Canon PowerShot A560 Digital Camera Review

Before the birth of our first child, I bought a Polaroid digital camera on sale.  I had a Canon, but wanted more megapixels.  That was a big mistake!  The Polaroid camera took awful pictures and was slow to reload. 

When our son was only 2 months old, we decided to again buy a new camera since the other one was so awful.  We did not want to spend a lot of money, but wanted quality.  Our first Canon was such a good camera, that we decided to go that route again.  We purchased the A560.  With 4x optical zoom and 7.1 megapixels, it is a great camera!  I love the quality of the photos and how quickly it resets for the next picture.  We bought a 2 gig SD card for it, and have literally taken over 1,000 pictures and video.  As a matter of fact, we rarely get out our video camera any more because the videos from this camera are great!

In addition, the screen size is big, so you can easily review/show off your pictures.  It requires no special software and takes 2 AA batteries.  I have had no trouble with batteries running low quickly.
