Отзывы о Фотоаппарат Canon PowerShot SX260 HS

Wonderful little camera.....so many great features. Still need to " play " with it some to actually learn how to use features...but this camera will be a great " take a long " on holidays .

The SX260 is a highly desirable camera in its class, one of only two long zooms on the market that I can recommend. Image quality is of course limited by any small-sensor camera, but this unit is the pick of the current litter for a 20x true optical compact with a GPS. It is a clear notch better than the still very good Panasonic ZS-20, though the ZS-20 runs about fifty bucks less.If the GPS is not important to you and you can live with the "tiny"??? 16x zoom, the Panasonic ZS-15 is faster in operation, and captures equal or perhaps slightly sharper images at ISO 800, and saves you $100 as a bonus. Panasonic LUMIX DMC-ZS15 12.1 MP High Sensitivity MOS Digital Camera with 16x Optical Zoom (Black)I've done a longish review of the ZS-15, so I won't repeat it here. No one is making a mistake with the SX260 (or its predecessor, the SX230 (same sensor) that I still use regularly). Canon PowerShot SX230 HS 12.1 MP CMOS Digital Camera with 14x Image Stabilized Zoom 28mm Wide-Angle Lens and 1080p Full-HD Video (Black)If the GPS and 20x is what you want in a compact, this Canon is a clear notch better than the current Nikon, Sony, and Fuji attempts. Three years ago, a 20x compact this satisfying didn't exist, regardless of price.

I have been using this camera for 5+ months and I can't stop taking pictures and videos. The quality of this camera is just outstanding and it takes beautiful pictures. The camera shoots amazing HD videos and it puts other cameras to shame. I have recommended it to all my friends since they all seem to love it. Canon has another winner in their hands with this camera. I simply cannot stop taking pictures when I have this camera in my hands. You don't need to be an expert at taking pictures with this camera, you just point and shoot. One thing that I did not really like was the battery life which I think in my opinion could be better but that's not really a problem for me since I always carry extra batteries with me wherever I go. Great job Cannon with this camera!

I have a decent DSLR but I wanted a nice point and shoot for a cruise vacation I took a few weeks ago.i wanted a high powered optical zoom along with a built in GPS. I took both cameras on the cruise but I never took the DSLR out of the case. Day and night shots both were excellent. Zoomed photos were astonishing even without a tripod. Several people remarked what a nice camera when they used it to take my picture. I am not ready to sell my DSLR yet, but I won't be buying another camera for a long time.

Very good camera with versatile features...had the best vacation and the photos I took with the camera are fantastic for a point and shoot!!

Bought this as a replacement for an old Nikon. Much improved image stabilization. Much easier to get a good shot.

NOTE: My previous review stated some strong concerns about a high-pitched audio frequency coming through all the videos. We exchanged the first camera, but the 2nd was not pronounced enough to ding the review significantly for. I have revised the star rating to match, though I'm not convinced it's gone...Let me preface by saying that I've been buying and recommending Canon digitals for over 10 years. In fact I still have my old silver PowerShot S60 stowed away in my drawer, and the SX260 HS is probably our 9th Canon. I'm starting to wonder if that's actually a GOOD sign or not, as the longevity of every new model seems to suffer...After our SX230 began putting out more and more WEIRDLY colored photos in P-Auto mode (in full, healthy sunlight no less where Canons have always shined), we started shopping other brands. There's a lot of good cameras out there but between the Nikon's noise, and the Sony's dull brown colors we always returned what we had and waited for the next in the SX series.Now that we have it, my wife has been really happy with the photo quality in most situations, however the AUTO mode which advertises as being "so intelligent" misses the mark on MANY occasions. Especially around kids and low light. Every kids photo comes out blurry, so inevitably I return to P mode and manually up the ISO or force the flash to compensate.The video of the last couple generations has been fantastic in HD, although there is a bit of ambient audio hiss in this model which we don't notice in our older videos.On average though, I can recommend this camera.

I got this camera before the summer wedding season so I could have something of good quality, yet somewhat discreet so I didn't look like I was the official photographer. The SX260 HS met my expectations. The quality of the wedding photographs is nearly as good as what I saw from the professional photographers.Good:- Picture quality is just a notch below DSLR. I've gotten a lot of compliments on the photos from this camera.- Fairly compact, though not as small as some PowerShot models.- Image stability is quite good, even with high zooms. I tried some outside scenic shots that came out very crisp even with no tripod at high zooms.- Very extensive feature set.Bad:- As others noted, the flash pops up where I like to put my finger.Overall I am very pleased with this purchase.

I bought this for my daughter for Christmas and thought it was the perfect gift. Unfortunately, there is a very distinct buzzing or white noise sound on the video feature. We sent it back to try again and the second camera had the same problem. She is a college student and really wanted to be able to take videos and pictures so we returned and are still searching.

Our Sony was stolen and I replaced it with a very complex Nikon. My wife hated the Nikon and just wanted something simple that took great pictures and didn't require a degree in engineering to operate. This camera definitely fits the bill. Now she never puts it down. Always had great luck with Canon cameras.Pros: Telescoping zoom lens, easy to set up and useCons: none so far

The main reason i bought this camera was because of the zoom range and that's why iam giving it 1 star cause the zoom of this camera is terrible and extremely difficultto take a picture the second con is the handling its very uncomfortable with no grip and that stupid pop up flash pops up right were you put your finger i ended up with the Panasonic zs15 and i am very happy with that camerai highly recommend it to anyone looking for a good travel zoom camerawhatever your new camera will be ENJOY IT

Nice little camera. Outdoor pictures are a lot better than indoor. A bit disappointed in action shots however. Can't seem to capture motion. Maybe I don't have the correct settings.

I own digital cameras since 2003 and ever ask if it would be possible to have a point and shoot camera full of manual settings and with a big optical zoom and excellent stabilization system...I have been waiting for 9 years ..Canon made it!SX260 HS is wonderful.You can take clear photos with high ISO ...You can use all manual settings to obtain the photo as you want itYou can use the zoom at maximum and even shaking the photo still will be niceIts size make it easy to hold and carry it.Only you have to do: read the instructions booklet inside the cd or download it from Canon website.The navigation controls are easy to use ..just explore them!Some functions I dislike : the flash popping up just below your left finger...and the GPS function ...IMHO it is useless.I took pictures in the zoo with maximum zoom and looked as I was in a safari....IMO very few people who use a camera sporadically not intending to be pro really need a SLR camera ..The SLR cameras are more expensive, bigger and much more difficult to useIf you want to get as close as possible to a SLR with portability and easier controls without spending too much money take a SX260

After researching cameras, reading an exhaustive amount of reviews and talking to camera enthusiasts, I purchased this model for an extended European cruise. It was very easy to use, took great pics, and was durable enough that when I smashed it down on cobblestones when I tripped it just continued to take remarkable pics. The pics in low light conditions are very clear. The zoom worked great - the resolution of those pics is surprisingly clear. The clarity and color of my pics was consistently superior to my other cameras. I did not use the video feature, because I wanted my battery to last longer. Every day I did find that the battery needed to be replaced earlier than the manufacturer suggests, but my last task at bedtime was to charge them both up and so it was never an issue. I have never owned a camera that I felt so consistently comfortable with!

I've owned several Panasonic cameras starting with the TZ3. I recently bought the ZS20/TZ30 and was disappointed in how fuzzy the photos looked. So I bought a Canon SX260 and spent an afternoon taking identical shots with each. I started in the bright of day and finished well after dark using a tripod for the shots. While the Panasonic has more features, the Canon far outperformed in image quality. The Canon at ISO 1600 is similar to the Panasonic at ISO 500. At ISO 100 the Canon shots just look better. I'm returning the Panasonic and keeping the Canon.

I love(d) this camera. I got it mainly for the zoom, because I take mostly outdoor shots when I can't get too close. I've had 2 SD 1200IS cameras and one SD 1300 IS. I loved them too, but since they were in my pocket every single day, they tended to get spots on the sensors, leaving dark specks on the photos. The SX 260 is a little large for a pocket, so I got a case. The jury is still out on the sensor spots on this one since I only have had it for about 4 months. It does take super photos.Unfortunately, I bumped it pretty good when the lens was out, and it jammed. I sent it to Canon repair, and they said it could not be fixed under warranty. They did give me a reduced price on a new replacement, so I'm waiting for it. My message is that this lens seems vulnerable to damage when extended, so be super careful. If I had to do it again (lesson learned), I would get the damage insurance from Amazon. I travelled all arund the world with my 1200IS in my pocket without a glitch, but this lens sticks out more, so it is vulnerable.

After researching several different brands of cameras, I always seem to come back to Canon! This one certainly lives up to the high standards I have experienced with the! other Canon cameras I have owned

After reading many reviews about the video, I originally thought my video sound was okay when I got my new SX260 until I compared it to my SX230. I shot a quick video with both using the same SD card. There is definitely a sound difference. My SX230 sound is totally clear. On the SX260 it's not a squeal like the other posts, but an evident equipment hiss during playback. I'm going to try another SX260 and compare. I don't mind a subtle sound as long as it does not cover up my video subject sounds.UPDATE:The second SX260 DID have the so-called "squeal." Again, my first one only had a hiss (kind of like air), but not the squeal. The second SX260 had the squeal for certain. I can see how others are annoyed by the squeal. I know this is a camera and not a camcorder, however there are those precious moments that need to be shot by video from time to time. My decision will be to keep the hissing SX260 or my quiet SX230. The squealing SX260 is going back.UPDATE II (5/17/12):After trying 4 of these cameras, I found one that did not squeal! It was worth the extra time and effort as I truly enjoy this camera and will give my SX230 to my daughter now. I find myself using my SX260 more than my S100 and my SX40. I also have two DSLR's that I use when I need exceptional quality, but for ease of use, the SX260 takes the cake!!

The reviews on this camera are what influenced me to buy SX260. It is a nice compromise between a entry level SLR and an aim and shoot. I have had several Canon cameras to date and this one is as good or better than the past. The telephoto option works very well, a little hard to use with the smallish display but I like it! I also am a big fan of the small size....fits in a shirt or pants pocket. Most importantly it takes great pictures!. Plenty of inexpensive aftermarket batteries to be found, and I bought several that work very well! The price keeps dropping, so go buy one for Xmas.

So far, I am not happy with this camera. The pictures in Auto and P more are not in focus. When looking at the image it is in focus, but then when you press the shutter button half way, the image goes out of focus. I will be calling Canon to complain to see if it is a defective camera. Anyone else have this issue?5/29 update - Photos from the Memorial Day parade were mostly out of focus using auto mode. The only way to get clear pictures was to use the manual focus and set the distance to infinity. Called Canon today. Rep had me reset the camera. Still having the same issues. I will be talking to a friend that recommended the camera to me to see if his has had similar problems. At this point, I am suspecting I have a defective camera as most of the other reviews are positive. I will update as I find out more.6/4 update - Decided to return the camera to amazon as defective. I received the replacement on 6/1. The new camera is functioning significantly better. So, I must have had a defective camera. We took numerous pictures over the weekend including action shots. The camera took these in focus. I have upgraded my rating from 2 stars to 4 stars.

I bought this camera about 2 months ago for a horseback riding trip through Utah. I played around with it for a few weeks before we left and was very impressed at the image quality. There are 2 basic modes, "auto" and "easy" that are both straightforward and take great pictures without fiddling around. I have yet to use the manual and live options, but I'm sure they take amazing pictures as well. My favorite features on this camera are the 20x zoom and the creative "scene" modes. While in Utah the "super vivid" mode did a phenomenal job of picking up the bright colors in the landscape. The camera is a little pricey but overall I am very happy with my purchase and continue to be impressed with the camera to this day.

This is the best camera you can buy at this price. I feel like i wasted money buying my SLR camera because I rarely take it out because it's so big, heavy, awkward, and even embarrassing. Please go to a huge retail store and play with this camera and compare it to all others, you'll see it's the best camera out now based on specs, design and performance. I also have a nikon s9100 which is slightly inferior to this camera in both design (accidentally turns on all the time) and performance(and we all know its either canon or nikon for best photos). Please read the cnet reviews and and any other reviews on this camera. Compact megazooms are taking over. Any review you read will be comparing this camera's performance to a thousand dollar SLR set up. I print flawless 8x10 pictures with this camera. Save your money and buy this camera because the best camera is the one you have on you. Who wants to carry around a backpack when this canon fits in any shirt pocket and gives you excellent photos with excellent manual controls and an excellent auto mode. Go play with it at the store, and than buy it on amazon where you know its cheaper. Probably the best point and shoot of the year.

Today, I received this camera which I ordered online days ago. The camera looks beautiful and I like its design. I took several pictures, the quality of pictures is nice.But, after recording video using this camera and playback, I heard that squeal sound, like other people experienced and posted in here.I think it is the defect of this camera. I will return it to the seller. If they can find one which has no this defect, I still want this SX260 HS. Otherwise, I want refund.Seems this is the defect of this new released camera. So, I would suggest that if you want to buy this camera, the better to wait for next 2-3 months, then to see.There are video which were posted by the buyers who have this problem also. I quote in here (see comments )for your reference.UPDATE:After waiting for another two weeks, I purchased this one again. This is my fourth SX260HS after returned previous three because of high pitched sound of video.This new one is great! No high pitched sound of video, and pictures quality is still pretty good. I also satisfy its lower-light shot. Not bad.The con is, so far, the Auto mode. When focusing on yellow flower, on the screen, it is kind of whiten. Another con is a little bit of slow when focusing.

We just returned from a trip overseas and brought both the S95 and the SX260. We have owned the S95 for the past 2 years and really liked the camera but we wanted to get another camera as a backup and also to get one with a higher optical zoom. We tested both cameras in multiple situations on the trip and came to the conclusion that the S95 takes better night shots but the SX260 takes better shots in the day and the 20X optical zoom is extremely useful. The S95 allows you to go full manual but the SX260 gives you many options to play with your photo taking. Overall, if I could only take one camera I would take the SX260 because the optical zoom and picture quality is great. The night photos were pretty good too but not as good as the S95 (obviously if you are planning on taking more night shots, then the S95/100 would probably be better for you). On a side note, the GPS on the SX260 sucks battery life very quickly and the camera has a difficult time finding the GPS signal (we left it off for most of the trip)
