(5 stars) - my wife bought this for "me"
After careful research, my wife bought this camera for me as a replacement for my venerable Canon A400 (want to guess who has the A570IS and who is still traveling with the A400?). This camera has many of the same type features often associated with digital SLR's except for the fact that your can't swap out a plethora of lenses or add an external flash. The image stabilization has an untold multitude of shots for us. It is a perfect compromise between a simple point and shoot digital "instamatic" camera and the flexibility and capabilities (except for the aforementioned plethora of lenses)of a variety of Digital SLR's.

We also purchased the Canon underwater case for this camera and it makes the perfect combination for swimming, snorkeling, boating, and going to the beach.

(4 stars) - Cannon Powershot 2 yrs later
I bought this same camera in Aug-07 for $172.00/free s/h.

The part of the camera i STILL love, is how quickly i can switch it over to start recording short video clips of my grandsons~very important!

Yes, i have gotten my moneys worth out of it already, lots of great pics & videos I'm happy with...i just wish this camera would've lasted longer!

No matter what batteries i use/brand/just any, it no longer "takes" the battery & lets me take pics or videos, it immediately closes up on me, i can no longer use it at all :*(

I never did get to learn all the different features on this camera before it puked on me, my own fault...its not for 1st time users if you don't like to do alot of reading, messing around with all the features since its so much higher priced now than i payed...think you can find something cheaper money wise if you're like me & only used it for basic pics & quick video clips.

I had fun while it lasted..just glad i didn't pay this higher price.

(5 stars) - Great, wish it lasted longer!
This camera is amazing. It is a quality point & shoot camera which happens to have many manual controls as well! It takes fantastic night shots when using the 'indoor' mode and a steady trigger finger. Unfortunately, since this camera is no longer manufactured the price has skyrocketed due to it having a cult following... I bought this camera new from Amazon ~2 years ago for ~$130, now it is going for $400? Crazy. Instead of buying this camera it would be cheaper to buy the new Canon Powershot SX120 for ~$200 which has the same (if not more) manual controls as well as a 15x zoom and the new DIGIC 4 processor. If you want the A570 camera without the manual controls and a non-jacked up price you can get the new Canon Powershot A1000, A1100, or A2000 cameras. Battery live is rather pathetic with normal AA batteries, but rechargeable batteries give you great life. Enjoy!

(2 stars) - Battery sensor bad
I bought this camera for all the obvious features. It's a good camera, but it will very quickly give a light that says the batteries are low, then it will keep taking pictures a while. It was sent back to the factory, and was not fixed. Same problem. Just wanted to report this. Not happy with this particular camera.

(5 stars) - Great little Camera
We bought this for my Parents and they really love it. It's easy to use, nothing complicated about! Great little camera.
