I should have listened to the other reviews. They more or less said that the picture quality was really good but the camera was really slow. I thought, great good pictures I can't go wrong with that. The camera has some nice features I can get some good pics and grow and learn with this one. The face recognition only works about 1 out of 5 times. I think it just takes a good guess and most times it's wrong.
Amazon was great I ordered it at regular shipping. They decided to send it extra fast free shipping.
Cool 2 days later new camera in hand I take that really cute picture of my grandson. Snap..........1..........2..........3.........4.........5.........6.........7.........8.........9........10........... Ok missed that 1st picture Ill try again. Snap..........1..........2..........3..........4..........5..........6..........7..........8.........9.........10........ OK this time the kid moved , but I got a really good picture of the bookcase where we keep the DVD movies in. The picture came out really great, if the house burns down I can use this for documentation for the insurance company, You can read the title on all 174 movies that we have. I didn't get the grandson , he moved to fast.
Ok I made a mistake I wanted camera that I could grow and learn with and I wanted to take a picture of my grandson.
I think I'll send this camera back and go with something that consumer reports says has a faster next shot time. They recommend 3 other camera manufactures that have a next shot time of 4 seconds, an hp, sony, or kodak.
The problem is to send back the camera I'll have to pay for shipping both ways , the restocking fee, and I will only get a perecetage back for the camera because I opened the package therefore it is now a used camera. Yeah they got a return policy, just make sure you read the fine print.
So I'll keep the camera for those outside shots and non moving objects
I am off shopping for a new camera for the inside shots of my grandson. you know the family dinners, the birthday parties, the weddings, just hanging out on grandpa's lap , 85% of my picture taking is inside and trying to catch those fleeting moments. Snap.......... 1.......... 2........... 3........... 4.......... 5.......... 6.......... 7.......... 8.......... 9.......... 10.......... 11.......... 12.......... 13.......... 14.......... As the batteries wear down the time between pictures gets longer and longer.Yep guess I'm going to need a new camera.
This time I will go to the store try it out and buy local.

I bought this along with Canon WP-DC12 Waterproof Case for Canon A570IS Digital Camera for a dive trip we did awhile back. They both worked great. Visibility wasn't that great but the camera did better than any other one I've tried. The "Underwater" setting did well and cut the "blue" effect and I didn't notice any back scatter in any of the photos so I'm guessing it helped there also.
This is a great "less expensive" dive camera combo. Note that you still have to get rather close for the flash to be effective but that could be fixed with an external flash.
I also use this camera for taking day to day photos. I really like the manual settings and I've taken some really nice photos with it. It isn't close to the picture quality of an SLR but it's a lot easier to carry around.
Only complaint is that it does go through batteries rather quickly. Normal NiMH batteries last about 30 shots. I've gone to the Lithium batteries and they do well, but are expensive.

I purchased this camera back in April of this year with the intent of using it for things like taking pictures for eBay listings and some casual family pictures.
The camera is full of features and I was able to finally figure several of the features after hours of research. The picture is very nice and the colors seem right on. Most digital cameras have that weird effect in different sunlight+shadows issue (a purple fringe along edges in that situation), but hardly noticeable unless you zoom in to a picture a lot.
I found that the video on this camera was AMAZING. I used it to put together some YouTube videos and even for higher quality stuff (camera does 640x480 video). Nice framerate and great picture, but get a bigger stick than 1gb if you want to do more than 30 minutes of video.
Now for the bad: This camera is notorious for having an issue with batteries. It will report your batteries are running low way way way too early. I read into this and it is a problem with several different users. I just leave the camera going and it lasts a long time, but that low battery light is going off the whole time (even though the batteries are not anywhere near half used). I got a nice set of Sony NiMH batteries for this camera that were more than enough for it's power needs, but the issue with inaccurate battery level detection continues.

I bought this camera for all the obvious features. It's a good camera, but it will very quickly give a light that says the batteries are low, then it will keep taking pictures a while. It was sent back to the factory, and was not fixed. Same problem. Just wanted to report this. Not happy with this particular camera.

Although I purchased this kit for the Powershop A620 sometime ago, I am now using it
for the Powershot A1000IS. The new camera is smaller so there is more room in the
case now. The charger really came in handy for trips outside the U.S.

Frankly, I think the A570IS hits the sweet spot. Great photo quality, excellent feature set (from full auto to full manual) and a good quality optical zoom.
My only complaint is that it seems to go through batteries incredibly quickly, so buy a good set (or 4) of rechargeable AA's. Oh, and set up the stabilizer to only work when you shoot, not when you frame.
Other than that, a great toss-it-in-your-bag-and-go camera (pretty tough too - my son left it out all night and it got filled with sprinkler water - we dried it out on the dash of a car, and it works as good as new. Really).

I recently purchased this a few weeks ago. I am quite happy with it. This is my first add-on lens ever. I love the fisheye effect and have been playing around with it. It's easy to attatch and dettach. It even has a macro lens built it, so you can get closer to a subject. The only negative thing I would say, is that you cannot use the flash, because the lens is in the way, so all you get is a shadow, so you'd have to get a add-on flash. And if you plan to travel around with it, it is bulky, so you'd have to keep attaching and dettaching it.
But other than that, I am really happy with this lens. It's a decent price, compared to the ones on the Canon website. I would suggest this for beginners of photography, or if you're like me, just like that fisheye effect. It really gives a wide angle view.

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.

I purchased this camera for my Mother in law. I have the A520, and it has been a solid performer for many years other than not doing a good job of reducing red eye in the picutres. This newer version does a better job, but they still need to improve on this with out question. It happens quite a bit more than it should, and yes, you can remove the red eye right on the camera, but many times, this can distort the persons true eye color, which in my opinion can ruin a picture. Therefore, because of this fault, I was not able to give a full 100% positive score. If you are set on a camera that is compact and has a 3" screen, than this will not be your camera, but if you like a mid-size camera that fits nicely in your hand while taking pictures, and has a moderate screen size with tons of features, this camera will do a great job outside the red eye effect.

This camera seemed to have everything we needed and for the first few months worked well. After using it for a month or two, the battery case stopped closing completely and the camera would not register that the batteries were charged (even with brand new batteries). Canon repaired it twice but it still does not work.

I have a Canon EOS 40D, had a Rebel XT, had a Canon Powershot A560, and now a Canon Powershot A570 IS. All that to show that I'm not a complete noob to cameras and picture taking.
The A570 IS is pretty much just like the A560. It is actually a little smaller than the A560. The only thing I don't like is the way you review pictures you just took, you have to switch a lever down to the Review instead of having a dedicated review button like the A560 has.
The manual controls on the dial (M AV TV P) is nice if you are feeling creative but lazy enough not to grab your DSLR. Getting to the menus is a simple matter of hitting the Func Set button and scrolling through the list. Manual Focus is easily turned on and really fun to work with.
The speed if this camera will greatly increase if you use a Rechargeable battery. Point and Shoots nowadays suck batteries in minutes... I highly recommend a Duracell or Energizer 2000mAh or 2650mAh battery. They will last forever and you'll get a decreased flash picture lag. Obviously, you'd get a DSLR if you were concerned about that. So, be aware that if you use normal AA batteries, they'll last you an hour tops or maybe 100 shots without flash before dying.
The Image Stabilizer is a nice addition to a point and shoot. It makes it easier to shoot in low light conditions and not get that "blur" that is so common. I'm guessing this will hurt battery life so again, highly recommend 2650mAh rechargeable batteries.
Only Complaints:
These things are fragile so if you drop them you'll be getting another camera. If you take care of your cameras like I do - it will last years.
The battery compartment is thin, flimsy, and difficult to shut properly. The trick is to push it down firmly before sliding it in to close. If you do that then the battery door is easy and simple to close.
Overall this is a GREAT point and shoot camera. Anyone looking for a cheap camera that takes amazing pictures and doesn't break the pocket book - this is your camera. This camera is highly recommended for kids who are learning photography as the buttons are big and sturdy. I gave my A560 to my little brother and he loves it.
5 Stars to Canon for an awesome camera.

I bought this camera and the features are incredible for the price. It feels a little cheap in the hands, but what doesn't that Canon makes these days?
I only have 1 issue with this camera that I didn't expect when I bought it...and that's blurriness when the lens is wide open. The right side of the pictures at apertures of 5.6 and larger (wider open) seem blurry, out of focus, and distorted. It's only about 10% if the image, but it's noticeable even on medium prints (5x7). Small prints probably not noticeable. If I stop down the aperture the blurriness goes away (f6.1 or smaller).
Other than that I have no complaints. It can focus great in lower light thanks to the decent AF-assist lamp. Flash is decent. It's very responsive to button presses
Flash cycling is very slow (about 8 seconds) but I knew that before I bought it and I'm ok with that, as it only has 2 AAs in it and I don't like using flash much anyway.
As far as image quality is concerned, I don't see much in the way of improvement in this DIGIC III over the older DIGIC II processing. There is definitely lower noise, but this no doubt due to more noise reduction. For consumers who print images directly from their camera, this is great. However I'd rather perform my noise reduction in post with NeatImage, so I prefer the DIGIC II processing.
I use the 'MyColors' setting with Saturation at +1, Sharpening at 0, Contrast at +1. This allows me to sharpen in post if I want to, however even without sharpening the images come out acceptable.
The White Balance settings are nice. It can be set manually which is awesome for a camera this cheap.
Concerning image quality settings, I forgoe the Superfine and just use the Fine setting. It looks just as good as the Superfine (to me) while allowing many more images to be stored.
I don't know if it was just my camera or they are all like this, but the removable lens ring around the barrel seemed to be loose, and rattled a little. I didn't notice this on my A710 IS, but perhaps the build quality is lower of this camera (in fact I know it is. This is a dangerous direction Canon is taking with their more recent products). I was considering buying the Lumix-LZ7 simply because it felt so nice in my hands, very solid and comfortable. But the image quality kept me away from that camera.
So, I would say great camera. Although I think the A710 IS is a bit better, not because the zoom range is better but because the lens is better concerning blurriness at shooting wide open.

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.

I bought this camera for my husband to take on his motorcycle trips and it is simply an amazing camera. He is not much of a photographer - all he does is literally point and shoot - whatever.
He has come home with a batch of wonderful snapshots of everything from the ocean to the mountains, photos taken of sunrise, sunset, rainbows, people inside and out, and to my total astonishment, the last trip he got a whole series of photos taken WHILE HE WAS RIDING HIS MOTORCYCLE--he stuck the camera out & started taking pictures. They all were in good focus, and we printed them all up.
The IS really, really, really works. His group photos are always good, and overall I would say he gets 95-98% good pictures. Highly recommend this camera for anyone who just wants to enjoy their day and take photos to commemorate the days.

Amazon came up with a great price for the A570IS. I was out to our local humane society and they had a list that they needed disposable cameras. I decided to get them a digital camera and in the long run save them the expense of developing the pictures so they could put them in the local paper and on Petfinders.com.
I own another Canon camera A630 which proved to me that Canon's are great cameras. That model costs about $100 more. I wanted to get a camera for my 13 year old nephew too and decided to get him a Canon and I decided to try the A570IS for both of them and thought I would try a less expensive model to see how that would work. I had wanted to donate part of my economic stimulus check and this was a good choice for me.
When I received the cameras, I tried one out one night at about 9 p.m., and turned out all the lights. It was completely dark in my living room and I snapped a picture aiming for the sofa and the picture hanging above it. To my amazement it acted just like the A630 and the snapshot looked as if I had every light on in the room. I knew then that the humane society could use this camera because they would get into situations of dark barns and puppy mill places and they would need a camera that would perform for them.
I leave my setting on Automatic. The humane society will maybe want to use the setting Kids and Pets. It is a great point and shoot camera and I know my 13 year old nephew will find it easy to use. And as he gets older he might light to try the different manual settings.
If you are tired of cameras not taking pictures in low level light situations, this camera will not disappoint you.

When I received the cameras, I tried one out one night at about 9 p.m., and turned out all the lights. It was completely dark in my living room and I snapped a picture aiming for the sofa and the picture hanging above it. To my amazement it acted just like the A630 and the snapshot looked as if I had every light on in the room. I knew then that the humane society could use this camera because they would get into situations of dark barns and puppy mill places and they would need a camera that would perform for them.
I leave my setting on Automatic. The humane society will maybe want to use the setting Kids and Pets. It is a great point and shoot camera and I know my 13 year old nephew will find it easy to use. And as he gets older he might light to try the different manual settings.
If you are tired of cameras not taking pictures in low level light situations, this camera will not disappoint you.

It started exhibiting problems with battery life a few months after purchase... Turns out that it is a common problem related to some factory defect with the battery compartment and many people are having it. I threw away mine, it was so annoying to be out of juice after taking 20 pictures or so.
BTW, I tried several different batteries with same results.

I own three of these and use them two at a time to shoot 3D photos. They may be used in a point and shoot mode easily and quickly.
My wife uses one of these too.
It is also possible to use them in a manual mode, programmed mode, shutter priority, or aperture priority. There are some great controls for the knowledgable user but it is easy for the causual user as well. The video is also of higher quality than a normal video camera. I have been impressed. I have since bought a pair of A590ISs that are also great.
The SX110 that I bought has a very nice 10x zoom that I find quite useful for GigaPan panorama (50 megapixel and larger) work.
Canon has done a nice job with these cameras.

I've bought this camera more than a year ago and used it a lot of times. I just use it for taking pictures for fun and I think it is ideal for that. I mostly use it in auto-mode and have used the macro a bit. I recommend it for those who just want to take pictures for their own purposes while traveling or on occasions. Also, the video function comes handy sometimes.

Every person who plans to buy this Canon PowerShot A570IS should read this review before purchasing this camera. The only reason why I gave this camera a 1 star is because its the only low rating star there is. I had the camera for about 24 hours, I turned it on, took a few shots and was impressed by the quality of pictures it took, especially the video. I was very careful with the camera even buying a case for it, only put it in my pocket once and I didn't drop it at all.
Within 24 hours of opening the box for this camera, I turned it on at the gas station to take some night pictures, the lens would not open and the words "Lens Error, Restart Camera" appeared on the screen, I thought maybe it was just the batteries, I changed the batteries thinking that they were dying which might of caused the lens to get stuck, nope, put a fresh new pair of batteries in and the lens would not open at all. Even when I turned it back on after shutting it off you can hear that the lens was struggling to open, hearing a grinding noise when you heard the lens opening.
I got this as an Anniversary gift, seems like the camera was not built very well. I came on here to read other stories about this lens issue, if you have read about how great the camera is with people who gave it 5 stars beware as good reviews can be misleading. For future buyers who plan to buy this camera read both the good and the bad reviews as the bad reviews can help identify major issues with the camera as with a good review only gives you the best features of what the camera can do. This lens error is a huge flaw for any Canon camera. You might have it for a couple of months or years but sooner or later the lens getting stuck will happen to you too. BUYER BEWARE!

I really love the camera, the face detection combined with image stabilization and reasonable price all make it a great product. One caveat that the instructions don't warn you about is the camera could turn on in camera mode while in your pocket or purse and the lens telescopes out to where it could be damaged. This happened to me because I had been carrying it with me wherever I went, it was so handy. But in my case, the lens must have come out in my pocket and somehow gotten jammed. It would no longer retract or turn on and an error message saying "restart camera" would appear. Since I could not get it to work and I had the camera for just over a month, I assumed that the warranty would cover it. I was wrong!!! The factory service said that I must have dropped it or somehow damaged the telescoping mechanism and that was not covered under the warranty, and they wanted to charge me $89 plus $8 for shipping. When I complained that I had not dropped or otherwise abused the camera, they reduced the charge by 50% to $44.50, plus $8 for shipping. That left me out $52.50 plus the $7.50 to send it in making a total out of pocket $60. This for a camera only a little over a month old and costing less than three times the amount to repair it. So be warned, if you decide to purchase this camera or any other similar Canon product, put the camera into the "Review" mode, not the "Camera" mode when not in use to prevent the telescoping mechanism from activating and damaging it.
This flaw is not covered in the instructions. Canon should cover any damage due to the mechanism turning on where the camera is not dropped or otherwise abused, under their warranty, and they should authorize shipment to their repair facility prepaid by Canon, so that the customer is not out of pocket. I only had the camera a little over a month, and I liked it so well I bought one as a gift, this was before I found that the instructions were flawed and the warranty bogus. So be aware before you decide to buy. Based on my experience with Canon and their warranty, I would not buy another Canon product unless they modify their instructions and warranty coverage.

I researched the camera and after positive reviews on Amazon, purchased it. I travel often and take pictures for business & personal reasons. I had a Kodak CX7430 and wanted something with more pixels, better video. After a few months of using it I found the quality of photos excellent, I can't comment on the video since I really haven't used it much yet. My real problem with this camera is the LCD screen. I keep my camera in a cushioned sleeve in my briefcase and travel with it regularly and never a problem with any other camera. 60 days with this camera and the screen was cracked on the inside portion. I took it to a local Canon service facility and was told this was a common problem and was not covered by the warranty. I paid $97.72 to repair the camera, not much different than the cost of the camera which was approx. $150.00. When I asked the repair associate what solutions are available so it doesn't happened again and she said to check the internet for a hard case. If this is such a problem with this camera, Canon should recommend and offer a hard case. Secondly, Canon should have a "first offense" repair so that your initial cost is reasonable and you can prepare yourself for future use, such as get a hard case which they should have but don't (I did get one on EBay). Thirdly, after paying my $97.72 and

I shoot a lot of stills and videos on the A570 with a 16GB SDHC card. I very rarely run out of battery power. If you're using regular disposable batteries, battery life will be disappointing. I use the SANYO Ni-MH 2700 rechargeable (AAs). They are excellent. I am sure there are other long-life batteries, but these work for me.
Great little camera that I carry in my purse. I've yet to explore all the functions. Kudos to Canon!

After using this camera for 1.5 yrs it quit altogether. Never have I had a camera that did not hold up under normal conditions. (I still have most of my old ones and they still function) Very disappointed.
