Отзывы о Цифровой Фотоаппарат Canon PowerShot SX210 IS

Great camera! I looked around for months for the perfect one to take on my study abroad experience for the upcoming semester. LOVE the zoom. This nifty little camera can do so much! It so far has taken amazing pictures, better than my boyfriends nine hundred dollar camera. All the functions and options you can do with this camera are perfect. The one thing I don't like is where the flash is positioned. It flips open and is exactly where your finger would be when you normally hold a camera to take a picture. Luckily, canon has built the flash so that you can open and hold shut the flash manually without breaking it. I would definitely buy this camera for your wife, husband, son, daughter, or even parents. Top Camera for the 2010 Christmas season. Anyone would love to have this under their tree.

I was looking for something to replace my Powershot SD600 which has finally started having problems after being a great point and shoot for over 6 years. The SX210IS was easy to use right out of the box and takes GREAT pictures, even for someone who doesn't use all of the features. I had thought that the (lack of) view-finder would be difficult for me, but I guess that the occasional use of cell phone cameras has moved me into the way of the future, because that is not a problem.The automatic pop-up flash took a little while to get used to, but for a novice photographer, I acutuall find the ability to (gently)close the flash without going through the menu a plus - choosing to take shots without the auto flash was never really considered before, but now I get the chance to play with that.Very satisfied with the camera!

Wanted a purse camera with easy auto shooting for sports, parades, school functions. Pictures are blurry or dark b/c in auto mode the flash doesn't fire. Had to switch to Manual mode to get the flash to even fire. And, yes, I manually would lift the flash before turning the camera on. I read the whole manual to try and figure this thing out. Low light and night conditions are horrible for this camera and it can not be used for point and shoot. Auto mode and easy mode do not work either. I'm now looking into getting a Lumix again.

This is a great camera. I chose it because of the enormous zoom and the HD video recording. There are many useful and fun features to keep life interesting. The only thing that could be better is the flash which is a pop-up arrangement. It's no big deal but if it was just inbuilt and not another moving part it would be better. In all other respect though it is well worthwhile.

I'm editing this review again, now that I've had it for several months.I bought this to replace my Canon SD600. I do LOVE the zoom lens, it's the only reason why I am going to hang on to this camera. the wide angle is nice to have too. but more and more, I have been choosing to bring my SD600 with me since it is smaller and in many ways, better. two reasons why:1. for the SX210IS, consistency is unreliable. sometimes I get amazing photos, sometimes they are bad-- blurry (even when I'm using a tripod), too dark, too light, etc. when I get a good photo, it is awesome. but for the most part I feel like I could trust the SD600 more.2. image detail when viewing @ 100% on my computer--- as a test, I shot several photos on auto mode in my living room, focusing on a painting that was about 8 feet away from me. There was plenty of light. on my computer, I zoomed in at 100% and compared the sd600 and sx210 photos side by side. the details of the painting were much sharper on the old sd600 every time-- with or without flash. (note: images were in focus and my hand was steady.) I heard this is an issue with many of the new compact cameras. companies are trying to pack in as many megapixels as possible, but the sensors are not good enough. megapixels don't matter if the sensor sucks.

An incredible little camera with fabulous features for on-the-go shooting. As a die hard Nikon fan I was hesitant to purchase this Canon. But the 15x zoom, 14 mp and small size put me over the edge and I'm glad I made the switch. It's not as great as the DSLR's or the full feature digitals but it's excellent for everyday use and quick, high quality photos. This little Canon also seems to be designed much better then simlar cameras from Nikon, Sony and Samsung. Pros - size, zoom, ease of use, design, photo quality and cost when compared to other camras with the same features. Cons - flash is a little awkward but easy to work around, LCD screen has no protection from potential scratches (sleeve or case is necessary). Overall, highly recommended and loving it!

I've owned this camera for a few months now. It's got some nice features but one issue that really bugs me.The good:* Great Zoom* Great pictures* Great 720P video, even while zooming* Lots of control options. It's not a DSLR but probably the next best thing for control.The not so great:* Flash is right where you want to hold the camera* Microphones are right where you want to hold the camera.* If you're narrating, the audio seems to vary a lot.* Autofocus is pretty slow if you're using the camera for video.* Not sure if image stabilization works for video, but if so, it does not work well* Zoom motor noise is obvious in videos.The bad (IMHO):* This camera is not dust proof / resistant and dust gets into the optics really easily. It would be one thing if it were easy to clean but, it's impossible as far as I can tell. So, once it happens you're stuck with sparkles in every shot that has sunlight coming in from the side, lighting up those dust specs.It's a shame that a couple o-rings weren't thrown into the design to make it more "pocketable".joe

The lens are not dust proof. After a few months of normal use (no beach), dust gets inside the camera lens, being impossible to clean them up, unless you send the camera for service.

I was excited about this camera after reading all those positive reviews about it on amazon and before i bought it. finally after i received and used it for 5 days, i was pretty disappointed. the face recognition only works on certain modes, and doesn't work in AV and TV and program modes. for AV and TV modes, it only can be focus on the center, and you have to recompose it after focusing. so that means the focus can be off sometimes, depends on how far the focus is off the center after recomposing. i use AV a lot for my older canon camera, so this is a big blow for me. so i shifts to auto mode. when i use auto mode, the flash fired off a lot, which kills a lot of my indoor pictures. i hates flash. to me the auto mode is not that "smart", or i don't like the result of the photos i took with the auto mode. sometimes the depth of field is not what i want. low light mode work pretty well (i think it can only focus on center too). but you have to dig into the menu to select it.when you get a memory card, please get a "class 6" or higher. bigger video files will not be able to download to your computer if it is lower than class 6. for video shot, if the subject is moving a lot, the camera's focus sometimes will be soft and focus, soft and focus as it tries to look for the face of the subject that is moving. so this is not good either.all things consider, i am thinking about returning this camera. i like panasonic lumiz FZ-35 better. at least it doesn't have the focusing issue.

I expected this camera to give crystal clear pictures. In truth, my 10 year old Olympus takes a better quality picture! Also, the flash mechanism was right under where I normally hold the camera, so it wouldn't automatically raise and had to be done manually most of the time. Loved the color, which is why I considered the camera in the first place (dumb reason!), but expected it to be state-of-the-art quality after reading the write-ups as well. I returned the camera and received a refund (this portion of the transaction was perfect).

First my daughter wanted me to go in with her on this camera for Christmas for her Marine son who is going to Afghanistan. I did. On Thanksgiving at my house I found out my Montana granddaughter wanted a camera for Christmas & I was asked again to help. I did. She & her mom went shopping online & found this one for her in gold. After they left I bought a black one for me & one for my daughter in Texas for Christmas. Since then, one of her daughters got one for Christmas also. I have had 2 digital cameras. This one has to be the greatest! We bought 5 in less than 2 weeks. Fast & Fun. Small, lens protected, image stabilization - love it..

This little camera is amazing! I had been slowly working my way up to owning a professional camera with the hopes and dreams of becoming a wildlife photographer when life threw me for a loop and suddenly i'm going to be living pretty much out of a suitcase for a very long amount of time. So i packed up my beloved old camera and sold it and then wanted a new camera that was small, had lots of settings, good megapix, a great zoom, and that i loved. This camera is so perfect, i couldn't be happier with my choice and with the photos that it takes! just took my family pictures last week, and will be taking some engagement/wedding photos with it this next week!

I love love love the photos I have taken so far. The low light are fantastic, and the zoom is incredible. The only con I can see is where the flash has been placed as my finger is always there when I start it up. Its going to be just a matter of getting used to holding it differently.Almost over a year later and I still love this camera even more than my rebelsIt's over 2 years old and still works well and delivers great photos even in low light.

Overall, the camera is very good and has many very nice features. When I purchased it, I really thought that it would be much more compact in size. It is quite large compared with many other point and shoot digital cameras with similar features. I actually had problems finding a case that would fit it properly....they were either too small or too large. Even though I like it, I'm not sure that I would repurchase this item.

Reviewed a lot of point and shoot cameras before selecting this one.Pros: Takes great pictures and has a great zoom for a such a little camera. And, it's good in low light.Cons: This is not a great action camera...not fast and a little fuzzy. Have to get used to holding it without covering the flash. Just have to get used to it.Overall:Very easy to operate and takes very good pictures. I have a NikonD5000 which is fantastic for action shots and takes great pictures but, it doesn't fit in my pocket like this one does. I'm really happy with it. It does what a little camera should do really well and is very cute. i got the purple which shows the print on it better than the gold.

This is the best P&S camera I have ever purchased. There is little positive I can add that has not already been said, so I will only list my otherwise minor gripes about an otherwise great product.Most armatures (like me) will find themselves using the AUTO feature quite often, at least until they are confident enough with the more specialized settings, and for the most part it is a great feature. One aspect I like is the ability to focus the AUTO setting to adjust based on the area of the scene that is most important. Such as center, surroundings, and full scene. However if you intend to take a lot of quick shots, it takes a few seconds to 'prep' the shot before it is perfect, which might be irritating... This is also the case when taking video. If you make rapid changes in distance and lighting, the few seconds of blur can be irritating.Another thing is the speed with which the camera actually takes the pictures. Mine seems to pause about 3 seconds between every snap while I hold down the button. And this is even with preview disabled. Reducing the picture resolution doesn't seem to have any effect either. Perhaps a faster SD card might help, but they get very expensive past the 15Mb/s rating. I wish there was a way to speed this up.Lastly, the microphone. It is stereo, which is nice, but it seems to dull the higher ranges and is very easy to accidentally cover up with your fingers while taking long videos.

With the newest release of PowerShot models Canon has changed the recording format of the videos from Motion-JPEG based.AVI files to Quicktime.MOV files. According to them this was done to reduce the file size and improve the quality of the videos.You can use the ZoomBrowser software to convert the files to other format types and save them:It takes about 15 to 60 minutes to convert the videos, but I only need to convert the videos that I am e-mailing to friends that don't know about QuickTime.1. Select the images.2. Click [Export]. The [Export] menu appears.3. Click [Export Video]. The settings window appears.4. Specify desired settings. For detailed information, click the [?] button and refer to the Help displayed.5. Click [Finish]. The processing window appears and the settings areexecuted.Using the ZoomBrowser software that was provided with the camera you cancreate original movies by linking movie clips and still images. You caneven add titles and other text, background music and various specialeffects. To do this, open the ZoomBrowser software and select [Edit]and [Edit Movie], then follow the steps outlined in the software.

I have owned and operated the Canon SX 210 IS for approx a year. Have noted marked inaccurate color distortions when shooting inside in AUTO or EASY mode...which must be corrected by manually adjusting white balance, light metering, etc.to achieve anything close to accurate colors...but takes time and often miss the photo op.The same thing often occurs outside, in natural light, with neutral objects (like straw hats, clouds, etc.) taking on an unnatural yellow color...even skin colors often take on the colors of the surrounding objects. Very frustrating...something expected from a much less expensive camera...this problem with untrue color reproduction is beneath the acceptable quality of a good camera...this is not a good point and shoot camera...photographer must constantly work to correct color distortions manually.One wonders if Canon did any quality control testing with the SX 210 IS ??

I bought this camera specifically for a trip to National Parks in the southwest. The pictures turned out great. I also brought along my old camera and my husband took pictures with it (Sony Cybershot). His pictures didn't have the clarity and color that the Canon had. The one major problem is the placement of the flash. It's so annoying because you naturally put your finger in that position which stops the flash from popping up. So you have to turn the camera off and then on again.Another issue I have with them is that they don't give you a printed user manual, it comes on a disk. Who's going to print off 180 pages so they can have the user guide to take along on the trip? Exactly! Come on Canon, when you pay this much for a good camera, you need the hard copy of the user manual, don't be so cheap! Send us the user guide.

Very nice camera with excellent zoom and photos. It's quite complicated unfortunately to find information because the user guide is online and is very long to print. I needed information quickly that I had to go online to look up. Too bad they don't include the guide with the camera

I can't say I've looked too in depth into the manual, but I did have quite a time trying to set the settings on the manual mode. I can't blame the equipment yet because I'm not extremely familiar with the terms. I didn't give it a full 5 stars because one of the reasons I got this camera was for the supposed excellent indoor photo quality. while yes, it does take really good photos when its all indoor lighting, the quality change is pretty drastic if there is any amount of natural light involved as well. I tried playing with indoor and outdoor modes for this and it seems pretty difficult to find a medium. Perhaps someone with more experience would be able to figure it out more but as someone who purposely chose a point and shoot over an SLR for ease, it's a little disappointing. I read some complaints about the bottom right corner being darkened because of a "lense shadow" in indoor closeups, I haven't had any problem with that. Overalla very nice camera, excellent photos when zooming far in, just have a steady hand when taking them.

The best part of this camera is it has a wonderful display. The interface is very good, navigating wheel on the right bottom corner is very useful. The picture quality in broad day light is amazing but night shots are okay. Any slight movement of the camera in the night mode will blur the image. Specially many might be reluctant to take gold one but i bet its 1000 times better looking that the black one. My friend and me bought around the same time he got black and i gold, he still feels bad for his choice. The battery life is pretty good. I would say its worth for the money.

I was skeptical at first when I first purchased this device, 14mp with a 14 zoom made me feel like every other feature on this device would be no good. I was quite wrong.The device itself has a stunning array of features. What I enjoy the most is the clarity of the pictures I take thanks to the high mega pixels, good optics, and huge zoom that is provided by this camera. The camera even can recognize and interface with my Eye-Fi Card, something I have not been able to do on previous point and shoots. I would highly recommend this camera.

I had a Casio Exilim before this which was small, fun and easy. I was looking for something similar when I stumbled upon this based on someone's review. I am not disappointed. It's way better.I took this on vacation to B.C. Canada and the photos are amazing. The other couples I was with had $1000 cameras with 15 megapixels and my images are just as good. The zoom is amazing, I shot a bald eagle way up in a tree and its crystal clear. The video is great too. I bought a 4g card and near the end of my trip it was full so I suggest getting a spare. I guess b/c of the higher resolution. The only drawback was the battery life. It wore out in 2-3 days of use. I knew that going in b/c of the reviews but bought it anyway so my next trip I will bring a spare with me. I got the purple one so it would stand out in my bag and be easy to find. Don't get it if you dont like purple b/c it is PURPLE. I like the fact that the flash pops up but my finger got in the way the first few days until I started to remember to not put my finger in that spot. Overall, the camera is easy to operate, takes great photos and I highly recommend it for point and shoots.
