Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Canon PowerShot A560 7.1MP Digital Camera with 4x Optical Zoom
Customer Review: A little wonder
Summary: 5 Stars
This fine camaera is a little wonder that does everything you want a compact digital to do. 7 Megapixel and 4x optical zoom are enough for all but professional needs. Big bright view screen, and good sound recording for short video clips. In addition has the capacity for recording sound memo labels for individual photos, but the new little Samsung does this a little more easily. This Canon also seems to have excellent battery life, with either rechargable or disposable AA alkalines. Having a viewfinder as well as a viewscreen is a definite advantage in bright outdoor situations. It is my fourth digital camera, and I highly recommend it. (Previous digitals were Nikon, Sony, and Samsung, but this one's my favorite.)Customer Review: Great value!

OK, I'm married to an electronic engineer camera geek. He has more cameras than anyone should, and I'm not allowed to touch them. Taking pictures is a major operation for him, but he loves it. I bought this for myself, so that I would have a point and shoot camera in my handbag, ready to use. When it arrived, I thought I was going to lose it to him. He was fascinated by the quality and the ease of use. I like the viewfinder, which is clearer than his fancy camera's. This camera is smarter than I am, and the pictures are very sharp. The low price + free shipping and no tax was super. This is a wonderful all-around everyday use camera for anybody except a camera snob like my husband.Customer Review: Nice camera

The camera has performed well since I began using it. The 2 1/2 inch view screen really makes it easy to see what you are ready to take a picture of. I also like the ease with which one will know what mode you are using when in the SCN mode. You don't just have to remember what each icon means whether it be portrait, night mode, etc. The camera will also tell you in it's display so there is not question of that. The pictures are sharp and look good. The fact that it uses 2 AA batteries means it will be easy enough to get new batteries no matter where one may be. My experience has been a good one. This is a camera to seriously consider if it's one of those you are thinking about.Customer Review: Great little camera!

I have been wanting a new digital camera since I saw a friend's Canon A550. I did a lot of research and compared many features and prices, but chose the A560. I have noted great ease of use with all the features. Great red-eye reduction feature. Nice big 2.5" LCD screen. I have enjoyed using the video recording mode for my friends, and adding sound memo's to still pictures. Also, the variable timed shutter release, and multiple timed shots are great for family photo times. Though small, a neck strap would be nice to avoid accidents. The continuous face detection for AF makes it hard to take an out of focus picture. Overall, I think this is a great camera and a good value.Customer Review: Awesome performance for value...

Got this a few months ago, and it has not dissapointed - our last digi camera was an olympus and I was hesitant to switch brands as that served us for years (2.1 MP) - however, after reading reviews and talking to canon users, we went with this one for the 4X optical and 7.1MP. The face focusing technology is cool (a little creepy how the box follows faces) and ensures that your focus is on the person and not an object. One minor dissapointment was the 16 MB MMC card - literaly only holds 9 photos - might as well not include it and knock a couple of bucks off of the camera or give a bigger SD card (512 MB or so) for a few more since it is WORTHLESS.
