Отзывы о Цифровой Фотоаппарат Canon PowerShot SX160 IS

A great price for an original Canon case (especially if purchased with supersaver delivery). It fits my A710 IS, a spare SD card but a bit of a squeeze to fit 2 AA batteries in the front pouch; hence 4 stars. Otherwise a well made compact case.

This camera is everything that I wanted. I am actually a film lover, so digital cameras tend to disappoint me with the quality of there pictures. Usually, you need a REALLY expensive SLR digital camera to take good pics. However, this camera takes great pictures and was not nearly as pricey. The reason I wanted this particular camera is because I previously had the Canon A300. It was an ok camera, but at 3.2 megapixels, the pictures came out bad. However, it was very easy to use. Also, I wanted a camera where I could adjust things manually like I do with my film camera, with the option of auto. The S80 was the answer to my prayers. It is very easy to use, takes great pictures, and is still small enough to carry everywhere, including underwater. I took this camera on its first underwater adventure in Cabo and was surprised by how well it does underwater. It even has a special mode for underwater that adjusts the color balance so your pics don't come out all blue. I could go on forever about all the great things I can do with this camera!!! However, as with any camera, there are drawbacks. The biggest one for me is this spinning wheel that allows you to quickly scroll through pics. I always bump it and scroll too far on accident. Overall, I give it an A+!!!

To J.Griffin whose review is below:

'Snobby purists insist on RAW.'

No, people who understand bit depth and post-processing insist on RAW. If you insist on calling people who are educated and skillful snobby then that's your (sad) business.

'RAW takes hours of work for marginal improvements.'

It does not. It takes seconds or at worst minutes.

'JPEG is better for almost all applications.'

JPG is 'adequate' for almost all applications but it is certainly not better (unless by better you mean more convenient). RAw images are 16 bit and JPGs only 12 bit so again, learn!

Now to my review: the S80 takes marvellous still images. I've used an S70 for over a year (mostly in RAW mode Mr Griffin) including a trip to Japan and it's generally (although not consistently) the equal of my Canon 20D DSLR. The S80 is better than the S70 because of the slightly higher resolution, the digic II processing (faster response) and very importantly the video mode. The S70 has a poor video mode (640 x 480 @ 10fps and only 30 second files) but the S80 blows it away with 640 x 480 @ 30fps or 1024 x 768 @ 15fps! Both the modes are constant up to 1GB or card fill. Now think about this: put a couple of strips of masking tape over the top and bottom of the lcd monitor to give a 16:9 aspect, shoot in the XGA mode and then use Premiere (or whatever) to crop the 4:3 output of the S80 into 16:9. What we have here people is a pocket widescreen camcorder at near broadcast quality(ish... & mono sound... but that's picky).

Unreservedly recommended.

After a week the cammera did not work. The shop has a return police, but they did not send a RA number needed to return the item. They asked me an adress in the USA, and whwn I sent it they did nor answered. In my country, Argentina, the local distributor said the garantee is not valid for them.

I purchased this camera as a gift after extensive research. The recipient ended up buying themselves the same camera before I could give it to them. Lucky me. This has been a great little camera. It is great for a beginner and for those that want a camera that is portable.

I first opened the box, took one look and thought I'm going to have to send this back! It's bulkier than I thought it would be and feels a little plasticy. I hated it straight away.

Started to take some pictures (which is what it's meant to do) and I am absolutely blown away by the quality and ease of use of this camera. I'm a bit of a novice with a camera so having just the basics is great...but then you can also make everything completely manual.

In manual mode I could get a crystal clear picture of something that was 1cm away from the lense!!!!

Awesome camera....buy it if you can put up with it being a little bulky and feel a little toy-like!!!!!

From reading the other reviews, I seem to be one of the few to have mechanical issues with my A530. Within a month after buying it, the lens cover began remaining half closed when the power is turned on. I have to manually flick open the shutter/cover. Then, the flash began intermittently malfunctioning and now the zoom function will only work in one direction (that is, it works to "zoom in" on something, to zoom back out I have to turn the camera off and back on. To my knowledge, the camera has not been dropped or otherwise physically abused to cause these problems.

I'm disappointed because I do like the photos that the camera takes when it does function properly.

Fortunately, I bought it at Costco, so it's going back.

I love this camera. It is SUPER EASY to use and takes fantastic pictures. The megapixels are such that you can even blow things up and still have a good quality picture.

I would highly recommend this camera. I have had zero problems and love Canon products.

OK, I've spent years using a nice film camera -- solid body, good, interchangeable lenses, etc. -- so maybe I'm biased, but this camera just doesn't do it for me.

For starters, the thing had to go straight from the box to the canon repair center (on my dime natch, as my wife purchased the camera several months before as a birthday present so there was no option to return it to the store once my birthday rolled around, and canon did not offer to pick up the shipping): the image was blurry and overexposed.

Now that I have it back from the shop, here's my beefs: a) the viewfinder is atrocious -- only the center of the image in the viewfinder is in focus, with the rest being a blurry mess. b) Pictures are still a little blurry, even at maximum resolution. c) The supplied software doesn't have much to recommend; just a very basic image downloading/viewing program along with a program to stitch images together.

I got this camera for Christmas, but returned it because the SD600 is smaller and has one improvement over this one... the videos.

The issue is this camera makes an annoying clicking noise during videos, and it shows up on the files when you watch them on your computer. The reason for this is the microphone inside picks up the sounds of the camera's internal pieces clicking and whirring. The SD600 does NOT have this issue with videos.

Buy the SD600 instead!

This is an amazing camera for the average amateur photographer. Nice picture and video quality. Compact enough to fit in your jeans pocket (if you wear them baggy), but not too small that it will be easily misplaced. I am not a big fan of the memory card placement (in the compartment where the battery goes), but the pictures look quite nice, and the zoom covers my basic needs.

This camera is a very nice item for snapshots as well as some more sophisticatied photography. Reasonable price. Good 4x optical zoom, which is better than most. Large and fairly bright screen for composing and reviewing photos. What I really like, with my aging eyes is, when you change modes, the way it briefly displays a large icon on the screen identifying the new setting. The icon then fades to its smaller size and peripheral location. Older Canons didn't do this.

I've owned this camera for a couple of months and have had the A510 (very similar) as a work camera for 18 months. I have been very pleased and feel that the money was well spent.

I was a little surprised that this camera still comes with the 16 MG card - definitely upgrade to the 512 or 1 GB card. I use the video function infrequently and if this is an important feature for you there are probably better cameras out there. But if you need great pictures in almost every possible light setting, this camera will be excellent.

I read a couple of reviews that slammed the indoor light conditions - not true. There are a lot of settings, as one reviewer noted, and a few minutes working with the instructions will have you taking great shots in any light. Anyway, if you upgrade to the 1 GB card, you can take lots of practice shots.

In need of a replacement camera all the reviews both consumer and commercial raved over this camera. Relative to my prior camera this camera (with a higher pixel rating) excels. Ease of use, quality of pics and an affordable price make this a definite winner. I totally recommend this unit to anyone wishing to have a dependable and versatile digital camera in their arsenal. :-)

Seemed like a very fine camera until we discovered the UGLY truth. A Google search reveals Canon is/was the subject of a class action suit for this very problem.

Any interference with the action of the zoom lens renders the camera inoperable. It must be returned to Canon for repairs. To their credit, they did repair our camera no charge in about 2-3 weeks. If I had known this product was a fragile as an empty eggshell, I would have never purchased it. Caveat emptor, or "we reserve the right to take advantage of the weak, the stupid, and the ignorant. If you want trust...buy a dog"

I haven't learned al the features on this camera and doubt that I will ever use them, but it is a great camera. The resolution is great. The multiple-position LCD screen is handy in some situations. The speed is tops. Battery life appears very good. I got about 150 shots plus playback and time spent on various camera adjustments on a set of batteries the first time around. Maybe the camera gets even more shots on a set once I learn more about using it. I like the feel of the camera. It is a bit heavier than other similar items, but I like the substantial feel. I keep it in a Canon case on my belt, and just have to make sure it doesn't drop off the belt in the toilet.

I love everything I have so far figured out with my camera. I haven't spent the time to really look into or use any special features. But I can tell you having the flip out screen is really nice. I can have my camera up high but still see what's in my lense by simply tilting the screen down. Also it helps because I can turn it inward therefore further protecting it from scratches or the hands of my little children. I would recommend this camera to anyone, especially those that take the time to read all the info about special features. (cause I know it has lots of them)

I was looking for a camera with more features and capabilities than my Fuji FinePix Z1. Though my Z1 is small, easy to use, and takes great pictures, it does not do well in certain lighting conditions. After some dreadful shots at a wedding last week I went on the prowl for a better camera. From the second I started shooting with the Canon PowerShot a540 I was in love! One of my favorite features of this camera is the ability to quickly change between Auto, Programmed, and the various Image Zone special scene modes... and I can have separate size and quality settings for each one! (though the 10 or so special scene modes share a common size/quality setting.) The custom timer with options for delay and number of shots is another nice touch. I'm not throwing away my Z1, but it may get some dust on it...

I've been using this camera for a couple months and am very happy with it. The big flip screen is a great asset - and my pictures are excellent quality, although I haven't yet read the manual. No doubt they'll be spectacular once I do that. Previously I had a sophisticated "professional" Olympus digital with too many options for me, so I gave it to our son, who has more patience and understanding. This one may have the same options, but somehow it isn't as daunting.

Back around five years ago I bought a canon A 20 2.1 mega pixel camera (for about $200 more then this A 620) and it is a good camera, but really only good for good 6 by 4's. So I have been waiting to upgrade to a better camera, with at least 5.0 mega pixels and when I saw this one on amazon a 7.1 mega pixel camera for the price of a 3.0 mega pixel and saw all the good reviews I had to get it. And I am very pleased. This camera is a nice small size, not to small, it has a good feel to it. It has tons of point and shoot features along with some features an expensive SLR would have. You can just shoot on AUTO or you can go all the way to manual. The pictures I have taken so far have been very very sharp, and the features pretty easy to use. I love the color boosting features for high saturation (reminds me of shoot agfa ultra 50 print film (which does not exist anymore) and the macro is fantastic. I will stop there with the features you can explore those yourselves. Let me finish by saying I am very pleased with this Canon A 620 and I would highly recommend this camera and get yourselves 1-2 1 GIG SD cards to go with it. The card that comes with the camera is too small to do much.

R. Laracuente, You just took the words off my lips!!! I also previously owned the SONY DSC-P73 as my first digital camera.

Because my previous camera was such a GOOD one, I found myself to be somewhat picky before purchasing the next one. Reason I started researching was because my old one started malfunctioning w/in 1-1/2 years of usage.

Things I looked for were: GOOD quality images, Video with Sound, uses SD (instead of Sony's annoying Memory sticks), Cheap, and Easy to Use.

Since I never used a Canon before, I was worried about the Image quality and ease of use. But with so many good reviews, I had to try it out. This camera just stood out from the REST of the cameras because of it's A+ rating on every site and having the LEAST negative reviews.

I admit, I am happy with my purchase. Never knew I could take pictures this GOOD!

Negative Side: A/V door is extremely flimsy which worries me to an extent. Still sturdy, just flimsy. Also, the Lens cover on my camera seems a little uneven (Doesn't seem to close as properly as my sony digital). Not sure if it's with all cameras or just mines. Seems to work fine though.

This was a gift for my brother this xmas. What a great camera - there is virtually nothing you can't do with it. Really easy to use with great menu's and a HUGE viewing screen. Downsides - it chews through batteries, even the ones meant for digital camera's. I would highly recomend getting rechargeables with it. There is no image stabalization technology with this camera. Which is probably why it is a less expensive than others.

I own two other Canon Digital camera's (3.2mp elph and 8mp DSLR rebel)and have never regreted buying canon.

I had A80 which is suppose to best of the bread, but this A530 -

- is much more light weight (works with 2 batteries).

- Controls are easy to operate

- Screen colors are not that realistic (but photos would come with real colors)

- Photo quality is good (comparable to A80)

- Even though it is entry level digital camera, I guess it is sufficient for some one like me who takes lot of photos and expect them to come nice without having any photography skills

- Surprisingly its video came out better than A80 in low light

This is a great little camera. I really like the large LCD view. It's compact but packs a lot of nice features. I'm a camera nut from the "old days" and like the fact that I can select my shutter speed and/or aperature. Be prepared to carry spare AA batteries. It's more convenient than having to plug into a battery charger, but it does use batteries pretty quickly.
