Digital camera reviews of Canon PowerShot A570IS 7.1MP Digital Camera with 4x Optical Image Stabilized Zoom
Digital camera Review: Amazing camera!!
Summary: 5 Stars
A great camera any way you look at it. For the price, there is not a camera on the market that compares to it. It has optical image stabilization, full manual controls, takes many optional accessories including wide angle lenses and tele lenses and a great movie mode all for $196 plus free Kingston 1gb SD card with amazon code.
This is my first 2.5" LCD screen. I love it, and the grid-lines are really nice in squaring up a shot. The on screen info is useful and not intrusive. I have had no problems with the Menu or Function buttons, probably because this is my first Canon.
Movie clips are not bad, even though I shoot 640x480 at 30fps.
5 stars!
Digital camera Review: Amazing little camera--great value
Summary: 5 Stars
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.
Digital camera Review: An easy to use little camera
Summary: 4 Stars
I have never been a camera person and went through life letting others take pictures. Thus, I was missing out on all of the memories. I wanted a camera that was easy to use and reliable but still had all of the bells and whistles if I decided to learn more. The Canon A570IS fits this bill admirably. The auto setting allows one to take splendid photos without worrying about red eye and image stabilization. A big bonus is that the camera uses two AA batteries including rechargeables and SD cards which are easy to find. The camera comes with two manuals, basic and advanced. The basic manual is OK for getting started. However, the advanced manual is poorly written, especially for a novice like me. I definitely recommend this camera if you want something that is easy to use and takes excellent photos. It also has enough features for an intermediate user who wants to learn more about camera operation. If you purchase the camera go through a legit site like Amazon. I used Amazon as it had the best price with free shipping and no tax if you are willing to wait for 8-9 days. Places like Tiger and New Egg are also good places to order from. Avoid the New York retailers as they are rip offs. The prices may be a few dollars cheaper but if you don't buy the way over priced extras the camera will suddenly be unavailable or out of stock.Digital camera Review: An excellent camera!
Summary: 4 Stars
This camera is bulkier than most "pocket" digital cameras, so if you are looking for something tiny then pass this one up. On the other hand, if you want a low-cost camera that takes top-quality photos and has a real "optical" viewfinder (in addition to the LCD), plus extensive manual-override settings, this should definitely be on your short list.
The camera is fast to start up and--most important for me--quick to actually take a picture when you press the shutter button. The manual overrides are great and, if you understand how to use them, let you take great photos where conditions confuse digital camera "smarts". The controls are easy to understand and easy to use. The image stabilization works very well, and there is nothing better than having an optical viewfinder for action shots and taking photos in bright sun.
Digital camera Review: Another Winner
Summary: 5 Stars
There are so many reviews of this product, I will keep this one short. Image Stability and Flash quality and coverage are outstanding. I have never seen a compact with the flash capability of this one. Autofocus is outstanding, and the autofocus LED helper is flawless. Face-recognition is flawless. The number of shooting options is dazzling. Menus extremely easy to navigate, no need thus far to read the two huge manuals. Not many decent cameras left out there with AA batteries and an optical viewfinder. Very easy to grab, but a little chunkier than I would like. Folks, there's a good reason why this camera has so many reviews!
