Отзывы о Фотоаппарат Canon PowerShot SX260 HS

We have taken some very nice pics of our kids outdoors, but the indoor pics have disappointed us. I have an old Canon 4MP camera that's about six years old that's better indoors. The flash photos are slow, in my opinion, and the photos did not look like they came from the same camera as the pics we took of our kids playing in the backyard. I'm no camera buff and have not owned an SLR since the film days, so I don't pretend to be an expert. Just want to share my experiences as someone who bought this for an all-around-use camera. It's too heavy to put in a pocket or even for long hikes, so really I wish I had just spent some more money and bought one of the higher-end cameras. If I am not using it as a compact camera anyway, something a bit larger and more ergonomic would have been better. Plus - and this is my fault - I should have gone by Target or somewhere and felt the camera - a mistake I won't make again. I bought this because it was rated highly on Amazon and by a consumer magazine, but overall think I should have spent the extra $100 and moved up. I would suggest putting any camera in your hands before you buy it - lesson learned.If you want a camera with a nice zoom to take outdoor pics of your kids, this is a good one, but for birthday parties and other indoor uses, based on my personal experience here my suggestion is look elsewhere, as the speed and quality of the flash photos left us disappointed. We are keeping this, though, because for $200 it is still a good deal based on the zoom/outdoor capabilities - just not the all-around camera we were looking for.

I was looking for a pocketable, carryable camera with a decent zoom for the purpose of documenting bird sightings while hiking. I cannot carry a large, heavy SLR with multiple lenses on long hikes into hilly terrain (been there and done that). I wasn't expecting much from a 20X hand-held point-and-shoot, and was very pleasantly surprised to discover that even in rather difficult conditions (high wind, lousy lighting) I've gotten some surprisingly good pictures from substantial distances. They have all been adequate to identify the bird and document that we saw it. Of course I occasionally get blurred shots, but I take enough so I can just dump those.The video has also been more than adequate to record the antics of my grandchildren! I'm still experimenting with it, and will probably submit an addendum to this review somewhere down the road as I have a chance to play around with the settings.The flash sometimes "washes out" the picture, but I suspect there are ways I can compensate for that. I haven't had a chance to read the entire manual, but I was able to use the camera adequately right out of the box. The new 16 GB SanDisk Extreme card has been a great comfort! I love the camera. I believe my old Elph 1200 did a somewhat better job of balancing the exposure, but the zoom is more important to me. I can edit later. I'm now carrying it everywhere, since I have found it to be very versatile.

I used this camera for a long weekend, and so far, so good. After an extensive search, I bought it based on previous, detailed reviews, which were very helpful. I previously owned a less expensive Canon which served me well for years, so I had no trouble figuring out the new camera's settings. I didn't particularly want a camera this powerful and with so many features, but it was highly rated for great photo images, and that was #1 with me.I'm enjoying the 20x zoom more than I anticipated -- very nice. I tested the video, and it worked fine for my occasional use. I was a little concerned about the placement of the pop-up flash, but I found that this camera takes great pictures in low light, so I don't expect to use the flash that often. (I turned the auto-flash off until needed. I can train myself to hold the camera as shown in the owner's guide to avoid blocking the pop-up. No big deal for me.)The camera size is a bit longer but thinner than my previous one. It still fits in my pocket, which was a must-have feature for me. I miss the viewfinder. I was taking one picture in bright sunshine, and I could not see if I had the shot I wanted or not. Oh well . . . it appears none of the cameras in this class has the viewfinder.I bought two SanDisk Extreme 32 GB SDHC Class 10 UHS-1 Flash Memory Card 45MB/s SDSDX-032G-AFFP, as recommended. They worked great! I'm not sure if this camera would work as well with a lesser card. Be sure to order the card in the RETAIL (original) packaging, rather than in the 'Frustration Free' packaging. Per other reviews, there appears to be a problem with counterfeit cards if you don't get it in the original, hard plastic wrapping. I ordered two of the RETAIL cards, and my order came with only one card. That's the first time an Amazon order hasn't included everything I ordered (which seemed a little suspicious), but Amazon quickly sent me another one.

I have been using Canon point and shoot cameras for about 10 years and I have always been very satisfied. This is a great camera with a lot of features in a small package. I flip around the settings all the time and since the software is relatively the same from camera to camera and generation to generation, the learning curve is small.A few things to the Canon folks if they read these reviews. The program settings have changed drastically over the past 3 generations of the SX lines. They have implemented dedicated modes for things that I don't believe most folks would ever use. I believe that many of these modes should be buried somewhere else. Things like Movie Digest, Super Vivid, and Movie Mode should be available in the SCN mode. And they removed things like Portrait, Landscape, Kids & Pets which I used frequently.I would love to see Canon put a dedicated Low Light mode on the dial instead of Movie Digest or Super Vivid. I find myself requiring the SCN/Low Light option very often at my kids' school functions where I am too far for the flash to be effective, but not enough ambient light to use Auto or other setting. For my wife, I need to talk her through getting the SCN/Low Light option set.Overall the camera is a great option for both pictures and video. The HD video that I get is fantastic and I couldn't be happier. It's a little bigger than the other point & shoots, but that's expected with a 20x zoom (compared to a smaller 5x zoom). It's great for recording my kids' events from a distance.

The recharge for the flash was just way to slow for what I wanted. The image quality for well lit photos was great.

Bought this camera after my Kodak z612 started acting up; it was more than 5 yrs old. Was really disappointed that Kodak was done with cameras as I loved it. As a replacement I first bought a Nikon L810 because it was similar style to my Kodak but had an even bigger zoom and had pretty good reviews. It was either defective or just a terrible camera because nothing would focus and there was blur in almost every picture.Amazon was great about returning it but I still had to find a new camera. I went to Best Buy so I could actually try some out and see them first hand. This one was on sale for $199 and everyone was checking it out. I was a little hesitant because of the smaller size than my Kodak but as soon as I picked it up I was impressed. The zoom is much larger than my Kodak even with the smaller size. The options are great and so many to choose from. The video just requires a quick click of a button, no switching settings like my Kodak. No blur and good, easy focus. I am now loving the smaller size since it is much easier to tote around but still has an amazing 20x zoom! Most smaller cameras only have a 5x zoom. The image stabilization works great. That was another concern about getting a smaller camera, with less to hold onto I was worried that there would be too much shaking especially with the full zoom. Amazingly, this has not been a problem. I took pics of my kids at the bottom of the sledding hill, zoomed further than the optical zoom and they turned out crisp and clear. So did the video. Speaking of the video, other reviewers mentioned a high pitch noise. I only noticed any kind of background noise while zooming in and out and it wasn't that loud. That seems to be the biggest and almost only complaint about this camera and I am soooo happy I didn't let it get in the way of deciding on this camera! Love it!

I bought this for my girlfriend for christmas. And ever since she got it, shes loved it. Im more of a Nikon fan, but she had a Canon before this one so I stuck with what she liked. Her last one was a very small pocket sized one (I dont know the model, i believe a powershot as well), so she first didnt like the slightly bigger size. I always noticed she was never satisfied with photos are longer distances, so I justified the bigger size with getting a longer zoom. Her last camera only did 5x optical zoom, and she hasnt complained about this ones 20x optical zoom. But I still think its extremely pocketable.Image quality is superb. We went to Disneyland one day and took hundreds of photos, during day and night. Super clean, clear, and vivid photos during the day. Some of the effects are neat too. Naturally night photos werent as good, but still were pretty damn great photos. The image stabilization and high sensitivity sensor really makes a difference! The presets for night, day, macro etc. all worked wonderfully as well. She is always very happy when she uses it.Photography is a small hobby of mine, so I can be a bit critical, but this camera has really impressed me. For a point-and-shoot, you cant go wrong. For my girlfriend, who just wants it to be easy and simple but knows the difference between a good and a bad photo, shes extremely happy.Pros :Easy to useGreat photo quality, day and nightI think its very pocketableGreat zoomCons:Maybe just ours didnt get it, but the strap you attach to the camera and then to your wrist, didnt come with the little slider thing that you use to tighten it. It can easily slip off your wrist without it. But i wont knock off any ratings for that.Overall, great buy. You wont regret it.

One word. Amazing.Here are the things I like most about it:*Canon QUALITY is always amazing*Fits in your POCKET*The 20x Optical Zoom gets you REALLY REALLY close to the action.*Fully zoomed out has a better 'landscape' lens than other cameras.*Full HD allows you to record top quality videos (make sure you have a big SD card though)*Fully Manual or Fully Automatic allows you to either let the camera do the work, or have fine control over all camera settings (aperture, shutter speed, focus, exposure, etc)*One of the best VALUED cameras (best features for lowest cost)If you want amazing quality pictures with a huge zoom lens that offers the best value, this is the one to get.One final note: Don't compare this camera, or any non-DLSR camera to a DSLR. If you want the best pictures possible, a DSLR will always be superior. However, in my case I find that the camera that you carry with you all the time, is the one that you get the best pictures with. I am the type that wouldn't want to lug around a heavy camera with multiple lens etc. When I travel, I throw this camera in my cargo shorts pockets and I ALWAYS have it with me.PURCHASE NOTES: I purchased this for Xmas 2012 for $200.

I always remember a professional photographer telling me that anybody who is not a professional photographer should always invest in buying a good camera. The reason being, a professional photographer could use almost any camera to take a good picture; the non-professional needs the help of the camera. After reviewing the pics taken by a friend and complimenting her on her skill she referred me to the Canon Powershot SX260. Of course I googled the reviews and immediately bought it as a birthday gift for my daughter who travels a lot and was always complaining about her "messed-up" pics. She LOVES her Canon Powershot SX260!

With the 20X zoom, was a worthy replacement to my smaller and light version of the Canon small camera. The only problem was getting use to the flash popping up when needed, since I place my left index finger on the camera at that point. Had the flash been fixed/built into the front of the camera, would have given five stars.

I have been using a larger Canon 7D for years and have sworn by Canon ever since. This camera was a present for my wife. It has the newer Digic 5 (my 7D has dual 4's) and seems to do a pretty darn good job! The SX260 HS has a built in GPS and I'd recommend turning the logger function off if you don't want to drain your battery. If left on, the camera will continue to keep a track of your location even though the camera itself is 'off.' When the tracker is off, the GPS will continue to set the EXIF data in your pictures with the current GPS location & time. The logger just keeps track of where you have been which may be useful if you are kayaking, hiking, biking etc. It can also tag people's faces that it recognizes. I have not found this to work very well but I may just need to add people's faces more often. One thing I have realized is it may be useful to have people smiling when you are adding to its recognition database since that is the way they look (hopefully) when you are taking their picture.03/25/2013 Update: One neat feature I neglected to mention was this camera can be set to update its internal clock whenever it can get a GPS lock. This feature is especially useful after a daylight savings time change and you change all the clocks in the house but forget to set your camera's clock This camera does a pretty fair job in low light situations. One thing to be careful of is how you hold the camera as the flash will pop up (as needed) right where your left index finger usually goes while steadying the camera. The 20X optical Zoom is awesome especially for a small point and shoot that fits in your pocket! It's nice to have this reach without having to swap lenses when you need to get a quick shot!

Love this Canon PowerShot. I've had it several months & it take beautiful photo's. The magnifying lens took great, clear, closeups this winter of ice on the trees as well as single frozen berries.

This purchase was an exact replacement camera for the one my wife broke after dropping it eight times on vacation. The dropped camera still works, takes nice sharp pictures but the touch screen doesn't work very well. It is a great camera, takes nice pictures, and my wife likes its compact size and amazing zoom range.

I bought this after seeing a friend use hers to take some great pics. it has an amazingly long and clear zoom, is pretty quick in low light conditions, and is fast to process and shut down. I really LOVE this camera!

This camera has met all of our expectations and some. Will probably purchase the new version of this camera when it comes out

If you want a beautiful picture of the moon using a small hand-held camera, this camera is for you. It takes nice photos but have not mastered all it can do yet so some pictures are not as great as they probably would be otherwise. It is great as a point and shoot. It takes wonderful close up photos. I do not find the flower setting works well, works better as point and shoot. I have trouble with moving object (sports) but it takes great shots when the car is moving of landscapes. I have taken awesome photos of birds in trees -- things that are not close. It does well of animals too. I love the camera, just wish I'd get around to reading the book!!

Fantastic camera. Took it on our mission trip- the 80 digital zoom pics came out pretty good with expected grain. Basically it is a Fully functional DSL in a point and shoot package. It did nearly everything I wanted it to do. Will post sample when I get time

I would definitely recommend this camera having used it since last spring when I bought it. I love the long zoom for nature and sports photography. Close up shots turn out great, too. The colors are true to life. The auto mode is useful for most of the shots I take and it is very easy to use. I also like the mode where it takes multiple shots every second because this is great for sports photography. I bought an extra battery so I can swap out the exhausted one for a fresh one while I am out taking pictures.

Very satisfied with this camera. Amongst the best that you can get at this price point in the 'point and shoot' category.

Today I ran the Manuals Disk EUR1126.0 and read that I was supposed to receive two booklets, "warranty system" and "getting started." NOT so. How do I go about acquiring these? Otherwise, everything seems to be there and I'm getting a grad student to help me ..... this camera is pretty high tech for a senior citizen!~Anne JohnsonPotsdam, NY

This camera takes great pictures. I have no complaint in that department. She is really slow on focus and sequence shots, forget it. The zoom is great, I use it at times just to read something at a great distance.One big Con....the pop-up flash. I knew better, it almost got me several times, but this once, and once is enough, I didn't take the time to put the strap on my wrist to snap a picture in Bergen Norway in broad day, the flash popped up, next thing I knew it was out of my hand. I tried to catch it, but it tumbled on the cobble stones. Nicked here and there but here's the damage, a third of the viewer now is useless. believe it or not, as far as I know, that is only damage, enough to make me sick, and my purchase price more or less down the drain. Panasonic was really my first choice, price steered me to the Canon. Did I ever make a mistake.

Bought the camera in anticipation of the birth of our new grandson. The camera and the baby both arrived on time and in good working condition. Thus far, neither the camera nor the baby have disappointed. Excellent, versatile camera with more features than I've had the opportunity to explore. The quality of the still pics and videos have been routinely excellent. The zoom is very powerful. Dim light imaging hasn't proven to be much of a problem. The ergonomics of the camera seem fine for me. The new mom and dad are in the process of acquainting themselves with the ergonomics of their newborn.

Great all around camera with nice features that produce great photos. The 20x zoom is outstanding and provide very good pictures from long distances. The only down side is the flash position, it pops up where most people hold the camera, but I've gotten use to it and I’ve changed the way I hold the camera. I'm glad I purchased this camera.WilliamBakersfield, Ca.

Love this camera. Great zoom and great pictures. Had an older Canon powershot that broke so decided on this one after reading reviews. Still figuring out how everything works on it but love it so far. Only thing I did not like was that it did not come with a user manual booklet. It comes with a cd of the user manual. However, I like the booklet so I am not left staring at a computer screen while trying to figure the camera out. But I called Canon and they are printing one out and mailing it to me. So problem solved. Great Camera!!!
