Отзывы о Фотоаппарат Canon PowerShot SX260 HS

The LCD screen went completely black after 10 months. I have taken excellent care of this camera. It's in the case whenever it's not being used, has never been dropped and it still malfunctioned in less than a year. I'm sending it back to Canon for a replacement. Unfortunately I'm going on a vacation in less than 2 weeks. I am so disappointed in this purchase. I wish I would have gone with the Canon S series.

This camera takes excellent pictures but is extremely delicate. I keep this camera in a pelican case, and take it out in benign conditions for shooting nature scenes. The camera functioned well through about 100 pictures, after which the lens cover fails to open and close. To take a picture, you then have to manually slide the lens cover open. This is a fatal design flaw and I would not recommend this camera.

Loveee my camera! I had a very crappy camera before this one and what a difference!! Great in low-light settings. I use it for pictures of my baby and I he moves a lotttt, I hardly get any blurry pictures. I can also take it everywhere with me because it's not too big. Easy to use.I compared lots of cameras (spent hours looking at tons of reviews) and so happy with this purchase! Would reccomend.

This is my second Canon Powershot SX 260 , first one still works flawlessly also.Best deal for the money and I chose this model over the SX280 primarily due to the review comparison.

I found it very difficult to take pictures in bright daylight looking at the screen to try and compose the shot. There has to be some way of providing a way to eliminate the bright day light reflecting on the screen so you can see what you are wanting to take a picture of. Maybe a hood or a flip up top to create a shadow over the screen similar to an umbrella at an outside table. It was impossible to see what I was shooting in bright day light.

After reading the great reviews and ordering this camera, I am surprised and disappointed at how slowly the camera takes pics. Slower than my ancient Olympus. I don't understand this and wonder if it 'just' a glitch with the particular camera I received or if it is the case with all of them. For example, I was trying to take a pic of my neighbor's kitty standing upright on its back 2 legs and even though he did this for what seemed an extended period of time and I took the photo while he was standing, by the time it 'registered" he was back on all fours and the standing shot was missed. This happened several times in a row and made me realize how slowly the shots are 'registering'. Does anybody else have the same experience? I would greatly appreciate any insights. Speed of pic taking is something important to me (with wildlife photography and such) and I hadn't read about any problems with this camera.Otherwise, pics seem to be of good quality - haven't had it long enough to properly evaluate anything else just yet.UPDATE!!There may have been a problem with the particular camera I received as I continued to have problems with it and eventually returned it with the help of Amazon. The camera was freezing for greater and greater lengths of time while taking photos (like 2 minutes, finally requiring complete shut down to be able to get the camera running again) and some of the photos came out part black and white (1/3) and part color (2/3), all taken on "Auto". I'm sure this can't be normal. I also found the pics to be very fuzzy compared to another person's pics of the same scenes taken with different camera (I would not have realized had I not compared). I'm hoping this was 'just' because the camera was defective. Will give this model another try in the hopes that the particular camera I received was the problem...

To compare the quality between canon sx260 and panasonic zs20, just drive to BestBuy parking lot and shoot the big yellow/blue 'Best Buy' logo using P mode/ISO-100, then back home to compare the zoomed two photos in the photo manager. you will be surprised with the result from sx260 so CLEARER and SHARPER than pana sz20..To compare the tele-lens, please take Moon photo at the clear night with 20x (or >20x) hand-held, you will find sx260 Moon surface photo in the semi-clear details but panasonic zs20 Moon photo is just like Sun fireball.Also, I quick compared it with nikon p310. p310 is with the big lens (1.8) for the low light. But, if you are using them for the outdoor most times, sx260 is good enough. The idea is to take both compact cameras in bag for indoor and outdoor.Update 12/7/2012However, several things were found in sx260:1) No HDR - necessary for the night show with light2) No Auto Panaromic - few of times to use it but it's perfect if sx260 has it3) ISO auto-setup 1600 in early evening - the photo looks bright in screen but acturally causes a lot of details lost. Compare with panasonic zs20, which sets up ISO 400 at the same condition.4) 2 seconds waiting between shots - you may lost some moments with so long delay. but panasonic zs20 just takes 0.6 sec.My feeling is that the body design and the clear picture of sx260 are better than panasonic zs20, but above 3 things make me think about to return this year of the model and wait for the next year of the pocket 20x camera.

This is hands down the greatest camera I have ever owned! Very reasonably priced and the pictures are crystal clear. Very easy to use!!!

I use only point & shoot cameras and mainly for travel. I have a wonderful Lumix camera with 24X zoom but at over 1.5 lbs that means a shoulder mounted carrying case --- not good for hiking or on crowded city streets. The SX260 is just what I wanted for travel --- light weight, belt loop mounted using case, wonderful images using Auto all the time. The camera gets very good reviews, even #1 in Consumer Reports for a super-zoom in its most current version --- the SX280 which adds only Wi-fi. I have a friend who is an optics expert and owns many cameras including DSLRs. When he checked out my SX260 he bought the SX280 and says it's the best small camera he has ever owned.

The SX260 is a lot of fun and (at low ISO settings) makes very sharp photos.Big surprise!This camera is a dramatic improvement over the older PowerShot A570 and A710.The 12X telephoto is very long for a point-and-shoot.But you have to use a tiny tripod or brace the camera for low-light, longshots.A real hoot is the movie mode ~ which has slow motion. The camera can shootin either 120 or 240 frames per second besides the standard 30 fps !The camera can be used completely manually. But, be on guard.The settings for Aperture and Shutter are on a separate setting from Focus... and this is a little clumsy.If you want to grab and shoot, it can be used in Program Mode.It can be adjusted to the user, and ready to go the next time its turned on.It has an Easy Mode for people who know absolutelynothing about cameras ... but simply want to take basic, good pictures.If you want to have more features and versatility than the latest smart-phone cameras,this Point & Shoot is a significant step up from them without getting intothe complex menus, weight and bulk of a large SLR." Its not the camera ... its the camera(wo)man ! "The SX260 is so light and small you're likely to bring it along !

My previous Canon camera made it simple with settings such as sunsets, people and pets, etc. This made it easier for novices like me without reading the volumes of instructions. However, on auto it does a good job without any hassle. I really like the zoom on this camera. I bought the camera just before my Mediterranean Cruise and was able to get some pretty good shots even without all the special settings.

Two major flaws are battery life and abrupt video shutdown. Even after firmware update the shutdowns occur. Less frequently but all too often. This replaced my Fuji fx30 that I would charge maybe 1x month. This eats 3 spare batteries every use. I wind up using my IPHONE and to tell the truth the photos are not all too different. I waited for the firmware upgrade and that pushed me past the return date now I am stuck and 300+ out. Poor choice,stay away.

This camera takes BEAUTIFUL photos. Even in low light the shots are crystal clear. It's a little bulkier than I would like, but it still fits in my standard camera case.

I previously *thought* I wanted to be more knowledgeable about photography so about 4 years ago I got a digital SLR, started reading, failed many times over and over to get that special photo at kids events and finally quit. I started researching point and shoot's and this one stood out in the reviews. I can't tell you HOW EASY it is to use. I read the short instruction book and within 10 minutes I had a good grasp on the primary functions I needed. The image stabilization is incredible, I was literally walking and taking pictures while at Disney last weekend and no blur, it is amazing how it corrects itself. The low light pictures are also a breeze. Zooming is also a snap no lense changes, no f stop changes just press the button and focus then snap a pic. This is the camera you want if you want quality photos without the hassle of messing with settings.

Quality of build is evident in the Canon SX260 HS. Buttons and levers appear to be solid in both function and design; audible shutter activation is crisp and professional. The ability to set the F Stop, Shutter Speed and ISO manually, other than using the Auto setting is what makes this camera very special. The CMOS sensor adds to the total package, delivering crisp, professional photos. Images taken with the long zoom lens, despite it's 20X capabilities and being hand-held, were devoid of any distortion and held a high degree of resolution.Cons: Battery life appeared notably short, perhaps due to using the zoom and GPS feature often. This has yet to be confirmed. The location of the pop-up flash is where one would normally place an index finger over the top of the camera. A conscious effort must be made to not interfere with the flash mechanism when using this camera.

This is a great little camera. It is very easy to use. Takes great pics. I highly recommend this one

Good camera for what we use it for. Battery life is long. Sometimes shutter speed seems slow, nice camera product.

This is an excellent camera and a fair price. I have used Canon cameras for years and worn a few out. This one is great, compact size, but full capability and takes super pictures.

I have lost so many good concert videos because of this camera...The sound was so messed up whenever the music got loud. I had it replaced by Canon and still ended up with the same problem.....Other than that it was a good camera. But I mainly had it for concerts. So for me this is the WORST CAMERA EVER!!!!!!

I recently upgraded (by quite a bit, may I add) from an Olympus Tough 1030W to this camera. I have been AMAZED at the picture quality. I've had people look at my pictures and ask for the name of my camera so that they can get one themselves. With 20X zoom, you can get really close to your subject, and it doesn't appear pixelated in the least. I like the ability to zoom in while filming.One annoyance with this camera is that the flash pops out of the top of it. This was actually one of the features that attracted me to the camera. However, when I've asked strangers to take a photo of myself and friends, they always seem to have their finger over the flash when it pops up unexpectedly and startles them. I never have the flash setting on but I guess they must switch it on before taking the picture?All in all.. VERY happy with this camera. Much recommended!

The zoom is great. I have amazing pictures of birds from 30 yards away that my old camera never could have taken. I'm disappointed with the micro zoom. Trying to take a picture of a tiny flower is impossible. It seems like it should focus on it, but then the autofocus will most often focus on something behind the subject. I'm an amateur photographer, so maybe it can take a good close up if you know how to work all the options, but it's been frustrating for me. But as far as zooming on stuff far away and getting a clear image, this is great! PS, I lost the wall charger, and Canon wanted $50 for a new one. Buy from Big Mike's on Amazon, $15, and a bunch of extras.

I'm very happy with this camera. It takes beautiful pictures, is the right size, the batteries last forever, the screen is huge, and it has some nice options. I did though just set it to "portrait" mode permanently, even for a lot of scenery shots, it seems to make the pictures more brilliant than the auto mode. The only complaint would be the pop-up flash being in a position where you naturally put your left index finger, I've had the camera for months now and am still not used to it and occasionally my finger is over it. I'm afraid I'm going to break the mechanism one of these days, but so far it's been perfect.

I was looking for a good camera to take shots of people and our travels. A family member used to sell cameras and kept pointing me to Canons for their color quality. I'm an amateur photographer but use a camera daily to take family and nature shots. I am LOVING the color quality of the pictures I'm getting. It's true that the flash pops out where you might place your fingers but it's NO BIG DEAL as it's easy to get used to. It is also true that when light is ideal, you'll get better videos. I'm blown away by the zoom quality even in dim light. You get a bang for your buck with this camera and I'm SO glad I chose this particular one.

I bought a Nikon a few years ago and it recently broke (a lens error, which is apparently common). I decided to try Canon since it usually has a good track record and I couldn't find another Nikon in the price range I was willing to pay (without other lens error issues).I was skeptical because I've never really liked Canon's but I thought it'd give it a try. I loved the look and feel of this camera. The flash was nice and it felt very sturdy. Unfortunately, the screen wasn't very clear and it didn't take very good pictures in low light- something I loved about my Nikon. It also has no internal memory (which was my fault for not checking before I bought it).Overall, I felt I was going backwards from the broken camera I already had. I had it out of the box long enough to take the test pictures I needed and it went back in the box- returning it tomorrow. I guess I'll just save up for the more pricey Nikon.
