Отзывы о Фотоаппарат Canon PowerShot SX260 HS

I've only had the SX260 for a short time but so far I'm very satisfied. I am an amateur photographer (vacations, grandkids) but I am also fussy about the quality of my photos. I've been taking many photos before our upcoming trip to Alaska. Even on Auto every image has been sharp with good colors. I have not found the flash to be a problem. I'm especially satisfied with the zoom. I have not had even one blurry photo with the zoom at 20X. I bought the store model at Best Buy since they were out of the SX260 and didn't plan to get any more in. I ended up paying $119 for the camera! The battery even fit into my old Canon charger so now I have two chargers. The CD that came with the camera messed up my iMac so I uninstalled it (with Canon tech help over the phone) and now my photos go automatically into my iPhoto program. I'm very happy with my purchase.

I hate this camera. Truly, truly hate it. I bought it to replace my last Canon Powershot. Pretty sure my last four cameras have been Canon Powershots....each an upgrade over the last and I've always been super happy with them. I don't even look at another brand. I picked this one, specifically because of the ridiculously long zoom and image stabilization. Outside, in bright sunlight, under optimal conditions, standing perfectly still? It take a passable picture, and the zoom is nice. Anywhere else, it's just awful. Low light pictures are horrible. Focus is awful. If your subject is moving at all, the picture is blurry. Forget about taking pictures of kids or animals, not going to happen. Takes forever to respond. I seriously haven't found anything that I like about it. I'm not a photographer. I take most of my pictures on the "Auto" or "Easy" setting. I've always been extremely happy with my Powershots...but not this one. I wish I would have returned it when I had the chance, but the first set of pictures I took with it (Jazz Fest in New Orleans) were predominantly taken outside in daylight, so I thought it was ok. After that, I thought maybe I just needed to "get used" to a new camera. Boy was I wrong.

I've been using a Nikon cool pix for 10 years or more as a convenient pocket sized camera to take with me anywhere when I feel the slr is too heavy. The picture quality was great. But this year I was playing with my friend's long zoom Panasonic and decided I needed to get something new. After much research I chose this one as the picture quality/price/size ratio seemed good. It really takes great pics. The colors are good and the zoom is amazing.

Love love love this camera! Takes great pics and the zoom is great! ITs a bit big but hey what ya gonna do lol

Bought this camera for an overseas trip and, with a few easy adjustments in a photo editing program to compensate for light issues, the photos were every bit as good as those taken by the other people in our group who had expensive cameras with big lenses and sunshades. Very easy to use and the controls and settings are pretty much self-explanatory. Only complaint is that the software that came with the camera was useless and out of date/incompatible with my computer. I simply downloaded a PDF of the instruction book and that made the CD even more useless, since the camera can be used with any photo program.

I'm no professional photographer, but as an artist I like to play around a little. I love my Canon DSLR (Rebel XS) but it's too heavy to lug around, and I never seem to have it with me when the perfect shot opportunity pops up. On the other end of the spectrum, phone camera quality continues to be subpar. This is the perfect go-between, as it's small enough to carry in my purse at all times but has great zoom and manual focus and aperture/film speed settings like my DSLR.Took it for a spin in the backyard today, and while it's (of course) not going to give me DSLR-quality photos, I got some amazing close-ups of individual flowers (and even flower petals) and some great quick-speed shots of my two dogs (down to being able to see the individual hairs in their fur!). So very pleased...not to mention the green color makes me happy. I always go with Canon, and I am never disappointed. (Did I mention this thing is FAST???)

the sx260 is a great point-and-shoot camera, pic quality is terrific and so is the battery life, I recommend it to everyoneI've also been using the video and that is good too (visually and sound wise)

After long time since my first purchase of Sony DSC camera, I had to buy an another phone and I was reviewing a lot of cameras.The best things you will like about this camera are:1. Battery - Almost I had shot 200 photos to get the battery drain completely2. Picture quality is also good (Not the best) compared to my previous Sony DSC camera3. Even in the Zoom, it does take decent photos4. Even in the less light, I could take decent quality pictures5. Good price6. The speed it writes to Memory Card is also decent (I bought "SanDisk Extreme 32 GB SDHC Class 10 UHS-1 Flash Memory Card 45MB/s" along with this)The most important thing, "my wife likes it" :) ... Ufff .. that's a big relief.So far, so good. I have been using this since almost a month and will get back if I get to know something more.

I was thinking this would be about the size and weight of the PowerShot Elph cameras I've been using, but it's much larger and heavier. It will fit in your pocket, but not comfortably. Make sure you have a good belt because the weight of the camera will make your pants sag :) For that reason, I might not travel or hike with it. So if you like the size of the Elph, this camera might not be for you.Having said that, this is a great camera. After seeing what its amazing lens is capable of, I realize that it was unreasonable to think that it would be any smaller or lighter. The range of the lens really is unbelievable, and the depth of field almost puts it in SLR territory. It takes very high quality photos, is easy to use, and the price is right.One thing I wish were different is the pop-up flash. It's located inconveniently and is just annoying in general. I don't know why they didn't just embed it in the face of the camera, like with the Elphs.

I ordered this camera after a long research. I was undecided between Canon PowerShot SX260 and the Sony Cyber-shot DSC-HX20V. I found this camera on sale on Black Friday, ordered it online and it arrived on my door the next day! The fastest delivery I have ever had - great job Amazon!For the camera itself, I am still exploring all the functions. One feature that was attractive to me based on the reviews I read is its versatility in manual settings, in addition to automatic or pre-set functions. I have not explored that part much yet, but I have tested and have been enjoying a few tricks that this camera has. I like pre-set effects such as the fish-eye, miniature, vivid colours and night-shots. I think its night pictures are particularly good.To be honest, initially I was gravitating towards the Sony camera but bought this because of the good price. But I do think they are more or less the same, so the more difference in the price, the more reasons to go with Canon. For anyone in the same dilemma, I would not go for Sony Cyber-shot if it is more than $30-40 more expensive.Overall, I am very pleased with my choice, I think it is great value for money and very versatile. The 20x zoom is also amazing. I might update my review when I explore details that I might have not discovered yet.

Great camera. I took it on a 16 day trip to Israel and took 100-200 pictures a day. Image quality is great and the lens is outstanding. You can really get close in on things far away. It has two pesky features that would keep me from buying it, just be aware. First, the battery life indicator seems misleading. It seems to go from full, full, full, full and then to empty with little in the middle. This only bit me one day when I had not charged it overnight (because the indicator looked full still after a day of use) and then pretty soon into the day the battery ran out of juice. The other thing is that the on/off button is right next to the shutter button. They are different shapes, but on more than one occasion I went to take a picture and turned off the camera. Not ideal, but I would still buy it anyway.

I did a lot of research to replace my Panasonic Lumix DMC TZ3 (screen died) and this Canon Powershot SX260 HS is simply fantastic.The colour of the pics look natural, look good at high ISO and keeps the natural colour with the flash. There are none of those flash-bleached washed-out colours and best of all it adjusts itself to distance. I took some close up pics with flash and they still came out great. It takes a while to get used to the position of the flash (as you find your hand in the way) but I loved that it pops up automatically. I disliked that on the Nikon I had to put the flash up manually.I have had very few blurry pics and those were, were hand held at max zoom, and as everyone would know, there are few cameras that can manage that without a tripod. However, I got many good pics too at max x20 zoom handheld too; I just had to be careful.It is fast from start up and between pics are taken. I had no problem catching my feisty kitten running around or my gorgeous but hyper-energetic niece.The video quality is also great. There were some negative reviews about a high-pitched noise during playback which made me apprehensive about buying this model. I am pleased to say that it was not warranted. The picture is crystal clear with great sound on the recording. I heard none of the whiny sound there had been some reviewers had noted.Perhaps this camera seems so amazing to me because technology has moved on a lot in a few years, since my last camera purchase. However, I also tried the Sony and latest Panasonic equivalent models in store but they didn't stand up to this model.Overall, this is a great camera and I would highly recommend it to anyone.

I'm lucky. I dropped my 3 year old Canon camera in San Miguel de Allende. Luckily, I ordered the Power Shot SX260 HS 12.1. Why? Because my friend had one and she was going to visit me. I used Amazon to order the camera and ship it for $11.00 to SC. My friend brought it into Mexico and together, the 2 of us took a photography class from Robert de Gast - a former National Geographic photographer (he's now in his 70s). Together we learned the settings. Because of Robert's 2 hour class, I am having wonderful success with this camera.

I purchased this camera eight months ago and have taken thousands of pictures on it. I have owned Canons and Nikons in the past, and this is, by far, my favorite. It is easy to use and takes excellent pictures. My son dropped it today on the ground and the lens is now stuck. I am very disappointed that it could not take the "drop" on the ground; however, I am very pleased with its performance. I will probably decide to purchase the same model again.

If you are looking for a point and shoot camera, then this is a camera to consider. The thing I love about this is the amazing wide angle lens. You can take some beautiful images. Granted the image quality at night time is not great, I guess thats what you get for a point and shoot. The overall image quality is great. Good color and saturation. I would say its bit on the softer side when you see for sharpness and also the noise is a bit more compared to nikon point and shoot. 20x zoom comes in handy. The thing that I love the most about this camera is the super awesome wide angle of view. Great for travel, landscape photography during day time. May not be good for portraits and night photography.

There's something loose inside. I can hear it when I move the camera. It's got great zoom. It's ok in low light.

We bought this camera for a 2 week trip in Italy. It was great for that. Lightweight and compact, turned on really quickly so I didn't miss any shots. The battery lasted a long time too. The zoom was great. Controls and display are easy and clear.

Perfect size. Easy to use. It can zoom in on far-away subjects and take nice, clear photos. It is easy to manage the pictures after they are taken.

I bought this camera as a replacement for my Canon Power Short 500. I love this camera as it has 1080P mode video capture which is really good. The pictures are sharp and excellent color rendition. The only complaint I have with the camera is it has too many options. It will take a while to understand all the options and use them.

I bought this camera for a trip to Europe, and was utterly delighted with it... until I was in London and suddenly discovered the lens wouldn't open and shut properly, because the little metal plate over the iris had gotten bent in so it touched the shutter iris blades. This happened while the camera was in its case in my pocket!!! A lovely man at the local camera store used a pair of pliers to do a quick fix, and the camera (although a bit the worse for wear, cosmetically) worked fine for the rest of the trip.Last week I sent the camera to Canon for repair, with an initial estimate of no charge to me... but yesterday they told me they were going to charge me $250 to fix it or replace it with a refurbished model. Needless to say I was shocked -- especially because the damage was the direct result of the inherently fragile design of the shutter assembly. I told them just to send it back to me, and I'm just hoping it still works when I get it back. I've never had anything like this happen before, and certainly not with a camera that was brand new!In the future I will certainly think twice before buying any Canon product, and I will examine the sturdiness of any camera's design much more closely. And yes, I will probably pony up the bucks for that "super-warranty," because the Canon warranty is not worth the cost of the paper it's printed on.

Zoom feature is great, light weight and easy to use.Very affordable and has many settings for different photo needs

This camera does an excellent job with both indoor and outdoor photos. I don't like the size of the larger professional or prosumer type cameras to bring while travelling, so I prefer a point and shoot. Cellphone cameras are convenient but the picture quality is extremely poor compared to the ones a dedicated camera can take. This camera even does 1080p video. Almost every shot is perfect. Color is vivid, yet realistic, no blurring or noise. White balance is pretty good except in extremely bright and very dark extremes. For a simple to use point and shoot camera, this one is very, very good.

I had another Canon Power Shot before and was happy with it. Unfortunately I lost it. So I did my research and came to the conclusion of buying another more up to date Canon Power Shot. I was not disappointed! The colors and clarity of the pictures are great. The camera does reduce movements which will make your pictures sharper. The only flaw the camera has is that the pop up flash is located at the very top where we are all used to holding it. You must remember not to put your finger on the pop flash preventing the flash from popping up. Honestly you will get used to not putting your finger on pop flash.

I have always bought Nikon, but switched to Cannon. I really miss the touch screen and the ability to charge the battery from a USB port. I am afraid that I will loose/leave behind the wall plug battery charger for the Cannon. This is a good little camera and we have made some great movies with excellent sound recording. I got a 64MB memory card and used only a fraction of the space. I don't worry about the little guy going crazy with pictures and movies of bugs and other creepy crawlers anymore.
