Digital Cameras : Canon PowerShot A570 IS

I bought this camera to replace the nikon that I already had....horrible camera I wanted to throw it into the hudson river. I looked for a camera for a whole year. It came down to the a710 or a570.I finally settled on the 570 after I did tons of research and went to the store and played around with them a little bit. I purchased it from j and r music world along with a power 2000 charger and rechargeable batteries. I also bought a 2gb sandisk ultra II memory card. This camera I would recommend it to someone who is looking for a camera with alot of features without a paying a whole lot of money.

I just got this camera yesterday, and I can't put it down. It has very good features. It takes very good indoor photos, and outside photos are phenominal. It has very good focus as well. This camera is equal to an SLR camera in that it can focus amazingly, and take gorgeous photos. This is one camera I'll keep for a long time. Five stars. :] Hide Full Review

I haven't used all the features yet, But the simple act of getting nice, clear shots without all the fuss (I use the automatic mode) makes this gem of a camera a no-brainer to use.
The acompannied software is easy to use and complete. You get three instruction guides which are simple to read and understand. The size is perfect, not too big and bulky and fits nicely in the hand. The zoom switch is around the shutter button, and a little difficult to maneuver if you have large fingers. Other than that I think it's a great little camera at a reasoable price. Hide Full Review
