decided to purchase the A550. I am very happy with it.

I'm hardly a camera expert but I find this camera suits my needs perfectly. Easy to operate, small and lightweight and takes very nice pictures. My only complaint would be that I have to wait about three seconds between photos when using the flash--longer than I would want. However, everything else is great--picture quality, size, weight and reasonable price! I recommend this camera very highly and use it very frequently for all types of shots, even short videos. Another great purchase from Amazon . . . and all the previous reviews helped me to decide, so thank you to those who posted earlier.

I'll be honest here, I have only had this camera for about two days, but after taking some 60 shots of my kids, and a few movies, I am satisfied with this camera. The features are quite unbelievable for this price.

I do agree a bit regarding the wuality of the batter y cover as noted by another reviewer. IT does feel a little flimsy, but the camera itself is quite nice.

Will update this after this weekend when I get to shoot quite a few pics in varying conditions.

But so far, I am staying with the 5 stars.

I was still using an old 35mm automatic mini-zoom type camera before I got this. It revolutionised how I take pictures! (Especially after I bought a fast 1Gb flash card - recommended.) No more worrying about somebody blinking or looking the wrong way. Just take another shot - or 10. No more waiting months to finish a film and get it developed. Just plug into the nearest computer with USB port. Such is the power of the camera that shots taken in very difficult lighting conditions can still be transformed into something you might be proud of (using the photo editing software supplied on the CDROM). Poorly centred photo? Just cut out the section you are interested in - the resolution will still be fantastic. (In portraits you can pick out individual hairs!) For an amateur great pictures are now so easy!

And then you can always start investigating the manually controllable features and special functions when you get more ambitious...

Only drawback? The camera feels good to hold, but is too bulky to fit inside a breast pocket. So think about where you are going to use it and how you want to carry a camera around.

I bought this camera after comparison with the Canon IXUS 750 - reasons why I chose this one:

- It has a 4x rather than 3x optical zoom. It really is worth getting the more powerful optical zoom, as using the digital zoom (which does work perfectly well, to magnify beyond the limits of the optical zoom) leads to degradation of picture quality. Optical zoom tends not to.

- It has a smaller viewing screen than the IXUS, but the number of pixels is the same (so the definition of the larger screen on the IXUS 750 is actually poorer) and, importantly, the screen on this one swivels - allowing you to take pictures of yourself, to take pictures over the heads of others by holding it up but pointing the screen downwards, and to rotate the screen into shade so that you can see it when standing with bright sunlight behind you.

- The IXUS is a fully-automatic 'tourist' camera - the Powershot also has a fully-automatic setting but, in addition, allows a greater range of manual adjustments, should you feel the need to make them.

The quality of the camera is great.
I would recommend that you also buy a larger memory card. The included 32mb card will allow about 55 images at a decent (1600x1200) resolution (this resolution is actually the 4th-poorest of those the camera offers! - the large setting is phenomenal but perhaps not necessary for most shots). I just bought a 1GB card and it will hold 1750 of the same size pictures!! Useful for a long holiday - more so to contain lots of video clips too.

The camera works just fine, gr8 picture clarity, easy menu options, a big display which makes viewing pics moere better,its got 4x optical zoom which works out just fine, can record videos with decent audio and video clarity.

Problem areas:- The display simply washes out in sunlight,if you are taking pictures in flash mode the time lag between taking pictures can be as long as 4 seconds..which can be irritating at times, it works fine without the flas mode on. You can take upto 10-12 mins of video with 1 gb card, i was expecting a 1 GB card to take a much longe video....

But overall I would give the camera 8/10

This camera is amazing -- great shutter response time, excellant battery life, and tons of features and completley customizable. However, it was so bulky, we often just left it at home, rather that take it with us to parties. The same convenience of being able to use AA's (and not worrying about charging the camera, or having it die halfway through your trip) also results in a substantial bulk. Also, the camera does not accomodate one-handed operation. If portability is not a concern -- go for it. It is infinitely tweakable -- with a full manual mode and lots of creative options. But if you are looking for a point and shoot you can drop in your purse, or even your pocket, go for the SD630.

I have been using this camera quite a bit and am completely happy. It has both point and shoot, and slr features. You can take quick shots or get started with amiture photography. The software was easy to use, easy to set up, and it works well on my Mac. It has the quality the you would expect with the canon name.

This camera is excellent. As a first time digital camera owner I find this easy to use, although I have not taken the time to utilize all of the features. The LCD display is 3" and can be viewed from a number of positions as it flips out and rotates, depending on your preferences. It also closes in for storage which keeps the screen clean when not in use. The quality of the shots have been very good and the viewing of the shots taken can be zoomed in. Portability is just fine for me. I am afraid that I might lose something that is much smaller. Both my children have Canon Powershot cameras and seem to be happy with them as well.

I am not electrically inclined however, this light weight easy to use great picture taking camera was well worth the purchase. I have recommmended it to friends and family members considering purchasing a digital camera.

I ordered a Nikon Coolpix L6 (6MP Digital Camera with 3x Optical Zoom) and then ran into a friend at a party. He had one and I gave it a try. SLOW and fair pics. I went home, jumped online and changed the order to the Canon PowerShot A550. This camera is slightly larger, but is quick, good zoom, easy enough on the batteries and takes wonderful pics. Make usre you buy additional SD cards 'cause you'll love using this camera.

Looking for an entry level digital camera? Steve's Digicam has a comprehensive review of this camera and calls it one of the best entry level digital cameras. [..]You can't beat Canon for great products and excellent value.

I bent the lens on my wonderful Nikon Coolpix and was unhappy to find that it was no longer made. Repair was to be $175. For the same amount of $$ I purchased the Canon. What advances in 2 years! A big viewing screen that occupies 3/4 of the camera back. Very simple operation with options for high tech changes. The camera is quite narrow and fits easily into a shirt pocket. Most amazing is the ability to take movie "shorts" with sound! Picture quality is excellent. Hard to imagine a better camera at this price - or $100 higher.

Has anyone else had this problem?.....I have an A620 and just got the A630. When taking movies with the new A630, there are a lot more rolling lines and "screen" effect than is with the A620, especially in the edges of objects.

This is in the 640 x 480 mode at 30 fps. (most popular shooting mode)

The movie quality should be at least as good in the A630 as it was in the A620, rather than objects looking like they are moving around and "rolling" the peppermint twist. Otherwise, I would have given this camera 5 stars. This is a lot less of a problem in my A620.

I previously had a Cannon A85 which I was very pleased with but the A630 takes photography to a new level.Easy to operate....a lot of bang for your buck!

A very good digital camera. I have been using it for a week now.
I used to have a Canon G3 before it was stolen. This time I wanted a smaller camera with similar capabilities so I took the plunge with this one.
The autofocus is accurate and fast. You get x4 zoom lens and a flash which charges quickly. You get enough settings to satisfy the serious/learned photographer. For the layman photographer you have preset settings for specific situations (night time, beach scene, underwater... please buy and use the underwater protective case accessory for this setting!) or you can set to auto and shoot. Red eye reduction works everytime for me, very good.
There is also a video mode which I have not gone into much depth but it does record video up to the capacity of the memory card.
Unfortunatly the camera body is made of plastic, not metal like similarly priced rival cameras. Just lacks that extra strength and quality feel like others I have held. The battery flap underneath the camera feels a little flimsy, I am wary when I open it to remove the batteries.
But the most important thing is the quality of the photos! They are excellent. Set the camera to highest quality to allow you to crop the final image as you wish (no need to use the digital zoom really, just crop on your PC).
Canon do not supply you with a power adapter, you do not get a memory card which is adequate (only 32MB, some kind of joke!?!) and you get 4 alkaline AA batteries, which is not enough capacity to power this camera seriously. So, you should get 4 NiMH rechargeables and at least 512MB SD memory card (I got 1GB). So now you can see the realistic cost of this camera goes up! I have not bothered with the AC adapter, images download quickly to the PC or you can use a SD memory card reader meaning the camera need not be powered on while you download.
So, it gets 4 stars due to lack of higher quality materials and accesories. £35 for an AC adapter, pull the other one Canon!

I would not recommend it for your aging parents or in-laws, unless they happen to be professional photographers The Powershot S80's advanced features are more likely to appeal to folks with more photographic experience.

Cons:

1. Slightly larger than the Canon Elph series, although it still fits in my pocket.

2. Shutter can stay open only 15 seconds maximum (I would of liked at least 30 seconds for nighttime exporsures).

3. The provided 32Mb SD memory card is only big enough for about 9 images at full resolution, so you'll want to add a 1 Gig SD memory.

4. You can buy one for less than four hundred dollars (check out some NYC camera stores).

5. The camera does not come with a leather camera case. However, you can purchase the Canon S80 kit to get an extra Li-ion battery, a nice leather camera case, and neckstrap for about US$60.

Pros:

1. Controls are very intuitive.

2. Large LCD makes reading the menus easier, even without my reading glasses.

3. Advanced user manual is straightforward.

4. The ease of reading the large (2.5 inch) LCD makes learning dozens of powerful features much easier than the labryinthinan Fuji FinePix point control system.

5. Downloads via the Canon suite of Ulead Zoombrowser tools is much easier than the earlier versions of Zoombrowser I had used with my other Canon Photoshot digital cameras

6. Althogh I have not purchased a water-tight case for underwater photography yet, Canon makes one and it is reasonably priced (about US$150).

7. The movie mode (640 x 480, 30 frames per second) is handy, especially with a Gig of memory to store long movie clips.

8. The software includes Photostitch 3.1, one of the better tools for creating panoramas.

Before purchased the Cannon A530, I compared it with several other 5MP cameras.(Kodak, Sony, Nikon, Polaroid, HP, Vivitar). I chose the A530 for several reasons: 1- The number of shooting modes (over 17), 2- It uses two inexpensive AA batteries rather that more expensive Lithium, or other specialty batteries, 3- The new ISO 800 setting which reduces camera shake, 4- The White Balance Control (Auto, preset for Cloudy, Tungsten, & Flourescent, and the 4X Optical zoom lens, and 5- The Post Card Size and the Date Imprint.

I takes excellent clear pictures. The color is very true. The exposure is right on. I have tried editing a few photos, and cannot make them any better by editing brightness, contrast,saturation,and color.

Although it has an optical viewfinder, the LCD is bright and clear even in sunlight for composing a shot.

It is on the verge of being too bulky, but Cannon has other smaller models with similar features (at a higher price). I am very happy with this camera and haven't wished I had chosen a different camera.

Excellent camera, big improvement on my "trust" camera. Bit heavy but nice to hold and take photos with. Do not recommend normal free delivery, takes too long. instructions and operation of camera is not basic but not difficult even for a beginner. Swivel LCD a big plus.

For the past 20 years I've used Canon SLR's (F-1's) and many of their "L Series" lenses. No complaints, only pleasure.

Not too long ago I purchased a Kodak high end digital camera. It was just OK. I used it mostly on emergency response calls for it was smaller than an SLR and a might more rugged.

Now I chucked the Kodak, I trimmed my Canon collection down to 1 SLR and 2 lenses, and purchased the S80. I'm running a 120X 2 Gig and a 150X 1 gig SD card.

The pros:

The display took my breath away. Large, bright, and clear. The physical size is perfect. It may be just me but I enjoy the programmable sounds. The controls are pretty easy to use (gotta read that manual). Battery life is great. And finally, the image quality is beyond words. Also there are so many built-in ways to manipulate the image. The added bonus of shooting practical video at various resolutions is great (need that large SD card though). Sure, it's not an SLR with many available lenses. And it is 'point & shoot'. But now I'm using it almost exclusively versus my SLR.

The cons:

Wish the package came with more than it did. A neckstrap should have been included. The wrist strap just invites damage and disaster. One very flimsy part is the 'A/V out' door. I just cannot see it remaining attached to the camera beyond a couple of months. The documentation is daunting. The simplified manual is 26 pages. The 'advanced' manual runs 160 pages. I became pretty frustrated with the adavnced manual and its tiny size.

All in all you really get what you pay for. I don't regret it at all. Save your money and bite the bullet and buy this camera. It goes so far beyond many preconceptions of digital point & shoot cameras.

I bought the camera to use on a trip to Lake Tahoe, NV. The scenery was beautiful and the camera was so easy to operate that I got lots of wonderful pictures. I would recommend this camera to anyone who wants to take great pictures without a lot of problems. It is small and easy to handle.

I OWNED A CANON POWERSHOT A40 AND WAS SO IMPRESSED WITH IT I DECIDED TO BUY A NEWER MODEL CANON A540=WHAT A GREAT CAMERA.I HAVE FOUND NO FAULTS WITH IT AT ALL.I HAVE TRAVELED ALL OVER AND HAVE TAKEN HUNDREDS OF PICTURES WHICH ALL TURNED OUT EXCELLENT.I HIGHLY RECOMEND THIS PRODUCT TO EVERYBODY.I DID BUY A 1 GIG MEMORY CARD WHICH ALLOWES ME TO TAKE AT LEAST 100 OR MORE PICTURES.I USE ENERGIZER 2500 MAH RECHARGEABLE BATTERIES WITH EXCELLENT RESULTS.BUY 4 RECHARGEABLE BATTERIES [2 TO USE & 2 FOR SPARES]WITH A 1 GIG MEMORY CARD AND YOU HAVE A EXCELLENT CAMERA THAT CANT BE BEAT FOR THE MONEY,OR QUALITY.=bill
