Отзывы о Фотоаппарат Canon PowerShot SX260 HS

I love everything I've ever owned made by Canon, and this camera is no exception. It has a wider angle lens that produces beautiful photos. I've checked the photos this produces over with a magnifying glass, and they are extremely sharp and crisp, with great color. I was wanting another Canon Powershot ever since I lost my last one on a trip to Mexico, and this one has been updated and improved in many ways over my old one, even though that one was also a great camera.PROs:*This has a large variety of shooting modes, from basic point and shoot all the way up to full manual. The video quality is amazing for a small inexpensive camera, as well as the photo quality. The image stabilization in the video mode in particular is fantastic.*Very fast shooting. The new improved image processor in this allows it to shoot in bursts of up to 10 frames per second.*Excellent GPS system, and this newer version of the Powershot has made it easier to turn it on and off.*Shutter speeds from 15 seconds up to 1/3200.*Small and lightweight.*Zoom works and focuses well.*Excellent low light photos*Excellent colors. Photos are bright and well saturated and accurate.*Very good video quality. Video quality stays excellent even on my large screen TV. This records full HD movies.*58 Pre-defined shooting situations*10 scene modes*Creative filters: Color Accent, Color Swap, Toy Camera, Soft Fucus, Monochrome, Super Vivid, Poster Effect, Fisheye Effect and Miniature Effect.*Flash only pops up when needed*3 inch displayCONs:*short battery life*panorama mode is still Stitch Assist, not automatic*only 3 manual aperture settings with the lens fully extended, so the lens is slow when used fully as a telephoto.(There are 9 aperture settings when not fully extended.Of the 58 predefined shooting situations available, one has Canon's face recognition feature. You can program the camera to recognize up to 12 faces which will then be priority for focus and exposure.I love using this camera. It takes beautiful shots and has all the features I need to take some great looking photos. I can highly recommend this camera.

I ordered this camera for my husband as an early father's day gift (we wanted it in time for our vacation at the end of May). For the three weeks we had the camera it took beautiful pictures and the burst feature was great for taking pictures of our eight month old daughter. Then, the lens wouldn't retract and an error code appeared on the screen. No big deal, we thought. We've only had the camera for three weeks, it must still be under warranty. Per a Canon representative's instructions, we sent the camera back via priority mail. We got an email from Canon stating the camera was out of warranty (what!?!?!?!) and a replacement would cost $269.00. I paid less than that including shipping from Amazon (which is a great company). What kind of company warranties it's products for less than 30 days? Are they being serious? I even went as far as to request clarification because their response stated the camera was "being replaced," which implied a replacement would be provided free of charge. Nope, they stated without a hint of irony, if we want a new camera we need to give them $269.00. Long story short, Canon does not stand behind their products and provides customer service that is on par with a student loan company...or a collections agency....or the prison system. Don't buy their products. Just don't.

We travel often, and I am a serious-amateur photographer, taking many photos on every trip, both in the US and in Europe. One of my criteria is that the camera must be one I can carry in my pants or jacket pocket so it's always ready, but still high quality enough to take excellent photos and videos, be versatile, and have a processor that allows me to take good shots without a flash in places such as museums, cathedrals, castles, and other interior sites. Most of cameras have been Canons, and they have performed well. Based on reviews in camera mags, I bought the Canon SX260 this fall, as I thought its amazing 20x optical zoom, new processor, stabilizer, and wide angle lens would make it ideal for travel photos. At only $270 from Amazon, it was well below the big SLRs and other cameras I saw advertised, but would still be in-the-pocket ready. We have just returned from a two-week tour of Scotland- lots of lakes (lochs), the highlands, historic sites - a real test for any camera. In every respect, the Canon 260 lived up to its claims, and, in my opinion, may be the best camera for travelers on the market. The 20x zoom, over and over, allowed my to get shots of scenery, people, castle and cathedral interiors that would have been impossible before. The amazing processor "gathered" light in even very dim places,so I never had to use a flash once; I turned in off on the first day of the tour and never needed it for two weeks! And - a small but appreciated detail -- in every Canon before, if you turned the flash off for a shot, the next time you turned on the camera, it defaulted to flash on, making you turn it off over and over. With the 260, if you turn it off, it stays off until you change it - a big time saver. I was even able to take night shots of the lights and harbor at Oban- no flash, handheld and stabilized. The improved video controls on the back make that job easier as well. Although a bit larger by about 1/4" and a bit heavier by about 1 1/2oz, it is still easily an in-the-pocket, ready to go camera for any trip or occasion. In short, I 100% recommend this new Canon, for travel or otherwise, I

I love this camera. I needed something lightweight but not cheap. It also had to be fast and accurate. With 12.1 MP and a 20x zoom this camera take sharp clear shots. It's zoom often comes in handy. Its GPS capabilities are GREAT. I would buy purchase this camera again.

Really like the camera and the ease of use, it seems to be the only model that I can't purchase a waterproof case for.

i am no professional photographer and i was looking for the cam that gives me high resolution pics and easy to handle and use and get good results even if i pass it to a kid or a passing by person with unknown photography skills to take that shot for me somewhere ... i was so lucky to find this cam on amazon with a great reviews from buyers whether pro photographers or just every-day user, those reviews i second almost all of them and maybe i can praise the HD vids that this cam can shoot a bit more than others reviewed it!the optical zoom 25x is so impressive and beyond that the cam can give you up to 80x digital zoom which is still good .. what is more impressive is that it has this stabilizing system that gives you imho 90% of the times stable images even with the 80x zoom and the usually shaky hands that we non-pro people have !one more thing very impressive the lens that is so sensitive to light .. i tested pics with very dim indoor lighting conditions and still i got very good images relatively and this applies to shooting vids too (that is in comparison to this cam's closest competitors)taking panorama pictures and stitching them with the software that comes in the software CD is something so easy and lovely .. and you can take as much as 26 shot to stitch them together!the UI is very friendly and so is the software that comes with the packageone thing maybe you'd need sometime to get used to is the flash light that pops out of the cam's body when it is needed .. you just need to have your finger always placed away from the hidden flash light ... you will need some time with holding the cam and then you'd know how to handle it right and comfortably so that's not a big dealand don't expect a RED cam as described by canon .. because it is plum-red just as the pic showsfinal word: LOoOoOve it

I absolutely love this camera. It rivals my Canon 20D with a 300mm zoom lens. Even at 20X zoom in hand held mode the camera images remain sharp when there is good day time lighting. The wide angle aspect of this camera is also very useful. The flash works exceptionally well and throws light out much farther than the stated 12 feet contained in the user manual. Even if you know nothing at all about cameras you can leave the camera in auto mode and it will produce outstanding results. However, if you're willing to read the user manual of if you are experienced with photography this will be the best camera you ever owned. You can take photos in almost any lighting situation and in any shooting experience.One note of caution, not only for this camera but all cameras, always be careful to check your lens for smudges or dust before you use it. I smudged the lens of my SX260 and it would not focus properly and there was light blooming in the center of each image. It was my fault, of course. Because the camera kept trying to keep good focus and was working the small servo motor used to focus, the batteries wore out and had to be recharged frequently. Once I cleaned the lens this problem disappeared. Don't forget to buy additional batteries for this camera. These smaller Li-Ion batteries tend not to last a long time so if you are going out for a long photo shoot you'll need two or three more charged batteries. I have 10 batteries which I bought for my SX260. I imagine you can probably take 150 to 200 photos with no flash on just one battery. Amazon.com gave me a good price on this item. I bought a used, or open package camera which arrived in excellent shape. All the separate components appeared to never have been opened. I save about $25 with this purchase. The supplier delivered the item to me in 4 days, or about a week before the expected delivery date. I love the camera.

very happy with the pictures i love the small size i was looking for a good camera that would fit in my pocket

Very good product well built, seems durable, I would recommend to anyoneI look very good relation cost / quality, excellent

After reading about this camera and looking at some other reviews I settled on it although I have always had a Nikon Coolpix before. This was less expensive but seemed good. I wish I would have spent more money and bought another Coolpix. First of all much of the time when I turn the camera on the lens cover doesn't open fully so I have to push it open with my finger and have fear of scratching the lens. Next, it is not nearly as user friendly as the Coolpix. My Coolpix had lots of settings for beach/snow/nighttime,dusk,dawn,backlight, close up and many other things. After having used this Canon for almost two weeks in New York City and visiting my grandchildren in New Jersey I really got frustrated.The booklet that comes with the Canon is nearly worthless. With my past Nikons I got a nice full book that was really helpful. I am going to when I have time go online to the Canon website and see if I can get some help in finding out if this camera has some of the features that I named above as they are important.Unless I can get some help in finding features that I need if they are even on this camera then my next camera will be another Nikon Coolpix.

since i just got this camera the other day and have just barely started using it, this isnt really a "product review" that said, i do want to mention a couple things ( i must feel like talkin'!) over the past 6 months i have been seriously updating my cameras and have purchased quite a few, some i bought locally and some here on amazon (which BTW is a GREAT place to shop for 100's of reasons!) a couple cameras i took back pretty quick and those were mostly oly's ( wanted the tough underwater gig and gave up with oly) i was actually replacing an old canon elph that never died just got so far out of date that i REALLY wanted more than... 4 pixels! but i will say that that camera NEVER NEVER failed me, and it was fast as a whip at taking the shots, i donated it to goodwill so i am certain someone is STILL havin' fun with it!ive bought 4 little point and shoot set ups and canon BY FAR is the best for ME, i cant even imagine why anyone would want a point and shoot that doesnt turn around and shoot AGAIN like lightning and canons DO. every one, every time. the others... sony. nikon, oly etc... JESUS you have to wait for the thing to figure out what its doing i guess, who knows! so FOR ME if it cant shoot and shoot and shoot NOW then forget all the other bells and whistles PERIOD when i am out shoooting i want what i see to be captured and frankly whatever i get i can edit and work with if i have to just make sure I GET IT, thats the cameras JOB (JoyOfBeing) and the rest is MINE!so this little baby is a GREAT CANON and its got some fine zoom goin' on too AND (and im big on this too) its a FUN COLOR! a tealy green and i love THAT about it too! it flatens out and gets right in the neat little case i have for it and its quick as a whip. THANK YOU CANON!Feb 15 2013this is still my main camera and i will say that i am OVER the top pleased with this thing! i took it with me on my first ever "cruise" to alaska and got over 800 of the BEST shots in the world as well as some pretty fabulous video. the "live" feature is priceless and now i dont even ever want to USE a camera that doesnt offer this. i love love love it! i shoot about 500+ pics a month in all sorts of "weather" conditons and this camera never fails and always amazes me.

Made in Japan and amazing! I was looking for a compact camera that is quality built with lots of manual controls. Canon came through with this fantastic camera. I'm used to the super compact Canon Elph line and was somewhat skeptical about going larger. I'm also accustomed to professional DSLR's but wanted to have a small compact for convenience.The Canon Powershot SX260 HS is a great compromise since it has an amazing 20x Canon UA lens with an amazing wide angle zoom 25mm - 500 mm (in 35mm terms), Canon Optical Image Stabilizer and the ability to record Full HD movies at 24fps. Wide angle is important especially in tight spaces. The macro lens also did a great job focusing close up.The pictures are very vibrant, clear and sharp. The DIGIC 5 processor does an incredible job creating incredibly sharp pictures at 10fps high-speed burst shooting.This is a solid built camera with a predominantly metal outer shell compared to the all plastic competitors. This camera will withstand the rigors of everyday life and will keep on shooting. It has many magical features and GPS.Compared to the Sony HX20,Panasonic ZS19,and Nikon COOLPIX S9200 this camera takes far better pictures, easier to use and built super solid.The negatives are the pop-up flash that gets in the way of handling the camera with my big hands, lacks one-touch Panorama mode (although it has Panorama assist mode), no HDR and it does not come with a touch screen.Overall, great easy to use camera, high quality Canon UA zoom lens, wide angle, solid built with a lot of features and pretty compact. I am very satisfied with this beautiful artistic tool.

I have now taken well over 200 photos and shot several hours of video with my new SX 260 HS and the one word that summarizes my feelings about this camera is incredible. The zoom is absolutely amazing whether you are shooting still pictures or video. I have NOT experienced high pitched sound some users are hearing during video playback, either on my computer straight from the SD card or via my TV using an HDMI cable. That was a huge relief since that apparently is a deal-breaker for many users but the sound on my video is excellent.Last night I shot an entire tennis match by attaching the camera to a small tripod then tying the tripod to the fence and just letting it run for a couple of hours and the detail it captured was incredible. You could easily pick up the ball movement even on fast rallies. Even though the camera was probably 20 feet from the closest player you could also pickup quite a bit of dialog. I then set up the tripod on the court and shot slow motion video of myself serving which was eye-opening to say the least. This is a pretty unique and useful feature for breaking down and analyzing sports activities and was one of the key reasons I focused on this camera in the first place.I also really like the quick single button video record and stop button on the back of the camera which makes it much easier to capture impromptu scenes. The low light performance is probably not as good as a DSLR (I don't own one so I don't know for certain) but it seems quite good to me and certainly better than any previous digital camera I have ever owned including my Panasonic FZ-20 I've owned since 2006. I used to be wowed by my FZ-20's 12x zoom lens which was awesome for outdoor photography but this 20x beast is even better and this camera is about 1/4th the size of the FZ-20.There are so many different shooting modes and options I am still learning them all but the included CD with a User's Guide is very comprehensive so I'm confident I'll eventually learn what I need to know to get the most out of the camera. The start up time seems very responsive and about the same or quicker than my older Canon A700 or my wife's Canon newer SD1200. To sum up, I am extremely happy with all aspects of this camera and would buy it again in a heartbeat, even if the price were higher than what I paid.

I've had this camera for 14 months. Today the screen has black lines all through it. Called Canon and they want $147 to repair it. I paid $284 for it 9/2012. Since I've seen other reviewers mention this problem, I believe after years of using Canon products, it's time to move on. Just beware of this potential problem.

In preparing for my Ten year Anniversary Cruise I wanted a new camera to capture my memories. I had an old Canon powershot that had seen better days but I was comfortable with the brand so I decided to get a new version. Wow! It was like I upgraded to what the experts use! I took over 1000 pictures. The clarity of the pictures is fabulous. Even in a moving bus I was able to take incredible still shots. The color in the pictures is so vibrant, but the most amazing part was the 20x zoom.. It actually zooms all the way to 80x! I found myself using it as a telescope whenever I wanted to see something too far away! And of course then I snapped a picture. It especially takes well-lit pictures even when the flash is set to "off", where other cameras would be too dark. The settings are easy to use and the picture review is fantasticly modern. It's also a nice size to fit into a pocket, I wish it was a little lighter but that zoom lens is worth it. To film a movie you just push the red buton on and off, no searching for how-to. So easy. I definitely got my money's worth here! The only downside is that there are SO many options with this camera that I am afraid I will never know all of them. Now that I am back from vacation I will have to spend a little more time learning about all of the tricks available on this camera from the how-to CD. But if you didn't feel like doing that just stick to the "auto" setting and it's got it all.

Had read a lot of reviews before deciding to get this one. We weren't disappointed as the quality of the camera taking pictures and videos exceeded our expectations. To us, it was quite costly on the expensive side, but well worth the features and output of our photos. So clear in quality and resolution was outstanding. Although there are additional features on the photo that we'd have to read upon to take advantage of the feature, the basic usage was simple. The only thing that throws us off on the camera is the location of the flash; when we set the camera to Automatic, the flash button stays disabled, but when we change the settings and want the flash to work (if our hands are positioned on the top left hand side of the camera, it will startle us as an unexpected place for the camera to pop up). Other than that, this is a fine camera.

As many other reviewers, even folks who typically prefer SLRs, have said, sometimes it's just more convenient and spontaneous to use a point and shoot than a full-blown SLR. You just pull it out of your pocket or bag and go. I bought this camera to replace a Canon PowerShot SX210 IS which I bought a couple of years ago and was never really happy with. It took fairly good pictures, but somehow was not that fun to use. The SX 260 was the perfect replacement. It's basically an update of the older model, but in my opinion, is a vast improvement. The pictures look much better to me, and I rarely use anything but the Auto modes and presets. The combination of 20x zoom and great image stabilization get fantastic shots. We were recently in New Orleans for JazzFest and took a lot of pictures far from the stage, zoomed in to a single performer and I was shocked by how good the images were. It was daylight, so take that into consideration. It also is very quick to be ready to take multiple shots without waiting a long time. The wide angle shots also look better to me, as the SX210 seem to blur those shots considerably at the edges. I mostly use presets for certain conditions, like low-light shots, as opposed to effects, but they all seem to work well if you're into that. The video looks ok, but we don't shoot much. My wife and I typically take hundreds of pictures when we go on trips and have been since the days of film. We never bothered with a film SLR either, but when we look at shots from the film point and shoot days, there is no comparison. Digital wins hands-down, especially on this camera. Often many of the shots we take are multiples of the same scene to make sure we get at least one good one. (We sure didn't do THAT in the film days!) With this camera, we usually have more than one good one from a single series and it's even harder to decide on a keeper. If you are looking for a great quality replacement or improvement from your current digital point and shoot, or an alternative to your SLR, this camera deserves your attention. After around half a dozen digital point and shoots over the years, I feel like I finally found one that measures up.

I use this as my walk-about pocket camera. The zoom is flippin' amazing, and the quality of the images it turns in are VERY good. It is JPEG-only (Bummer!) so you lose highlights in clouds and can't bring up shadows like you can in a RAW image, but hey, its a pocket camera, right?PROS:Amazing zoomFits in a pocketcovers its own Lens when you shut it offit has the normal canon setting modes: P/T/V/Myou can set aperture and speedHigh ISO (over 1000) looks ok.did I mention the zoom?CONS:The on/off button is a little temperamental when I want to quickly reopen it - but that could just be me.It is a-l-m-o-s-t a little small for my older, larger hands.Summary:It's the best point-and-shoot I've ever owned. Yes, I prefer to shoot with a Canon 5DII or III. But I sure prefer slipping this guy in my pocket to lashing a DSLR around my neck. And the best camera for a photo? THE ONE YOU HAVE WITH YOU! And I always have this one.Canon - give me RAW and its perfect....

I was so excited to receive this Canon SX260 after reading rave reviews from owners and digital camera websites. I wanted a camera to slip into my pocket (sort of) that would take good quick photos, and this seemed to fit that description. The camera is blazing fast to start, focus, shoot, flash, reshoot, wireless transfer, and just feels well balanced and sturdy.Too bad the pics are soft and fuzzy. I took over 400 photos in the first couple of days: inside, outside, macro, telephoto, portraits, candids, and some on a tripod to verify what my eyes were telling me.Regardless of lighting conditions, this camera just does not take crisp photos. On a tripod to reduce the possibility of movement, the photos are beautifully color balanced, just nothing is sharp in the photos. I let other people look at the photos on my computer and on my HDTV. The same comments over and over, "I can't figure out where the camera is focused. There isn't any place that is sharp."I'll continue to use my old Sony DSC-H5. Slower (a lot!), with lower resolution (7.2MP), but the photos it takes are much sharper and stand-up to zooming and cropping for prints. I took some test photos side-by-side with the H5 and this SX260. Hands down, the H5 takes better pics, even if it is slower to use.Maybe it is the new sensors?

First off, I am a Canon user par non.I own Canon cameras exclusively.I have had this camera for over a year now, and have taken it around the world on my travels. Hot, cold, rain, sun, cloud, inside outside.I shoot everything. Nature, people, buildings etc.The camera is slow to focus, sub illuminates inside or low light shots, has mediocre focusing. I compare all this to my gold standard. The SX100.My SX100 will still outperform the SX260, which is truly sad.The SX260 does perform well, in full sunlight outside shots, but thats not why i bought it. I wanted a good all around pocket camera like my sx100.This is not it.I find my self needing to use two cameras. The SX260 for outside sunny days and the SX100 for everything else, including indoor.If you have never experienced the sx100, try and grab one at a deal from fleabay.You will be impressed and understand what i mean !

I bought this camera having had great experience with canon. but this one was a complete lemon. on several occasions now, all past the return date, the lcd screen has gone blank. actually I can see it if it tilt it just the right way in bright light. so it is really dim. I've searched the net for solutions. one solution that seemed to work for people was to set the shutter speed to 5 second manually, press the picture button to start taking a picture, then pop the battery out while the shutter is open. of course this didn't work. beyond that now I have to try to wrestle with canon. what a pita!

All the reports of a high pitch noise been recorded on video mode are true. I bought this camera at Best_Buy and it had the same issue, this problem is extremely widespread and if you see the camera been sold at a discount is probably because the store knows they have a problem and are dumping them on uninformed buyers. Do not underestimate this noise, it will ruin your wedding video for sure or any video shot in a semi-quiet environment. Shame on Canon for not issuing a recall. Sadly there is no way to test the cameras been sold on internet stores and they are not easy to return.Also the battery life on this camera is dismal even if you are not using the GPS function or autofocus mode, if you turn the GPS you will be lucky if you get 200 pictures with one charge. Another annoying quirk is that this camera does not create automatic Panoramic photographs, it simply does not stitch them together, that is just plain dumb.UPDATE: I exchanged the defective Canon SX260 for the same model, the new camera produces no high pitch noise but the Canon SX260 still introduces an unusually loud white noise, sounds like a "waterfall" on the background, it is always there, even when there is music or dialogue. It never goes away. Compared to my Sony Cybershot, the Canon SX260 background noise is easily twice as loud what it should be. Because of this, I still cannot recommend this camera for shooting in quiet environments. In my humble opinion the microphone automatic "gain" is set too loud compared to other digital cameras.Walllmart has taken all their Canon SX260 off the shelves around here, I wonder why. BB is still selling them and may be re-selling the defective ones that everyone has returned including mine, Canon does not allow them to resale open-box so they may very well put them back on the shelf with no warning. I cannot speak for Amazon, their cameras could be fine but others here will have to testify to that.

I want to preface that I am not a professional or very dedicated photographer. My review is for people like me: love photography, use mostly scene settings, some manual tinkering (aperture and shutter speed priority) and love to take scenery and wildlife pictures. I am in the market for a smaller camera to take to my hikes/travel etc. to replace my Lumix FZ28 which was stolen on my recent trip to Costa Rica. I already have a Nikon D5100 which I love and takes great pics, but it was just to heavy and bulky to take it along. I purchased both a Canon SX260HS and a Lumix ZS19 to try out because both their specifications seem comparable and I trust both brands. I took pics side by side with these two cameras, and here are my observations:1. color: panasonic colors were generally cooler with more green/blue vs. the canon's warmer colors (yellowish tones) for the same scenes and lighting2. the HDR features of the Lumix are amazing for high contrast/bright background.3. the zoomed pictures for the Lumix were clearer (less blurry) than the Canon's (I took pictures of a power tower and some distant hills in the late afternoon light)4. the most important consideration for me was the ability to focus. I took pictures of flowers and foliage and the Lumix clearly outshone with the feature of the touch screen (I could tell it to focus on a particular petal or detail just by touching the image on the screen) whereas I ended up with a lot of out of focus pictures with the Canon.Note that I did not try the GPS feature of the Canon since it is not that important to me.In conclusion, even the expert reviews talk about a better image quality of the Canon SX260, I decided that for my purposes, I prefer the images that the Lumix ZS19.I am going to return both cameras today and order the Lumix ZS20 instead (because of the promotion, the price of the ZS20 is the same as what I paid for the ZS19, so the GPS feature is for free!!!)

I'm constantly flipping my point and shoot digicams for the latest and greatest within my budget. My recent purchases were the Panasonic Lumix DMC-ZS3 and the Canon PowerShot SX230 the SX260's predecessor.I use the camera mostly for eBay still photography, family photos, and indoor concert footage and snaps. I don't have a discerning eye for photography so all these cameras performed equally well for me, with respect to picture quality. I rarely use the presets and fancy photo filters unless I need them in special situations. And I never use the GPS function; if the SX240HS were available in U.S. Amazon, I'd buy that one.Unlike real photographers, my primary issues with a camera are how it feels in my hand and whether the functions are intuitively accessible via menus. I prefer the Canon menu system and buttons, over Panasonic's. I like all of the the SX230 functions but ... I couldn't comfortably park my fingers in order to easily adjust the back dials. The front of the SX230 had just the scratchy logo to hang onto. Owners of SX230, you probably know what I mean.Canon solved my pet peeve, with a rubber grip strip on the face of the SX260. That little piece of ergonomics VASTLY improved my user experience with this camera. My enthusiasm for this baby has been restored.I attached comparison photos of the SX230 and SX260.
