Description
Life doesn't give you second chances to capture special times. That's why the elegant PowerShot A570 IS is equipped with Canon's acclaimed Image Stabilizer Technology that automatically detects and corrects camera shake - one of the leading causes of fuzzy or blurred shots. So now even when you're zooming in tight you can get the steady, crisp, brilliant images. With DIGIC III, you get images of superior quality, the camera functions at top efficiency and battery life is significantly enhanced. What's more, DIGIC III enables Canon's newly improved Face Detection Technology and Red-eye Correction to give you better, more true-to-life people shots. Beside stills there's highly flexible movie mode, you can create the movie that's perfect for any application.

Nice but not great
[ Posted: 2008-05-15 ]
Nice camera, relatively good pix...image stabilization not great...AA battery pac MOST annoying and archaic.... ended up re-selling this and went back to my Sony DCS 5
I love this camera
[ Posted: 2008-05-14 ]
I bought this camera about 10 months ago. I recommend it to anyone who takes 'snapshots' or is a serious amateur. It was my first digital camera, and easy enough for me to take family snaps with. I've since grown into a hobbyist, and the camera is still tops. I've been able to take beautiful photographs with it.
I'll be graduating to a more expensive camera soon, but I plan to hold onto this one as well.
The only drawback is the length of time it takes between flash shots. But that's standard for point-and-shoot cameras.
Great Camera OVERALL

CANON A570 IS
Listen, I"m no camera expert but, this camera takes GREAT PICTURES AND VIDEOS day or night it really doesn't matter. Easy to use in every way. I love the dial on the top with preset functions for picture settings and video, just rotate it for pictures at night or day etc. or to switch to the video setting. This makes doing anything a snap.
The AA rechargeable batteries last until I completely fill the 4gb sdhc card I installed to increase its memory and then I still have enough battery power to transfer those 4gb to my pc.
Time in between pictures can be a little long in low light conditions but, In sunlight I can snap pictures consecutively with about a 2 second delay. Overall I highly recommend this camera. The pictures and videos it takes are crisp, clear, true to life and well large enough to view on my 42" lcd tv and look fantastic.
I take pictures of my kid at the park and you know kids never stay still, no problem. The image stabilazation is fantastic. I always get good shots even when he's throwing a ball.
If you want a really good, dependable camera that takes AA batteries so you'll never run out of power as long as you have rechargeable batteries on hand (cheap power),lots of extra storage with the sd or sdhc capability, crisp, great looking pictures and videos then Buy this camera you'll love it.
It does everything I need a camera to do superbly!
Camera is malfunctioning
[ Posted: 2008-05-13 ]
I bought this camera based on the high rating it had. I was initially pleased with it and the way it took pictures, but after having it only 2 and a half months, it suddenly out of the blue stopped working. It had not been damaged, I always took very good care of it, fresh batteries did nothing to get it to work. Very frustrating since I need it for my business online. I guess I will have to send it in and see if they can figure out the problem...I certainly hope so, otherwise Canon will lose a customer for good!
Everything promised...

This little camera delivered on everything promised. For the price and the features I am very satisfied. I researched and purchased the a570 after our 5 yr old a70 took a tumble down the stairs.... I now wish the a70 had tumbled sooner.
