I purchased this camera just over a week ago and I am extremely pleased that I did. Having been disappointed with the results of other cameras in this price bracket I really am impressed with with the A560. For sheer picture quality I haven't seen better in the £100 and under range, and the video capability is also very good though the sound is a little 'tinny'. Very simple to use straight out of the box.
Only a couple of niggles which is why I didn't rate this camera as five stars: 1. Low battery sign very soon after installing new batteries, though camera keeps taking pictures 2. Lovely large LCD but it is grainy and you really need the viewfinder in bright sunlight 3. A camera case would have been nice but really at this price I guess thats pushing it.
All in all if you are confused by the huge amount of cameras out there and really don't know what to go for, I would recommend this one. It may have less features than some, and it is larger and less attractive than many but for picture results I feel its excellent.

I had only had this camera for four months, and when I turned it on to take a picture, the viewing screen was all shattered. I was baffled because I didn't drop it and nothing had happened that would have caused that. I assumed it would be fixed under the one-year warranty, and when I shipped it back to be serviced by Canon, they had the nerve to tell me that it was my fault the screen was broken and I would have to pay $110 to fix it. When I asked to speak to a manager, the best he could do was offer to take 50% off my repair bill. I was furious, I did nothing to this camera, and was not going to pay a penny to have it fixed. I had a Kodak for five years and never had a problem with it!! I will NEVER buy anything from Canon again. This should not have happened to a NEW camera.!!

I have two Canon digi cameras. Canon A 590 and A 560. 30 pound odd different buy A590 and you can not go wrong. A560 is OK but no good at all for close up and macro. This A560 has average image quality but A 590 has its own class ... clearly the winner is A590. A570 A580 and A590 all are better than A560. Last year I bought A570 and immage sharpness was the best. Not much price different among them ... then go for A590IS.(Battery life for 560 is A+ )

I like this camera a lot. Some of the positives are:
1. it works with SDHC of 8 GB. I can take video clips of long durations,
2. the image stablizing feature is very good for shooting video,
3. it takes good video without the need of additional lighting even at night,
4. the 4X optical zoom comes in handy in many occasions.
Some improvements needed:
It would be nice if the camera could recharge the flash and write to memory card in less time.
I would recommend this product without reservations.

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!

I just bought this a560 for my son for christmas, i have been trying it out all day today on and off. I put in new freshly charged batteries that I use in my camera and new regular batteries right out of the package and it keeps telling me to replace batteries. I even took the batteries out of my camera which are working fine and in this camera it came up to replace them. I also find after taking a picture it takes awhile to be able to take another one. it's so slow for the camera to be ready to take another picture. I have the Canon A630 which is bigger and heavier, takes 4 batteries,and I really like that camera, batteries last along time in that. I know my son wouldn't want that big of a camera so decided on this one since all reviews I read were really good. I think maybe I just got a dud, will definitely bring back, maybe I have a setting wrong but I basically just put batteries and card in and starting taking pictures just to see how it worked, not sure if I'll exchange for another or some other kind, looking for something like this or smaller but not big money, maybe $150 or under. any suggestions, let me know or if I should be changing some kind of setting. I will definitely give it another try tomorrow with more new batteries.

I selected this camera based on other reviews and it's advertised 'macro' ability. I'm really pleased with it's performance. Economical and user friendly for general photography and the macro ability lets me take photos of my craft work for display on websites and for emails easily.

This is the first digital camera I've ever owned. I'm no mental giant when it comes to electronics so I've been very hesitant but I'm glad that I discovered this camera. It's lightweight but still feels like you have hold of something. The panel on the back is great, clear, nice large size, using it just comes naturally and I had worried how natural that would feel. The pictures are very clear even when they look like they might not be on the LCD screen. I use the auto mode only so far and have not tried to use the movie mode yet either. My fear is gone, I've screwed nothing up on it accidentally (or intentionally), the images are so clear that even my brother who's degree is photo journalism is impressed, transferring from camera to computer was easy. The price was the lowest anywhere even looking at sale prices elsewhere online. It's like the Wii of digital cameras to me, anyone could pick it up, use it pretty instinctually within minutes and enjoy it. It does feel a little cramped because of the somewhat compact size, I like the feel of bigger cameras, but this one is still easy to recommend.

My Panasonic Lumix died on vacation, I needed a small camera that took an SD card and either the same battery as the Lumix or AA batteries. I took it out of the box and went hiking and was impressed by the ease of use and the AWESOME macros it took. The only drawback is that it does not have Image Stabilization which is makes for a few fuzzy photos when zooming in of a moving thing like an eagle flying or waterfall at a distance...you have to be VERY steady or use a tripod for those shots. All-in-all, I would NOT go back to the Lumix because it had no viewfinder and in full sun you could not see what you were shooting and it had issues with darkness like in museums (exposure issue). I would recommend this camera to the individual looking for a small size, easy-to-use general user who takes a lot of people photos because of the "face recognition" feature to aid in focusing. It is best at macros, absolutely top notch for the person who wants to take photos of flowers or bugs or tiny things. It gives photos a yellow/orange tinge at night indoors under low incandescent lighting which can be adjusted with software. I have looked many months before for a camera and have not found a digital camera that is a better value than the Canon PowerShot a560 camera for the general purpose user that uses SD cards. It is quick to take the shot and with a high quality (fast) SD card, it writes to disk quickly (meaning you press the button and you will not likely miss the shot if you've got a steady hand). For sports shots or moving subjects, I might recommend a camera with a sports shot mode to freeze the subject and with Image Stabilization.

I bought this camera for my daughter. She loves it. It has some neat features such as scene settings to use at the beach, fireworks, aquarium etc. It is a feature packed camera that a kid can manage and it was a great price too! Thanks Amazon.

I am very happy with this camera. I have always purchased more expensive cameras and been pleased with them but this little camera is the great. Easy to use and it takes exceptional photos, with many features found only on more expensive cameras.... all this and it takes videos. Light weight and small, I can take it with me everywhere I go.... a great camera at a inexpensive price!

Generally a great little camera - but has a few flaws worth noting.
On the positive side - nice large screen - easy to navigate since the settings show up on the screen as you scroll through them [i.e. portrait, night shot, landscape, automatic, flash/no flash etc]. Does great daytime shots and flash - easy to flip from shoot mode to scrolling at images you've already taken - easy to upload - and most of all, shoots an excellent super high resolution image if you need shots that are print quality at large size. Best to have a 2 or 4g memory chip for this purpose.
However it is a little slow to focus and does not do well in low light. Gets very grainy, out of focus, and does not pick up on existing light well at all.
Love it as an every day camera to drop in my purse, but does not live up to professional standards.
Haven't tried other lenses on it yet - some of the canon powershots do take macro lenses etc - not sure if this one will do that yet.

This is a very good camera. It is slow on the flash, and seems to run through batteries rapidly(rechargable 2500mAh Nickle-metal hydride), but I was easily able to capture the face of a penny only 2 inches from it. The date and mint mark were clearly visible! That's a difficult feature to find. To test the optical zoom, I sat back from my desk and took a picture of the periodic table on the wall. It captured each letter clearly on a single cell! I also managed a crystal clear picture of a single flower on a nightgown hanging up across the room. As a geology major, both close up and distance details are very important to be able to get. The image stabilizer makes this camera amazing. I never got clear shots on high zoom so clearly on my old camera! Can't wait to get this camera out in the field next week.

Bought to replace an old sony cyber shot- good price - too many to choose from really:
pros: price competitive, 4x optical zoom, crisp pictures as expected, nice macro function for taking pictures of small things,
cons: batteries (non rechargeable), a bit clunky looking (not a sexy thing),
Does need larger memory card - so annoying to have to fish around amazon to find on that actually comes from amazon (ie not marketplace), which though more expensive will be delivered together and free.
Can anyone recommend a good rechargeable battery option?

A++++ product. I purchased this product the day before Thanksgiving and got it on the Saturday after. Shipping could not have been faster. It is so easy to use and the pictures are great. I'm constantly taking pictures and downloading them are fast and easy. I recommend buying a larger media card (comes with a 16M card) when you buy the camera because you'll find yourself taking picture after picture after picture.

Fool me once, shame on you, fool me twice shame on me.
Like many I had tons of problems with the Canon A520. See my review.
So I am getting ready to go on vacation again, India this time, and I need to replace the second A520 that decided to quit working. I went to my local big box electronics store to find a new camera. I spent about 2 hours looking at all the contenders. I loath using the LCD to take a picture, leftover from years of using real cameras I guess. So the field is very limited now. Why??? Some nice camera out there but...
I gravitate to the Canons. I have used the A20 and A520 so the A560 feels comfortable and familiar, and my wife won't have to learn a new system. Canon also just seems more intuitive in its controls. But I think the lens looks like the one on my piece of garbage A520, but Canon must have fixed the pervasive problem, wouldn't they?
I get home and take tons of worthless pictures, turning the camera on and off a lot, just to see if it guits working. This time before I reach a foreign country where getting a replacement is expensive. Camera seems okay. A few days later my beautiful Golden Retriever strikes a stunning pose on our first nice spring day and I grab the camera and snap a shot. @^#%&*@%$ The damn lens cover doesn't open all the way and I miss the shot. Just one time so far but that's how the A520 started. I plan to take it back today.
I have been a Canon user for 36 years and I am so pi**ed.
I agree with other reviewer problems about slowness. I thought they worked this out too. I also wished they hadn't dropped the aperature and shutter priority exposure modes leaving the user very little control over camera. Obviously Canon is obviously aiming lower.
I am probably going to get a Nikon. Oh the blasphemy to Canon user.

I recently came back from our vacation where I took a lot of pictures. I highly recommend this camera. There were no blurry pictures and I even took some shots through the car window. It's easy to use and it's great being able to zoom in closer. We even dropped the camera on a hike and it's fine, other than some minor scratches. Also, it doesn't ever take red eye shots.

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.

I bought this camera as a birthday present for my wife. She wanted a point-and-shoot digital camera, and the A560 fit the bill.
The good: Big screen -- it's huge compared to many, and very clear. It's easy to use -- easy to use and understand controls, the zoom is in a great place, and the camera is shaped such that it was easy to hold and shoot. It takes 2 "AA" batteries, which is great since they're available everywhere in a pinch, and rechargeable batteries are cheap. Most importantly, the pictures look great.
The downsides: The camera's battery life is okay, but not outstanding, which is probably to be expected in AA batteries. The camera does not come with a case, though Amazon will sell you a Canon case (which I bought) for under $10 at the time of writing. It comes with a memory card, but it's so small that I think they shouldn't bother. In low light, it was pretty slow to autofocus. Once I learn more about the camera, I may be able to get around this. The only average battery life and included accessories (or lack thereof) kept it from getting 5 stars. Both are easy to remedy -- carry spare batteries if you're doing heavy shooting, and buy a case and card(s).
As an aside, while the camera comes with a CD for Windows and Mac, it's not necessary to install the software. I use Debian Linux at home, and even though it's not listed as supported in the manual, I had no trouble retrieving pictures from the camera.
I would definitely buy this again.

I chose this camera because of the combination of features and price and I haven't been disappointed.
Pros:
High quality lens (compared to other similarly priced cameras)
Multiple settings for various scenarios
Large LCD screen to view pictures
Long battery life
Good flash power and brightness
Uses SD media--cheap and reliable
Doesn't require software to be installed on computer to be used
Cons:
Takes awhile to "recharge" after taking a picture (it takes a couple seconds to be ready to snap again)
I'm not overly fond of the battery/SD card slot cover. I am very careful with it as it seems somewhat fragile.
I wish it came with a case of some type.

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.

The is a wonderful camera. Clear pictures and video. The dial feature makes the selection easy and using features in manual mode are also easy. I started right away without reading the manual. Flash is strong. Indoor pictures are also good at default selection. Using high ISO gives grany pictures and zooming in video mode also gives squares. Make videos without zooming then its ok. Macro mode helps taking good close ups.
Use rechargeable batteries. The batteries that come with the camera or normal batteries do not last. The price ($126) is a bargain as this camera is still sold for $149 at many stores. Canon CBK4-200 battery charger with 4 rechargeable batteries is also a great product and I would recommend to buy this. I am using a 2GB chip and it gives me ~1800 pictures at best settings and I can also make long duration videos.

I got this camera for my father because he was all the time catching trophy fish and releasing them with no photo! Love the optical view finder... a must on a bright sunny day on the lake with a lot of glare. My folks are retired and travel a lot. This camera takes such nice photos that they often leave home mom's S3 IS and only take this camera because it is small and light!
