Canon's A500 series of digital cameras have been the easiest to recommend for the budget user. Though they've never been so hot on the looks department, their features and performance have been the biggest selling factor in the series. But does the new Canon A560 really match up to the standards its predecessors have set? Let's find out.
Build
None of the cameras in the A500 series were very good looking, and the trend continues with this one too. Remarkably plain silver finish with a slightly darker-colored hand grip rule is what you'll get to see on first contact. In fact, it's the dark grip that separates its look from the cheaper Canon Powershot A550.
At 91x64x43 mm the A560 isn't too bulky for a compact camera, and may just about even fit in a trouser pocket. It will look odd, but it will fit. The best way to carry it around would be using one of the camera pouches you get in the market. The two AA batteries add up to a total weight of 205 g.
The back of the camera is dominated by the 2.5 inch TFT display along with all the functional buttons placed on the right for easy single handed operation. It also has an optical viewfinder, a feature I sorely miss on a lot of consumer camera models these days. The optical viewfinder can be your best friend when you're trying to save up on batteries or when everything is a bit too dark for your camera's LCD to legibly display anything.
It's pretty obvious that the camera was built keeping functionality a bigger priority over looks and eye candy, which is what counts ultimately.
i advice the maufacturer to stop manufacturing this type of cameras .thease cannot bear a very little shock .with very little shock they be come out of order.repair is too much costly.so all the money spend on waste .i also advise all the customers not to purchse this type canon camera
