    Good For the Money

    By Faith  Sep 10, 2007 | 13 out of 16 found this Canon PowerShot A560 review helpful

    Pros: Great quality for darker rooms..

    Cons: Action Photo's run blurry

    Good: Great Flash!! Even indoors, the photo quality is pretty decent. You get a large LCD screen. Records video/audio which is a plus!!! I paid $149.00 which is definetely feesable. Small and compact. Great camera for a point & shoot. Bad: Is a litt...le heavy for its size but not horribly heavy!! Does seem to run blurry for moving shots like children and pets. Read more Less

    Canon A560

    By Yahoo! Shopping User  Nov 9, 2007 | 4 out of 6 found this Canon PowerShot A560 review helpful

    Pros: Good on batteries, Large LCD

    Cons: The advanced user manual could be better

    All in all this is a good camera the. The pictures have good contrast and color tone. The format of the on screen menus make using manual mode easier than most other digital cameras i've tried. The videos are smooth but you have to take care mo...ving the camera around since the microphone picks up everything. The built in speaker for playback is a very nice touch. In the 320 x 240 video mode you can record up to 47 minutes of video on a 1 gb memory card. Playback on a standard TV at this resoloution fairly decent (below VHS quality) but get a 4 gb card and record at 640 x 480. Read more Less

    Great camera for the price.

    By krazykid933  Nov 9, 2008 | 2 out of 2 found this Canon PowerShot A560 review helpful

    Pros: Compact, has a viewfinder, long shutter settings, adjustable ISO.

    Cons: Limited to it's features.

    This camera is a great choice for a point-and-shoot. It has many adjustable features including ISO and exposure. This isn't the best choice for the more experienced photographer. It isn't adjustable in normal shutter speeds and it is generall...y of bad quality after 200 ISO being only 7.1 megapixels. But all in all, it is a great camera. Read more Less

    LCD

    By Yahoo! Shopping User  Feb 29, 2008 | 2 out of 3 found this Canon PowerShot A560 review helpful

    Pros: Good Camera, till the LCD goes out

    Cons: LCD goes out and no way to get it fixed

    I bought a Canon digital camera about 2 1/2 yrs ago. It was a great camera to use. Although the LCD went out on it and I went to the canon website to see about getting it fixed and by this time it is not manufactured anymore. So I had to go and buy a... brand new camera. I don't know if it was the age of the camera or what. I didn't think that after having it over 2 yrs that it would break down so soon. I figured that if it is very well taken care of and properly handled, then nothing would happen to it. I wouldn't recommend this if this is going to happen to all their cameras. Read more Less

    Canon PowerShot A560 Digital Camera

    By kathypoopoo  Sep 24, 2008 | 1 out of 1 found this Canon PowerShot A560 review helpful

    Pros: Excellent Camera, excellent features.

    Cons: For me...pics are not as clear as I would like, and it dosen't leave the date stamp on the picture.

    I really love this camera, I don't know if it is me or the camera, but I can't seem to get all my pictures very clear. That is why I am online now and how I found this site, trying to see what I am doing wrong or what I can learn. The Online... support is excellent for this camera. When I do take a clear picture, it is excellent. My camera before this would let me leave the date on my picture so when I printed it out the date would be in the lower right corner, this camera won't let me do that. When I go to the menu for the date stamp option, it is blackened out in the list and it won't let me click on it. If anyone has any ideas on that let me know please. Overall if I had to buy another camera, I would buy this one again. I am really really happy with it. I just wish I could turn the date stamp off or on. Read more Less

    Love this camera

    By Yahoo! Shopping User  Aug 6, 2008 | 1 out of 1 found this Canon PowerShot A560 review helpful

    Pros: Easy to operate and beautiful photos

    Cons: Haven't found any yet

    I love this camera, consider it one of my very best investments. Batteries last forever, my first set lasted six months and I take a lot of pics and review the photos on the screen often. I love how easy it is to hold and handle. The features are fan...tastic even though I am a digital camera newbie and still discovering how to use them all. Everyone I know who sees or uses my Cannon is impressed. I feel like I got a lot of camera for a VERY reasonable price and I shopped around before purchasing. I would recommend this camera to any and everyone! Read more Less

    An Awesome buy!

    By Yahoo! Shopping User  Apr 4, 2008 | 1 out of 1 found this Canon PowerShot A560 review helpful

    Pros: Easy to use for beginners, images come out with great color and brightness, it records good videos

    Cons: Doesn't have a lot of options, is a bit slow when flash is off, is blurry when using special scenes w/o flash but NOTHINGS PERFECT!

    I had wanted a digital camera for the longest time! After going on a trip to Paris it was obvious that I couldn't live w/o taking pics! I finally got the Canon Powershot A560!!! I played around with it and found that it was pretty easy to use. I... print my pictures at a nearby Target and they come out beautiful! The colors were great and the quality of the image was the best. Some cons are that the camera is sort of slow without the flash and when the battery is close to dying it goes slow. When using the special features, the flash must be on and you have to be still to take a picture or else it comes out blurry. I would say that it's quite durable. I have dropped it on concrete and all that happened was that it was scratched. I recommend this product. It's great for beginners and amateur photographers. IT' AWESOME!!!!! Read more Less

    Canon A560

    By Yahoo! Shopping User  Feb 4, 2009

    Pros: Good image quality

    Cons: Shutter lag can be frustrating when taking pictures of kids and pets

    I got this camera a year ago and have taken 500-600 pictures with it. The performance is good and it still works good as new. I get less bad shots with this camera than the others I have used. The 4x zoom is nice and even works well with a bit of dig...ital zoom. I do find that even zoomed all the way out I often have to step back a bit to get my photo framed well. Some of the drawbacks are mostly due to the battery life. The battery icon will come on after only about two dozen photos. At this time it's important to have a spare pair of AA's for it. It will continue to take many pictures before the replace battery message comes on and it won't function. Once the icon starts flashing I noticed the real good performance begins to go down. The flash becomes dimmer, and recycle time between shots is slower. Even the shutter lag becomes longer which is barely tolerable even with fresh batteries. These are the only imperfections I find and are easy to overlook on a camera in this price range. It has more functions than I find to be useful. You can adjust the ISO, but the 800 and 1600 settings are quite grainy. Really it takes great pictures on full auto. I find the software a little hard to install and learn, but quite sufficient. I don't like the movie mode, it is high resolution, but it only sets the exposure when the movie begins, and not during the film. That does not take away from the quality of the still pictures it takes. It seems to be a better camera than the kodak, nikon, and most others. I do like my brother-in-law's sony though. I think this camera has been obsoleted by canon's later models which show potential to be as good or better. Read more Less
