Canon - PowerShot A570 IS Digital Camera Review

i;m not the most tech savvy individual out there, but i'm not a total retard either. i knew i wanted a digital camera that was easy to use, had tons of features and was priced decently. i think i got all that in the canon powershot a570 is. i did all my research on amazon, this one had tons of reviews and most said good things. it was priced about a hundred and fifty bucks. it came really basic kit, book installation guide camera batteries. well it takes double a's, which is good and bad. when i use the lithium batteries or other high end ones, they last for a while, but your standard double a's don't last for squat. couple hours of constant use and they'r toast. my favorite feature is the large clear screen. even my mother can see the shot she's going for! the zoom toggle on the top is nice too, not too stiff or too loose. but if you want over 16X you gotta hold it down then it goes really fast sometimes. it has a cool waterproof case you can buy for it too and takes the standard memory cards nothin fancy. great digital camera for beginer and intermediate digital photgraphers.
