Digital camera reviews of Canon PowerShot A570IS 7.1MP Digital Camera with 4x Optical Image Stabilized Zoom
Digital camera Review: A Wonderful Piece of Equipment
Summary: 5 Stars
We received this camera just in time for a cruise to the Bahamas. We took almost 400 pictures. Previously, we took an SLR camera and a set of lenses on these excursions and we got good photographs. But, it was anything but convenient. This Canon camera gave us quite comparable photos and I could carry it in my pants pocket! Perhaps best of all, it cost less than any one of the SLR lenses!
The automatic features are pretty good. It's hard to beat them except for unusual conditions. There are quite a few automatic modes in addition to the "P" and "Auto" ones, but you won't be disappointed for your "point and shoot" pictures if you leave it in one of these modes. There are 7 others including a panoramic mode. The "scene" mode has 6 submodes! Each of these make subtle exposure changes. You may also set any or all of the exposure factors manually. It's easy to do with this camera.
Digital camera Review: A definitely recommended choice at this price!
Summary: 5 Stars
This camera is the first digital camera I own. I used traditional cameras of several brands before, and I must say this camera is a good substitute for my old cameras. Ok, here's pros and cons:
Pros:
1. 7.1 mega pixels are sufficient for non-professional users;
2. 4X optical zoom can handle most scenes;
3. Various modes enable you optimize the quality of your photos;
4. Small size and light weight, easy to carry;
5. Image stabilizing technology significantly enhances photo quality;
6. Good software included (you can combine different photos of the same scene to generate a LARGE photo);
7. Using separately purchased AA batteries, no need to worry about battery life;
8. At least not rookie-like look.
Cons:
1. Mediocre LCD screen (yet competent);
2. Optical zoom may not be enough for some photographic 'maniacs';
3. Noise signal appears considerably above sensitivity of ISO400.
To sum up, this is absolutely a wise choice around $150.00. No need to hesitate if you just wanna take photos for fun.
Digital camera Review: A fine camera
Summary: 4 Stars
The a570is is a very nice camera. It has the features that you'd expect to find in a good digital camera these days plus image stabilization. The most important feature that I was looking for is difficult to evaluate until you use the camera and that's ease of use. The a570is is extremely easy and intuitive to use, even if you don't care to read the manual from cover to cover. This is my third digital camera and it's by far the easiest to use.Digital camera Review: A fine camera - nice feel to it.
Summary: 5 Stars
I now buy my electronics on Amazon based upon their "best seller" status as well as customer reviews. This was high in both categories and now that I own it I understand why, it's a great camera. While it's not quite small enough to fit in your shirt pocket, I like the feel of its rounded front - allows a great grip. Picture Quality is great too.Digital camera Review: A gift ...
Summary: 4 Stars
I purchased this as a gift and the receiver is truly excited about the capabilities of this camera. I have the same camera, but it doesn't have the Image Stabilization and I regret not getting one like this for myself. The Image Stabilizer is a great assest. I went on a cruise this past fall and could have used the IS feature greatly.
