 Cannon Camera October 24, 2008

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 October 20, 2008
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.
Overall for the first time users this is a good deal for a good camera.
Good value, some shortcomings September 26, 2008
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 (*optical* zoom, not digital). Standing across the room and doing incremental zoom steps on some object, I found that the higher the zoom, the more blurred the image was - not always, but often. This should not happen. It is clearly a focusing issue, not a question of resolution. But the kids have not had any complaints. It appears to be just right for their level of use, and that's what I recommend it for.
Perfect Starter September 16, 2008
This was my first digital camera and some of my main concerns were durability and cost. I was getting ready to go to Australia for 4 months and didn't want to spend too much and chance losing or breaking an expensive camera. So far, one month into my travels, I am very pleased with my purchase. I have dropped the camera onto cement from about 2 feet and it shows no sign of trouble. I find the 5.0 MP plenty and I get good color and clarity. A viewfinder was a must for me, since I knew outdoor photos in the sun were going to be a large part of my collection. There are many times when the sun makes it impossible to see what you are shooting and having the optical viewfinder is great!
I haven't spent too much time experimenting with all the many features, and there are lots, but I have used the macro and taken some spectacular inches-away shots! I have also used the video feature which is fun.
I can't recall if the instructions say to use lithium batteries, but I went through 10 regular batteries before going to lithium and find it a must.
Overall, I love this little camera!
like the viewfinder August 20, 2008
This is actually a replacement for one that I dropped in a river. I liked it enough to get an identical one. It is an inexpensive camera useful for activities (like river kayaking) that expose it to damage. A lot of cameras are leaving off the viewfinder. I find that with it, I can compose pictures better, especially in bright light, saves on battery power and is ready sooner after powering up (which also saves on batteries). If it were more water resistant, it would get the extra star.
