Canon Powershot A-560 Overview
One of the best products introduced by the Canon Company, the Canon PowerShot A560 Digital Camera was first introduced in January 2007. It was one of the lower-end models in the A-series. It can also be termed as an up gradation of the older A550 model.
A recent comparison displayed on the Cool Gadgets website indicated the differences between the A560 and its predecessor A550 model. The new model A560 has a larger 2.5” LCD as against the 2.0” of A550. The face detection auto technology has been introduced now. The battery life is 10% longer now. A560 ISO sensitivity is 1600 whereas A550 had only 800. The red eye correction is made available in playback mode in A560.
The Canon A560 made good headway in the Best Digital Camera Reviews immediately after its introduction. The 7.1 mega pixel resolution and SDHC memory cards system contributed handsomely to this. The energy efficiency of A560 is one feature that makes it stand out among others. With high-capacity rechargeable AA NiMH batteries, you can take up to 1,400 shots with the LCD off or 550 with the LCD on, impressive numbers by any standard.
The zoom lens with a 35-140mm is a very attractive feature, easily besting the more common 3x zooms. Another challenging feature is the easy to set scene modes in the camera. The price is also quite competitive at around $200. Without doubt the camera could find a place among the best in terms of Digital Camera Prices.
