Canon PowerShot A60 Digital Camera

Pros: As far as Canon is concerned your good will counts for nothing
Cons: The product doesn't last very long, If you have money to burn go ahead

Never buy Canon, They could care less if you have a problem, Amazing with all the money they spend on advertising how little they care if you have any problem

Buyer beware,,,A lot of money for a camera which may last more than a year

Pros: -Great pictures for less price. -Easy to use but still has advanced features
Cons: -Same old problems with any digital camera, slow shutter speed and average night pictures.

This camera is worth its value. Its easy to use and still has loads of features to play around. I bought it for my parents and they love it. Takes great photos.
It can also record few seconds of MPEG video(with audio).
It uses Compact Flash memory and comes with USB transfer cable.
For batteries I would highly recommend Monster or Kodak NiMh models.
I have tried Sony and Nikon cameras in this price range, this camera is surely the best.

Pros: easy good images
Cons: pricy reparations you cant use it as a webcam

It's easy to use.
Good picture quality, images could be a litle sharper, but you can fix that a bit with pc-software.

What i didn't like was that it just stoped working from one moment till the other while i was taking pictures. I went back to the store and they say it costs 130 euros to send it back to the factory. and it wil take at least 6 weeks before i 'll get it back.
Some how it looks to me as if it was made to breake down just after the garantee period expires. I think it's a crime that they can give a 1jear garantee on a product that should last at least 5 jears.

Pros: Price, power source
Cons: Totally unreliable, junk, not a lemon.

I bought this camera for my son who was taking a semester abroad. It was purchased based on the reputation of Canon as an film camera company, a reasonable price, and the fact it is powered by AA batteries. It worked reasonably well for the two months it did work, although lag time from shutter depression to image capture was a little long. Then this essentially new camera stopped working, displaying what research has shown is probably an error brought on by a camera defect, e18. Customer support was polite, but worthless, they will not allow him to trade this two month old camera for a new one, and service can only be performed in the US. Given the pervasiveness of the e18 error, this is very narrow minded on Canon's part. I for one, will never purchase another product from this company.

Pros: Uses AA batteries, relatively sturdy, long-lasting, can withstand high temperatures in car.
Cons: Heavy, puzzling snapshot delays (shots cannot be taken instantaneously, even in Fast mode)

An all-around great entry-level digital camera. I've had it for several years and still use it fairly often; it still works great. I have dropped it once, but to no ill-effect. What a great camera!

Pros: Reliable, versatile & lots of additional features. Great camera for the beginner.
Cons: Takes a while to get familiar with all the functions: keep the manual handy.

We own an A40 and a friend wanted one but chose the A60 instead. We had the opportunity to test it and found it surpasses the A40 in many ways. It has a very good lens for a 35 mm camera and the interface was actually improved over the A40. We took some night shots that were amazing and the special effects aren't limited to just time exposure. This is an easy "point and shoot" camera and after being dropped (on grass) twice, it was still functioning fine. We did notice that the viewing lens can scratch easily but that doesn't affect the photos. Short movies with sound are an added bonus and we use the macro a lot for very sharp closeups. A reliable auto control or use manual settings for greater flexiblity. Very good placement of the hand grip and a centered tripod hole. This is an all round excellent camera once you get used to all the features.

Pros: Easy to use; price; nice variety of special features
Cons: Shutter delay

I didn't want to spend more than $200 dollars for my first digital camera and a friend of mine mentioned that he had purchased the A60 for $200 so my research on this camera began. Although my friend didn't learn of epinions before making his purchase, he told me about this site and I'm so glad that he did. I was able to read several reviews both good and bad and make an informed decision. I was also able to get this camera for an excellent price. I'm not that familiar as of yet with the camera because I just got it yesterday, but so far, it has been very easy to use and I am looking forward to learning how to use more of the special features that it offers. I think this camera is going to suit my family just fine and I am extremely pleased with the ease of understanding the manual that it came with. This is a great entry level camera and I am so glad that I purchased it.

Pros: Easy to use. Lightweight. Self explanatory. Easy battery installation and uncomplicated accesseries.
Cons: I would say its impossible to learn everything in one day.

Excellent design, small hand held camera who'se main weight are the 4 AA batteries. Comfortable to hold, secure with wrist strap.
Waterproof casing for those splashes near water. Note: do not submerge in water just because the casing is waterproofed.

Pros: none
Cons: lacking in quality of mechanism

i have had the A60 for 13 months. wouldnt you know it, just after the warranty the camera came up with the e18 error. apparently this is very common. customer service unhelpful. i should have went with the nikon products.

Pros: very good optics and picture quality
Cons: Terrible construction and quality of body casing.

WARNING this camera will break very easily. I droped it only 1.5 feet to the carpeted ground and now it will not focus or retract all the way. I dropped it while it was on and the lens open, so I'm fairly sure the zoom lens came off track. I've sent it to cannon's repair center and thier estimated cost to repair is $114. Obviously I have no interest in fixing it at that price considering I only paid 65$ more new.
Admitedly the camera did take excellent pictures while it was working, I would recomend it if you plan to be very carefull with it.

Pros: Durable, loads of features, clear pictures, assisted focus, battery life
Cons: A little heavy, feature doesn't remove red-eye like it says

I couldn't have picked a better camera for our needs. We are a family of 4 with a new baby, so lots of pictures are needed to send to the grandparents out of state. Their favorites are the little videos, sometimes up to 30 sec or more if you have enough room on the memory stick. Pictures print out clear as day and this camera is so durable (my daughter has dropped it a few times, not even a ding). It's a little on the heavy side, but it fits in your hand so well when taking that snapshot. Lots of features including a panoramic shot!!! I highly suggest this camera for families and people who love pictures, but don't need 8x10's. Great battery life! We take TONS of pictures and videos and I change my batteries once a month. Suggestions, get Energizer rechargeable, it will save you a lot of money and they last forever!

Pros: Battery Life is great.
Cons: Error E18 renders camera useless.

Due to the E18 error that renders the camera useless (I had a Canon Powershot A70) it is hard to understand that a brand like Canon does nothing (and allows it). Bye Canon.
