Canon PowerShot A570 IS

Digital Camera Review

2.2 The entry-level Canon PowerShot A570 IS is the first in the company's “A” line to offer image stabilization. At $279 suggested, and about $210 retail, it packs a range of other formerly high-end features, including face detection, image stabilization and a maximum ISO of 1600. It's small, though, and sports only a 4x zoom. The A-series finish and styling have an economy-line feel, so the A570 doesn't look as impressive as Canon's G series, or others.

Canon Powershot A570 IS Review

Canon A570 IS


Picture Quality / Size Options (7.5)
The PowerShot A570IS records images in the following pixel dimensions: 3072x2304, 2592x1944, 2048x1536, 1600x1200 and 640x480, plus a wide-aspect setting of 3072x1728. The quality levels are called Superfine, Fine and Normal. It makes senses to shoot in Superfine if there is any chance that the image will be printed; Fine and Normal each show significant decreases in quality.

Picture Effects Mode (7.75)
The PowerShot A570IS includes some of Canon's My Colors options, but not nearly as extensive a selection as some older A-series PowerShot models, such as the A620. The camera can be set to shoot with Vivid or Neutral color, black and white, and sepia. Each setting can be adjusted with contrast, sharpness and saturation controls. The Vivid setting looks cartoonish. Ideally, users should set the camera to Neutral, and boost color with a computer after shooting if necessary.
