Отзывы о Фотоаппарат Canon PowerShot SX260 HS

I have owned serveral Canon cameras and I must say, this is not my favorite! The battery life is short and turning it on is not just a push of the button. It is very annoying to have to press the "on" button two or three times. Also, when on auto focus, some photos still come out fuzzy. I dont reccommend this model of Canon.

I have an older Nikon Coolpix, the quality is ok but I wanted a newer digital camera that would do nice video.Something that was user freindly that gave me a choice of getting decent video of the grandkids without having to buy a camcorder.I get great pictures without to much hassle and picture quality is very good.Sure this camera has its blurry pix or shakey video but what camera doesnt, allot of this is sometimes user error and this camera has plenty of techy settings to address all sorts of scernario's. This is'nt your highend camera but it's affordable and still gives quality pictures and video.This camera makes it simple to view and retrieve video and pictures. Right after I video my granddaughter I can hook it to the TV using a mini HDMI to HDMI and wala we can watch them seconds after shooting. Being at a family function and plugging this in looking at pictures and video with everyone is a snap!If I need to extract pix or video I just pop out the (not included) SD card and slide it into the laptop, open the folder without any software and organize them. There is also software that comes with the camera but I really havnt used it yet.I'm no camera expert, but all the controls are user freindly, the interface on-screen is easy to go through and the modes for shooting are worthey of some nice pictures.I have no problem with the flash location on top and the zoom is very nice and clear.Note: There is no sound during video playback from the camera unless I'm missing something in a menu setting.This digital camera is a good choice with all the bells and whistles for the camera techy also.If your looking for a camera case thats compact and protects your purchase you might consider Case Logic DCB-302 Compact Case for Camera - Black

I basically chose this camera because am partial towards canon products. Now I like them small, light and point and shoot which is practical for travelling. If I am not running out of time to study its other features, I will study its manual mode. I also chose to buy this because of its 25mm wide angle lens and its its high telephoto capacity. On top of that it is capable of making 30 minute movies. I noted that I can also put together different still pictures to make a video. It is easy to operate, at least the auto smart mode because I have had a canon powershot before. I may have to review my photography lessons though on exposure, etc to be able to do better on how to operate the manual mode. The color gray is perfect too to my taste. I noted too the microphone in making a movie to catch the sounds. I love my new camera and it takes sharp pictures. Can't wait to use it at the cruise although tonight we will have picture-taking at my bf's house. I only got to spend a few hours to tinker with the camera and get myself familiarized with it relatively.

I have owned many brands of point-and-shoot cameras and I think this one is probably my favorite so far as far as picture quality and ease of use. You can't beat the 20x zoom of this camera that fits easily into the back pocket of your jeans. I have a Canon DSLR as well, and the quality of photos from this little point-and-shoot are very comparable to the DSLR.

I thoroughly enjoy using this little camera. I have two larger bridge cameras that I use when I know that I'm going out to photograph specific things. I use this camera when I'm going for casual walks. I do a lot of walking on the Gettysburg battlefield for exercise. I enjoy using this camera when I am walking because of the size of the camera. The zoom is fantastic for such a small camera. I primarly use the manual exposure feature and am able to get some really quality photos using this method, from close up of wildflowers to zoom photos of birds that I see on the battlefield.I have purchased two spare batteries for this camera. I have found that the low battery indicator doesn't accurately show a progression from fully charged to almost discharged. With the spare batteries I am never out of power.The only con that I see is that the rotating ring that is used to change ISO or shutter speed is rather sensative and I find myself constanly accessing other features that I am not intending to change or use. A light touch is required when rotating this ring. I have been using this camera for over a month now and have gotten some really quality photos. The images are crisp and rich in color. I don't use the auto settings because often the resulting images tend to be a little over exposed. This I find is normal though with the auto setting on most cameras. I haven't used the video feature at all since I have a high definition camcorder.I am thoroughly satisfied with this camera and find that it meets my needs as an avid amateur photographer. I am very particular about the quality of the images that I capture. This camera meets all of my expectations.

Yes, this is a decent camera, and yes the flash is in a terrible location (mine broke after a few months because it would always try to raise when my finger was in that spot), but it's important to know that for all its benefits, this camera (like other Canons) does NOT have an exposure button you can use. You can take manual control (in which you set aperture and shutter speed independently--and I do that on an unfortunately regular basis because of the lack of an exposure control), but it would be really, really nice to have.Mine broke today after about a year of owning it, and it looks like this is still by-far the best rated travel zoom camera out there. But I just can't make myself buy another one. I'm happy to see it gone, and thought I'd share in case anyone else out there likes tweaking exposure on their pictures a bit without jumping all the way into "manual" mode.

Purchased this back on Apr 1 for 2 week trip to New Zealand & Australia. I currently own a Minolta Maxxum 5D DSLR 6.1 MP with all the lens to go with it, but as we were traveling light I wanted to cut down on the 20-30 lbs. of camera gear I normally travel with. As my longest lens is a 75-300 mm lens (APS-C equivalent 112-450 MM), I wanted a replacement camera with at least that long of a focal length. I also wanted something that could replace my JVC camcorder as well. As my wife already owned a Canon PowerShot SD850is I was familiar with their build and quality. I found the camera easy to use and enjoyed not having to be changing lens every time I wanted to zoom in or out on a subject. I am not a professional photographer so can not qualitatively report on the quality of my pictures, but I feel they are as good as any I have taken with my Maxxum 5D or previously to that the Minolta 35 mm SLR I still own. The video was extremely good as well. The only complaint I have is the placement of the flash. It is on top of the camera where my left hand index finger would sit, thus would hit my finger and not extract fully every time I needed the flash. It would also be nice if the flash could stay on while video taping in low light.If you are looking for a moderately priced camera with a long focal length and video recording capabilities then this can work for you.

Great little camera! I did a lot of research before purchasing and I had the previous model to this one and it still works! This one has a better zoom and better lens quality. It's still a point and shoot but it's a good all around camera that's light and easy to use. The GPS feature is nice too!

I was initially so excited to get this camera and was impressed with the pictures taken with this camera.On a recent vacation, I noticed the lens covers did not automatically completely open and if I wasn't careful I'd get a curtains appearance to my pictures. This problem did not occur every time. But WORSE, I discovered too late that the automatic lens covers DID NOT CLOSE COMPLETELY (again sporadically) and the lens is NOW SCRATCHED!!! In the 30+ years of camera ownership I have never scratched a lens!!!I fault Canon on this design flaw and the workmanship (or lack thereof) that will either result in an expensive repair or the purchase of a completely different camera (AND NOT A CANON)

I would have given this camera 5 stars, but the audio was really quite bad - especially in a loud environment like a concert or very crowded tourist area. Way WAY worse than my old Sony Cybershot (which I got 4 years ago). It's even worse that my phone's audio recording. BUT the picture quality has been AMAZING and the 1080p video recording looks SO great and crisp.

Took pics over the holidays and have some questions/ concerns - *1) bad flash location/ poor camera design feature: because of the camera's narrow profile, it is hard to hold the camera with the left hand when the flash pops up in the upper left hand corner of this camera, contributes to undesireable camera shaking 2) frequently the message "busy" came up the view finder window- what is this about? 3) disappointed with short lithium battery life, took inside pics for maybe 2 hrs tops before I had to replace with backup battery *4) lack of clear directions on how to delete pics, or too many steps to take, not a user friendly feature > have any suggestions? plan to watch CD for additional tipsThanks. Would appreciate constructive feedback to enhance my overall satisfaction with my recent purchase of this camera.

Striking a near-perfect balance between grit and sensationalism, it takes viewers through a world marked by violence, double-dealing, and racial division, with an emphasis on the ambiguous morality and personal and familial baggage that come with a life lived between the straight world and the criminal one. The machinations of the characters and the twists of the plot are almost operatic, but the show remains rooted in the harsh realities of gangland.Comment

I was debating between this model and the SX280 and this one had better reviews, so I opted for the SX260. I really hated it, so after a couple of days I sent it back. First of all, the flash IS totally in the wrong place. It kept popping up under my finger. Secondly, the battery power was AWFUL. And thirdly, there are barely any preset settings, like the sports setting that enables you to capture movement. When something is moving, I don't have time to mess around with manual controls and on the regular automatic setting I kept getting blurry shots. I am fan of Canon cameras (loved the G series and I use the T2i Rebel for regular shooting), but this was a big disappointment.

I'm very happy with my XS 260, but that doesn't mean it couldn't be better.PROS:1. I like the 20x optical zoom. When you're travelling, it's surprising how much being able to zoom in can help.2. The camera turns on quite quickly. Much faster than my previous Sony. The 1.5 second delay is about how long it takes you to raise it up to frame the shot. Very good.3. I haven't used it yet, but single-button video recording is going to come in VERY handy. Nothing worse than fumbling instead of recording.4. There seem to be a LOT of manual modes. They are of somewhat limited use when the total F-stop range is quite small.CONS:1. The pop-up flash pops up right under your left hand, with no real warning. And it doesn't pop down when you no longer need it. It just stays in the way.2. The GPS, when set to "always on" doesn't always seem to pick up a location. Mine never found a GPS signal after 2 hours wandering around Detroit airport. And after about 2 days of GPS tracking, the newly charged new battery was dead.3. Scene selection is still a royal pain. It's hard to find the selections, hard to choose one, and hard to know what will happen when you do. The descriptions are only vaguely related to what you really want. More work required here.4. The "spinner" wheel around the OK button is a little too small and flat for my thick fingers. It's VERY hard to rotate the wheel without pressing one of the five buttons around and inside of it. At least for me. I'm starting to think a touch-screen would be better.

The quality of the pictures taken with this camera is very good, my only complaint is about the flash: first, it is located right where you place your finger when holding the camera, so as many other users have complained, it often prevents the flash from coming out, and when this happens you have turn off the camera and then back on to "reset" it, also, the flash comes often when is not needed, even with the flash set to be "off". Also, for a camera like this, it lacks of an easy way to do panoramic photos (even an iPhone camera can easily do that), which is quite disappointing. However, altogether, is a solid camera and it takes good pictures, even when zooming in. I will continue to purchase Canon cameras.

For a pocket camera these are spectacular. I have owned many camera systems. But who wants to carry around pro camera day to day!!!?? Not me, so I was missing a million shots. When I went to Europe, I brought 2!!! Had them mounted on both hips. I took 4700 shots. 99% were good to go ( no focus or exposure issues ). I did huge panoramas and stitched them together later. FAN TASTIC!! Oh... If I had dropped one in the water, I wouldn't have committed suicide. Glad I left my pro camera home. It is a point and shoot, but a great one. Point and shoots have their limitations, I just worked around them. If you are really into photography, upload the CHDK to push this thing far beyond the limits.I AM PLEASED

My very old Canon still takes great pictures but it is so slow and inconvenient. I read the reviews and recommendations here and ordered four different models before I decided to choose the PowerShot SX260. The 280 was great but has battery problems and I'm not technical enough to deal with downloaded fixes. I had a little trouble downloading the software when my camera was connected to the download but when I detached it the download went forward and the computer reads my camera so it's great. The pictures are beautiful. I use auto most of the time, but the capabilities of the 260 are varied so I'm sure I'll be using it for experimenting and learning. This is a 5-star camera.

As a non techie I love the ease of use as well as the versitility provided. Only complaint is the need to always carrry a second fully charge battery as it uses them up quickly.

Very unhappy with it. Bought it less than a year ago to replace the previous Cannon I had. I was happy with my previous one and bought this one because I wanted better pictures in lowlight and a better zoom.Poor design: the flash comes up right where everyone tries to hold the camera. So everyone who tries to take a photo with the camera nearly drops it when the flash tries to come up under their fingers. I'm actually surprised the flash hasn't broken yet.A few months after purchasing the battery does not hold power well. My last Cannon camera barely needed charging except at the end of a picture heavy day. This one runs out of battery life even after only used a few times.Also just recently it's stopped downloading pictures to my lap top. The camera says there's a "communication error".I am really annoyed. I should ahve stuck with my last Cannon.

Pros:This is a nice point-and-shoot. It has the potential to take amazing photos. The clarity can be excellent at times, and the color pops. I like that it has manual/aperture/shutter priority options. It allows for more creativity. I'm still working on discovering every nook and cranny in the settings but there seems to be a wide variety. I had fun playing around with the slow motion video setting. I like that the camera came with a cord to hook up to the computer via USB. That is extremely helpful and it works fast. The LCD screen is nice and large and it's very bright (of course you can change how bright you want it). My Cybershot memory stick Pro duo doesn't fit into the Canon. However, if you have a micro-sd card with an adapter, it fits right into the Canon and works perfectly. I'm glad I discovered that because I didn't want to go out and buy another memory card. I spent too much money as it is.Cons:All of these cons are superficial. Everything is in perfect condition, these are just my observations and preferences.The flash is kind of annoying at times. I'm used to having my finger where it pops up. I also find that the autofocus is a bit slow. Again, I'm still figuring things out, but it seems that it doesn't always focus on what you want it to. I've handed the camera over to friends to take a photo and sometimes it will just come out blurry. This camera is also heavy. I compared it to my Sony Cybershot and the Canon is probably about 1.5x heavier. Not a great addition to my already heavy hand-bag. The power button is in a weird spot. It should be on the opposite side of the shutter button. I've had friends try to take a picture and shut the camera off. It's just an odd spot for the power button. The camera beeps and noises are quite annoying, so I just shut them off.Overall, I'd say this is a great camera. With a few tweaks here and there, it would be an amazing camera.

Everything looks great except my camera came with a power cord for the charger that belongs in the UK. I'm in CO and it is doing me no good here. I have contacted the seller @ support@electronicsbasket.com, but haven't heard anything yet. I'll change my review if I hear from them. I will wait a couple more days and then return the thing. Trying to avoid that if I could just have the proper cord sent to me.

Compact and good camera. I haven't used it a whole lot to form an opinion but I like what I see from a point and shoot camera. I still don't know how to activate the GPS which I thought it would be a great tool. I looked at the instruction manual but couldn't find it. again, If someone out there knows how to activate and deactivate the GPS tool, let me know. Also, I couldn't find an option to set the time by am or pm all I got for time was hour 20.00 instead of 8:00 PM etc..; so military time only. I may be not be doing something right!

I broke my Nikon D60 DSLR and then I broke my Sony Cyber-shot DSC-WX50 16.2 MP Digital Camera with 5x Optical Zoom and 2.7-inch LCD (Black) (2012 Model) and so I set out to find the best of both worlds in one camera. After reading all the raving reviews, viewing countless sample photos, and researching the competing cameras, I went to Best Buy and purchased the SX260.I'm disappointed but I want to love this camera really bad because it has everything I was looking for, or so I thought: great optical zoom, great image quality and stunning colors, black and white shooting mode, compact point-and-shoot style.So why am I disappointed? Because of the image quality. Seriously I'm feeling a bit alone in my opinion after reading through the other reviews to see if I'm loosing my mind but to me the image quality is well below standard. Low light, bright light, optimal light, any setting, flash or no-flash, the images seem to be blurry. Not blurry like going without your glasses blurry but not sharp, crisp. For example a shot with my Sony with 5X zoom was so clear I could zoom in and crop and still keep amazing detail. When I took it to New York City I took some amazing shots at night from the Empire State Building without a tripod, just resting it on the concrete wall. With the Canon, night time shots of the city are near impossible and forget zooming in on any shot regardless of the lighting. Once you zoom in you'll see distortion, smoothing, dull images.In summary, this Canon is well built, easy to use and user friendly. Loaded with features and shooting modes. The 80X digital zoom is very impressive and the built in image stabilization works surprisingly well. The image quality is left to the eye of the beholder and to me it significantly lacks, especially for the price of this camera. Video quality is decent to great depending on lighting but expect to get a lot of inner mechanical noise feedback. I think I am going to sacrifice the optical zoom and find another camera.

Not the most user-friendly camera we have owned (and we have owned about 7 or 8 in the past few years), but it does the trick. If you are used to using two hands to hold the camera...which I think most people are, this camera gets a little annoying because if you have your left hand in the upper right corner and you want to use the flash it won't come up. So you have to turn the camera all the way off and then turn it on again to have it re-boot. That gets a little annoying. It's not a bad camera, but for the price I was expecting something a little easier to use.
