 It's a good deal for the price May 13, 2007

I am not a pro in digital cameras but I like the one I purchased, really do. Besides all the advantages it has the big LCD so it's really convenient.
Everything is good except one thing: power supply. You have to purchase new batteries every time(but they last quite a long time though) or the battery charger which is like about 42 bucks. But anyway, I liked the item and sure Canon is always the best.
PS: I saw the AC adapter in the system map which comes with the camera but I doubt that it will fit with the camera..or not..anyway, someone write what you think of that. I'm about to buy the battery charger though.
Peace,

I bought a digital primarily because I hated developing film and not knowing if the shot I thought I got was actually what was captured. With children, who move so quickly, you never know what you're going to get. I hated paying for an entire roll of film only to find that only 1/3 of the pictures were even close to what I had hoped for.
I was a little intimidated by all the features, but this is truly a user-friendly camera. Even when switching from still photo mode to video mode, it's a pretty quick transition, even if you want to adjust some of the shooting features. Even after briefly glancing over the instructions, I found that it was very easy to learn how to use the features and make the most of my shots.
I highly recommend buying the Canon batteries and charger. We used a different type of rechargeable camera battery and th battery life was definitely as good. The Canon batteries made a huge difference in the lag between photos, too. The flash seemed the charge faster and the transition from "photo review" to "ready to take another picture" was shorter. Again, when you have kids, sometimes the next 2 seconds is when they do that thing you were waiting for!
We also bought the case for this camera. The strap is a good length - I can loop it around the stroller handle and it's good to go - still protected in the bag and easily accessible.
All in all, I loved this camera's versatility and ease of use. Even uploading the photos was quick and easy and the software it comes with is pretty self-explanatory.
This is a great camera for parents!
Great Point & Shoot May 6, 2007

Unfortunately or Fortunately, I briefly owned a Canon SD630. After it was lost/stolen, I began searching for a new digital camera. Canon's are great cameras, but they usually underacheive inside...i.e. low light situations. Bottom Line, the A570is isn't the best camera in low light situations. However, it's a great all around point and shoot. The greatest advantages over the SD630 are the image stabalizer, zoom (to include digital), face finder, overall comfort/feel, ability to add lenses and 2xAA batteries. Only negative of camera is the time to recharge flash (flash works very well though).
Outstanding Camera, Image stabilization is amazing April 27, 2007

Best camera in this price class. The IS feature is amazing, must have feature. The only complaint is the flash recharge time is a little slow due to 2 AA batteries. If you take lots of indoor pics, go for the Canons with 4 AA batteries (A6xx). For sports and kids this a great camera.
Excellent camera April 16, 2007

My current camera is an Olympus SP-320. You can read my review on that product page, if you wish.
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.
