Opinion: I have A60 a few days and I must say that is what I try to find almost one year. I tested many ot them but A60 is almost the best if you look value for money.
16 Mb card is small but the prices goes down so I will buy one bigger.
Manual controls works great everything is very fast.
I bought A60 because is enough to store pictures in computer I no need to print it at all.
Good buy!!
Problems: Nothing at this time.
Opinion: What a nice little camera. And by that, I do mean little. The size is probably it's only drawback. What I appreciated about the A40 is it's size and feel to it. The A40 felt like a real camera while the A60 feels a little more toyish... it reminds me of the HP 620, or Fuji 2650.,.. both not very ergonomic & more like a brick of plastic.
Overall, the camera functions quite well and I am very happy with it. The image quality is up to par with even the best 2mp camera's, definatly a nice feature compared to most. There are a few small drawbacks to the camera, and all in all, I woiuld have prefered a camera the same size as the A40, buthey, what can you do?
A few of the nice features is the video mode. Although it has been reduced by five fps (Frames Per Second), I appreciate the fact that I can take up to 3 minutes of video, rather than the unsubstancial 30 seconds.
All in all, this is a nice little camera, definatly something I would consider giving to a family member as a gift. It's constructed well enough to be durable to even children (well, for the most part) and like the A40, has some heft to it.
A nice camera to say the least, and definatly worth the price-tag.
Problems: The size of the camera is one of it's only drawbacks. I have rather large hands (not huge mittens, but big enough to be a little uncomfortrable with this one). Another small drawback (like all digicams) is the fact that along bright borders, it draws an un-nessesary (sp?) dark trail.
Again, the size issue is brought up. Why? Mainly because in some of the photos, my finger was either covering the flash or optical viewfinder, not exactly a very ergonomic camera, unless it was made for people with very tiny hands (thinks back to Japan)along with the fact that in playback mode, it is incredibly hard to hear the audio in the video mode. When I transfered the video onto my computer, I turned up the speakers to high to compensate and nearly blew them away from the HUGE increase of volume. Not exactly a nice way to wake myself up in the afternoon.
All in all, there are very few problems with the camera, compared to most. In a few days, I will end up posting some photos for all who wish to view them.
Opinion: This is my first digital camera.
I like it and I made very nice photos using the A60.
Problems: This is a very smart camera, but I think the cover of the LCD screen must be replaced soon. (I hope this is replaceable)
I have been using it fo a week and there are some small stains on the screen. I am using it very carefully.

A foil (for Palms) solved the LCD problem. The screen got worse a little bit by using the foil.
Opinion: I've sold cameras for almost 4 years, and 4 years ago we were selling 2mp digi cams with full manual controls for a thousand dollars! This one has more features, much faster, and one fourth the cost. The menus are laid out very well. The feel is great no matter how big your hands are. It's meant for one hand operation, and the grip provides great handling. People want small, so every camera company has build smaller and smaller cameras. If you want a bigger camera, what can you do?? BUY the older model! I got my Canon EOS 10D two weeks ago, and this one is great for college parties where I can't lug around the monster 10D. I'm very happy it has a built in speaker, because most cameras in that price range DO NOT, but most canons do! yahoo! And full TV AV and M modes? WOW!! Batt. life on the A60 is really the best I've ever seen or sold, that takes AA batt., (with 1850mAh). 1.9 million pixels is PLENTY for printing! I've made a few 8x10, no problem! That's why I didn't spend more for the A70. I'm a pro photograher that was looking for a camera for parties etc. The Canon A60 is good for entry level up to simi-advanced.
Problems: The only thing I don't like is when I'm in the shooting mode, and in a menu, and when I take a pic, it doesn't go out of menu mode. You can see what your doing, but the transparent menu is still on screen, reminding you that you've adjusted the settings. Yes you can hit the menu button again, but I wish it did that as soon as you tap the shutter. Like the D30/60 10D. I wish the camera was a tad smaller to fit better in my pocket.
