Canon PowerShot A570 IS

I bought this camera for its reported fantastic picture quality, as well as some more detailed photographic features normally only found on SLR camera, mainly Aperture priority and Shutter Priority modes. From this standpoint, it is a wonderful camera. The camera takes excellent pictures, extremely sharp, even if the colours do mostly need a bit of editing in Photoshop for my liking. The features are excellent; Aperture and Shutter priority modes ...
...to get to grips with. Macro mode is also excellent and has created some stunning pictures for me, full of detail and clarity. My only problem with the camera is in the reliability. The lens has once stopped coming out, and although I was able to fix it, it was still not a great experience to have with it. The battery life is also horrific, especially as my camera has got older, now eating through a brand new pair of batteries in well under 30 minutes ...

Review of Canon PowerShot A570 IS

This is a really good Digital camera with brilliant picture quality the pictures it produces are always excellent and when I got the photos developed from the camera i was extremely pleased with the quality of the photos even though i was standing quite far away from the objects I was taking pictures off is also has an image stbilizer with the camera. It has a large range of features avaliable on the camera which help to improve the picture quality ...
...close to the object to take a photo of it. I think this camera is very easy to use, I had no problems with using it and was taking photos not long after the purchase of the camera. This is a really reliable video camera because every picture the camera produces is really good and the quality of the pictures is excellent as well. this is an average build camera not too big not too small and it is average an weight for a camera which makes it easily ...

Review of Canon PowerShot A570 IS

...I had a great little canon snappy many years ago, and what sold it to me over the other options was the image stabiliser; because I tend to get camera shake. As mentioned by other reviewers you do need to buy some good rechargable batteries (I use 2650mAh which are currently lasting quite well, I do keep spare ones with me when I'm out but haven't needed to use them yet). You do have the option to switch off the display to conserve battery life. ...
...you buy a much larger SD card, (I got a 2gb one which means I don't have to worry about space) you can get one for about fiver from Amazon (less from some other suppliers). I'm not a buff as I said, but am very impressed with the picture, the video quality and the capabilities of the camera in general. I even let my mum take some video (she has parkinsons) and even with that amount shaking the film was clear enough to watch, albeit abit wobbly. ...

Easy to use, auto focus. I'm not a photographer but have had quite good results. Resists camera shake which makes a big difference outdoors and indoors. Fair price, good value. ...

Review of Canon PowerShot A570 IS

I purchased this camera over the August Bank Holiday and have been very pleased with it! Its very easy to set up with very easy to read and understand step by step instructions. It has a large display screen so you can clearly see the pictures you have taken. It also has a vital feature in image stabilisation so no matter how shaky your hands are, it'll still take you a quality picture. Not only this, you can also take motion pictures ie someone ...
...and the picture taken will be nice and clear. The camera can be set to take pictures inside, outside, at night etc (just with the turn of a simple dial!) and the quality of the pictures it takes is brilliant! To test the camera, I took it to Goodrich castle and took some shots in dark passageways where you could barely see your own hand - however the night vision produced very clear pictures-i was very impressed. Also took some prints in the garden ...

Review of Canon PowerShot A570 IS

A nifty little camera but there appears to be a persistent problem with battery connections - these feature heavily in discussions elsewhere on the net. Many - and I mean many - users complain that the low battery light can come on almost immediately, almost regardless of what kind of batteries are used. This appears to be a hardware problem with the connections in some cameras. Canon are not helpful. Otherwise a good buy, but make sure you get a world wide Canon warranty and not a grey goods one. ...
