This is not purely a digital piano. It is classified as a stage piano. It is configured as a stage piano. If you're looking for a pure digital piano, this is going to have more features than you want. Be educated about what you are purchasing before you buy. A reviewer here complained about the very fact that this keyboard posses a synthesizer and they felt that it shouldn't. Idiotic. If you read what you are buying before you buy, you know what you will and will not be getting. They simply bought the wrong product relative to their desires and rated the product poorly because they lack the ability to discern their needs. Myself, I like it's swiss army knife feature set.
That being said, the Privia PX-560 is a device that punches above it weight (literally and figuratively). It combines some arranger/workstation features with a solid stage piano. The combination of feature provided by Casio at this price point can not be found in similarly priced units from the likes of Yamaha, Roland, Nord, etc.
The tones (voices, instruments, or whatever you've grown accustomed to call them) range from rather impressive to rather basic. Efforts were put into producing good pianos, breathy brass, and the synthesizer. The strings range from ok to meh. Some of the brass and reed instruments could do with some work too. Strings, like the brass, range from quite usable to needs work. The organs are decent but drawbar organs only will be so good. The electric pianos have some stand outs. There are some great tones, some less than great ones. With hundreds of tones, that is to be expected. Nobody puts more than 600 really great tones on any keyboard. Nobody. Overall, the tones are good. They sound better through a keyboard amp or headphones than the built in speakers.
The speakers are decent for the power output. They may need a little EQ to render more accurate sound and fortunately, an EQ is built in.
The touch screen allows for quick selection of features. A panel full of buttons would have resulted in more time digging through the interface while the touch screen seems more intuitive.
The PX-560 requires the purchase of 3 foot pedal assembly from its optional stand to have half presses. They should've made that 3 pedal more modular so that those of us who don't like those optional stands can take advantage of the pedals. Where the is a will, there is a way to modify that assembly to use without the stand.
The keybed is progressively weighted and simulate a upright piano. While not perfect, it's hard to find a better one at this price point.
All things considering, the PX-560 is an outstanding keyboard for the price. They are better ones to be had. There are less expensive one to be had. But at this price point, there isn't a unit I can think of that offers this level of performance and features. I think this a great hobbyist keyboard. It's also good for the beginner with extra cash in their pockets who's looking to grow into a unit that has more features than a starter keyboard.
This unit gains a solid recommendation. Unless you are looking to spend much more, this is quite satisfying.

Mediocre and Overpriced as a "Digital PIANO"
This is a revised review. I was originally impressed with this digital piano. It was the first non-toy keyboard I owned. Having had it for six months, by enthusiasm has waned. Here's what's wrong with it from my perspective. There is too much synth and workstation stuff included in the design of this piano. That's fine if you are a keyboardist but this is a fully weighted and graded hammer action piano. I'd prefer if there had been more resources devoted to realistic piano feel and tone. One of my chief complaints is that the Sustain pedals (and you can only use a maximum of 2) are just simple on/off switches. You CANNOT execute half damping, or better yet, continuous control of damping. If you buy Casio's cheap particle board stand, you can get a proprietary pedal assembly that plus into the bottom of the piano with a cheap fragile interface. It still doesn't allow continuous control and I don't want a cheap unadjustable particle board stand to begin with. Another issue with this keyboard is that the piano samples are mediocre at best. I have been forced to resort to the use of external piano sample libraries because the internal pianos are bland and lifeless. Third, the PX-560 boasts tri-sensor key position sensing. It supposedly does have it but it was poorly implemented. The middle sensor is too high to allow the execution of rapid notes on the same key without allowing the key to travel most of the way back up. That technique works flawlessly on a Kawai VPC1 or Kawai MP11SE. On the Privia PX-560, the notes will sound intermittently unless you let the key come about 3/4 of the way back up. The Kawais work the way an acoustic grand piano does. The Casio does not. So. unless you are a synth enthusiast (who for some bizarre reason wants a fully weighted and graded piano action) this digital piano is not worth the $1200 it costs. If piano is your focus, you'd be far better off putting in a little more money and getting a Kawai VPC1 master controller, a Kawai MP11SE, a Dexibell Vivo S7, a Roland RD2000 etc...

- As a workstation (meh, it's okay for basic uses, has a bunch of space for user-defined tones and rhythms, but nothing more)
My control knobs are broken though
