Pros: Very good photo quality, lots of manual/creative control, inexpensive, 3x optical zoom, AA Batteries
Cons: red eye issues, minor image softness, rechargeable batteries and charger not included

The new Canon Powershot A60 is aimed at photographers who are looking for an entry level digicam that will allow even absolute beginners to shoot spectacular images. Canon’s engineers stuffed a raft load of fully automatic program and scene modes...

Pros: Versatile. Standard batteries, manual controls, relatively compact, takes good pictures, and on the cheap.
Cons: 3.5 second bootup time, plastic tripod thread.

Review title: [the] People's Camera, the Second. The following is in English, of course. Digital photography has a problem. Digital imaging technology has long since 'arrived'. That is, the research and manufacturing processes have matured ...

Pros: Excellent colors and photo quality, full manual controls
Cons: Flash doesn't throttle down well for macros, slightly softer images (not big deal).

Note Update – 5/2/03 I have updated the original. Hope this review will be useful in helping you all! I have added more information such as lens flare, graininess etc. P/S, I am STILL on the original bundled alkaline batteries so wow! 5...

Pros: manual settings, many shooting modes, optical zoom, picture quality
Cons: 2MP, fuziness of edges, particularly in landscapes, many modes and buttons can get confusing

I first discovered this camera when visiting my best friend in upstate NY. She had just bought one and I was immediately jealous that her 2 MP camera had so many more features than my 2 MP camera. Being ...

Pros: Good price to performance ratio, easy to use. Good image quality.
Cons: Shutter lag, flimsy output cover, plasticy body, poor daylight LCD performance.

The Canon A60 is a great 2 megapixel, entry level digital camera, for those who want extensive contr ...

Pros: Durable durable durable, inexpensive, solid performer
Cons: Last minute notice on the low battery warning

I know that this review is rather late (5 years, to be exact)...especially for electronic equipment that becomes obsolete so quickly. However, I feel so strongly about this camera, I just have to add my two cents. Hopefully this will come in ...

Pros: manual settings, picture quality, battery life, body ergonomics
Cons: nothing aside from general downfalls of the digital camera world!

My Kodak CX4230 finally bit the dust. (Read the updated review he re.)It was time to move on and buy something else. A friend of mine had just bought a Canon EOS 10D SLR digital camera at a local photography equipment ...

Pros: Great price~performance ratio, excellent image quality.
Cons: There is somewhat of a learning curve with the advanced controls.

Introduction:

I've been shopping for my second digital camera for nearly two years now. I was disappointed with my first (Kodak DC-215 Zoom) and decided to wait for the products to mature and the price point to come down. At one time, you...

Pros: Similar to the A70 but with less resolution
Cons: Bad (very bad) Experience with Canon Warranty Service

I pasted the text of this review from my review of the Canon A70, since the camera is very similar. About the only difference is the color of the grip and the maximum resolution available, as the A60 does not have the same capability in that area. ...

Pros: - inexpensive - AA batteries - crisp shots
Cons: - size - small zoom

My 3rd (of 4) Canon. My first camera was a Canon TX, a basic SLR film camera. I had a lot of fun with it in school (25 years ago!) and it took great pictures. Many years later, I replaced it with a Canon Rebel SLR film camera. Again, I had a lot of ...

Pros: Price, Features, Picture Quality, Movie Mode w/ sound, Ease of use
Cons: Shutter Speed, 2.0 Mega Pixels, 4 AA Batteries (get rechargies)

I bought this camera because i wanted the best entry level camera out there without breaking the piggy bank. I did a lot of searching, reviewing, and comparing other 2.0 Mega Pixel digital cameras. I came to conclude that the Cannon Powershot A60 was the ...

Pros: Image quality, lots of features, solid housing
Cons: Zoom control, price

I purchased this camera a few days ago so I cannot comment on the durability of it. However, everything has been working great up to this point.

Pros:

The first thing that struck me about the A60 was the compact size and look. The...

Pros: Features, price/value, battery life, takes excellent pictures.
Cons: Some have experienced jammed lens assemblies.

I'll admit it. I'm a feature junkie. A button pusher. I like to be able to tweak things to do what I want them to, and I strongly dislike being forced to accept the default settings. Many digital cameras (and the companies that produce them, ...

Pros: Image quality, ergonomics, manual controls, price.
Cons: None

Those of us who do what we think of as "serious" photography often find ourselves caught up in the quest for more and more megapixels. Is 4 enough? 5? 12? Certainly if you're trying to produce exhibition-quality 8x10s and 11x14s you need as many pixels ...

Pros: AA batteries, extended movie mode, Cheap compact flash cards.
Cons: heavy, bad flash, no timer, somewhat slow, intermediate learning curve.

Intro After getting stood up to go see Finding Nemo, I did what any guy would do to get his mind off it... I went digital camera shopping. I went to possibly the worse place to go camera shopping in hopes of blowing two hundred dollars on a toy ...
