Editors' Comments

The Canon PowerShot A60 is a great choice for photographers who don't need to print large images. With the exception of its 2-megapixel resolution, the A60 is virtually identical to the very popular Canon A70 -- both cameras excel at fully-automatic operation, yet offer a wide range of manual features for more experienced owners. read more

This is an excellent camera for those who just want to take good pictures without much fuss (Steve's Digicams - 10/14/03)

The Canon A60 offers the simplicity that novices require, as well as the more advanced manual controls that advanced photographers appreciate. Its autofocus-assist light makes focusing in low-light conditions easy. read original review

Canon has once again managed a nearly perfect combination of features, image quality and price for the mid-level consumer market (Imaging Resource - 10/14/03)

Though its shutter lag is quite slow (the Canon A70 delivers faster performance), and its optical viewfinder's field of view is narrower than most, the Canon A60 nonetheless delivers very good image quality and a wide range of auto and manual controls. read original review
