Digital camera reviews of Canon PowerShot A570IS 7.1MP Digital Camera with 4x Optical Image Stabilized Zoom
Digital camera Review: Excellent camera -- video capture is good, too!
Summary: 5 Stars
I bought this camera for just $[...], right here at Amazon! I suppose that was a promotional discount.
I have enjoyed every moment of owning this camera. The memory card provided with the camera holds only a couple of shots; the first chance you get, replace it with a larger-capacity card with a minimum of 1 gigabyte.
You can easily turn the autofill flash off. Hardly any flash is needed for outside photos anyway. This makes the cycle time (time lag between one shot and the next) shorter, and the battery last longer. Use the best batteries you can find; the lithium batteries (about $[...] a pair) are the best. A 1GB card can hold hundreds of photos.
Uploading the photos into your computer requires a card-reader (about $[...]), if your computer doesn't have a built-in card reader. They do not need to be installed if your system is XP or more recent (and something similar for Macs, no doubt). The photos live in a folder on the card called DCIM, or something like that. You simply select the ones you want, and drag them across to your computer. The included software will enable you to (1) resize the pictures, (2) crop them, (3) rotate them, and (4) print them. With better software, all sorts of magic is possible.
The camera EVEN TAKES VIDEOS. I have taken tons of videos, and even the sound is good. Here are some examples; the sound quality is simply because I'm using the tiny microphone on the camera, and not the microphones they're using; THOSE were to make a huge noise, which is apparently important for rock groups: http://xrl.us/Dinosaur2
It comes across as a AVI file, which can be made into a DVD with the software microsoft bundles in with their operating systems. I'm sure this capability is common in cameras, but I never expected to be able to make videos of this quality with just a still camera. NOTE: you must set the resolution to high quality on the camera beforehand. I can't remember how this is done; until I did this, I could only take low-quality videos, which invariably shut off after three minutes, and were of a small size. (Actually, I think I remember setting it that way without thinking when I took my first video. So it's quite possible that the default setting is to make high-quality videos.) The total length of time a clip can be depends on the size of your memory card; I remember reading somewhere how many megabytes a minute used up, but I forget. I think it was right in the user's guide.
Another Note: The user's guide has references to basic information and advanced information. These references are to the TWO GUIDES that come with the camera. The books are referring to each other. (I point this out because it didn't strike me that that was what was going on.)
In sum, highly recommended indeed. No problems whatsoever.

Life doesn't give you second chances to capture special times.

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.
