What Customers Say About Canon PowerShot A570IS 7.1MP Digital Camera with 4x Optical Image Stabilized Zoom:

A few month's later, the lens would periodically not open or shut completely, despite having fresh batteries. I did a lot of pondering over buying my digital camera, and now that I have used this camera for 18 months, I feel I can give some insight with experience. Generally, I have been pleased with my pictures and camera performance, but after the 1 yr. It would suddenly correct itself, but I could not predict when it would work, and when it wouldn't. I would rather invest that $$ in a new camera.I did also experience some problems with faded background color with pictures that had sunlit backdrops, but overall I liked the camera, its options, and my pictures. warranty was up, my camera started malfunctioning.
Finally, the lens quit opening all together. I purchased this camera because of its options: manual settings, viewfinder, uses AA batteries, as well as a decent price and Canon's good reputation. I tried cleaning around the lens casing with an alcohol wipe just in case some dirt or dust was causing the problem, but it didn't help. First, it started having problems with the white balance. My display would occasionally go almost completely white, and the pictures came out the same way. A call to Canon customer service ended up with them telling me I would have to send the camera in for repair at a cost of at least half the purchase price.
My biggest disappointment was this camera's lack of durability.
After using this camera for 1.5 yrs it quit altogether. Never have I had a camera that did not hold up under normal conditions. (I still have most of my old ones and they still function) Very disappointed.
It started exhibiting problems with battery life a few months after purchase. Turns out that it is a common problem related to some factory defect with the battery compartment and many people are having it. I threw away mine, it was so annoying to be out of juice after taking 20 pictures or so.BTW, I tried several different batteries with same results.
Frankly, I think the A570IS hits the sweet spot. Great photo quality, excellent feature set (from full auto to full manual) and a good quality optical zoom.My only complaint is that it seems to go through batteries incredibly quickly, so buy a good set (or 4) of rechargeable AA's. Oh, and set up the stabilizer to only work when you shoot, not when you frame.Other than that, a great toss-it-in-your-bag-and-go camera (pretty tough too - my son left it out all night and it got filled with sprinkler water - we dried it out on the dash of a car, and it works as good as new. Really).
I am glad to buy this Camera as it gives really nice pics everytime.
