Отзывы о Фотоаппарат Canon PowerShot SX260 HS

Дмитрий, из Пензы, ошибаетесь насчет зума - при съемке видео zoom есть и он очень хороший

Фотик самый обычный, ничем не примечательный, кроме зума 20х оптического,снимает не лучше своего собрата Кэнон ixus, матрица маленькая,соответственно и снимки с таким же уровнем шума

доволен покупкой...

брал для работы, чтоб всегда под рукой в поездках и если сфоткать какую нибудь железяку...

Так все нахваливают...

Качество фото оказалось хуже чем у старого A530 что немного расстроило,...

Один из лучших компактных цифровиков, особенно удобна функция записи GPS-логов в отдельные файлы после съёмки и возможность потом вставлять геотеги в данные изображений (http://jj-warez.livejournal.com/27066.html) и т.п.

I am in the process of having to replace my Power Shot A 650 IS and have been trying to find another Canon camera to take its place. I have been comparing various ones online and reading all the customer reviews. I figured out that the SX260 and the SX50 are basically the exact same camera but in two different classes. So I went with this SX260 because of the price difference.I take lots of pictures and I not a professional by any means. I found that the fish eye option is absolutely ridiculous unless you are taking a picture of a tree lined path or street and want it to appear like a tunnel. There is no landscape option which might seem fine but then leaves the user trying to figure out which setting is a good option for those scenic shots. I tested out the optical zoom and while it does get you up close and personal to a far off object it does not take a great picture of said object. I also noticed that the camera is jumpy. I don't have any visible hand shaking problems but getting this camera to stay on a stationary object that you are zoomed in on can be trying. I didn't notice any difference between the normal portrait mode or the smooth portrait mode. If you choose the vivid option be forewarned that your colors will become over saturated. I noticed that if I tried to take a macro picture of a flower while being 2'-5' from the subject that the camera would not focus on it. However if I was standing in my yard and trying to take a picture of a neighbor's flower in their yard (maybe 20') that macro was fine. (My A650 has absolutely no problems doing this). There is an option called "live" which lets you adjust three things in your picture and I found no advantage for this unless you would like to pretend that you are taking a picture at twilight when it is actually noon.I would not recommend this camera based on all my above findings. It is back to the drawing board for me.

Rarely am I dissapointed with my technology purchases due to the fact that I spend so much time researching before I will ever buy. I followed my standard practice in this case when our Elph finally died on us. I wanted a small, pocket-sized, point & shoot camera with a BIG zoom and decent megapixel (MP) resolution. At the time I purchased this camera (from Best Buy), it was one of the few digital point & shoots that had an optical zoom over 12x. The 20x zoom on this camera is what sold me the most. However, I still read reviews on this camera, but few talked about slow shutter and focus speed, or constant photo blurring, but instead most bad reviews said the camera "whined." Not sure what those persons are talking about (no whining on my SX260). Instead, here are my problems with this junker camera:- Errant auto focus (focuses not on what you're shooting at, but typically the thing behind what you're trying to shoot);- Slow shutter speed (yes, I know this is adjustable, but God help you if you try any of the auto settings);- Slow re-shoot time (even in rapid sequence or sports motion modes, you are going to experience a lag causing missed/blurred shots);- Light sensor inadequate (if you are shooting anywhere near sunrise/sunset where the light is "dim" or even indoors with flourescent lighting, you are going to get either blurry or yellow photos...or both. Doesn't matter how much you change the camera settings);- Flash (Terrible position on camera body, slow to function due to awful light sensor, has a yellow tint to it on most photos, and when it does work correctly, it still only creates "okay" photos vice "great");We took this camera to an indoor birthday party for our 7 year old son and ALL of the photos of that memorable day are HORRIBLE! Luckily for us, several of our friends took pictures of our Son and the party on their iPhones and cell phone cameras and they came out AWESOME!Recommend those who want good photos to avoid this camera at all costs...

I ordered this camera for a trip on the Trans-Siberian railway. I primarily own Canons, so unfortunately did not take the time to try out the camera before my trip as the menu is was similar to all my other Canons. The first red flag should have been the European charging plug (with an American adapter). One week into my trip, the camera simply stopped turning on. The light came on with a grinding noise, but the lens would not extend.I spent a full day frantically searching for a camera store in Mongolia and was forced to buy another camera. Okay, perhaps I just got a lemon. It happens. But here's where it gets bad: I contacted my seller (Ritz Camera) to ask for a replacement, but apparently I missed my window for returns. They suggested I use my 1 year warranty with Canon. So I contact Canon, and sent my camera to their factory repair in California. A week later the camera was returned with a note: "We are unable to repair your camera as this model was not intended for sale the US" (??!!!!???) I was floored. I bought the camera from Amazon (through a third party seller), new, under the assumption I would have a valid one year warranty. I contacted the seller multiple times, but to no avail. I continually received the "you are past your returnable date" party line.Over the next couple months, I continued to file claims, repeal their denials etc. Ultimately Amazon was able to get someone at Ritz Camera to agree to accept the return and I got my money back. It certainly wasn't easy, and took A LOT of my time on the phone and through emails.I have no idea if this was an issue with Amazon, the seller, or the camera in general. But it definitely was not worth the disappointment of the camera breaking in another country, having to spend the money (and time!) on vacation to buy another one and fight about it for months with the sellers because "This camera was not intended for sale in the US".

I have had this camera for over a year now and didn't feel I should write a review until I had used it enough to get a good sense of it. It takes good pictures and is fairly easy to use. I'm just a casual user who prefers to point and shoot, not interested in being a professional photographer. I tend to not use most of the special features of the camera, but at least they are there if I want them. I did accidentally discover the Movie Digest setting, which turned out to be pretty cool. I didn't realize the setting had gotten bumped to that and to my surprise when I went to play back the pictures I had taken at a concert, I had gotten a little movie with clips from various parts of the concert where I had taken a still picture. I knew the camera had some sort of feature like that but had never investigated it. A neat feature that I will use again.Other features that I like are the size of the screen, the 20x zoom and the wide angle lens.The only cons I can think of are 1) it has a proprietary battery, which I knew when I purchased it and debated about, but so far it hasn't been too much of a problem since I try to keep it charged knowing that I can't simply put in new disposable batteries in a pinch, and 2) the flash is a bit awkward, as it suddenly pops up when needed, right where your finger is. I've learned to expect it and have gotten used to it but it never fails to surprise someone else when I have them take a picture for me. It's kind of like when the Jack-In-The-Box pops up, lol. The placement could've been better for sure but it is not a deal breaker for me.

This camera came with everything except the software CD. But I don't really care since I never use that crap software they always stick with cameras anyway.Strangely, this camera also came with a continental European plug-type power cord for the charger. There is also a North American plug-type, so no worries. However, the North American cord is only an inch in length, which is really annoying because most outlets are not going to be right against the floor or table, which means you'll have to sit the camera on top of books or something to be able to charge it. The continental european cord is 5 inches long, which makes me think it's the original cord that belongs to this camera and they just stuck a really cheap and really short US cord in the box in addition.The camera itself is in mint condition and works great. It's been several years since I last updated my camera so this is exactly the kind of camera I wanted, minus the horribly short US power cord. I might try to find a longer power cord to buy for the charger. It's ridiculous to have such a short cord. It's going to be really inconvenient for traveling. Search for "figure 8 power cord" to find longer cords for just $3.Camera has literally zero built-in memory, so don't forget to buy a memory card! My old camera had 15MB built-in memory, which was enough for about 5 pictures. This camera won't save any pictures at all without a memory card inserted.The popup flash is kinda annoying since my finger is often grasping the camera in that location, but I suppose I'll get used to it eventually.I haven't played with the different settings yet, but just taking some pictures fresh out of the box, it's a decent camera with high-def pics. I'm not very impressed with its video quality, but hey I intend to use it as a camera, not a camcorder, so I don't care.

I bought this camera as a backup for my S100, which has worked very well. The main points I were interested in were a better zoom ( the S100 has only 5X), and the SX's ability to stitch photos into a panorama. The SX is slightly larger and heavier than my S100, but not much. The SX260 has very good zoom, and even at 80X it is clear, though at this magnitude it needs to be put on a tripod for stability. The bad point is the video. There is a constant low level noise, and when I use the zoom during filming, the audio records the clicking of the lens movement also. This is irritating enough for me not to want to use the video, unless I really have to. The bottom line is, if you want a pocketable Canon which is reasonably priced, has good ( noiseless) video, and are not concerned about zoom, I'd go for the S100. I would absolutely NOT buy the SX260 if you want good quality video. If you want a less expensive (I paid $188), camera for still pictures, with great zoom, that fits in your pocket, I'd look at the S260.

I have had the camera for over a year and have had no problems with it. I have taken over a thousand pictures with it in a variety of lighting conditions. I like the size and ease of use. Indoors with existing light leaves something to be desired as slow shutter speed causes subjects to be blurred quite often. Outdoors in daylight is fine. There is also a shutter lag with flash indoors so if you are taking pictures with fast moving kids or animals multiple shots are required to get a good picture. GPS is somewhat iffy. I have had it lock on quickly in cities with tall buildings and fail in open spaces where you would think it would have no problem. It normally does a very good job of exposure and focus. It is better than most phone cameras and not as good as medium priced SLRs. I like it because it fits easily in shirt pocket, has good zoom range, and pictures are sharp with good definition.The pop up flash is in an awkward position, but I normally try to do existing light most of the time. It is the camera I carry around withe me most of the time. I use DSLR for high quality and phone camera for grab shots when I don't have anything else on hand.

I've been purchasing Canon Powershots for probably 10 years. This is my favorite Powershot for vacations ever.2 primary reasons:1) The massive zoomIt allows me to take shots that were impossible with my earlier Canons point and shoots. This, plus the size is still reasonably small enough. Smaller would always be better.#1 would have been enough.(#1 plus all the other features the powershots have always given me, including image stabilization with the newer ones)2) The integrated GPS logging.What a kick this is.Looking at the visual logs with the integrated software helps us relive vacation and remember our path each day.I prefer the way Canon geotags vs how Google Locations does it via my Samsung Note 2 device with location services turned on.Other Pro's to me: Features that this camera does NOT havea) no touch screenI don't need a touch screen on my camera. I do NOT want the extra weight and extra battery drain that a touch screen creates.b) WiFiagain, don't need itdon't want the extra cost of the WiFi radio inside the camera. Taking out the card or plugging in the cable when I get back home is simple enough.I purchased 2 of these on Black Friday, November 2012, from Best Buy for $199, and then 6 extra NB-6L batteries from Amazon.These performed great during our European Christmas market vacation in 2012.As of August 2013, this is still best of class. From reading the Amazon reviews of the newer 280hs, that newer model still has a battery drain problem that Canon has not corrected. Even if they had, i did a side by side compare at B&H photo in New York City last week of the 260hs vs 280hs. The size of the 280 is almost the same. The only reason why I'd upgrade is if they shrunk the 260hs.However, the good news for new purchasers is maybe since a newer model came out, Canon and Best Buy will discount the 260hs further for Black Friday 2013.As of today's writing (August 2013) it's still $249 on Amazon.com.

I had used an ELPH 300HS for years and was always amazed at how great the pictures were considering how little I know about photography and how much I simply relied on the Auto settings. After I dropped it one day and gave it a concussion, my wife suggested that if I wanted to, I should spend a little more money this time and really get the camera I wanted. She didn't have to tell me twice ! I just assumed that since the ELPH 300 was so good, spending more on another Canon would be even better and the 20X zoom was 4 times that of the previous 300HS, how could I go wrong. Strange as it seems, I just didn't think the pictures were that good, or as good as the older less expensive 300HS. I took pictures of our yard and compared them to the same exact shots from before and I just didn't think they were as good. Ultimately I found the next generation of the original 300HS, the 330HS and bought it. I took the same shots of the yard and sure enough, they were much better than the SX260. Granted, these were taken in the Auto mode but since they all were, it was a decent comparison. The 300 & 330HS also had a slightly wider lens than the SX260. The 330HS while equipped with only half the zoom range of the SX260, still had twice the zoom range of the 300HS so I'm happy with it.
