Canon - PowerShot A570 IS Digital Camera —

Canon A570 IS gathers several nice features those are too important not to have with a nice price. IT is around $150 to $200 in the market and with that price you get a camera that is 7.1 mega pixel, 4X zoom and IS technology. It runs on AA batteries and 2 of them is enough unlike some previous versions of Canon with same properties. Therefore the camera is light though not light nor small as Canon SD series. This camera also uses secure digital memory cards, which are quite cheaper than some other type of memory cards out there. SD cards are also more convenient because there are other devices those use them. The camera has overall a little cheap built to it but for this price with this features you can't complain. I have it and the only other Canon I would prefer over this model up to $300 cost would be Canon S3 IS, which would serve different purposes with its 12X zoom and bulkiness so they are not really in the same category.
