What Others Say
Great Camera for the Price
This really is a great camera for the price. It may not have all the features of a camera a few dollars more, but definitely manages to get the job done with quality
Good camera
This camera is easy to use. It was a purchase for our 18 year old son. The memory card was small so we upgraded to a larger one. Easy to load pics into iphoto. Recommend to anyone who needs a simple and good digital camera.
Cannon Camera
Canon PowerShot A560 7.1MP Digital Camera with 4x Optical Zoom ( I think this is the one) I returned it as I didn't like it at all. It seems very cheaply made and had AA Batteries, which I also didn't like.
Great Little Camera
This is my first digital camera. I've been hard pressed to give up my 35mm camera ways. This little camera is simple to use. Instructions are easy to follow. Picture quality is fairly sharp. The best part about it is that it is handy, easy to take along and lightweight...beats lugging all the 35mm stuff when all you want to do is snap a couple of quick pictures. The other thing I love which has less to do with the camera but more to do with the technology is the fact that I now don't have to print a bunch of photos that I don't want. I can print just the shots that I want and delete the rest.
The one downfall to the package is the memory card has very limited space so you'll need to upgrade that really quickly.
Good value, some shortcomings
I bought this camera at Christmas for my kids (12-year-old daughter likes to do "KidTV" videos with friends; 9-year-old son makes stop-motion and live videos of Lego etc. for YouTube). I got it partly because my Canon A95, which in all other respects I *love*, only does 30-second videos; and partly because I got tired of copying VHS-C tapes for them. :-) I picked this model for its combination of price and Canon quality. It has been very useful. Basic modes are very simple to use. The kids have not really explored many of the other options. Image quality is generally excellent. However, early on I did some testing and found that, in addition to the high noise at even low-ish light levels that others have reported, it has some trouble focusing when zoomed ... Read More
