The PowerShot A560 gives you the freedom to shoot high resolution images you can enlarge, crop and print – big. With its 7.1-megapixel CCD, the camera records every detail – like a baby’s delicate curls – in razor-sharp, astonishingly clear, natural color that will make every picture something to cherish. And the A560 is equipped with a high-quality Canon 4x optical zoom lens that brings you in close at the touch of a button. So you can capture special moments like a child’s first homerun with clarity and brilliance—even if you’re sitting in the bleachers.

Imaging ResourceIf you have just a little more money, you might consider the A570 IS, which adds a few higher-end features from the ELPH series in about the same form factor, as well as an image-stabilized lens for sharper shots under dim lighting. If you’re just looking for a simple, good-performing digital camera to get started with though, the Canon A560 is hard to beat. |

What Digital CameraImages produced by the A560 are hard to fault and undoubtedly the best in this group tested: bursting with detail and a displaying a fantastic dynamic range, while maintaining great edge and corner-detail and showing minimal fringing – another fine compact for Canon to be proud of. |

Steve's DigicamsThat said, I feel this will make a great camera for kids going off to collage, proud parents (or grandparents), or the eBay junkie of the family, etc. |

Cameras.co.ukThere 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. |

Good Gear GuideAnother strong entry into the compact camera market by Canon, the A560 produces similarly high quality pictures to its sister model, the A550, and this time around they have packed in Face Detect, which will be a big selling point for some users. |

The Sidney Morning HeraldIt may look chunky, but the A560’s design makes it very comfortable to hold. It’s also a really easy camera to operate – buttons are well placed and menus are intuitive – just right for simple point-and-shoot operation. Images are warm and clear and a 4X optical zoom gives you slightly more than most cameras in its class. |
