Summary: I love this camera!
Review: Very nice camera. I have been using this for about 3 days now, and love it!
Easy to use, many features, and combined with a Canon printer I print awesome photos!
I highly recommend this model if your looking for a 2.0 megapixel unit. Only drawback is it goes through batteries if you operate it with the LCD constantly on, but this can be solved by purchasing rechargeable batteries.
5 stars!!!

Summary: Excellent
Review: Excellent, it's all you need. Just add a bag with it (it scartches eaily on the back), add a 128MB or 256MB card as recommended by Amazon, and get those 1850MH rechargable Kodak AAA, and you got a set for a little over $... It's so good, I got one for work, then after a couple of months use, another set for the family. I know everybdoy wants to look cool with 3.2, 4 or 5 meg pics, but if you are like us, and watch most of your pictures on a slide show on your Windows XP, or print them 4x6, then this is great. If you like the movie mode, the mic is great and the movie fun. Not super, but for $...bucks, you can't go wrong. Now if you like it fancy and cool, get the A70, but I know I like to upgrade and who knows, I might loose or break it, so this is lots of fun, super pics and low investement. Thanks Canon! (By the way, the lens is super and its a 2.8f, which is great!)

Summary: I'm soooo happyyy
Review: This camera is the best! I love it. It's very easy to work with. You don't even need to read the manual to be able to operate this thing (But of course if you want to make your pictures to look more professional then you've got to read the manual). So, it's a tiny camera, fits in my hand perfectly and not too heavy or too light. It just gives the right balance in my hand. The very cool part about this digital cam is that it has a video mode which you can record the scenes for almost 45sec with 16MB card and one cool thing i almost for get to mention, you could plug it in your tv and play the movie or pictures that you've just taken. YOu could also adjust the sizes of your pictures and the quality of the pictures that you want before you take your pictures (when you adjust to the leastest size and quality, your capacity in your CF card would increases). And it works well with Microsoft XP, you just plugged in the USB thingie and woop! the program would just recognize your camera in seconds and then you just follow a couple of incredibly easy step by step and have them pictures saved on your comp. One more thing, the camera has a software called "arcsoft" that comes with it. MS XP already had that software installed so you don't need to reinstall it again. Pretty cool hah.

Summary: Great Choice Great Price
Review: I bought this camera after doing a lot of research. Some of my friends have other Canon Cameras and I decide to buy one. First of all, the batteries do last longer than i did expect. I used the included Alkaline and played a lot with the camera, took around 70 Pics (128 Mb card) , a few video clips and the batteries lasted around 3 days. I also bought rechargable batteries and the are great. My suggestion is to buy the camera and a set of rechargeable batteries.
About the picture quality..if you are not a Pro...this is just what you need. Great resolution, great quality... a little difficult at the beginning to handle (pic modes etc) but you get used to it.

Summary: Poor Focus and picture quality
Review: Somehow, I could not get the camera to do a better job on accurate focusing on the subjects. It's auto-focusing always blurs out the subjects while capturing the surroundings. Also, it's user manual is not detailed enough to explain the manual settings of the camera.

Summary: Now it's perfect!
Review: Hi, I'm the same person who wrote the May 2, 2003 ("A Bumpy Road so far...") review below. I decided that Camera #2 definitely had blurry pictures, no matter what settings I used. Perhaps a lens problem, I don't know. So, I exchanged the camera again, and Camera #3 is perfect! The pictures are incredibly sharp, even on my large computer monitor. The batteries last for a long time. Despite the minor difficulties I had with my purchase, I really do love my Canon A60!

Summary: Lots of manual controls!
Review: Pro's
1. Excellent features like video out, AA batteries, movie w/sound etc.
2. Very competitively priced.
3. Nice build quality, good looking and easy to grip.
4. Lots of manual features like long shutter, aperture priority, shutter priority and full manual mode.
5. Uses cheap CF cards. Con's
1. Its 2 inches thick not 1.3, advertised specs exclude the protrusions like battery compartment.
2. Not pocketable, very heavy with 4 AA batteries and thick.
3. AF assist on Canon's is just a gimmick, it doesn't help camera focus better.
4. Soft images, many of them out blurry/out of focus.
5. No charger or rechargebale batteries in the box. If you want manual controls then the A60/A70 are the only ones. Otherwise there are some other good cameras like Nikon 2100/Sony P72/Olympus D-560/Fuji 310/Canon S200 etc to consider.

Summary: Poor Picture Quality
Review: I got this camera after reading a lot of online reviews. But to my dismay, the picture quality was not upto the mark. Most pictures were giving a 'greenish' hue also, the skin tones and sharpness left a lot to be desired. I tried this in different lighting conditions and the only time it worked well (gave true colors) was when the subject was v.close and the lighting was bright. I also tried the higher resolution A70 and even the salesman in the store agreed that there was a 'greenish' hue with the camera. Other features are good and the camera is easy to use. But lack of true picture colors made me return this camera. I would not advice buying this camera.

Summary: Bumpy road so far...
Review: Hi, I bought a Canon A60 in mid-April, and about 5 days into ownership I began experiencing the dreaded "E18 message." (Previously reported in other Canon digital cameras.) The customer service guy said "it might mean you need a new battery or something is wrong with the electrical system. Either return it to the store where you bought it, or send it in". Ugh! He ws not very helpful. Anyway, even with error E18, Camera #1 was taking fabulous photos. But I took camera #1 back to the electronics store and exchanged it for camera #2, also a Canon A60. This one doesn't give me error "E18", but so far, almost every picture looks blurry when displayed on my computer. In particular, "shiny" areas like my subjects' eyes and teeth appear as double images. I have tried cleaning the lens, adjusting the flash, and adjusting the resolution, to no avail.
I'm not sure if this is a camera problem or a software problem. I favor camera problem, because the images from camera #1 still look great with the same software. The software (ZoomBrowser EX) has another weird bug. Every time I look at a single image, ie to adjust brightness, contrast, or saturation, there is a wide band on the right side that appears to be the actual left side of the image, in a greenish color. However, in slide show mode, this is not evident. Any ideas??? I might have to exchange camera #2, but I am still hoping to keep the A60, as the pictures from #1 were great.
