This is a great entry level camera. I purchased this camera last year with two tamron lenses and love it. This is my first dslr and works well for what I use it for. The only down side that I would say it has is that the really bright reds come out with more of an orange-ish tent using the full auto mode and even with some of the more advanced features. Bottom line- GOOD CAMERA if you don't already have a dslr or if you want to upgrade from the xt 8mp model.

Canon PowerShot A570IS 7.1MP Digital Camera with 4x Optical Image Stabilized Zoom



From Canon

Life doesn't give you second chances to capture special times. That's why the elegant PowerShot A570 IS is equipped with Canon's acclaimed Image Stabilizer Technology that automatically detects and corrects camera shake - one of the leading causes of fuzzy or blurred shots. So now even when you're zooming in tight you can get the steady, crisp, brilliant images. With DIGIC III, you get images of superior quality, the camera functions at top efficiency and battery life is significantly enhanced. What's more, DIGIC III enables Canon's newly improved Face Detection Technology and Red-eye Correction to give you better, more true-to-life people shots. Beside stills there's highly flexible movie mode, you can create the movie that's perfect for any application. ISO Sensitivity - Auto, High ISO Auto, ISO 80, 100, 200, 400, 800&1600 equivalent (Standard Output Sensitivity. Recommended Exposure Index) White Balance Control - Auto, Preset (Daylight, Cloudy, Tungsten, Fluorescent, Fluorescent H, Underwater) and Custom Normal Flash Range - 1.5-11 ft./45cm-3.5m (W), 1.5-7.2 ft./45cm-2.2m (T) Macro Flash Range - 1.0-1.5 ft./30-45cm (W/T) (when sensitivity is set to ISO Auto) Shooting Modes - Auto, Creative P, Av, TV, M, Image - Portrait, Landscape, Special Scene (Night Scene, Foliage, Snow, Beach, Fireworks, Aquarium, Underwater), Indoor, Kids&Pets, Night Snapshot, Stitch Assist and Movie Self-Timer - 2&10 seconds delay, Custom Continuous Shooting - 1.7 fps Still Image - EXIF 2.2 (JPEG) Movie - AVI (Image Motion JPEG, Audio WAVE) Interface - USB 2.0 Hi-Speed (mini-B jack) Video Out - NTSC/PAL Dimensions - Width 3.52 x Height 2.53 x Depth 1.69 inch (89.5 x 64.3 x 42.8mm) Weight - 6.17 ounces / 175 grams (camera body only)

Even when the kids can't sit still and the light is less than ideal, the amazing, the PowerShot A570 IS lets you capture life's special moments -- perfectly. Optical Image Stabilizer Technology keeps images crisp even when you're zoomed way in. The ISO 1600 and High ISO Auto settings reduce blur when the lights are down low. Plus, the A570 IS is packed with easy-to-use creative and convenient features you'll love.


For a relatively inexpensive, pocket-size camera the A570is offers great bang for the buck. If offers very good performance as a fully automatic snapshot camera. But it also allows you to adjust the settings just like the pros, which means you can actually get creative. The value of the optical stabilization is not to be underestimated either. You can hand-hold shots at shutter speeds you wouldn't think of using without it. The only real downside to warn you about is battery consumption: it is a battery hog. Lithium batteries are the only ones I've found that are reasonably long lived. Stick with them and keep reminding yourself that it's still cheaper than film. The pictures you end up with are worth it.

Canon PowerShot SD1000 7.1MP Digital Elph Camera with 3x Optical Zoom (Silver)



From Canon

Chic, simple. Canon looked to the very first ELPH for inspiration when designing the PowerShot SD1000 Digital ELPH, and came up with a quintessential iteration of the icon: slim, clean-lined and fully flat. Inside, the SD1000 Digital ELPH looks only to the future: 7.1 Megapixels, a 3x optical zoom and advanced DIGIC III ensure top-quality images, while focus is fast and sharp and red-eye is automatically corrected. The large and more colorful LCD screen now has a tough, anti-reflective coating that makes it as durable as it is beautiful.

I love this camera! It's so much fun to use, and there's so many little features, I'm still trying to figure it all out; the instruction manual is a little confusing. The pictures are all gorgeous, even at the lowest quality settings, and the battery lasts pretty long! The only thing I don't like about it is that the automatic flash is VERY bright. Luckily, this can be adjusted (with great results!), or completely turned off. I was amazed at how bright and clear my pictures were without the flash. It's a really incredible camera, the best in its class!

Canon PowerShot SD800 IS 7.1MP Digital Elph Camera with 3.8x Wide Angle Image-Stabilized Optical Zoom



From Canon

This isthe Digital ELPH that's raising the bar. There's everything you'd expect from a camera of this caliber: A 7.1 megapixel CCD to render images in magnificent detail and a DIGIC III Image Processor for stellar quality and fast operation. Yet what sets the SD800 IS Digital ELPH apart is its Wide-angle 3.8x optical zoom with Image Stabilizer technology for rock steady zooms. The Canon SD800 IS Digital ELPH, it's the Digital ELPH that's a step ahead. Wide-angle 28-105mm (35mm equivalent) 3.8x Optical Zoom with Optical Image Stabilizer Technology for steady, long zoom shooting DIGIC III Image Processor with Face Detection Technology for superior image quality, fast operation and low power consumption Large 2.5-inch LCD monitor with wide viewing angle for easier on-camera viewing Up to ISO 1600 to reduce image blur and expand low-light shooting capability Improved Movie Mode with Fast Frame Rate at 60 fps QVGA (320 x 240) or 30 fps VGA (640 x 480) Print/Share Button for easy direct printing and downloading, plus ID Photo Print and Movie Print with Canon CP and SELPHY Compact Photo Printers Capacity per fully charged battery - Still Image - approx. 270 shots (NB-5L/LCD on)* approx. 600 shots (NB-5L/LCD off) Dimensions (W x H x D) - 3.52 x 2.28 x 0.99 in. / 89.5 x 58.0 x 25.1mm; 5.29 ounces

This is everything I wanted in a camera. My pictures are clear and the color is good. It is pretty easy to use. ( The buttons are a bit awkward to use as others have mentioned, and I have small hands. Can't imagine how a large man could even use them.) The features are easy to learn with a little help from the book. I took pictures in complete darkness and you could not tell that it was night time. They were excellent. I took pictures over the holidays without charging the battery, not sure of the quantity, but we scroll through the pictures many, many times too. I don't have a need to purchase a second battery.
