The Canon Powershot A570 packs a lot inside when you take the price into account. The Powershot A570 is one of the cheapest cameras around offering fully manual exposure controls.
Another attraction is that alongside the 2.5 inch LCD screen Canon have found room to add in a viewfinder. There are still a great many photographers who prefer to compose photos using a viewfinder.
The Powershot A570 also offers red eye correction. This can help to clear up any problems with red eye after a portrait has been taken using flash.
If you would like to increase the capabilities of the camera even further there are a selection of conversion lenses available. There are a wide angle lens, a tele photo lens and a close up lens as well.
Picture quality is very good and this may be a camera for someone who is just starting out with photography who would like to learn the basics without making a large financial commitment.
