Отзывы о Цифровой Фотоаппарат Canon PowerShot SX210 IS

I bought this camera after receiving an email from Canon about the new releases in March and falling in love with the print. I thought, YES! this is exactly what I was looking for. I own 3 Canon cameras and have been a loyal customer for years. Much to my dismay, this camera is disappointing. I should have waited and checked the camera out in the store - hands on. My biggest diappointment is the slow processing time. I have 2 year old twins that I wanted to take close-ups of without always being in their face. I have to wait a total of 4 seconds between each shot before the camera is free to take another. Way too long with children or animals or anything that moves. The Canon tech support suggested I turn off the review, but how would I know if I got the picture I wanted? so that was not a good option for me. The zoom button in my opinion is hard to maneuver. My finger gets sore pressing that tiny, sharp lever. I would not recommend this camera to people who have any kind of arthritis. The zoom is slow, which I would not mind if it wasn't also hard to press. In all fairness, you can get some superb shots with this camera. I took some close-ups in a parade and was happy with most of the pictures. Probably lost some good photo opportunities because of the slow processing time. As hard as it would have been for me, I would have forgone my loyalty to Canon and gone with another name brand like Nikon, but I don't see anything like this out there YET. The bigger zoom cameras are bigger and don't really slip into your purse. I just wish I knew why this camera is so slow in processing? Such a step backwards for such a great company. Knowing what I know now would I still have bought this camera? No way!!! Canon can do better and should do better and probably will do better. I wish I had waited a little longer until they worked the bugs out.

The product is good but seems to not exceed expectation but under low lights this is ok but overall a good one.

Excelent Price, fast Shipping.Easy mode to take Automatic, Manual, Landscape, Pets and Object in motion, Multi focus, 720 HD Video, etc...

I haven't had the chance to really put the camera through its paces yet, but so far, things seem pretty good.When I was looking at it in the stores, I was worried about the little toggle for adjusting the zoom... It seemed too small and finnicky and not so easy to control... a bit uncomfortable, too, since it was angled and hard, but I can live with it.I don't mind the flash popping up. I usually am holding the camera in the area and it keeps the flash down easily.The LCD screen is a nice size.I was shooting some indoor shots in low light. The automatic settings--auto, night, indoors--all seemed to over-expose the shots--which was worrying, but I switched to manual (the controls were fairly intuitive, so I didn't have to keep referring to the manual), and could take shots without a tripod. As long as I can get shots fairly easily, I don't mind. But for those wishing for better auto shots in low light, I guess they are correct in complaining, or at least noting the problems.My expectations aren't high... I just needed a new camera to replace one I've had for five or six years--so just about anything new would be better for me! I wanted this one because I hadn't tried a Canon before and everyone was always raving about them (I'd had Olympuses), and I liked the super-zoom in a small point and shoot. The size and weight is convenient. The color is cute, too. I think it will work for me as a fun little camera that is capable of a bit more (especially regarding the zoom) than the average digital camera.

This is a very fun compact camera. I don't believe they upgraded the sensor from previous Powershot cameras so the picture quality isn't a miracle or anything. What is really cool about the sx 210 is the zoom lens. I get shots with this camera that just wouldn't have been possible with my old Elf. There is such a huge difference between using the true optical zoom on this or the digital zoom of my old camera. In that way, there is sort of an increase in picture quality because I can get in close on my subject and not have to crop my pictures and lose resolution later.The video function is also a plus. The sound from the stereo mic is decent and, again, the zoom lens really comes into play in terms of the shots you can get. I've shot videos of my kids on stage, clear across a large hall, and really come up with some nice clips.I haven't used the manual settings on this camera as much as I thought I would. I've found it difficult to focus accurately or quickly enough with the little wheel. I play with it sometimes for macro shots and such but, primarily, I've used the automatic function to good effect. Someone who wants to spend the time and play with the various functions and gimmicks will probably enjoy this quite a bit. I tend to have my hands full these days and it has been very useful as a point and shoot, enhanced significantly by the ability to zoom in close.The pop-up flash takes some getting used to but over time I've come to like that feature. There are a lot of times I don't want the flash to fire and it's nice to be able to just snap it shut or hold it shut as you turn on the camera. It becomes second nature eventually.

It is a fairly compact camera that packs a 14X optical zoom lens with image stabilization. A wide LCD display is good for review and play back recording movie. It is very easy to use because simple button.Both the picture and movie quality are good. You could take good pictures in low light condition. You could also adjust the zoom when recording movie. I like to set the dial to `Auto Mode' as I can take picture by pressing the shutter button or record movie by press the movie button. I could still take pictures while recording movie. It is a good choice for traveling if you do not demand too much in photographing.

I just received the camera. The camera itself is great because we bought one for my sister from a retail store. I wanted to buy one for myself too. I ordered one which just arrived but the camera has fingerprints all over its screen at feels like as if it is used. I am going return it.

The features are great, as well as the small form-factor. However, the image quality is just appalling. The sensor is noisy (despite the 14 megapixels, which is a joke!) and the optics are poor. Not recommended at any price point, because the pictures should go to trash.

I have little to add to Stephen's comprehensive review except to say I love this camera as well. So this review will be more of a first impression "gut" feel about this camera.I also miss a viewfinder and have the same trouble with my finger getting in the way of the pop-up flash. Both are minor issues.I own a Nikon D90 and D300, but I also travel with a small PowerShot as my "pocket camera." My first was a SD900, followed by an SD990IS (which was a slight improvement). Yet I was never really happy with the image quality of either, and the video was a greater disappointment.I was about to buy a top-rated S90, in spite of its age in digital camera terms. Yet I opted to pre-order the SX210IS, as newer is generally better.Both the 14.1 MP 14X Zoom are a bit over the top - I'd prefer a wider angle and not so much zoom! Yet no regrets - image quality, color saturation and HD video quality are noticeably better than the SD ELPH series (some costing more than the SX210IS).I just bought two 32 GB SD cards and can't wait to shoot lots of street photos and some video on an upcoming trip to Barcelona. This camera is perfect in places where expensive DSLR or HD camcorder equipment would attract the attention of petty thieves.I did have one instance while photographing kids, where the camera simply would not auto-focus. Yet that may have been new-user error, as I had my D90 in the other hand. No problems since.When a new HD model of the S90 is released, I'll likely give away my SX210IS, as I did with my previous PowerShots. I hope it is not soon, as my new SX210IS is the first ever PowerShot that I am truly happy with.

I was debating on getting a regular pocket size camera or a big DSL camera and ended up with this one. I took it on vacation to the jungle and was able to zoom in and take pictures of animals and birds at the very top of the canonpy tree-line. I love this camera and have recommended it to all my friends!

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.

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.

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.

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

This review is my personal opinion. I bought this camera elsewhere, but Amazon is still perfectly safe. The SX210IS has a wide screen LCD. This is great is you like to take a lot of movies. If not, the screen is just too big for the pictures that it takes. I bought it mistakenly thinking that it could take shots in the same shape as a print, that is 4 by 6. But this camera does not do that. It takes 4:3 shots and 16:9 shots (as in standard and wide screen TVs). Most folks will want 4:3 and for this, the screen is too wide. The camera has what reviewers call "heft." I call it heavy. Too heavy for my shirt pocket. On the plus side, it takes very decent pictures and has a number of settings usually found on SLRs, such as Aperture and Speed priorities. In short, if you want a mini-SLR and you don't mind the default 4:3, than this camera will work great. On the other hand, if you want a second camera, one to just throw in your purse or carry in your pocket, then look for something lighter.

I purchased this camera on April 17th and have taken 200 photos in the last week. My battery indicator still has a full charge. The low light and natural light photos are great and I am very happy with my purchase. I was concerned that you only get a basic printed manual and the rest is on a CD. However, after reviewing the manual on my computer, there weren't any sections that I felt I needed to print out. The on screen menus are easy to follow and the pop-up flash, while somewhat annoying, hasn't been a problem for me. I do what another reviewer suggested and hold my finger over it when I turn on the camera. It appears to be more fragile than my Fuji Finepix J10 and I find myself being extra careful and gentle with it. But it may just seem so since it cost so much more. I find myself wanting to go on vacation or to the zoo so I can take some really cool photos to compare with my other two cameras (the Fuji and a Panasonic DMC-FZ30). All in all, I am very pleased.For those of you wanting a hard shell case to protect this camera, I finally found the right fit in the Case Logic SLDC-202 Compact Camera Case. It will fit your camera perfectly with a hard shell on both front and back, and there is a front pocket for a spare battery and memory card.

I read a lot before buying this, the main problem with it is it's shutter lag and the complexity to make your own settings, the picture quaility is just okay. If you are to buy a compact camera don't think twice, spend a couple of more bucks and get the LX-5, that one is amazing.

Purchased this camera right before Christmas. I'm still learning to use all the features. So far, I have been pleased with the pictures. I tried the video indoors and the quality was good; however, there appears to be some focus blurr during shooting. Still haven't used the camera outdoors yet.

I'm a professional photographer who is bitten by the point-and-shoot bug. I purchase a new point-and-shoot about once every year and a half. Not because I "need" one but because I'm on a quest to find the best one for the money. I am interested in long zooms with strong image quality, especially in the higher ISO's. Also, good focusing in low light is very important, as I like to photograph candids with no flash indoors. This camera has it all in these categories. The image quality is excellent and the zoom range is wide and long. It's the widest I've had in this price range and at 14x is long enough to get some excellent telephoto shots. Also, it's small enough to fit in the pocket, which was very important to me. I also love the matrix meter in this camera. It is not as affected by back lighting situations as my other point and shoots.

I purchased this camera for my mother who is by no means technically savvy. She has had the camera about a month and has taken it on one trip already. The camera is very easy for her to operate and the screen is improved from other Canons. The use of this camera in low light is one of many reasons I chose it. The main downside of the camera is a design flaw: where one would traditionally hold a camera there is a pop up flash which is held down by your left index finger. Avoiding this causes you to hold the camera a bit awkward.

I'll leave the technical reviews to others. I bought the SX210 primarily for the 14x zoom and it has let me get some fantastic photos. I was even at one event where a guy with a digital SLR who had been sitting behind me came up to me at the end and asked me about the SX210 because he had seen (over my shoulder) the shots I was getting with the zoom and was impressed.I did have one surprise though. Apparently the LCD display is polarized. I found this out the first time I tried to take a vertically oriented picture while wearing sunglasses and all of a sudden the LCD went totally black on me. It took me a few seconds to realize that the LCD was still on - I just couldn't see it due to the combined effects of the polarization of my sunglasses and the polarization of the LCD display when holding the camera vertically.

I purchased Both a SX210 and a ZS7 because Amazon reviews indicated that they were both excellant cameras and I could not decide which one to buy so I now have 2 great (small) cameras. After taking neumerus pictures and video I determined that the 2 cameras were both high quality with great video. I especially liked the date stamp feature in the SX210 and I liked the instant creation of High definition (AVCHD) DVDs using the included Panasonic ZS7 software program. Otherwise the 2 cameras were equivelant and I am very happy with both.

I was so impressed with this camera that I bought a second one for my wife!There is no need to repeat other people's comments, so I will raise several new points. First, the true test of any camera is how well it photographs oil paintings. This camera is suburb. My wife is an artist and photographing her paintings is always a challenge. I followed a tip on the internet and chose Scene -- autumn leaves. This pumps up the color slightly and makes the photos close to the original. We compared the photos with the original paintings and they were mighty accurate in color reproduction. The photos are much better than what my wife obtained using professional photographers in the past.Second, the camera does well with photos partly in the shade and partly in the sun. I would say that results are very near that obtained with film SLR cameras. Most digital camera freak out under such circumstances.Third, the camera performs extremely well under low level light conditions.For the size,features and performance, this camera can't be beat.I bought spare genuine Canon batteries and I get about 230 photos per charge, which is more than adequate.

Very nice camera. MADE IN JAPAN. Feels nice with aluminum body, not cheap plasticy. Pictures in restaurant at ISO 200 & 400 (without using flash) turns out very nice, provided the subjects stay still for the shot. I bought this at $199 on a sale here, and I'm loving it.
