Item 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.

Rating: - * Outdated model ! do not buy ! ... I'm not against this camera It's just that this model became outdated, and a newer model (A590 IS) is better and even CHEAPER than this Canon PowerShot A590IS 8MP Digital Camera with 4x Optical Image Stabilized Zoom Rating: - * Decent... barely ... At first blush, I liked the camera a lot - pretty good quality overall. But after using it for a bit, its biggest drawback was apparent - the battery life is terrible. It uses standard AAA batteries, but they just drain down so quickly. In almost a year that I have owned the camera, by my rough calculation, I must have spent half of the camera price in batteries. And I really don't take that many pictures, we only used it on family occassions and other trips once in a while. I would not recommend this camera. Rating: - * Camera = Good, Batteries / Recharger = DooDoo ... Canon PowerShot A570IS 7.1MP Digital Camera with 4x Optical Image Stabilized Zoom Purchased camera for anniversary cruise photos, for which purpose the camera was quite satisfactory, with memory card holding over 500 images on the initial set of batteries [rechargeable]. Purchased extra set of rechargeable batteries, Canon batter charger, and Canon a/c auxiliary power setup. After the first use of each set of new batteries, subsequent overnight recharges indicated "complete" -- i.e., blinking light on charger showed steady indicator. From that time on, the recharged batteries would only function to allow about 50 photos, before another recharge was required. In addition, purchased AA batteries failed to produce more than 50 photos. The recharged "rechargeable" batteries, both sets, will charge only to about 1.37 volts, and will not charge to a higher level. This camera eats batteries, both Canon's "rechargeables" as well as commercial standard AA batteries. If you plan to use the Canon A570IS as an AC unit only, then it is pretty good. Rating: - * Great pics, slow pictures, battery hog ... My previous camera was a digital Canon PowerShot A70. Had it for 5 years and it was great. One day it just quit working. With the cost to repair vs. the cost to buy new, we figured we'd just get the newest iteration of the A70, which seemed to be the Powershot A570IS. At just over $100, seemed like a great choice for us! Well, it has more mega pixels, and an extra zoom feature the A70 did not. It also takes 2 AA batteries instead of 4, and that's all great. However, the lag time between the time you press down the shutter and the time the picture actually "takes" is way too long, especially with human subjects. Also, the thing hogs batteries, AND does not give you much warning before it dies. There have been several disappointing situations where we've had no pictures of various occasions because of this annoying problem. This NEVER happened with our A70, so I know Canon can do better!!! Rating: - * Disappointed ... After having my camera less than a year, the display screen no longer works. Yes, I can look through the view finder and everything still works. I can still access the photos after they are taken. I just can't see the picture on the screen as I take it. I feel so disappointed at the way things are made these days...It is disappointing that I need to start looking for a new camera AGAIN!!!
