Overview
The new Canon A570IS combines a full feature set including optical image stabilization, full manual control (if you want it) and enough megapixels to get the job done, all for a very affordable price. A great family and vacation camera for those on a budget, it can take pictures in everything from low light situations to landscapes. The manual focus ability allows prefocusing, which lets you capture those shots where you don’t have a lot of time to waste, such as pictures of children or pets. The A570 IS allows the shooter exactly as much control as they want, from full manual to auto mode for those who want the true ‘point and shoot’ experience.
My Best In Class Pick
Canon PowerShot A570 IS
The Canon A570 IS has it all on a budget.
- The full range of controls, allowing the shooter the opportunity to experiment and grow in their skill is a wonderful addition to a point and shoot camera.
- Image stabilization is such a welcome addition to low-light and telephoto shots, making the percentage of ‘keepers’ that much higher.
- The manual focus option is a necessity for taking action shots, and the extra zoom range is always welcome.
- The use of AA batteries means if you ever run out, the nearest store is bound to have some available.
Not having to worry about a proprietary lithium-ion battery makes the Canon more of a family camera, and the full controls offered will give you a wider range of shooting possibilities that you will doubtlessly encounter in a family setting.
