Canon PowerShot A570 IS review

As the least expensive Canon camera to include optical image stabilization, the PowerShot A570 IS will no doubt receive a lot of attention this year. Its 7.1 megapixel CCD sensor and 2.5-inch LCD aren't remarkable among the current crop of compacts,...

Optical image stabilization; manual exposure controls; good performance; optical viewfinder

Noisy at higher ISOs

Despite excessive noise at higher ISOs, Canon's A570 IS offers an excellent value and an impressive feature set in its category.

Canon PowerShot A570 IS

The A570 looks pretty compelling next to the more expensive A710. About the only thing in the A710's favor is a bit more zoom power

Very good photo quality, noise levels low through ISO 400 (in good light) ; Great value for the money ; Optical image stabilization ; More "zoom" than competition ; Snappy performance ; Large 2.5" LCD visible in low light ; Full manual controls, plus...

Noisy images above ISO 800 ; Redeye remains a problem (though now you can remove it in playback mode) ; Zoom setting not shown on LCD ; LCD resolution could be better ; Plastic tripod mount ; Small memory card included

The PowerShot A570 IS is the definition of an excellent value. It's packed with virtually every desirable feature, from image stabilization to manual controls to conversion lens support. And you don't have to pay through the nose for it, either -- it...
