Digital camera reviews of Canon PowerShot A570IS 7.1MP Digital Camera with 4x Optical Image Stabilized Zoom
Digital camera Review: A570 IS - Great Pics - needs the right batteries
Summary: 4 Stars
This camera takes great pictures without the flash. With the flash in auto mode, it sometimes over exposes. Requires you to have Eneloop or other type of slow discharge NIMH batteries, otherwise it drains batteries very quickly. Note: You have to have a good charger - I've got a great one by Maha that tops off the batteries nicely. Quick chargers don't get the batteries to their full charge very well.
Love the camera, especially for the price.
Digital camera Review: A570IS Cannon
Summary: 5 Stars
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.
Digital camera Review: A570IS takes shots in dark places
Summary: 5 Stars
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.
Digital camera Review: AS570IS
Summary: 4 Stars
I bought this camera for my wife. She does not like high tech anything! the size and convenience factor made her a believer. It produces excellent photos due in part because of the image stabilization feature. The quality of construction, the size, and the long battery life makes this one of the best I've seen. My camera is a Nikon D70, big, much more complicated and versital, but I know I'll be borrowing my wifes Canon a lot!Digital camera Review: After a few pictures it is what I expected
Summary: 5 Stars
I have used the camera a few times. Image is good, easy to use for the easy pictures I usuallly take. I purchased a 2GB SD card and even with that extra expense it was a great deal.
