Thinking about a 5MP camera with more manual control than a Pentax
Optio, and a 28mm lens. Anyone have insights into the Canon Powershot
S60?

Very few downsides. I think it's a very nice little camera, but with minor
sortcomings:

1. You can't add accessory lenses for wide angle or telephoto.
2. There's no hot shoe (I believe).
3. Noise is a little high at higher ISOs.

Other than that, it's pretty nice. Good battery life, nice sharp pictures,
excellent color, great point and shoot camera.

There are adapters for this.
