Excellent Point and Shoot,
I’ve had various point and shoots over the last 5 years (mostly Canon and Olympus). After selling my old Olympus SP-350 – I purchased a Canon Rebel XT (DSLR). However, I do a lot of family shoots (birthdays, events, etc…) and didn’t want to lug a DSLR around just to take some shots for the grandparents. So I got this little camera. So far, I am *VERY* impressed with it. The Canon A560 takes amazing photos and the number of features are crazy (compared to my past Point and Shoots). Like any other P&S it is a little slow when using the flash – but a LOT faster than my previous P&S. I have taken over 50 photos (about 4 hours worth) and I’m on the original AA batteries that came with the camera!!! My old P&S would suck up 4 AAs (The A560 uses 2 AAs) in less than an hour of shooting. The LCD screen is HUGE. This camera is definitely a keeper. Would recommend this to anyone.
My sister bought this exact camera and loves it.

|Canon knows digital,
Although my “big” camera is a Canon, I went through several cameras before finding this wonderful gem. I was very fond of my seriously outdated Nikon Coolpix, so I tried a new one – every shot was blurry, and I have a very steady hand (years of taking low-light and no-flash shots). I moved on to a Panasonic due to the many features, including awesome 6x zoom and a very handy “backlight” option. But the noise, even on as little as ISO 200, was unacceptable. Took a shot at the GE850 with even more features, but found a harsh flash and odd color.
Exasperated with the point-and-shoot market, I finally returned to Canon and decided on the 560. I couldn’t be happier! It may not have the highest optical zoom, or the most formats (it makes up for the lack of 3:2 with an overlay that allows you to compose a shot within a 3:2 grid, excellent!), or the most modes (although several of the modes on other brands are so specialized – silly even – that they are worthless). But it has what counts – the most-used settings up front on the dial, excellent color representation, the least flash-fallout of any I tried, and exceptional quality even without image stabilization. And unlike the GE, the face recognition works on pets 🙂 This camera does have a Manual setting that allows customized white balance, metering, color options, and exposure compensation.
I will not be trading this one in!
