I am just about ready to buy the Canon A560.
It does take movie clips. Can someone find if it takes audio with the movie? I keep searching and seem not to be able to locate that.
Thank you.

According to Steve's Digicams site it does have audio.
Steves digicam's Canon A560 Review
I have used this site for all my camera research and it's VERY accurate and reliable. As a matter of fact it once did a review on a camera I bought and mentioned a feature I didn't know about. I tried it and yup sure enough it worked just as the website said, but no mention in the manual of it whatsoever.
Oh THANK YOU!!!
I like that site, I book marked it.
Gotta go spend some money. :D
Does this mean we'll have new Sugar pics?? :D
HUmmmmm! Anyone have one already that can post pictures it has taken?
Kfamr, yup, I am tired of waiting to end a roll of film, get it developed, scan in the pics. By then the reason for the shot is old news, he he.
I ordered from Abe's of Maine; which is in Clinton NJ. Should arrive in a week or so, then I need to figure out the basics and get posting!
I also ordered the pack of 4 rechargeable batteries, and the battery charger, so I am hoping I have the basics. Then I can figure out what I need for a larger storage card later.
I'd buy an extra pack of batteries if I were you. Have one in the camera & an extra juiced and ready to go.
Did that; this camera only uses TWO batteries, so a 4 pack is a use and a spare.
They called me about 2 things this afternoon on my order.
Did I want the super batteries? It was "only" another $30 so for now I stayed with what I picked out.
Did I need a storage card? the one it ocmes with hold 5 or 6 photos. Ugh! So i bought a 512 MB, which he "said" will hold 150 photos. If I have 150 pics to sort through I am in REAL trouble, so I think that should be large enough! I sure hope so.
you can never NEVER have too much MB for a media card!!! I have two 128 MB, two 256 MB and a 1 GB card and sometimes that's not enough. lol
If digital photography is as addicting for you as it is for me, you will be searching for a new memory card in no time! ;)
Hmmm, OK. I'll keep that in mind.
Right now, I am not palnning to store photos on the memory card. I intend to print them and maintain my photo albums. Maybe I'm nuts? Time will tell.
My Mum started an album for me when I was born. She put in photos of both sets of grandparents, one each of her and Dad as kids. Then their wedding pic, my baby announcement, my hospital baby photo. And after that she kept it up. When my brother came along 8 years later, she did the same for him, adding a pic of me at age 8 before HIS announcement and hospital photo. He never kept his up, they stop when he is 16. I've kept mine, I am on album 46!!

When you go digital you'll find you take WAAAAY more pix because you don't have to pay for film/developing. You'll also find you take pix of things you would never have tried to do the old fashioned way. Also while on vacation you don't always have access to a printer/cpu/electricity to be able to transfer your pix in case your memory card gets full. Then you'll run into the delima of trying to decide which pix to delete based on an image in a tiny 2-3 inch screen or having to stop taking pix and missing that one great photo op. Honestly investing in large memory cards is a decision I highly doubt you'd regret. lol
Have fun learning to use your new camera and enjoy.
That's what I do too and I regularly fill a 2GB card! I'm getting a 4gb before the next time I go see my nieces!Quote:

I've had lots of fun and already posted some pictures! This is WONDERFUL! Thank you all for you're comments and assistance.
