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 little heavy for its size but not horribly heavy!! Does seem to run blurry for moving shots like children and pets.

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 moving 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.

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.

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 generally of bad quality after 200 ISO being only 7.1 megapixels. But all in all, it is a great camera.

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.

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 fantastic 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!

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!!!!!

Pros:
easy to use |
|
|
|
| Cons:
must hold very still when zoomed in I bought this camera last year, upgrading from a previous Canon Power Shot model that my husband and I bought in 2004. It's lightweight and easy to use. The menu is intuitive, although I sometimes have to look up functions I don't always use. It came with a simple "quick start" booklet, as well as a more complete small book, explaining all the features. The quality of the photos is excellent for the price of the camera. I have noticed that a tripod would be ideal when completely zoomed in, as photos come out blurry unless the camera is held absolutely still. I take my camera everywhere easily, as it doesn't take up much room in my purse. Transferring the photos to my computer is easy, which I then use on my blog and Flickr. The memory card that I purchased separately holds a lot of photos. I would recommend this camera model without hesitation.
