I got a new camera for a trip i’m taking this summer. It is a Canon A560. Overall I’m very pleased with it. I’m a big fan of the A series, I have owned an A60 for a few years now and it has been a good camera. The 560 has been pretty much everything I expected and more. Very easy to use and maintains the same basic control setup as the old A series. Turns on 2x as fast as my old one, holds 2 less batteries, 3x as large screen, 2.5x the megapixel. I look forward to using it some more! I was particularly impressed with the macro mode. I snapped a photo of a penny just playing around and was stunned how sharp it came out.
