7.1 megapixels | 2.5" screen | 35 – 140 mm (4×)

One of a pair of 2007 7.1MP A series digital camersa boasting DIGIC III processors, Face Detection Technology and ISO 1600. The A560 is a fairly predictable upgrade to the entry-level A540, with the A570IS throwing optical image stabilization, full manual control and compatability with add-on lenses into the mix. Both cameras also sport 2.5-inch screens and 4x zooms.

Opinion: Takes good pictures after figuring out all the symbols and menues. Was disapointed that I couldnt make LCD screen brighter for daylight shots. Much to difficult for me to see screen on normaI bright day.I was going to take it back for that reason. My grandson said he woulld like a camera. Now he has one. Only $175 and worth it if you dont mind the dim screen (outdoors only). I'll let the 10 yr old figure out the manual for himself. He likes puzzles.

Problems: The battery door could be a lot better. Batteries can slide out when you open door. A release is better.

Wish it came with a compact carry case. Its hard to find one that fits just right.

Takes good 640x480 movies that consume memory fast

Opinion: Well.....the no manual settings for TV or AV.....sucks bigtime. The LCD is big, but has low resolution. Easy to use camera, with good video.

Opinion: This is one camera the will put all the others to shame, is it the best in the market,,??? no,,, far from it, but being able to purchase this camera for $123.99 from dell with free shipping and dropping couple of AA batteries, and start shooting with very decent resolution with the included SD memory card is a tremendous bargain.
This is one great package, full of futures, face detection technology etc. And Staples is promotoing it for $149.00 with 1GB SD memory card, it even comes with batteries.
I have been shooting with high end DSLR's and Compact digitals for over 10years now. This is one camera that I'm thinking of buying a few more at this price and storing it away, it will either become a classic or I will eventually use it when my current one breaks down.

Problems: none so far, close your eyes and buy this camera.
