All I had to do was lightly press on the button to activate the camera and as soon as they jumped, press it down all the way and "ta-dah.", wonderful. The only reason it received a 4-star from me is. Other than that, I have been really pleased. It keeps it in the same spot.The manual was easy to understand (when I read it two years ago) and detailed all you needed to know.
So, I recommend getting lithium. Pricey, but they're great in lasting a long time (more pics).I also like how the batteries and memory card go in the same place. :)As for batteries, regular AA batteries are worthless with this camera. I just haven't experienced them.
I have taken this camera so many different places and taken great pictures. I'm sure it does. this camera needs more zoom. Does it have it's drawbacks.
I took pics of my kids jumping off the swings - in mid-air - and loved the pictures. It's a perfect point and shoot and I'm very certain it's easier to use for most people (I'm technologically challenged). I have kids and animals, so taking "action" shots have been really good as well.
:PI wish that I could get the right settings for it to not to blur, and at times shutter speed can be a little slow, but overall, it takes pictures with a great quality. It takes great photos indoors and out, and is my ideal travel companion. This is a great little camera. I got this for Christmas over two years ago to replace my Polaroid i832, and this camera is by far superior.
Definitely a camera that needs to be babied. Because I wind up changing the batteries so often, the casing has now come loose and doesn't close properly. Although it looked good in theory, the PowerShot A560 has been a major disappointment in practice.The batteries die faster than fruit flies. I have inserted new batteries, only to find as I go for the quick, cute, candid shot of the dogs they've already died (the batteries, not the dogs).The design is just bulky enough to be annoying, with an area that curves out for the useless batteries.
Canon overall has the best cameras and finer cut lenses to help you get the shot you want, when you want it. ZoomBrowserEX, the program that comes with the camera is a neat, simple-to-use program. You can also step it up a level and use it for more advancement using CHDK, an open source program made especially for Canon cameras. The Canon PowerShot A560 is definitely on the higher end of point-and-shoot cameras. If you aren't looking to fork out $300-$800 dollars for a professional camera the Canon PowerShot A560 can make a good advanced camera. I have compared this aside many other similar and popular brands including Kodak and Nikon. I have been using this model for over a year now and it does not displease. The camera is better not only in quality but in other things such as features, flexibility, and compatibility.
Enjoy, as we have. It can do everything you'd want to do, in my opinion. :-) This is an awesome camera. What more can I say.
