Top Canon Powershot A570 IS Camera Reviews
DCResource wrote a review on the
Canon Powershot A570 IS and said: "While it won't break any
records, the A570 is a good performer overall. It starts up in
1.4 seconds, focuses quickly (even in low light), and shutter
lag isn't an issue. Shot-to-shot delays are minimal. Like all
recent Canon cameras, the A570's continuous shooting mode lets
you keep shooting -- at 1.6 frames/second in this case -- until
your high speed memory card fills up. Battery life was above
average."
Lets Go Digital wrote a review on the
Canon Powershot A570 IS and said: "The image quality of the
Canon PowerShot A570 IS camera is great. The colours are
saturated and appear natural. The saturation is a bit strong for
my taste, but that is a personal preference. The Canon PowerShot
A570 IS may not perform perfectly in extreme artificial
lighting, but a simple white balance correction will resolve
this problem immediately."
Canon Powershot A570 IS News Release Summary:
Advanced Technology, Canon Premium Quality and Renowned
Reliability Make These Compact Digital Cameras Easy To Use, Easy
To Afford and Easy To Love
LAKE SUCCESS, N.Y., February 21, 2007 – With the introduction of
the PowerShot A570 IS digital camera, Canon's A-Series
cameras have once again come to the rescue of consumers just
joining the digital photo revolution, as well as those who are
already in the photo-fray, and are waiting for top-tier
technology to trickle down before they trade-up.
Although the line's "A" designation stands for the convenient AA
batteries it accepts, it could easily stand for "affordable" or
simply reflect the consistently high marks that these
feature-packed PowerShot digital cameras earn from camera users
and digital camera advocates alike. These two newest A-Series
digital cameras continue to deliver on Canon's long-standing
commitment to produce the highest quality cameras at the highest
possible value to consumers. Indeed, Canon's A-series of cameras
have long been heralded as a top-featured, entry-level line of
digital cameras and rewarded with considerable consumer
loyalty1.
"As Canon leads the way in digital camera design, innovation and
image excellence, we are also seeking ways to put the power of
those imaging advances into the hands of digital camera users
everywhere," states Yuichi Ishizuka, senior vice president and
general manager of the Consumer Imaging Group at Canon U.S.A.,
Inc. "We are very proud that our new PowerShot A570 IS and
PowerShot A560 digital cameras continue to fulfill that
commitment and deliver on the promise of high quality and
affordability."
Sophistication Made Simple
Both the PowerShot A570 IS digital
camera is built with the kind of intuitive engineering that
makes taking great pictures as simple as pointing and shooting.
From the cameras' Face Detection technology that detects
multiple human faces in a scene and the new Red-eye Correction
feature that greatly reduces that cursed condition that can
occur with flash photography, to the on-board Intelligent
Orientation Sensor that automatically detects whether the camera
is being held and shot vertically or horizontally, these Canon
cameras give users the freedom to shoot and share their photos
with incomparable ease. The new models also feature a large and
bright 2.5-inch 115,000 pixel LCD color display, making it
easier to review captured images, perform on-camera editing and
read and select menu options.
DIGIC III
The "brain" of these new PowerShot A-Series digital cameras is
DIGIC III, the newest iteration of Canon's ultra-efficient (and
proprietary) image processor. Previously available only on
Canon's most advanced digital cameras, the DIGIC III image
processor accounts for the camera's higher performance levels
including faster start up, autofocus and shutter response times,
improved image quality and more efficient power consumption;
resulting in extended battery life under typical shooting
conditions.
With Canon's new Face Detection AF/AE/FE technology, the camera
can detect, lock on and track multiple human faces in a scene
simply by pressing the shutter button halfway. The face
detection algorithm automatically prioritizes and selects faces
and not simply the closest object. It will then optimize the
focus, exposure, and flash to help ensure the best possible
results. Working in concert with Face Detection, the "Red-eye
Correction" feature helps to detect and correct red-eye during
playback mode. Images can be corrected manually while viewing
photos on the LCD screen. Canon's new Face Detection Technology
makes for even easier picture taking moments, helping users to
ensure in-focus smiles, and assist in the elimination of
overexposed faces.
In addition, the DIGIC III image processor has a more aggressive
noise reduction algorithm enabling PowerShot A-Series owners to
shoot at ISO equivalent speed ratings from 80 to a super high
1600 for increased low light photo flexibility. This sensitivity
at the top-end allows the camera to utilize faster shutter
speeds, significantly reducing the effects of camera shake and
subject movement during hand-held or low-light photography.
The PowerShot A570 IS Digital Camera
The 7.1 megapixel PowerShot A570 IS digital camera takes its
place as the new "A-team" value champ with its impressive 4x
(35mm-140mm equivalent) zoom lens and Canon's advanced Optical
Image Stabilization (OIS) that significantly reduces the effects
of camera shake (and the ruined pictures they cause). Not just
an electronic "optical illusion" that can diminish image quality
in the cause of modest image stability, Canon's "lens shift"
optical system actually allows the lens to physically compensate
for camera movement, even when that movement is caused by
extended telephoto or low-light shooting conditions. The
PowerShot A570 IS Digital Camera's OIS is firmly rooted in the
technological advances made by Canon in the design and
construction of its professional EOS SLR and professional video
lenses.
Adding to the camera's optical excellence is its fast lens
(opening up to f/2.6 at wide-angle settings and f/5.5 at
telephoto settings). The PowerShot A570 IS digital camera's
great range of functions can be enhanced and expanded with any
one of three optional converter lenses – a tele-converter, a
wide converter or a close-up lens for macro photography – that
attach to the camera's zoom with the addition of an optional
conversion lens adapter. The PowerShot A570 IS digital camera
accommodates MultiMedia MMC memory cards as well as standard SD
memory cards and the new, high capacity SDHC memory cards.
Fitting firmly and comfortably into a user's hand, the PowerShot
A570 IS digital camera continues the line's characteristic grip
design and easy-to-use intuitive interface with the added accent
of a new champagne color grip.
In stores beginning in March 2007, the PowerShot A570 IS digital
camera kit carries an estimated selling price of $279.99* and
includes two standard AA alkaline batteries, a 16MB MMC Memory
card, a USB interface cable, an AV cable a wrist strap, and
Canon's software suite.
Direct Print
Like all PowerShot digital cameras, these newest additions to
the A-series work seamlessly with Canon's petite compact photo
printers to deliver stunning high quality borderless prints.
Consumers simply connect their PowerShot digital camera to a
Canon compact photo printer-such as the SELPHY CP730 or PIXMA
mini260 models. Press the bright blue Print/Share button, and
within moments2, a brilliant, borderless 4x6-inch print begins
to emerge. It is that simple. Canon's compact Photo Printers are
PictBridge compatible, so they work with PictBridge enabled
digital cameras to provide users with excellent image quality
and ease-of-use, especially when paired with a Canon digital
camera.
Windows Vista Ready
As one of Microsoft's Premier Launch Partners, Canon is proud to
announce that all PowerShot cameras announced in 2007 are
Certified for Windows Vista according to Microsoft standards,
without any extra downloads or upgrades. Additionally, all
current models are fully compatible with other operating systems
including Windows XP and Mac OS X (Versions 10.2 - 10.4).
