Отзывы о Цифровой Фотоаппарат Canon PowerShot SX210 IS

I wanted so badly to like this camera... I tried and tried, but there was no way I could get accustomed to the pop up flash. The major problem is the placement of the flash. It's exactly where you put your finger or thumb to hold the camera. No matter how many times I tried to remember to hold it differently, I just couldn't. You turn on the power and there it is...right under your index finger, trying to pop-up but it can't because your finger is there.Sure, you can manually pull the flash up from its hiding place if you need it, but that's a hassle, especially because the flash doesn't always know that its supposed to be powered on now that it's in the up position.This is just a bad design, period. I read a lot here before buying and the major complaint seemed to be that the flash casts a shadow in the picture, but I only noticed that a few times. Really, the bigger problem is that this thing is just not ergonomically designed.The extra wide angle was great as well as the super zoom, and those are the major reasons I bought this unit, but in the end, I just couldn't live with the flash trying to open up under my finger every time I turned it on.Manual features were great, ability to control the output of the flash was nice for indoor portraits, macro feature seemed to work well, too.Back to the drawing board with this one Canon.

I have had several digital cameras, most small Canon's and I bought this one for the zoom. It is great. Unfortunately a problem I experience with this camera is that about half of my pictures are not in focus. It is very sensitive to the setting and often just will not focus.

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.

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.

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 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.

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.

I'm so glad I purchased this camera. The zoom is incredible, I love having the HD video. The features are as good as or better than my bigger camera. There are a few downsides, that are minor compared to how great the camera is. My biggest complaint is the battery/SD card door is very difficult to open, and the side door for the USB could provide better clearance for plugging it in. I never thought I'd get a zoom this good in a camera this small.

Pros:- Excellent photos, great lens range, strong camera body.- The sensor captures rich rich tones in my photos.- I wish that the next version will make Wide Angle wider and Zoom Mode deeper, with a the same form factor.- I accidentally dropped this camera from my chest level to the cement floor. The corner metal is a bit dented. But my camera is still working! :D This camera is so strong! Next time I'll be more careful, of course.- You can zoom while taking videos, and the quality is good. Compare this to SD800 IS, where video zoom is fake. SX200 IS Video Zoom is real, direct from the lens.- With a tripod and proper settings, night or low-light photos are glorious.- At last, someone has dedicated a separate "Play" button for viewing photos. You can turn on the camera with this button to view photos, and the lens will not expand.Cons:- Battery indicator still unpredictable, just like more cameras. It's important to have an extra battery.- I wish the aperture can be up to f/2- I wish it the lens range will be expanded further. Make it 18mm Wide Angle, and yet it's 32x Zoom!

I love (nearly everything) about the Canon Powershot SX210 IS. It doesn't take photos in RAW, which isn't a big deal to me. The image stabilization doesn't come even close to as smooth as the stabilization of my Rebel T2I with either the 18-55mm kit lens or the Tamron 18-270mm VC lens in video or still shots, but to compare the 2 is unfair for the compact camera. For what it is and does it's the next best thing when I can't carry a DSLR. Shot to shot speed is on mine quite impressive for a compact, again to compare it to a DSLR is slow, but unfair. Truth is it's used more often than my DSLR cameras because it's so much easier and convienient{SP} to tag along when I'm on the go. The quality of the images is impressive when the proper mode is used and or used in Manual mode, A Pri or S Priority. Video is quite good, but will definitely require tripod at the long end of it's impressive 14x optical zoom. I never use digital zoom on any camera because of both my shaky hands and image degradation, therefore I can't fairly comment on that. Others complain about the pop up flash which activates in all modes, but it's so easy to either hold it down or push it down that it's a non issue. All-in-all I'm very satisfied with my new Canon Powershot SX210 IS. And of course I've purchased many items from Amazon and I'm always impressed with their shipping prices (free mostly) and shipping speed!
