Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Canon PowerShot A560 7.1MP Digital Camera with 4x Optical Zoom
Customer Review: Great Buy, Great Camera
Summary: 5 Stars
I bought one of these for my 11-year old granddaughter. She found it easy to use and takes great pictures with it. It has also survived a number of drops from when her brothers borrowed it. It is fairly small and light, so it is easy to carry around, but it feels good in the hand. The LCD is bright and clear. The kids like to use the movie function to make movies in the back of the car on long trips. This uses up the batteries fairly fast--a new set every day on a trip--but it uses easy-to-get AA batteries, so we can get more when they are needed. It is a great "toy" for the kids, but the picture quality is also very, very good.Customer Review: Canon for Opto-Electronics

I'm a Nikon guy, but after working on Canon copiers for many years I chose a Canon digital camera because of their superior blend of optics, electronics, and ergonomics for the human mind. Canon always had great optics, but with their facility in designing easy to use, intuitive controls for photo-copiers, they have also developed a knack for menu driven electronic devices. This was a huge shock for me after taking only analog photos since 1965 and suddenly using the PowerShot. Although digital photography can never completely replace film-based photography, this camera will open a new world to anyone interested in trying one.Customer Review: Camera on the Go.

I LOVE this Camera. I bought it to use on my recent road trip to Mt. Rushmore, Yellowstone and the Grand Tetons. The camera took great photos, even the ones when we were riding down the road at 65-70mph. They were not blurred. I bought a 2 GB. chip for it, so even on the 7.1 setting I could still take over 1000 photos. It was nice to have the 4x zoom lens, that can actually go up to 16x.
Before the road trip, I took this to a ballgame, and was able to get better and closer shots of the players at bat, than my friends 35mm camera with a zoom lens.
I am very satisfied with this camera. And you can't beat the price.
Customer Review: Great deal!

This camera packs a lot in for the price. I bought this for my 9 year old daughter for Xmas. She has figured out how to take timed lapse photographs, how to take short movies, etc. She also figured out how to load the pictures to iPhoto all by herself. I'm impressed. What I like best about digital cameras for kids is they can experiment without having to waste money on developing. I know it seems like an expensive item for someone so young, but I really couldn't find anything that had a viewer and interfaced with Macintosh for much less and my older kids have an earlier version of this camera that they really enjoy.Customer Review: Great Camera!!

This is a great little camera. I purchased this one for my mother who hadn't used a digital camera before. I feel it is very easy to use for those who just want a simple point & shoot camera. I looked at several different brands out there and read all the ratings I could on them and always found my self going back to Canon as my first choice. It was a no brainer as I myself have the Canon PowerShot A75. I would love to upgrade to the A560 as it is a tad smaller and lighter in weight than my A75. Overall Canon had the BEST reviews out there on their products, you can't go wrong with this choice! GO FOR IT!
