The 2.0-megapixel PowerShot A60, which replace the A40 and A30 models, respectively, released in March 2002, offer simple operation and high cost-performance with image quality and features to match high-end models.
Incorporating a high-powered 3x optical zoom lens (equivalent to 35-105mm in 35mm format) and offering enhanced image resolution, the PowerShot A60 features smaller light-guide flash and lens-barrel designs to realize considerable size and weight savings compared with the previous models.
Moreover, the PowerShot A60 further enhance utility with control buttons arranged in a convenient cross configuration, and a single mode switch that enables users to alternate quickly between shooting and replay modes.
The PowerShot A60 operates on four AA-size batteries, which are inexpensive and more readily available than other battery types, making their replacement more economical and convenient.
