 A Great Camera. September 3, 2007

I am and have been a photograhy fan for many many years. I have used all kinds of cameras, including a pentax manual professional camera which I used for over 20 years. I decided to buy this Canon brand and I am delighted with its easy handling, its color brightness, and sharp images. Like for every product you buy, you have to read the instrtuctions and learn how to operate your camera so you get the best results. I bought one just like it for my daughter last December and I was impressed by the quality of the pictures she sends me so I decided to have my own. I would buy the exact same camera again. Just great. Great price too.
Very pleased. September 22, 2007

I can begin to stress how pleased I am with this camera. Incredibly easy to use and takes fantastic pictures. It will eat up batteries so I would recommend a set of rechargeable batteries. Only negative that I have noticed is that it's a little tricky to do low level light shots, you need to make sure you are using higher ISO settings to get good pictures.
Image stabilization is FANTASTIC, and that alone makes this camera worth buying.
 Very nice pictures, but trouble with batteries - poor screen display - slow November 30, 2007

I'm weary from trying out 4 cameras - Canon A570, SD1000, SD850 and SD870. I actually had decided to go with A570 - I boxed the others up to return and was happy. However, by then, the 2 alkaline batteries that come with the camera had finally died and I replaced with the rechargable hi-quality batteries that were in my old, trusty Canon A85. The A570 rejected them and continually said "change battery!" So..I tried some other rechargables I had on hand - rejected those too! I even tried some plain alkaline batteries - it did accept those, but they were brand new. I don't understand it - my old A85 would take any batteries shoved in it, and my mom's A530 takes anything too with no issues at all. However, if after 3 tries, this camera only accepted brand new regular batteries, it just wasn't realistic to keep it. On the beach, heck - sand probably gets in the chamber of my A85 and it kept on truckin. I've read a few other people complain about this on A570, but not many, so maybe I got a lemon or maybe it was just me. In any case, I love the slightly bigger feel of this camera - it's actually easier for my husband to grip than the little compact cameras. I also found this camera to have a great standard layout of the play/camera switch, on/off button etc. And, it takes exceptional pictures for the price - really. It's bigger than the SD series which can be a good thing for my husband's big hands. But, the battery issue and the poor resolution screen just killed it for me. I couldn't see the screen from any angle except dead on center - viewing from the sides was total washout - the SD series screens were not that way at all. This screen washed out badly in bright sunlight outdoors and since I don't use viewfinder much, it just wouldn't work. Also, I found there to be a noticable lag time between flash shots that the SD series doesn't appear to experience.

I am not a camera expert- but this is my 2nd Canon Powershot...and I LOVE them. We have tried 2 other cameras for our daughter- this last one was the same pixels- major name brand and all- NOTHING like my powershot. As a family- the debate is over- Canon Powershot series or nothing. Great software- amazing camera- fantastic price- GREAT pictures- AWESOME features- WONDERFUL videos... couldn't be happier!
 The Point and shoot camera for the Digital Rebel XT user May 28, 2007

This camera is a pocket-sized SLR ! I mean it has all the capabilities of advanced Prosumer SLRs like the Rebel XT in a compact size. The Image Stabilization (IS) and Face Detection works well and is a very helpful capability. The full creative control is a major plus and is very similar to the Digital Rebel XT controls.
The Pros : good start up time, quick focus lock even in low light, face detection, IS, creative controls, AA batteries
The cons : Slow zoom, very average battery performance - about 50 flash shots drained 2 alkaline AA batteries.
