Canon PowerShot A560 7.1MP Digital Camera with 4x Optical Zoom - 1774B001

Fabulous!

This camera is perfect for someone who wants to take high quality pictures but does not need all of the extra technology. The camera has a lot of really cool features (self timer, black and white shots and sepia shots) and is super easy to use! I fully recommend it! However, make sure you buy rechargeable batteries and a charger- this camera does tend to suck up battery life pretty quick!

why even have a macro button?

This is a usable camera with a nice zoom feature and impressive battery life.

Pros: The finished photos never have any jaggies, the interval between one picture and the next is very quick.

Cons: What would have been a beautiful swan of a camera broke out of its shell way too soon. It has a portrait setting that works well enough, but the macro feature is completely useless. If you are doing anything artsy and with photography, this is not your camera.

The wobble-sensor is always activated, even when the camera is set on a flat surface. You will not be able to capture detailed textures with this camera.

Great camera for reasonable price.

Just got back from vacation and am totally satisfied with how this camera performed. One set of rechargeable batteries that we didn't have to recharge and one memory card lasted a whole week of movies and video shots. We lost our first digital camera and I am so glad. This performs so much better. Larger view screen for both taking and viewing pictures, love the zoom, quicker shutter speed so we didn't miss the dolphin shots, small enough for a pocket or purse. Targus DCCP00 Small Camera Case fits perfectly and has handy strap or belt loop. Sony Quick Battery Charger with 4 AA Ni-MH Rechargeable Batteries works well with this camera as well.

Love It!!!!!!!

I love this Camera, it takes wonderful pictures. The only down side is that you always need an extra set of batteries, because they don't last long. I keep rechargeable batteries with me when I know I will be taking alot of pictures. Other than that, the camera is easy to use. I would surely recommend it to anyone.

love this camera

I guess everyone loves the camera they spent so much money on - and I LOVE this camera. The pictures are much better than our old camera. It's easy to use and hold. I have NEVER gotten good pictures of my 4 year-old - I do now! I'm thinking about using this camera and figuring out how to take studio quality pictures at home.
