Отзывы о Цифровой Фотоаппарат Canon PowerShot SX160 IS

I am pleased with my purchase. Canon makes a good product. It is has a good size and weight - not too light or too small. The 'slow' in my title comes from the fact that at times, it can take a little while for the camera to refresh and be ready to take another picture. When you press the shutter, it is pretty quick which is nice. The only time it is a little slow is when you have taken a picture and then want to take another one rapidly - this takes a little while sometimes. Other than that it is a good camera. I also like the software that is included.

I bought this camera after seeing the rave reviews for it on Amazon. I figured a Canon camera, with 7.1MP and 4x optical zoom under $250- how could I go wrong.

When the camera came I was disappointed with the small size of the screen- only 2" versus most of the competitors that are 2.5" and yes it does make a big difference in how the picture looks. Big deal the lens swivels around, and after a day or so you will get tired of that. It does nothing to actually help the camera. And also if you look at the lens from the side it is hazy and lacks color, which is a sign of a cheap screen.

Also notice this camera takes four large batteries whereas most of the competition takes only two. These extra batteries make it almost impossible to fit this camera in your pocket and weigh the camera down.

Most importantly I was disappointed with the optics of the camera. 4x zoom should come in clearer than what this camera delivers. Objects only 30 feet away will come in faintly and will lack crispness. One should not have to buy overpriced, proprietary lenses to take a good picture. A better bet would be the Fuji Finepix with 9MP which is more portable and has much better resolution.

The Canon PS A540 is a great camera IF you can buy it for $129.00, You can buy a Fuji that takes better low light pictures for $139.

Canon point and shot camea is good with picture quality.

Two complains I have with this camera: body size and the LCD screen. My brother just bought a Samsung 7MP point and shot camera during Christmas. Around $160. It also uses 2 AA batteries and the screen size is the same as my A540. The Samsung is slimmer and its LCD screen is much sharper than mine. I am not sure the picture quality of its printed photo since I have not seen one yet.

For the price I paid (around $170 shipped), this is a good camera. I will keep it for awhile.

I bought this Camera to take pics at my Daughter's wedding. The pics turned out terrific. Some better than the Professional Photog.

I recieved this camera as a gift about 6 months ago. I have had great experiences with it. The picture quality is amazing. The amaount at which you can zoom in on your pictures is amazing. For instance, we took a picture of a police car accross the street and kept zooming in just to see how far it would let us until it got blury. We could see what was in his backseat!! This camera never ceases to amaze me. It is a great gift! And an excellent camera for the price. I recently had the honor of taking my friend's engagement pictures with my camera...here is a slideshow of them....they look professional.

I was very disappointed to discover the Canon A-series is now made of plastic! I was expecting the same solid feel of the older Canon sureshot.

I called Canon and they said it is made of a "durable plastic" in order to make it lighter. I think that should be mentioned in the description.

Oh, and the lens is also made of plastic, which I didn't know (glass is superior but of course would cost more). My only complaint is that once again, there is no mention of that in the description.

I have that for few months and I have taken quite few pictures with it. Awesome screen size and picture resolution I love that thing, and the price for under $200 and over $150. Pretty good deal for a camera like this one, I recommend it I have always had Canon Cameras and I would never get any other kind. CANON is the best

I wouldn't consider myself a pro photographer, but I can tell the difference between a good photograph and a bad one.

I sold my Canon G5, a while back now, and loved that camera. Bought an Olympus E-500 to replace it, and as much as I love the olympus, I am selling it because I would prefer a point and shoot.

I read around about the A620, and everywhere I read it got rave reviews, so I figured I can't go wrong with it. I got it this morning, and have been snapping all day, and it is just brilliant! I have compared it to my E-500 (which is a DSLR) and the A620 comes very very very... you get the drift... close! I have taken pictures of the same thing moments after each other and displayed them on my computer screen, and it would take a better eye than mine to see any difference! OK the E-500 has more functions and settings, but I can't see myself ever using them, most likely to stay in auto mode!

Well, I dont know how canon do this, but at this price the quality of the pictures is great! You can't/won't go wrong with this little beauty!

As for the negatives, well some rechargable batteries wouldn't have gone a miss, but they cost next to nothing now-a-days. Also the feel of it is very plasticy, doesnt feel as well put together as my old Canon G5, but its still very sturdy.

So what you waiting for? go get one now! :-)

I was interested in this camera because of the swivel LCD. It looks really good in all areas, but it is missing a very important feature essential in cameras at this time:

Image Stabilization

It is making its way into all lines of cameras, including the Canon Elph series. Sony, Kodak -- they are all moving towards image stabilization.

I have used several cameras with image stabilization and I will never go back to a camera that doesn't have it.

The 2" LCD is also small by today's standards. The Kodak EasyShare One is selling at a very attractive price point right now (< $200, I got one for $149). It has a 3" swivel LCD, and great video mode with high compression and high quality. However, that camera also lacks image stabilization.

A camera can have excellent specs in all areas, but if it doesn't have image stabilization, blurry pictures will inevitably result in many lighting conditions.

Save your money, wait for image stabilization to make its way into this line of Canon cameras, or check out the many cameras on the market that have this now.

I thought I would wait a bit and get some usage in before I posted my review of the A620. I agree totally with the other reviewer's comments about performance and image quality etc, so I won't repeat them. I have taken thousands of photographs with this camera and it has been on two visits to the USA, several camping trips and has been lugged up hills and down dales here in the UK. The floppy plastic door on the USB socket is holding up surprisingly well and is still a perfect fit. I have found that threading the carry strap through the eyelet from the top of the camera makes opening and closing the door easier. 2500 mAh NiMh rechargeable batteries are essential extras and last for a very long time but add considerably to the mass of the camera. This causes problems when carrying it with the camera hanging by the strap as it has considerable momentum, and if you knock it into anything it will probably mark the plastic case. I particularly found this to be a problem banging into trekking poles etc when rambling. A well padded case is recommended if you are going to use it "in the field" Despite this, the camera still looks good and performs as it did out-of-the-box. I'm very pleased with it and it deserves five stars.

I am not a camera expert. Thus far I have used the camera only a few times. It has been entirely satisfactory. I have been favorably impressed with its design and quality. Canon telephone technical support for help with learning camera functions has been excellent. I chose this line of camera because it has a viewfinder. I am glad that I did, because trying to use the LCD screen to frame a shot in bright sunlight would be very difficult.

This is my 2nd digital camera. I researched intensely before buying, Amazon was awesome in that respect, I saved $30 using the Amazon card. I bought directly from Amazon and shipping was very fast. I have had it for about a month; taken pictures, transferred them to computer and had them printed.

I am very happy with the Battery Life, performance, and price. Shutter speed is much better than my old Kodak. I also like the optical viewfinder and don't understand why anyone would make a camera w/o one. The LCD screen on this camera is great!

The only negative - i have a hard time with all the options. I have not and probably won't use the movie features or many of the other features this camera offers.

For a digital camera that has been recently manufactured, this camera is unreasonably slow in its power up and response time. So slow, you might not even be able to capture scenic pictures before the sun goes down. Ok, I might be exaggerating a little, but not by much. This model is an embarrassment to Canon's otherwise nice line of cameras.

If you like pressing the shutter button and then having the picture snap two seconds later, this is the camera for you.

I have owned a 3.2 megapixel camera for about 4 years. The pentax Optio WR, I have taken backpacking on 4 two week long trips, canoeing and vactions to Europe, and it still works fine. It is a hardy little camera. However, I wanted to be able to take my digital camera scuba diving. There was no underwater housing avaliable for my pentax, so I bought the Powershot A620 for the 7 megapixels and the avaliable housing. I have been very pleased, the pictures are amazing! A big step up from 3 megapixels. It worked perfect in its underwater housing. We went on two dives in Cozumel Mexico Two dives in Grand Cayman and white water rafting in Jamaica and everything is still perfect. Yesterday we took the camera wakeboarding and today we will be diving in a rock quarry in ohio. I love this camera, it would be perfect along with the housing for anyone who wouldnt normally take their camera to these activities. I have been very impressed with the camera/housing combonation. I highly reccommend this camera and the housing.

This camera takes excellent pictures and is very simple to use. I also love the video feature and the viewfinder--neither of which are standard on a lot of cameras in this price range. The software is user friendly as well. My only complaint is that there doesn't seem to be an editing feature that allows you to edit the pictures before you upload them. Other than that, I would very highly recommend this camera to anyone who doesn't want to spend a fortune on a digital camera but does want to have decent quality photos.

This is a first-rate product and I am a second-rate operator. I am gaining on it, though! Each weekend I learn a few more functions. I wish it were not so complicated but once I master everything it will be great. Already I have taken some pictures of certain subjects (an elderly sled dog, for one) that are far superior to the many previous pictures taken with other cameras. This is a fine piece of equipment.

I bought this camera to use in conjuction with my Nikon SLR. It is small enough to be convenient to carry, yet takes very good pictures. The interface makes it relatively easy to use. The LCD is reasonably large and makes framing your shot pretty simple. The picture quality has been great. I'd highly reommend the camera.

Awesome digital camera. No complaints and shoot perfect pictures... I'm glad that I bought this camera from Amazon.

AI've been using a Canon F1 all my life and was a little intimidated going digital. Fear not! The A630 is like carrying a bag of accessories for the F1. You should have some experience with photography to get the full benefit from the A630. If you're a complete novice you will have to learn a lot before you will be able to get the full benefit of all the camera can do. You have to understand the terminology. IN auto mode you will get nice shots while learning the rest.

I like the A630 very much.

The Canon Powershot A540 digital camera is great little camera that take very good quality 6 megapixels photo.. Granted the quality doesn't compare to my Canon 1D mkii professional camera. The only thing lacking was the resolution on 2.5" inches LCD screen, but really great price.. Take 2 double batteries..

Got my new camera a few days ago and so far I'm very impressed with what it can do. It's got lots of different options but it's not really difficult to use. The zoom is a great tool and the quality of the pictures is excellent. For far I haven't had any battery problems and my 64mb memory card is holding up pretty well with a medium quality setting. From what I see, it's a great camera for those who have a simple digital camera and are looking for one with more functions and quality.

The A540 is easy to use, even its more advanced features, and it takes great pictures. A large memory card (1 GB and up) is a good idea if you want to take videos over a few minutes with sound in addition to still pictures. Rechargeable batteries are a must! My only complaint is the flash recharge is a little slow.

It is my first digital camera and I have now used it for four months. My assessment of it is that :

Advantages:

1. It has a great resolution, great colours and an absolutely fabulous print quality.

2. 7 megapixel allows substantial cropping of images.

3. Great battery life.

4. Flip LCD is fun to play with.

Disadvantages

1. The flash sometimes gives bright spots.

2. Small Screen; While most of it's competitors give a 2.5" screen this one only has a 2" screen.

3. Heavy; It uses four AA batteries which makes it heavy. This is not a carry in my pocket camera.

All in all, it is camera meant for ameteur photography enthusiasts. I will recommend Cannon A700 above this camera for the following reasons:

1. Bigger screen

2. Uses two AA batteries which make it lighter and easier to use.

3. The biggest advantage is that is has a 6x optical zoom which is a big plus as compared to a 7 megapix.

At the time I bought my camera A700 was unavailable so I went with A620 which is a very decent and does its job pretty well.
