Canon PowerShot A60 Digital Cameras Plus Information
Featuring a high-tech design with aluminum front cover and metallic handgrip, the Canon PowerShot A60 combines a sense of both the modern and the traditional.


Despite its entry-level designation in Canon’s digital lineup, the 2-megapixel PowerShot A60 is a surprisingly advanced model with excellent picture quality and more manual features than you’ll find on most digital point-and-shoots.

Canon PowerShot A60 Professional Reviews

• steves-digicams Reviewed the Canon PowerShot A60 and gave out”this is an excellent camera for those who just want to take good pictures without much fuss — but it’s also for those that want more than just a fully automatic point-n-shoot. Beginners can just turn it on, frame the shot, press the button and capture the shot. When you feel the urge just turn the Mode Dial and take as much control of the image capturing process as you want. Not bad at all for a compact, durable and fairly high performance camera capable of making photo-quality 8 x 10 inch prints (or larger) at this price point. If your pockets are deeper and you need a larger image for cropping or printing then look at the 3-megapixel Powershot A70 for about a hundred dollars more. The only difference between these two cameras is the image resolution and the price.”

Canon PowerShot A60 Customer Reviews

I purchased this camera almost 2 years ago. 6 months ago, it displayed the first occurence of the E18 error (problem in the lens mechanism), but recovered. It did that again last week and could not recover. Both times, it happened when I was on vacation. Search the web for E18 and you’ll know what I mean. So, now I have a useless paperweight not worth spending money to get repaired. Now I will go for another canon, but an older model with a digital-only zoom, for 2 reasons a) the optical zoom on the A60 has give me enough grief, b)to keep using my 2 CF cards, since the latest cameras do not accept CF cards.

I’ve had this camera for almost 4 years and it had completely stopped working. The lens doesn’t open anymore. The camera has taken decent pictures, but sometimes the photos have come out with fuzzy gray lines across them. I wouldn’t recommend this camera unless you plan on having trouble with it in the future.
