Top camera with many unlockable features

I bought this camera to a cheap but good second camera to have. My previous SLR was just too big and especially to valuable and therefore virtually useless for photos on the beach or at parties because I have not even taken. The A560 is designed by Canon as a very simple point-and-shoot camera, manual controls, there are therefore very few factory. Who as I learned on SLR and would therefore like to have more control over the camera but can easily many advanced features such as manual focus, manual exposure, AEB, and much more. unlock, thanks to the "CHDK" software (google helps further here).
Conclusion: Sensor well, look good, advanced features unlockable - price / performance ratio unbeatably good (even if the price has gone up slightly again in the past few weeks)
