Отзывы о Цифровой Фотоаппарат Canon PowerShot SX210 IS

I hate to say such a highly respected name as Canon would put out something this unsatisfactory. Some attributes were awesome as in night photography or even photos taken in a dark room (lighting turned out as if in day or lights in SOME photos came out beautifully while preserving the darkness surrounding BUT sometimes even the next photo of the same thing would appear to be a time lapse image with an awful result) I took this on a trip and took lots of photos using auto or easy mode which didn't help and I'd have to say 80% of photos taken were blurry or completely out of focus. When reviewing them I was sickened as I can never take those photos again. Returned it no questions asked so customer service is exceptional but man, this camera sucked. The images that did come out were stellar but it's not an outcome you can consistently expect. And forget motion, this camera can't handle action shots. Videos were jumpy at best, they would pause continually on camera review and on computer. I am so completely disappointed. Oh, and the camera, after taking a photo (which does have a delay at time of shooting) would give a "busy" symbol and message for quite a time so don't expect fast photography at all. If you have to wait for each image to process you're going to miss that next shot you really wanted as I did on many occasions. Sorry to say (and I am P.O.S.T. certified in forensic photography) that this camera was a complete waste of my time.

I got this camera to "upgrade" from my Canon sd 780is. What my main priority was a camera with HD video capability, low light photos, and the quickness in which i can take photos. Unfortunately, for this camera it only excelled in the video category. It takes great HD video and the speaker quality is great as well, but the video quality wasn't that much better than my old Sd 780 (if at all). While video recording it tended to focus in and out often which was very frustrating. It was a pleasant addition to have the opportunity to be able to have manual controls on a digital camera since i'm a die hard SLR fan. The megazoom was really great, and fun to play with. But that is where the positives end with me.The camera quality sucks, the photos came out pale and washed out, even soft looking (indoors and outdoors). I tried playing with the settings and I could get better shots, but for those quick shots, it fails. FYI: it will NOT catch anything that is moving, trying to catch up with my 2 yr old goddaughter was near impossible. I got better photos from my 2 year old Canon SD 870. The flash is terrible: it's terribly placed and its frankly annoying to have to push it down when i don't want an overbearing flash to flood my photos. It is a larger camera, fairly heavy, and my hands are small so I found myself holding it in an awkward position and fidgiting often to find a comfortable position to take photos. While the screen is large, I found that the photos always looked grainy.This camera is perfect on paper, it has all the specs to be a great camera. But the quality of it just isn't any better than Canon's older digital cameras which simply doesn't justify the price. I'd go grab the Canon S95 instead.

I really enjoy this camera. Great features and definitely far more advanced than your other standard "pocket" cameras. It has several features that take a while to get used to but they are great when you do. THe quality of the photos is great as well! The battery life is good. I can take about 200 pictures before it starts to slow down which is quite impressive for the brightness of the flash and auto review and all of the features provided. The zoom is my favorite part by far. You can get great zoom and great quality as well, especially for such a small camera.I have yet to use the video aspect of the camera, however.Very happy with this product.

Even though this was a Christmas present, I got to pick out my camera and this is the one I chose for a number of reasons. The top reason is the optical zoom. Having a camera that is this compact with an optical zoom of 14x is amazing and blows my old Canon SD1000 IS's optical zoom of only 3x out of the water. Next, would be the functionality. The SX210 IS is a nice middle of the road offering between the ELPH line and Canon's DSLR cameras, so it has some advanced features that advanced shooters will enjoy but it still retains some of the fun effects that are offered in the ELPH cameras (such as color swap, fisheye, and miniature effect). Honestly, the 14.1mp didn't sway me that much (I immediately set it to 9mp) but the clarity is amazing. Another nice feature is being able to shoot video in HD. I haven't connected the camera to the TV yet (with the provided stereo AV cable) but if it's anywhere nearly as clear as it is on the 3" widescreen, then I'm sure it'll look quite nice. I still have to tinker with different outdoor settings but I'm pleased that I haven't seen the bottom corner shadow that some people reported (though I think that might have been due more to poor photo composition rather than a performance issue on the camera's part). So I say all that to say that I'm very pleased with my gift and look forward to many years with this camera!

Takes great photos. Too many features to mention, and quite a learning curve to learn them all. However, one does not have to. The biggest drawback is the pop up flash which automatically pops up when the camera is turned on. Additionally, your finger easily gets in the way preventing the flash from popping up. This could eventually prevent use of the flash at all. The flash itself is not very powerful. If you can live with that, it is a wonderful compact camera with a great zoom for its size. For $200 (what I paid for it on Amazon) it is a lot of camera for the money.

I ordered this camera to use in a beginner digital photography class. I hadn't decided whether I wanted to by a dslr yet and I thought the manual controls on this camera would allow me to learn photography without making a huge financial investment. It was a great little camera with an awesome zoom lens. The flash is in an awkward place right uner your left index finger, but I think you would get used to that after a short while. In the end I decided to return this camera. I found that although it did have full manual controls, a lot of the functions were located within the camera menus. It was very time consuming to have to go through the menu to change the aperture, shutter speed and ISO while trying to get a shot. I ended up borrowing a Canon G9 from my brother that is older with less zoom on the lens, but all the manual controls are located on the outside of the camera via a dial or button.As far as ordering through Amazon, it was an excellent experience as always. They had a great price on the camera and it arrived very quickly. I went through the online return center and dropped the camera off at a UPS location on a Monday. By Tuesday they had the package back and my refund was processed within a day or two.

I needed a camera to replace my lost Panasonic DMC-ZS3, which was a very easy choice back when I bought it. Now there are many good cameras of this type to choose. I narrowed my choices to the Canon SX210 IS, the Samsung HZ35W and the Panasonic DMC-ZS7. I am fortunate to have a great camera store in my neighborhood. They are fortunate to have me for a customer, since I have have spent the price of a nice car there in the past 25 years. That's why the let me have three cameras to try over a weekend. I just went out with them and shot about 100 photos with each.It was easy to rule out the Canon, because it was just annoying to use. The zoom lever is tiny, there is no grip, no place for your thumb, the flash pops up whether needed or not, etc. - this may not bother you, but it was too much for me. If the Canon's image quality were significantly better than the other two, I might put up with the annoyance. Though the Canon's image quality was certainly very good, the Samsung and Panasonic photos were actually better when examined at 100%.It was a more difficult choice between the Samsung and Panasonic. I judged the Samsung's image quality to be better for my taste. The Samsung has a truly superior AMOLED screen, the best I have seen on a P&S camera. Comparing the ZS7's output to my old ZS3's, I saw little improvement. I had hoped for better, but it was close enough to the Samsung for me. The Panasonic also just felt right in my hand, since the body is the same as the ZS3 that I had used for a couple of years. In the end, I finally made the decision based on GPS performance, where the Panasonic is just in a different class. Google "site:[...] samsung hz35w gps" if you want to see what I mean. If you don't care about the GPS feature, I recommend that you give the Samsung HZ30W a try. It appears to be identical to the HZ35W except for having a conventional LCD screen, no GPS and lower price. This was the camera I had originally wanted to try, but none was available at the time.

I purchased this camera because I was tired of carrying my larger camera around. I'm still experimenting with it. I need to get used to holding a smaller camera still but I'm super happy with it. The zoom is great, photo quality is great, and it's easy to take it along with me everywhere and the small recharchable battery is wonderful. Keeps its charge for a long time and no more carrying around spare bulky ones. Now I never miss a photo op because I didn't feel like carrying a big camera along.If I could change anything it would be the location of the flash. It's right where you place your finger to hold the camera. However that is easily fixed by moving your finger.I'm very happy with this camera.

the camera is not the problem. When you buy this camera with amazon.com, and the SELLER IS AMAZON.COM, they will send you the refurbished one, with the package UNsealed. that is what they sent me.It is NOT written anywhere that it is new. and, it is not new at all. BUT, when I openned the unsealed box, everything was like new. I got screwed, mainly because when I order CD's, and the seller is : amazon.com and notan independant seller that sell through amazon.com, they used to sell the SEALED CD. Then I thought that this camera will be NEW AND SEALED. Oh Boy, I was so wrong.GOOD LUCK AMAZON TO SELL MORE IN THE FUTURE. I HOPE THIS TEXT WILL BE BACKED UP. It is 100% the truth.

Don't think that the pop flash is just old technology. It is actually an easy way to turn flash on or off without going through menus and making a selection. A great idea. After owning 3 Sony Cybershot cameras before switching to Canon for this one, I'm very pleased with this camera. What other small camera has a 14x zoom for under $200? The color quality and lighting correction are better than I have ever seen on Sony digital cameras. It is also amazing to me that they would make such a great camera with such a humble look.The ability to zoom when recording makes a big difference. My only problem with the camera is that the auto focus sometimes doesn't totally work until the shutter button is halfway pressed for a second.

In less than a year the automatic lens cover failed and the lens was not protected from debris. I shipped the camera to Canon Factory Service with the Amazon receipt as requested. They sent me a letter requesting more than half of the cost of the camera to cover repair. When I called Canon Service they offered me a lesser product in return. When I asked the representative why Canon offers an older model in return for the PowerShot SX210IS she replied, "That's just the way Canon does it." I also asked why the warranty did not cover repair costs and got the run-around.

I wanted a point-and-shoot with a lot of additional features, and this camera is great. The only thing is that the shutter speed is a little slow, and it tends to produce blurry pictures if not shot with great precision. Otherwise, this camera is amazing because it has very artistic effects such as Color Accent. Not many cameras have this feature, and it is tough to even produce that effect on Photoshop because you have to do it manually. Color Accent makes this camera a win for me. :)

This is a nice camera. Takes nice pics and movies and is easy to use. However, what good is a camera if you cannot download your pics and movies to your PC without having to be a computer guru. I am running windows xp on a dell with plenty of ram and disk space. I googled the error message I received when I tried to do my first download and came up with dozens of hits. This is a common problem for all cannon digital camera's. On cannons web site they have a "knowledge base" for problem solutions. Among my choices were: reboot; reinstall cannons software; reinstall windows; upgrade to a newer version of windows; download windows service packs; etc etc etc.... It is either my fault or my computers fault but cannon takes no responsibility. I also sent an email to cannon describing my problem in detail and the only response I received was an email stating that they had received my email. before you buy a cannon google your model number and look for problem/complaints.

This is a great camera for those that want a compact camera but need full control over the their shots. Only one thing I don't like about this is the shutter button. It is flush with the top of the camera and has a very light touch and feedback. It is hard to tell when you are pressing to focus or when you are releasing the shutter. I found myself inadvertently taking photos before I was ready. The button needs to be firmer so you know positively when you are focusing and when you are actually snapping the picture. I'm getting used to it but it is much, much lighter touch than my Nikon compact cameras. On the other hand, image stabilization is excellent at high zoom and picture quality is great.

I bought this camera after a trip to Alaska. I lugged a heavier Canon Rebel, which I did like , but after carrying all the equipment and lenses that I needed I decided life was just too short. I was constantly banging my camera and equipment into objects and people. Life on ship can be crowded.This little camera has been the answer to just about everything I needed in the way of a camera. It is light enough to carry anywhere, a big plus. I am very pleased with the video part, excellent quality. The sound could be a little better, but it is minor. There is so much packed into this little camera. If you like playing with all the manual features, like the SLR, they are there. I am still a beginner when it comes to all the different things like arpeture, etc. and that is what makes it fun for me. All these features are here as with my SLR but I can learn as I go with this camera and not feel like I need a degree in Photography just to get though the camera guide.I recommend this camera to anyone who likes a light weight camera with a excellent zoom and great pixels.

Although I have not tested the samera in all situations yet I have high expectations from what I have seen so far. This camera is as good as it gets withought going to an SLR or professional camera. It has taken great pictures in average light settings and the white ballance is good. There is an issue with the barrel of the lense casting a shadow in certain instances (i have tested this and seen an internet demo before i bought the camera and was aware that this was an issue), but i am willing to live with it, or set the camera to widescreen to "auto-crop" it out. Pictures look great so far, an amazing amount of features and many that I have not even tested yet! I am looking forward to using this for all my photography needs.THANKS CANON!

I just bought this camera over the weekend wanting some time to play with it before heading to Vegas. I took the camera out for a trial run at a Wisconsin State Park and was very happy with how the pictures came out, and I left the camera in AUTO mode the whole time.I have played around with some of the other settings and really did not find those to be a make or break for me wanting this camera much less see myself using to many of them.What was the make or break for me was the not only the image quality, but also the video. It does shoot 720p HD video and it does look good on my laptop. I really wish companies would get rid of the .mov format for video, makes it really hard to just use the basic movie maker in Windows, now I have to buy another program to do a conversion if I want to edit it at all. But you can upload to YouTube as is no problem.The ones thing that really has me bummed about the video that I did not hear in the video I shot at the local Best Buy, was the motor and zoom button noise that the mic pics up.In the store the music is so loud that it drowns out the motor sound and the click sound from pushing the zoom button. As for the click sound, with enough practice you can learn to hold the camera where you will not make that sound, but you can hear the motor sound. It is not loud, but you can hear it.The camera does take a little time to get use to holding. I did find myself many time putting my finger in front of the flash, but after a while I was able to find a comfortable place for my left hand.Here are some shots I took with the camera, the first 3 shots I wanted to see how close across the lake I could get zooming in. The first shot is no zoom, the next is the 14x normal zoom and the 3rd is maxed out at 56x digital zoom.Pictures 4 and 5 are the same, picture 4 is maxed out and picture 5 is no zoom.[...].Pros:Pictures look good in AUTOVideo quality is goodLightEasy to useGreat battery life.Cons:Some bad design featuresMotor sound in video when zoomingHard to hold with left hand

I thought a camera with 14.1 MP, 14X optical zoom and so many features would be the perfect compact camera for my travels. However, I was greatly disappointed after trying it out. What I disliked about the camera:1) The flash was located at a location where it would distract your focus and hinder you; you can't even hold the camera properly when the flash is up. As a result, you get fingerprints all over the LCD screen. It's also very frustrating to use the flash; sometimes instead of a push of a button, you have to manually flip up the flash for the "flash on" function to work.2) The camera has many features and they are all cramped into this compact camera. As a result, sometimes you have to go through several steps to get to the function you want and the manual is not going to help you much. It's not a user friendly camera.3)The image quality is not good. You really have to stand very, very still for the pictures to come out okay. Most of the pictures look fine while viewed on the camera LCD, but once loaded into the computer or printed, they look blurry.I was looking forward to a compact camera with high optical zoom and can take good pictures in low light situations, but this is not it. I ended up returning it for a refund.

I didn't purchase my SX210IS from Amazon, but got it from Newegg because I kept waiting for the price to go down from the $299.00 price that Amazon had it set at for a couple of weeks, and then raised it back up. Anyway, Newegg had it for $299.00, with bing cash back and they threw in a digital key chain. I've only had the camera now for a few days, but I'm so amazed at how nice it looks and performs. I read many reviews on camera websites, and all the reviews here, and out of all the other Canon cameras to choose from this was the best one for me. I shoot lots and lots of Landscape Photos, and many at a great distance, and definitely need a good Zoom, which this camera DOES have. I wanted also, a camera that would take HD Video with zooming in/out functions. It does a great job in taking video and photos. I've read about folks that don't like the flash popping up by their left finger, and I just don't have that problem because I never hold cameras with my finger on the left top, probably because I take a lot of pictures with one hand :-) while driving on the road. But, I'm sure after you accidently have your finger there and the flash pops up, it won't take long to know not to put it there. It's just a non-issue with me. I also read some reviews about when you're in photo mode you only see the image through a portion of the LCD screen and that black bars are on both sides. Well, I noticed that too, until I changed my settings to "wide screen", which is the type of photos I prefer. So, the screen displays the entire image, including when you take videos. There is nothing that I've found that I don't like. The number one thing I like, is the fact it fits perfectly in my back jean pocket. I did order an extra battery, case, 8GB memory card, and another extra charger with A 12 volt adapter for my vehicle from Amazon. I'm a happy camper!

Zoom +: 14x OPTICAL zoom! OPTICAL OPTICAL OPTICAL!Diaphragm +: 1:3.1-5.9. A very important technical detail that normally got ignored. This one is great with it's 14x optical zoom, which enhances the capability of movement capture and picture quality.Flash +: good performance.Video +: Nice sound and picture quality. Not enough to work as a movie material, but its largest setting is OK for a 1080p TV, and smallest setting is good enough on YouTube.Focus Speed -: a little bit slow. You would think you are able to catch a great movement picture for its diaphragm, but NOOOOO. The auto-focus speed is slow - in my case, no pictures of a dolphin with any parts above the blue sea, but pretty good pictures of its whole body underneath a moving surface. :(Ease of Use -: If you are for the "ease-of-use" of a camera, you might have to reconsider. To compromise its well-designed 14x opt-zoom, diaphragm and flash, the company squish the flash to the corner so it is not very comfortable to hold on the left. Meanwhile, the panel buttons on the back give up their sizes and signs for the large LCD screen, which might make someone have to "guess" if new to a Canon.Overall, 5 star if you can get it under $200, and is still highly recommended within $250.

This is a nice camera; Canon does not disappoint. From my experience, these are the best pictures (and zoom) you can get with such a compact camera.My only complaint is that it takes too long to save between picture and picture.

I have bought this product and I am pretty much impressed with its performance. You make use of the features and will definitely love this. I came back to buy the same product here and found that the price went up (it's doubled). Yes I have bought it for $200 and it prices about $400 now.

I bought this last month. I haven't explored all the features and settings yet. I've only used the Auto settings to take most pictures and the Video setting. I am impressed with the image quality and zoom capabilities in particular. I have taken pictures of things I couldn't see with the naked eye and the camera has captured those with precision.Video is great quality for a compact and the microphone works well too.All in all, a good buy for a compact camera that fits your pocket and your budget.Yea, as pointed before flash position is weird but you get used to it if you don't own 10 cameras :-)

After long hours spent reading reviews, visiting store displays and comparing other cameras I settled on this. My original intention was to get the smaller point and shoot, but I'm glad I settled on this for the longer zoom. It performed very well in low light - I prefer to use the flash as little as possible. I love that I can just push the flash down insuring it doesn't go off when I don't intend for it to. I mainly used the preset settings because I didn't have time to read the instruction manual before my trip. As a novice, those pictures came out better than when I tried to control the settings in all but one instance. After borrowing a friend's older canon for a few shots, I realized how helpful the optical stabilizer on this is to me. Similar shots with the two cameras came out much clearer on mine. My only complaint is that it's just a bit slower than I'd like. I got most of the shots I wanted but was a bit slow on a couple and missed the shot. I knew that going in, but despite that still felt it was the best camera out of all those that had similar features and price. I made sure to charge the battery every day as I was taking a lot of pictures. The two times I didn't charge or fully charge my battery died before I was done shooting.
