Canon Powershot A560

 

There is a lot to like about the seven megapixel Canon Powershot A560. O.K. so it is too large for a pocket, but it makes up for that in terms of overall picture quality. It also possesses a slightly longer than standard zoom lens. Recommended.

Canon PowerShot A560 review

 

Canon's PowerShot A560 is a suitable big brother to the company's lower-end A550. Both models sport the same chunky-but-comfortable design, 7-megapixel sensor, and 4X optical zoom lens. The A560 distinguishes itself from the A550 (and justifies its...

Responsive performance; slightly above-average lens.

Images plagued with artifacts and fringing; extremely noisy at high ISO settings.

This camera's solid performance can help you forget that it doesn't have many bells or whistles.
