    Why we opted for Canon Our first digital camera served us well until I managed to leave it behind on holiday about seven years ago. We decided to replace it, and did some extensive research online. We were surprised to find that Canon digital cameras seemed, on the whole, to get the best reviews right across the board, at the time, whether looking at the simplest basic cameras or expensive semi-professional ones. We particularly liked the bright colours shown by Canon in many of the examples on comparison sites. Our wishlist for a camera included: - under £300 - small but not too light-weight ... more

    4 Stars Good Quality Memories 31/08/2007
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages good colour, high quality photos, good price

    Disadvantages Disadvantages delay in next photo

    As well as having my Kodak Z650 which has a high zoom I really wanted a camera which was less bulky and able to take on nights out with me. A family friend had a Canon Powershot camera and they recommended it to me a lot, I took a few pictures on it and actually quite liked it and the picture quality. It wasn't too big and apparently an ok price too so, off I went to Amazon's website to see their best offers. I looked up their range of Canon Powershot's and I swayed between the A550 and the model up the A560. After much consideration I opted for the A560 as it was a bit more expensive but ... more

    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages great pictures, quality build, easy to use, detailed instructions

    Disadvantages Disadvantages poor flash, shocking battery life, limited memory as standard

    Canon quality is worth splashing out a litle mor ethan normal and I had no hesitation when it came to replacing my Kodak EasyShare in switching make and model and opting for the PowerShot A560 despite the difference in prices. A bit of searching around enabled me to pick up the A560 for only £112, with standard retailers asking in the region of £150. In the box came the camera, a nice strong and flexible wrist strap, the 16MB memory card, some batteries, an AV cable and a user manual that explained in graphic detail written in plain English every function of the camera. Ergonomically speaking ... more

    5 Stars Canon PowerShot A560 to capture our memorable moments 17/05/2009
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages many

    Disadvantages Disadvantages none

    A few days back i went to a electronics store where a couple of weeks we carried out special discounts on certain electronics products, so read a leaflet came into our possession. Obviously we were concerned only to purchase a small digital camera from being used to give my boys, so we should not purchase more than a specified amount and the car should not be complicated to use ... Upon arrival in ward specific we look around and the camera that had drawn our attention to the flyer there seemed little in its features and capabilities .... and in the end, even though we spent a little 'more ... more
