Отзывы о Фотоаппарат Canon PowerShot SX260 HS

I owned a Canon Powershot SX230 hs and the SX260 was given to me from Canon as a replacement for the SX230 when I began experiencing problems with that camera and sent it in to factory service, in which not all concerns were resolved. Although I only had the SX230 for a couple of months and the SX260 is supposed to be an upgraded version of that camera, I preferred the SX230. The pictures taken with the SX260 are extremely bright and untrue in color, even with the lcd display turned down to the lowest setting. There are supposed to be over 50 settings for the camera to choose from in AUTO mode; however, I've only seen a few of the icons displaying which setting the camera is using, and each time, it's been incorrect for the scene. I have two girls, ages 3 & 5. I was told by a Canon Rep that this camera would take excellent action shots of the kids. I have yet to get one. The pictures turn out completely distorted and blurry if there is any movement. The camera has also not detected that I'm trying to take a picture of children (as that is one of the icons, as is a child in motion). Basically, I am now stuck with a camera that I absolutely hate. I used to take daily pictures of my kids and now I take only a couple every couple of weeks. I have tried using different settings and although some do turn out well, it's going to be very difficult for anyone else to pick up this camera and use it, so pictures of me with my kids are out. I am extremely disappointed and just want the SX230 back, but it was discontinued. I actually had Canon send me a second SX260 since I felt mine was defective, but I got the same results with that one. We're getting ready to go on our first family vacation to visit relatives, go to Disney, and to the beach. I am worried about getting any good shots. I must also note that the Kids & Pets, and Beach settings are not included on this camera.

I bought this camera due to the good reviews, and the camera does live up to its reviews. Nice quality pictures for an amateur like me. Easy to set up, I took pictures mostly of my dog and my backyard, and they came up really good, both in good light and low light. So why did I only give it 3 out of 5 starts? I just can't stand the flash poping out on me whenever it decides to, because that's where my finger is as I'm holding the camera. More often than not it startles me and I almost dropped the camera once or twice. It became so annoying that it had to go back. This is a problem with a lot of cameras which are otherwise very good, and I am very disapointed by the flash location. My old Panasonic has the built in flash that always shows and doesn't pop up on its own. I wish I could keep it as I otherwise really liked it.

Great camera!!!!! Bought two far so!!! I would definitely recommend. It is very easy to use and takes great pictures.

I bought this Canon specifically for our trip to Alaska. WOW! This is a great little camera. Before our trip I took it to my grandson's kindergarten graduation. I got great close ups that no one else got. As far as zoom, it is much better than my husband's Canon EOS and his 18-270 mm lens. On the trip, I was able to capture sheep from a very long distance and the blue colors of the glaciers were captured in great detail.I am looking forward to using this camera often in the years to come.

The image quality is amazing for a camera of this type. You can enlarge the image a lot and still have a beautiful and detailed photo. The main reason for purchasing this camera was the brightness of the display and it has exceeded expectations. We use this camera every day and we are never disappointed with it's performance under all conditions.

I previously had a Panasonic Lumix, which i really liked, but the new model is now touchscreen, which i am not a fan of. So, i went for the Canon equivalent and am very pleased. It takes really great pictures but isn't necessarily a "point and shoot" kind of camera accept on the auto setting. There are many ways to customize settings, which i like, but it i stumbled through finding settings. Reading the manual would probably be beneficial to maximize the potential of the camera. The best part for me is the 20x zoom, i never miss the photo, unlike my friends that think an iphone is an ideal camera!

This was a great little camera (nice pictures and wonderful zoom) until the LCD panel died after 13 months of use. There is no viewfinder, so obviously the camera is useless if the LCD panel doesn't work. Wouldn't it figure it only had a 1-year warranty.

I did LOTS of shopping-around, watching and reading reviews, and considering my options for DAYS before purchase. I was considering 3 different cameras, all the same style, and the reason I got this one was because of the amazingly unbelievable ZOOM power! I am so glad I did!This is a small, amazingly powerful and versatile camera. It is perfect for my use, which is: low-light indoor shots, home video shooting indoors, awesome indoor and outdoor clear pictures, the ability to capture extremely sharp and clear pictures even with some movement, and of course the "see-it-to-believe-it" zoom! I have taken pictures of the MOON that are of professional, even satellite quality! My family is in awe at the zoom power of this little point-and-shoot camera!WELL worth the money! I only paid about $229 for it, and will love this gadget until the day it dies. I have even dropped it (inside) a few times, with NO defects! A+++++

I've owned this camera for three days and put it to use at a fancy reception on Day 1. GREAT portraits and party ambiance has been captured - along with sunset photos and night skyline shots from the 26th floor overlooking the bay. I took hundreds of photos with flash and the battery lasted beyond the evening. I've also taken it out on a hike and photographed little birdies and water and clouds and flowers and mountains and all of them look stunning with minimal editing!I am in awe with the mega zoom, great colors and how quickly it starts up and takes the picture. Aside from preset modes, this camera also allows for a lot of manual handling to change settings as needed! I have only a few more settings to explore and I have not found a thing yet that I don't like. (I upgraded to this camera from a Nikon Coolpix)I named her Karla. :)Enjoy!

I love this camera! My favorite camera to date. I was so surprised at the awesome clear picture I was able to get of the moon. LOVE this camera!!

Bought this as a gift for teen daughter. We have always had great luck with Canon products, and I could not find a bad review on this camera. This PowerShot has exceeded our expectations. Takes wonderful pictures and is easy to use. I really am pleased with the zoom lens, we recently attended a concert and even from upper balcony we got great shots and video footage. I am feeling a bit guilty, as i have borrowed this gift several times, finding it much more convenient than my big expensive camera, and really not seeing much difference in the quality. We were also thrilled with the quick shipping, ordered with 2-day shipping, and received in less than 24 hours.

This little camera was exactly what I was looking for, so glad I got one before they are all gone! Canon has discontinued this model, but you can still get the SX280 at a higher cost and a few more options. I had purchased the SX150, but returned it... I didn't like anything about that camera and especially the fact that the batteries died super fast. This SX260 is the DSLR users "small go to camera" in my book! Great product... thanks Amazon and thanks Canon.

I just got my new camera from Amazon. I love the auto focus feature and the quality of the pictures so far are great even at distances. I had bought my daughter a canon PowerShot for Christmas and was amazed at the quality of the recording of my grandsons soccer game! So when my old camera died after less than a couple of years use, The Canon PowerShot was the only one I looked at to purchase. Of course I had to have the 1080 pixel instead of the 720 pixel I got her so my Video quality should be better...Thanks Amazon

Recieved camera that was malfunctioning. It was a gift and it was not working when they got it. I don't live near the recipient of the gift and have no way to fix it or get it sent back. Way too much money for something defective.

The Canon Powershot SX260 camera is a great alternative for those times that you don't want to bring out your heavier and more bulkier camera gear.

This camera is just perfect for me. Optics are very good quality, the 20x zoom is incredibly useful, and form factor is convenient and comfortable. The ability to manually control the settings is a huge benefit, though I've had problems figuring out some extreme situations (outdoor, moonlit seascape was a fail). Also admit to loving the color (green). Wonderful 12.1 MP camera!

Great product...excellent pictures. Super fast startup time...very easy to use...canon is definitely one of the best cameras out there. Must buy

After mechanical failure of 2 similarly sized Sony cameras I purchased this Canon. I have a Canon Rebel Xti (work) and 60D (home) that I have been very happy with and figured a point and shoot in the same family would be good. It has been great with decent image quality and more importantly-- very fast function with simple controls and excellent auto mode for the wife. It is so vastly superior to the average camera phones that are pretty much crowding this type of point and shoot out of the market. Perfect for the purse, backpack, or pocket.

I've had this for a few weeks and have been really happen. I took this on vacation in place of my DSLR and was really happy with the results. Of course, it's not a replacement, but I appreciated the convenience and not having to manage my whole kit. Really solid for capturing family moments and vacation snapshots.

I bought this SX260 for my daughter for Christmas, she loves it. It takes great pictures, the pictures are really clear and sharp, she hasn't had to use the flash yet, because this camera takes the best low light pictures I've ever seen. I bought this camera because consumer reports gave it such a high rating, I figured I couldn't go wrong and I didn't. The 20X zoom works great, my old A560 power shot has a 4X zoom and I thought that was something at the time, the A560 takes good pictures to but nothing like this SX260, all I can say is wow !! The rechargeable battery lasts a long time and she can take plenty of picture's, unlike some cameras that run on regular AA batteries which seem to drain right out even when your not using the camera. So I cant say enough good things about this camera, My daughter loves the fact that its so easy to use and her pictures come out Great, it makes her look like she knows what she doing. And she finally gave me back my camera, because it doesn't take good pictures any more. :)

I purchased this camera to both replace my aging 5 MP digital camera and to eventually also use underwater with an Ikelite housing (haven't done the latter yet). After a two week vacation with it overseas as my first real use of it I have to say that I am impressed with the size/weight of the package, the quality of the pictures, the acceptable speed of operation, the battery life, the image stabilization, and the zoom.I was expecially pleased with how the 20x optical zoom and the image stabilization seem to work together. I had no problems zooming the full 20x and shooting crisp, clear photos. Going beyond 20x -- using the in camera digital zoom -- didn't work quite as well expecially beyond 30x, but in many cases was acceptable.Speed of operation is acceptable but just barely so -- this with a 32 GB Type 10 SDHC card.Battery life is reasonable -- I was able to shoot a full day of photos (100-120)with mixed flash on a single fully-charged battery. I also purchased two of the after-market batteries and kept those with me, but never had to switch out during the day (although I came close a couple of times).Regarding controls, the camera is comfortable to hold and the control layout is acceptable. I did have one problem with the auto-focus fighting me for a picture of a church steeple framed by trees -- the closer trees kept fooling the auto-focus to give them preference. Admittedly, this is more lack of my not reading the fine manual than a defect in the camera.

June 2013. Great camera for Under $300!!I have not had this camera long at all. Have not taken it on a trip yet, but have played around with it locally. I did quite a bit of research on camera's before purchasing. If you want a combination of good optical zoom with compact size... you should consider this camera!!Flash is a little annoying (pops up where your finger wants to rest; But I can get used to it).I really wish it had a view finder. I will see how the display performs at the beach in 2 weeks!!

I like the camera but without a guide included it is cumbersome to have to read the instructions on the computer and then practice using it. Also, the battery has had to be charged twice and we haven't really used it much. We certainly are happy that we purchased a spare battery. We are taking a trip to Alaska and wanted the convenience of a small camera that would take good quality pictures and it fits that parameter. Haven't yet tried to take any movies but we liked that feature as well.

Great little camera that will easily fit into my purse. It makes really good pictures and is simple enough for me to understand most of its functions. And, I love the color...everyone comments on it.
