Generally good color accuracy
Very sharp images overall
Ineffective noise reduction
Flip-out LCD is awkward in use
Introduction
The Sony Alpha A560 is an interesting SLR: we found that it had good overall performance and was easy to use. But there are a few issues that hold it back: the flip-out LCD screen is useful, but a little awkward to use and doesn’t have the same freedom of movement as the screen of the Canon 60D or many high-end point & shoots.
