Great P&S for the money:
For a mid-priced point & shoot, this is an excellent camera. I am very pleased with pictures I've taken with it. It's easy to use in automatic mode but still has plenty of manual settings when that's what you need.
Less than impressed:
I started out with an Olympus C-8080 and got this for it's smaller size. I have always heard good things about Canon but I for one, after owning this camera, am not impressed and am going back to Olympus. Pros:

(1) red eye. I have... more info
Do not give up on your A570is due to battery low shutdown:
My A570 began shutting down each time I tried to use it a few months back after using it for more than two years daily.

Flawed power circuitry:
I had one of these for just over one year when the power circuitry failed. The symptom is that the camera will power down after less than a minute even with new or fully charged batteries. From my research, this is a wide-spread failure mode for this camera. Communicated with Canon. No joy. I loved the camera while it lasted but I won't do business with a company that will not support their product. I've had six Canon's over the past few years. But unlikely to buy another.
