A570 Likes & Dislikes
What I like about the A570:
- Image Stabilization - Continous, Shoot-only, Panning
- Dedicated Exposure Compensation button
- Print/Share button can be programmed to one of five frequently accessed functions, such as ISO or white balance (pg. 57 in the manual)
- Face Detection - took me by surprise; quite effective when photographing people
- Rare to find a digital camera in this price range with semi-automatic and full manual control
- Takes converter lenses
- Uses AA batteries
What I dislike about the A570:
- There is no longer separate battery and media card compartments; both under the same latch (the 2 1/2" LCD takes up a good deal of camera real estate)
- A lot of image noise at ISO 800 and above; ISO 400 is acceptable, particularly if you reduce images in size
- Very slow flash recycle time, though it actually triggers faster and sequentailly in continuous mode. Use fully charged batteries prior to taking flash photos for best flash performance.
