Canon Powershot A560 Reviews
As good as this camera sounds,is it true?
Right now I have a Canon PowerShot A560 7.1 megapixles.I use this at concerts and shows mainly but all my pictures come out blurry or the settings just don’t work well at the concerts and shows(usually dim lighting) and when im close to a good shot something messes it up.this new camera I want,I usually check the sunday ads for good deals,and even ebay,but I was on Wal Mart.com and found this Kodak I forget what kind it was 12 megapixles for $179. and the reviews were high and some posted there pictures from the camera and they were great so should I get this while I have the advantage to a cheap high quality cam? or should I keep saving and wait for something else?
Also they don’t have this at my local Wal Mart so I can’t test it.

No digicam is really suited to low-light, non-flash photography unless you have it mounted on a tripod and you’re photographing a stationary object like a city skyline.
If you’re 10′ or less from the stage you might get some pictures but if you use the flash you may attract Security and A) get kicked out after they confiscate your media card or B) have your camera confiscated, never to be seen again.
Also, beware of the “megapixel hype” from clever marketing. Stuffing more pixels into a tiny sensor does not mean better image quality. Go to http://www.shutterbug.com and type ‘pixel packing’ in the Search box.
A humble 6 megapixel DSLR will simply blow away a 10 or 12 megapixel digicam in terms of image quality. At ISO 400 and above the difference will be even greater.

Which is better?
I’ve just about decided on the camera I want. it’s a Canon PowerShot A460, 5mp, for $114. but then there is the Canon PowerShot A560, 7mp, for about $150. which one is the better deal? they both have good reviews
If you’re mostly interested in photos for your computer and or printing standard sze 4X6′s the A460 will suit you just fine..
