Canon PowerShot S60 Review

by Alan Stafford

- If your number one priority for a digital camera is that it doesn't pull your shirt pocket down to belly button level, you'll want to skip the Canon PowerShot S60. Though it has the typical oblong shape of a point-and-shoot and weighs less than its predecessor, the PowerShot S50, it comes in at 10 ounces--on the heavy side for this class of camera. On the other hand, if you're looking for a rugged camera that has extensive controls but can still easily fit a large coat pocket or small bag, the S60 is a great choice.

User Reviews for Canon Powershot S60 Digital Camera

Reviewed by: fisher123

Duration of ownership:

Strengths: Takes great photos, fun to use and easy to use. The battery lasts a long time and the zoom covers almost everything I would need.

Weaknesses: In some modes does not focus on what I want and I have to play with it a bit to make that happen. Not able to put filters on the lense. Only 30 second videos. Nighttime pictures require a tripod!!

Overall Evaluation: I bought this camera after a friend recommended it to me. I had just lost my camera and was going on vacation. It turned out to be great and took amazing photos with great detail. I have been able to blow up many of my photos without loosing any detail. The camera is small enough that you can take photos without being annoying.This camera is a step up from the A series and you can see the difference in the photos when I have compaired with friends. The camera is easy to carry and has not let me down. I take it snowboarding, mountain biking, hiking, camping, traveling and carry it daily in my purse. The picture quality has not diminished over time.

Duration of ownership:

Strengths: above average zoom lenses, well built metal casing, and multifunction modes. can be used by both beginner and advanced photographers.

Weaknesses: some of the modes are difficult to use, but this is because it is an advanced camera.

Overall Evaluation: I was looking for a new digital camera that had more features, but was not too difficult to use to replace my old 3.2 megapixel toshiba pdr 3310. I was contemplating on buying either the sony dsc p100, canon sd 300, and this camera. I realized that the former two are good cameras for those who like subcompact cameras that fit in your shirt pockets. The canon s60, however, is not all that bulkier but has much more features than point-and-shoot such as portrait, a white balance/ underwater mode, and stitch. This camera is well worth the money for all the features you get and the results you get when you print the pics.
