This camera has left me extremely satisfied. To start with, the screen is much bigger than my previous camera (Canon Powershot A530). The pictures come out great. I have tried most of the settings and they work. (It is going to be a while to try snow because we do not have snow in this part of Texas very often) I live in Galveston Bay.
It is also the same weight as my previous camera so it is very easy to carry and transport. The movie flicks feature seems to make bettermovies (I will have to talk to my friends in Hollywood about this) (Just kidding, people)
I got it with the "free" 2GB card and it is fantastic!!!! Now I can store more pictures in a trip, for example.
I think I am going to keep this camera for a while........
I have been taking lots of pictures with this camera and they come out great!!!
August 2009
I am still very satisfied with this camera although there are newer and more powerful cameras now that I would love to try. Since I am a teacher (unemployed now) I will not be able to change cameras this year. However, I still do enjoy enormously the pictures I take with this camera. I took a trip overseas this year and everyone commented on my camera and the quality of pictures for such a small and not sophisticated camera. It is still a winner!!!!
After a few months with this camera, I still give it 5 stars. It takes great pictures inside and outside. I am teaching science at a Nature Center and the pictures of the reptiles came out fantastic. The pictures we took outside of an alligator in the pond shows great details. For example, I had not noticed there was a turtle taking a ride on top of the alligator's back, but it came out very well in the picture.
Shots of my students doing activities are also very good. Like I said before, this is a keeper!!!


Adding the right accessories significantly increased the usefulness of this camera for my purposes. I purchased a SanDisk Extreme III 2 Gb SD memory card. Using this, the camera can record over 18 minutes of continuous 640x480x30fps video, or over 900 pictures at 7 megapixels using fine JPEG compression settings.
I also purchase 2700mAh Powerex NiMH batteries. I don't know exactly how long they last because I have never received a low battery indicator light. I did test them once by recording 18 minutes of video, then playing it back, then taking 900 pictures without flash. Having filled the memory card twice, I gave up on trying to see how long they last in the camera.
The largest drawback in the camera is noise in the picture. When viewed at full resolution, most pictures show some degree of inconsistent coloration at the pixel level (unlike my Digital Rebel pictures). This is not an issue unless making very large prints. 4x6 prints look great. I have not tried 8x10, but it appears that they will be fine. Larger than 8x10 could be an issue.
Shutter lag is almost non-existent. I have been able to take sports shots with this camera with no problem.

I tried changing a number of different settings (focus, light balance, shutter speed, face recognition, etc), but no crisp, focused image could be produced. Consulting the owners manual offered little help as it contained limited troubleshooting advice surrounding issues involving focusing. Restoring default settings or putting the camera on autofocus still didn't help. I even tried changing subjects (close-up macro, distance, outdoors, etc). The camera repeatedly produced an out-of-focus image.
i'm not sure what i can do with this camera now, except undertake warranty protection. I even bought a waterproof case for it since i planned to use it on a jet-ski. i guess that case is useless too.
I'm not sure if this is a manufacturer's flaw or the camera was previously damaged by the seller prior to its delivery.
Buyer beware.

Strengths:
Takes very good pictures (color, sharpness, etc)
Easy to use, yet it has very advanced features available (including full manual)
Fits well in my hand and the controls are well placed.
Almost no shutter lag
Image stabilization works well.
Takes AA batteries.
Weaknesses:
Canon should have had 4 batteries in this camera! It would have resolved all these problems:
-Long recharge time for flash (can't take pictures during this time)
-Short battery life
-Smaller grip than my PowerShot A80 - not as much space for my hand
-I liked the slightly heaver feel of my A80
But overall a great camera. I would strongly recommend having at least 6 rechargeable AA batteries. Two in the camera and two (or more) charged sets of two in the camera bag ready to put in the camera.
It is better than my old A80 (which I loved and used for 4 years), but if they had put 4 AA batteries in it (like the A80) it would almost have been perfect.

I got the new Canon with a gift card, so the price was a key factor. If I had to do it again, I would get the new Sony and deal with the battery issue.
Also thought my batteries were going out too quickly with Canon, but now have new re-charge unit and batteries are lasting longer. So check out your re-charge unit if this is an issue with you.

Overall, this is by far the best digital camera I've owned. Previously I've used a Sony DSC-W5 and Nikon Coolpix L3 -- all were in the $200+ range.
Shutter lag on this camera is minimal. I've missed many pictures of my dogs in the past because they've run out of frame during the time from when I pushed the shutter button to when the camera actually took the shot. I've not had that problem at all with this camera. Using the kids/pets setting, it uses a fast enough shutter speed to stop the action as well.
I also like the Shutter Priority priority mode as well. It allows me to set whatever shutter speed I think is necessary for the shot, and the camera takes care of everything else. It flashes a warning if I have the shutter set too fast for available light.
Other useful features I've noticed making a difference is the "face recognition" technology and the "Image Shake" reduction. There are lots of bells and whistles on cameras that I do not use, but with these two I have had very few bad pictures.
The flash has FAR better coverage than the Nikon. I frequently had shadows at the edge even when the subject was fairly close. While not as good as a separate hot shoe flash on a SLR, this flash is the best I've had on a compact digital.
Finally, I love the optical viewfinder! I take many photos outdoors in bright sunlight that can be difficult to frame with any LCD screen. The viewfinder is a lifesafer in those situations. It is easy to compose a photo and so far they have turned out perfectly when using the camera this way.
This camera has tons of features that I have not mentioned. I just listed those most important to me and the way I take photos. I would highly recommend this camera to potential buyers.


I found little difference in leaving the camera on auto vs some of the other settings in the quality of the pictures which were all excellant. The pictures I took in a cave came out dark and I did switch to Night time mode and they were better. There are a number settings that basicly either adjust the f stop or exposure time while holding the other at a predetermined fixed value.I haven't had the camera long enough to appreciate the difference between all the settings. I believe the average person will do best by leaving it on auto except in very low light condition. I feature that Canon has on its cameras is a view finder, which has gone missing on other brands. Hence the reason I did not consider another Olympus.Without the view finder you have to frame the picture with the screen which has to be on during picture taking and draining battery power. Also it takes away from the moment because you have to position yourself in strong light condition to keeping the screen from washing out as well as hold it at arm's length. You can't go wrong with this camera. The only reason I didn't give it 5 stars is because I didn't test the others

As for image shake - read the instruction book and you'll have no problems. The camera needs some time to compensate so don't just push the button down in one motion. It needs to be first pushed halfway which triggers the stablization and image evaluation. If the camera determines it can't take an image without blurring it will give you a icon indication to change parameters to avoid blurring. Otherwise it will compensate.
After having this camera for several months I'm still discovering new things it can do. For the price it is an incredible buy. Don't let the naysayers regarding battery life, image shake and so called problems with closing the battery door discourage you. The door just doesn't snap shut, it needs to first closed then move the locking tab.
Read the instructions and you should have no problem. However, I must admit it will take several hours of reading to fully understand what this camera can do.

After reading the reviews, I was excited to buy the camera for such a low price. After getting this camera and taking the same exact picture with my old sony and the new canon(same image, lighting), the two pictures came out vastly different. The canon picture was noisy and grainy looking while the cybershot came out really clear. I am not even a photography-type person. I am just an average user and even these pictures' quality were not good enough for me. So all I have to say is, I am never buying a canon again.
The only reason I am giving it a 3 and not a 2 is cause this camera does have a lot of features and really, that is the ONLY plus.

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



A cheap camera for an occasional outdoor point-and-shooter.
By far the strongest point of this camera is its low price.
It is not as rugged and portable as Sony DSC-T models,
and does not produce the spectacular image quality of
more expensive Canon models.
Pro:
Inexpensive and fairly portable, although somewhat fragile.
Uses AA batteries that can be changed conveniently: the battery
door opens even with the camera mounted on a tripod adapter.
A movie mode with optical Image Stabilization at 640x480 @ 30 fps.
Con:
Comparing to more expensive Canon cameras the image quality is
lower, although sufficient for many purposes. ( A850IS image
quality is slightly better, and any canon SLR is vastly better
in this respect)
Surprisingly high power consumption -- on a cold day fresh
batteries last 15min if camera is used continuously -- although
batteries can be changed very easily.
The lens has more limited macro range comparing to Sony cameras
with internal lenses (starting with DSC-T1 and the follow-up models).

This camera is superb. My only gripe, however, is with the camera's size. For all I know, this is as small as a camera with 4x zoom can be, but I probably would have preferred a slightly more compact camera. Additionally, the A570IS eats up batteries, but I cannot fault it for that, since it uses only 2 AA batteries, and using only 2 keeps the camera lightweight. I've also read that it is a good idea to obtain rechargeable lithium ion batteries to solve this problem.
Overall, this camera is great within its price-range. I'd recommend it to anyone.


I like the pictures I take, but I'm no pro and there is always someone whose pictures I admire more. I have one friend who consistently takes great shots. When a bunch of us attended a wedding last summer, there was a vibrancy to her shots that mine couldn't quite match. Since she swore by her Canon Power Shot, I thought I'd give the A570IS a chance. This weekend I had both the A570IS and the SP-320 with me on a weekend jaunt and took half of my pictures with each camera, swapping back and forth between the two.
Both cameras use two AA batteries. Both have optical viewfinders. Both have more modes than the casual picture taker will ever need.
In my hands, the picture quality is almost indistinguishable. In some settings I prefer the Olympus; in others, the Canon, so the A570SI is going to be returned since I'm well within the return period. However, if I had the option of returning the Olympus, too, I'd keep the Canon. Here's why:
* The Canon is slightly smaller. The bulge on the Olympus makes it harder to find a suitable case.
* The Canon's mode selector dial clicks firmly into place, unlike the Olympus's which is very loose. The Olympus's dial often moves when the camera is removed from its case. Not so, the Canon.
* The Canon has 4x zoom compared to the Olympus's 3x. Also, the digital zoom is better implemented in the Canon. The Canon stops at full optical zoom. If the zoom slider is released and reengaged, the digital zoom is applied. This is true even in Auto mode. The Olympus's digital zoom is not readily available in every mode. When digital zoom is available or turned on, it lacks the Canon's pause at the end of optical zoom.pause.
* The A570IS uses a standard mini-B USB connector rather than what appears to be a proprietary type for the Olympus.
None of these--or even all of them together--are enough to make me keep the Canon and put the Olympus up on eBay or Half, but they'd be enough to get me to pick the Canon if I didn't already own the Olympus.
