Compare Prices : Canon PowerShot A560 - Expert Reviews

Pros: Brilliantly low noise, Great colour, Speedy, Face Detect

Cons: Pictures a little on the soft side, Some haloing, Burst mode not quite on par with other models

Verdict: Another 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.

Review summary: The 7.1 megapixel PowerShot A560 includes nearly all of the imaging advances of the PowerShot A570 IS digital camera. Like its image stabilized A-series sibling, the A560 digital camera features a smooth 4x (35mm-140mm equivalent) zoom lens and a ...

Review summary: Has great features but needs more polishing

Pros: Effective manual control, Very Responsive, Fast 4x Optical zoom

Cons: Slight color inaccuracy at times, Noise at higher ISO settings, Not very sharp at full resolution

Verdict: The MRP of Rs. 14,995 sounds a bit too drastic for a camera like A560, especially considering that the camera is available for under Rs. 11,000 abroad. We couldn't get a street price on this camera, because frankly its not that easily available on the ...

Pros: Picture quality

Cons: Shutter lag with flash on

Verdict: 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.

Review summary: With a chunky-but-comfortable design, 7-megapixel sensor and 4x optical zoom lens, the A560 is a solid budget camera. Quick performance and decent photos make it a strong choice for the price

Pros: Responsive performance ; slightly above-average lens

Cons: Images plagued with artefacts and fringing ; extremely noisy at high ISO settings

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