Editorial Review:
Life doesn't give you second chances to capture special times. That's why the elegant PowerShot A570 IS is equipped with Canon's acclaimed Image Stabilizer Technology that automatically detects and corrects camera shake - one of the leading causes of fuzzy or blurred shots. So now even when you're zooming in tight you can get the steady, crisp, brilliant images. 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.

This is a GREAT Camera:
Canon PowerShot A590IS 8MP Digital Camera with 4x Optical Image Stabilized Zoom Great Camera! Fantastic Photos! Good Price! Easy and simple to use in many different photo situations. I really found having both an LCD and an Optical Viewfinder a great feature. Optical Viewfinder is an advantage when taking photos in bright sunlight and the LCD has an advantage in indoor or dim lighting conditions. The AA Batteries, that power this unit, can be purchased almost anywhere in the world and spares are easy... more info
Good camera 2x:
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:
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... more info
Outdated model ! do not buy !:
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It's just that this model became outdated, and a newer model (A590 IS) is better and even CHEAPER than this Canon PowerShot A590IS 8MP Digital Camera with 4x Optical Image Stabilized Zoom
