Canon PowerShot A570IS 7.1MP Digital Camera with 4x Optical Image Stabilized Zoom

Even when the kids can't sit still and the light is less than ideal, the amazing, the PowerShot A570 IS lets you capture life's special moments -- perfectly. Optical Image Stabilizer Technology keeps images crisp even when you're zoomed way in. The ISO 1600 and High ISO Auto settings reduce blur when the lights are down low. Plus, the A570 IS is packed with easy-to-use creative and convenient features you'll love.

PowerShot A570IS Highlights

DIGIC III Image Processor DIGIC III features Face Detection AF/AE, which finds multiple faces in the frame and sets the most suitable focus point, when the shutter button is pressed halfway. And an additional new feature, Face Detection FE adjusts the flash, based on a person's face on the screen. Exposure and flash are controlled to ensure proper illumination of both the faces and the overall scene, eliminating the common problem of darkened or overexposed faces.

Red-eye Correction detects and automatically corrects red-eye during playback for both regular and flash photography. In unusual cases where red-eye is not automatically detected, it can easily be corrected manually during playback mode from the LCD screen.

iSAPS Technology is an entirely original scene-recognition technology developed for digital cameras by Canon. Using an internal database of thousands of different photos, iSAPS works with the fast DIGIC III Image Processor to improve focus speed and accuracy, as well as exposure and white balance.

Clear, high-resolution 2.5-inch LCD for easy on-camera viewing The camera's 2.5-inch LCD screen gives you the big picture, whether you're shooting, reviewing or showing off your images. This high-resolution screen offers a crisp, clear picture to make shooting, playback and using the camera's menu functions especially convenient. Clear and bright, it also features Night Display for easy viewing in low light.

ISO 1600 and High ISO Auto The PowerShot A570 IS features new ISO 1600 and High ISO Auto settings that reduce the effects of camera shake and sharpen subjects in low-light situations, giving you greater flexibility for shooting.

A variety of movie-making options With a highly flexible movie mode, you can create the movie that's perfect for any application. Select from VGA (640 x 480 pixels) and QVGA (320 x 240 pixels), with frame rates of 30 fps and 15 fps for recording up to 1 hour or 4GB. Also Fast Frame Rate (QVGA; 320 x 240 pixels) recording at 60 fps for up to 1 minute, and Compact Movie Mode (QQVGA; 160 x 120 pixels) recording at 15 fps for up to 3 minutes. The PowerShot A570 IS also supports the USB 2.0 Hi-Speed standard, so you'll enjoy the fastest possible data transfer speeds when using a USB 2.0 Hi-Speed compatible computer.

Shooting Modes Advanced presets for the best possible photos under certain conditions.

  • Auto The camera chooses all the settings so you can concentrate on your subject.

  • Av Aperture-priority You define the aperture to either isolate your subject or have clarity throughout the entire picture, and the camera will choose the corresponding shutter speed.

5Love this camera  Jun 30, 2008
I desperately needed an updated digital camera but with four kids didn't have a lot of time to read thru a thick manual. This camera is perfect for us. It takes great pictures, you can use it right out of the box and is compact enough to go in a purse or in our case a diaper bag. Well worth the money.

5Can't get anything better for the money  Jun 30, 2008
I got this camera for the situations when I don't want to bring my DSLR/lenses with me.
There are a few reasons I decided to get this particular camera over other P&S cameras.
1. Relatively inexpensive (I got it for 140 bucks, shipped).
2. Full manual control and manual focus.
3. Pretty small.
4. Not too many mega pixels. I don't want a camera with 10MP on a 1 cm sensor (the actual usable sensor size is much smaller than that anyway).
5. It works with CHDK, a 'hacked firmware' developed by the community, which allows all kind of neat stuff, such as motion detection, live histogram, RAW, and so on.

The quality of the image is pretty good for such a cheap and small camera. There is noise even at ISO 80 in full light. However, the camera will apply some noise reduction which takes care of the noise but removes some detail. By default, the camera will also sharpen the noise (well, actually the whole image), which looks bad. However, you can use the above mentioned CHDK firmware, and save the images as raw. Personally, I wouldn't go over ISO 80 with this camera, but I guess ISO 200 is OK too, to some extent.

The battery life is great, you can take 200+ pictures with a set of NiMh batteries, so long as you do not use the flash.

One thing I am not very happy about is the macro mode. If you take a picture of a normal size fly, the fly will be ~600 pixels long.
The zoom range (35-140mm) is also not ideal, but it's a compact camera, so some compromises have to be made.

Overall, I highly recommend it, it's probably the cheapest camera on the market that takes good quality pictures and has full manual controls.

5Amazing Product  Jun 22, 2008
This camera takes fantastic pictures!! the zoom woks great at 4x and image stabilization is such a great feature, no blurry pics!!! the screen is also very crisp and large. an all around camera that works great! not compact but packed with features.

4Good Camera  Jun 21, 2008
This camera has the most important thing I've been looking for in a digital camera -- Good Indoor Shots -- . Other digital cameras that I've had did not provide good indoor shots but with an ISO 1600, this camera took great indoor shots. I also liked the image stabilization capability of the Canon 570.

2Problems w/Canon A570  Jun 18, 2008
I purchased the camera in March of this year and have rarely used it. The zoom quit working which is so disappointing. My previous Sony camera worked like a charm for four years until I lost it skiing in Colorado. Also, the Canon LED screen is impossible to see in daylight making pictures a little difficult. I would not buy this ever again.
