Summary: As great as it gets

This camera has ething you can ask for in a small, easy to use digital camera. It is not as small as some other cameras however it makes up for it with its outstanding image quality.
I think this is an amazing camera and an instant classic. Canon always have best image quality compared to other brands and this camera is a prime example of this trend.
Highly endorseed.

Summary: Dive Camera

I purchased this along with Canon WP-DC12 Waterproof Case for Canon A570IS Digital Camera for a dive trip we did awhile back. They both worked great. Visibility wasn't that great however the camera did better than any other1I have tried. The "Underwater" setting did well and cut the "blue" effect and I did not notice any back scatter in any of the photos so I am guessing it helped there also.
This is a great "less expensive" dive camera combo. Note that you still have to get rather close for the flash to be effective however that could be fixed with an external flash.
I also use this camera for taking day to day photos. I really like the manual settings and I have taken some really nice photos with it. It isn't close to the picture quality of an SLR however it's a lot easier to carry around.
Only complaint is that it does go through batteries rather quickly. Normal NiMH batteries last about 30 shots. I have gone to the Lithium batteries and they do well, however are expensive.

I purchased this camera for my Mother in law. I have the A520, and it has been a solid performer for many years other than not doing a great job of reducing red eye in the picutres. This newer version does a better job, however they still need to improve on this with out question. It happens quite a bit more than it should, and yes, you can remove the red eye right on the camera, however many times, this can distort the persons true eye color, which in my opinion can ruin a picture. Therefore, because of this fault, I was not able to give a full 100% positive score. If you are set on a camera that is compact and has a 3" screen, than this will not be your camera, however if you like a mid-size camera that fits nicely in your hand while taking pictures, and has a moderate screen size with tons of features, this camera will do a great job outside the red eye effect.

I am continually amazed with this camera. I have owned it for just over a year. They 1st year I just took quick snapshots. My husband purchased me a 35mm SLR so I cam learn to use it and we will decide if we want to invest in a digital one.
As I am reading the book, I can apply all the techniques to this camera. I found the continuous shot function and LOVE it when photographing kids!! Even with the highest resolution setting it still takes fairly quick shots!! I am sure to get1with a smiling faces (I have 4 kids).
It also has a manual setting for a self-timer. So, if you want to family portrait and want several photos with1click of the howeverton you can set it up!!
You can download software to give this even more features (like motion sensor to photograph lightning)!!
The disadvantage is that many of the features are hidden buried in the menus. There are many that you can not remember them.
Each time you change the pre-set (indoor, kids & pets, etc). It resets to single shot with a flash - so you have to go back in and change it.
Also the auto face detect is not always accurate.
For a grab and go camera I was SHOCKED at the number of features it has and at the quality and sharpness of photos I could get.
