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.

Good camera 2x December 12, 2008
I purchased this camera as an identical replacement for one my daughter had lost in a state park in Calif. She was very happy with the camera so when I saw that the price had dropped significantly, I decided to purchase it for her again since she already knew how to use it and was pleased with the photo results.
 As close to a Leica M-series as you will get for $100 December 11, 2008
Pluses:
- Shutter lag is reduced big time over early Powershot models. It really isn't too much of a problem anymore. But it takes the flash forever to charge up with only 2 AA cells running the show.
- Only weighs a few ounces with 2xAA. A plus if you have an investment in NiMH AA cells, a minus if you compare it to LiIon. Forget about using alkalines, it will only cause you misery.
- Flash exposures, particularly at macro settings, are spectacularly better than older Powershots. Canon really got this right - in "party mode", and in macro (which I use a lot) the camera will get it right every time.
- A bit more aggressive about increasing the "film speed" in auto mode. My old A70 always tried to expose everything at "ASA" 50, even in low light, and I was always manually setting it to "ASA" 200 or 400 and forgetting to set it back. You can leave the A570 on "Auto" more of the time, and not worry about accidentally getting a whole day's worth of grainy, washed-out pictures at "ASA" 200.
- The image stabilization seems to work just fine.
Minuses:
- Still the same puny sub-pencil-eraser sized 1/2.5 sensor as earlier Powershots. "High ASA" exposures are still noisy.
- With only two AA batteries, only 100 or so pictures before your batteries die, even fewer with flash. This may not be much of a minus if you take only a few pictures at a time, and don't use flash too much.
- Optics are a bit better than older Powershots, but that's not saying much. Some distortion and aberration at full aperture. Stopped down, it's OK.
Of course if you think photo quality is proportional to how much money you spend, you'll hate this kind of camera. But I can't stand lugging around a two-pound DSLR brick. I switched to point and shoot cameras long before the world went digital, and for a few lucky years I had a Leica M-series I could borrow. The A570 is only a distant cousin to the Leica, but I won't be heartbroken if it dies or is lost.
 Outdated model ! do not buy ! November 25, 2008

I'm not against this camera
It's just that this model became outdated, and a newer model (A590 IS) is better and even CHEAPER than this
Canon PowerShot A590IS 8MP Digital Camera with 4x Optical Image Stabilized Zoom
 Decent... barely November 16, 2008
At first blush, I liked the camera a lot - pretty good quality overall. But after using it for a bit, its biggest drawback was apparent - the battery life is terrible. It uses standard AAA batteries, but they just drain down so quickly. In almost a year that I have owned the camera, by my rough calculation, I must have spent half of the camera price in batteries. And I really don't take that many pictures, we only used it on family occassions and other trips once in a while. I would not recommend this camera.
Camera = Good, Batteries / Recharger = DooDoo November 11, 2008
Canon PowerShot A570IS 7.1MP Digital Camera with 4x Optical Image Stabilized Zoom
Purchased camera for anniversary cruise photos, for which purpose the camera was quite satisfactory, with memory card holding over 500 images on the initial set of batteries [rechargeable].
Purchased extra set of rechargeable batteries, Canon batter charger, and Canon a/c auxiliary power setup.
After the first use of each set of new batteries, subsequent overnight recharges indicated "complete" -- i.e., blinking light on charger showed steady indicator. From that time on, the recharged batteries would only function to allow about 50 photos, before another recharge was required.
In addition, purchased AA batteries failed to produce more than 50 photos.
The recharged "rechargeable" batteries, both sets, will charge only to about 1.37 volts, and will not charge to a higher level.
This camera eats batteries, both Canon's "rechargeables" as well as commercial standard AA batteries.
If you plan to use the Canon A570IS as an AC unit only, then it is pretty good.
