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.

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.

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.
