Description

CL) Canon A570 IS digital camera From the Manufacturer 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. PowerShot A570IS HighlightsDIGIC III Image Processor DIGIC III features Face Detection AF/AE, which finds multiple faces in the frame and sets the most suitable focus point, when the shutter button is pressed halfway. And an additional new feature, Face Detection FE adjusts the flash, based on a person’s face on the screen. Exposure and flash are controlled to ensure proper illumination of both the faces and the overall scene, eliminating the common problem of darkened or overexposed faces. Red- eye Correction detects and automatically corrects red-eye during playback for both regular and flash photography. In unusual cases where red-eye is not automatically detected, it can easily be corrected manually during playback mode from the LCD screen. iSAPS Technology is an entirely original scene- recognition technology developed for digital cameras by Canon. Using an internal database of thousands of different photos, iSAPS works with the fast DIGIC III Image Processor to improve focus speed and accuracy, as well as exposure and white balance. Clear, high-resolution 2.5-inch LCD for easy on- camera viewing The camera’s 2.5-inch LCD screen gives you the big picture, whether you’re shooting, reviewing or showing off your images. This high- resolution screen offers a crisp, clear picture to make shooting, playback and using the camera’s menu functions especially convenient. Clear and bright, it also features Night Display for easy viewing in low light. ISO 1600 and High ISO Auto The PowerShot A570 IS features new ISO 1600 and High ISO Auto settings that reduce the effects of camera shake and sharpen subjects in low- light situations, giving you greater flexibility for shooting. A variety of movie-making options With a highly flexible movie mode, you can create the movie that’s perfect for any application. Select from VGA (640 x 480 pixels) and QVGA (320 x 240 pixels), with frame rates of 30 fps and 15 fps for recording up to 1 hour or 4GB. Also Fast Frame Rate (QVGA; 320 x 240 pixels) recording at 60 fps for up to 1 minute, and Compact Movie Mode (QQVGA; 160 x 120 pixels) recording at 15 fps for up to 3 minutes. The PowerShot A570 IS also supports the USB 2.0 Hi-Speed standard, so you’ll enjoy the fastest possible data transfer speeds when using a USB 2.0 Hi-Speed compatible computer. Shooting Modes Advanced presets for the best possible photos under certain conditions. Auto The camera chooses all the settings so you can concentrate on your subject. P Program Access advanced exposure compensation features while shooting mostly automatically. Av Aperture-priority You define the aperture to either isolate your subject or have clarity throughout the entire picture, and the camera will choose the corresponding shutter speed. Tv Shutter-priority You select the shutter speed to stop or blur action, and the camera finds the appropriate aperture. With slow exposure times, Canon’s noise reduction system activates to ensure low image noise. Manual The ultimate in creative control, you set ISO speed, exposure compensation and white balance. Portrait The camera sets a large aperture, focusing the subject and artistically blurring the background to make your subject "pop." Landscape For front to back sharpness, the camera sets a small aperture. Night Snapshot Get natural-looking pictures with brighter backgrounds and subjects lit by flash. Indoor Reduce blur and improve color accuracy when shooting handheld indoors. Kids & Pets Reduced focusing time freezes fast-moving subjects, so you won’t miss those special shots. Stitch Assist Build awe-inspiring panoramas by neatly aligning sequential images. Movie Shoot in VGA and QVGA (30 fps/15 fps for up to 1 hour or 4GB), Fast Frame Rate (60 fps for up to 1 minute) or QQVGA (15 fps for up to 3 minutes). Special Scene ModesNight Scene For impressive sunset or nightlife shots, the camera properly exposes the background and uses slow-sync flash for the subject. Foliage Capture brilliant shots of autumn foliage, greenery and blossoms. Snow Shoot clear snow scenes without darkened subjects or an unnatural bluish tint. Beach Get clear shots of people at a sunny beach without darkened faces. Fireworks Grab brilliant images of skyrocketing fireworks. Aquarium Achieve proper flash-free exposure and natural hues at indoor aquariums.

    • the best gets better - perfect balance of size, speed, photo quality, capabilities
Last year, after extensive research, I bought a Canon A540 to replace my trusty Olympus D40-Zoom. My goals for camera selection where (a) compact size, (b) standard AA batteries, (c) full manual controls, (d) outstanding image quality, (e) speed, (f) optical viewfinder. The A540 fit the bill almost perfectly, with a handful of limitations that I noted in my review. This year, with Canon's release of the A570IS, I decided to upgrade, driven by the addition of optical image stabilization (IS). While the IS is impressive, I was surprised by other improvements that Canon has made. Image noise levels are significantly lower and more controlled for higher ISO captures. The Digic III processor seems to make more intelligent decisions about lighting and flash exposure, especially when its face recognition is engaged. Add a dramatically better quality LCD screen, slightly higher 7.1MP resolution, improved case, and support of high capacity SD cards, and I doubt I'll need to upgrade any time soon. Like the A540, the A570IS is for me a perfect balance of size, speed, and photo quality. The A570IS is the same physical size as the A540. It's small enough to fit in a coat pocket or small belt case yet uses 2 AA batteries. Like the A540, overall processing speed is very fast unless you're taking flash pictures (and then you should expect about 4-6 seconds between flashes depending on battery level and what flash strength the camera selected). Note that flash time is significantly better with high-capacity rechargeable NiMh batteries than with standard AAs. And, unlike some other cameras I have tried, the speed of the user interface (especially during playback) is very fast. Picture quality in general is excellent, even in low light situations. Noise at higher ISO is significantly more controlled than the A540, perhaps a benefit of the new 7.1MP CCD and the Digic III image processor. According to the documentation, noise reduction is applied at slow shutter speeds of 1.3 seconds or greater, and this can slightly slow down shot-to-shot time. There is no option to disable or adjust the noise processing, but in my experience the results are very good. When noise reduction is applied, there is a slight loss of detail compared to the A540, but the results are noticeably better on the A570IS with its built-in noise reduction than post-processing noise on pictures taken with the A540. In my own head-to-head comparisons between the A570IS and A540, the A570IS has better light metering and noticeably sharper detail on indoor shots without a flash (especially when image stabilization is engaged). The A570IS does favor slightly higher ISO in auto modes than the A540, giving generally better results without a flash. However, when taking close-up pictures with a flash, the A570IS doesn't seem to select anything lower then ISO 200, sometimes requiring a manual ISO override in Program mode. The A570IS offers a new ISO 1600 mode, but I'm not quite sold on it. Without a tripod, under low light conditions, ISO 1600 does offer the opportunity for blur-free photographs not possible with ISO 800. But the level of noise and artifacts from the noise processing don't give a very usable picture. The A570IS raises the bar with optical image stabilization, which only works when the camera is held horizontally. One of the biggest limitations of consumer digital cameras is the need to hold the camera steady to get a clear shot. At higher zooms and in night shots this problem can be compounded. I've taken a number of shots with and without IS, and it is useful but not a "magic bullet" for poor shots. Small details like far-away signs at night become clear when the IS is engaged. You can set the IS to run continuously during preview, only when the shutter is released (slightly lower battery drain), only on vertical movement (better for objects that are moving horizontally), or disabled (I have yet to find a reason to do so). And, unlike many cameras I've seen, the IS works in video capture mode. Like the A540, the A570IS offers full manual controls. With the A570IS, Canon adds two more modes (Kids & Pets and Indoor) to the mode selector wheel (instead of having to find them on the Special Scene menu). The A570IS also adds a new Aquarium scene mode, while removing the useless Color Swap and Color Accent modes. Canon has also removed the "My Camera" customization menu (for changing the startup picture and various sounds) which I never used on my A540. Although I never expected to use it, the movie mode is excellent. It's still not a replacement for a dedicated camcorder. But I have used it on a number of occasions to capture audio and video when a picture just won't do. Standard movie mode is 640x480 (VGA) quality at 30fps, but you can raise the capture to 60 fps at 320x240, or lower it to 15fps at 160x120. The A570 can now capture video up to 1 hour or 4GB whichever comes first. Video files are very large (around 1.9MB/second at 30fps) but they compress extremely well with QuickTime Pro's MPEG4 codec. With the A570IS, Canon also addressed some of my minor complaints about the A540. Most notably, the LCD screen is much higher quality and higher resolution. The case plastics seem more solid, the small rubber door covering the USB - A/V - power ports pivots open from the side not the top, and the handle area no longer has a chrome insert which had a tendency to fall off. The ring that covers the conversion lens adapter mount has a chrome trim, making the camera more attractive but at least on my A570IS it is more difficult to remove than the A540. Once again, I looked at the Canon A710IS which offers a 6x optical zoom, but has the same 7.1MP sensor, optical image stabilization and user interface with the older Digic II image processor. In the end, after trying both cameras in the store, I again settled on the A570IS. The A710IS is noticeably larger (about 0.25 inches wider and slightly taller), and the more complicated lens takes longer to startup and to zoom. Both cameras have a limited number of stops in their zoom range, but this is noticeable on the 6x of the A710IS where it is not noticeable in the 4x of the A570IS. For me, the larger size wasn't worth the extra zoom. And the benefits of Digic III are impressive. In summary, Canon A570IS Pros: - 7.1 megapixel sensor, 4x optical zoom - ISO 80 to 1600 - optical image stabilization for higher ISO or zoom, even during video capture - optical viewfinder for shooting with the LCD off - full manual controls (shutter priority, appeture priority, full manual) - preset and custom white balance control - outstanding photo quality, even in relatively low light (good color balance, very low noise at higher ISOs, almost non-existent chromatic aberation) - Digic III processor offers face detection, makes more intelligent decisions on exposure, and flash levels - very good results from built-in noise reduction for slow shutter speeds of 1.3 seconds or greater - very fast startup and shot-to-shot speed (flash not withstanding) - excellent and speedy auto-focus even in low light (although the AF assist light can slow this down) - orientation sensor recognizes if you have rotated the camera to take a shot - flash adjusts angle based on wide-telephoto zoom - built-in red eye reduction during playback lets you select an area to remove red eye and save as new or overwrite the existing image - surprisingly usable movie mode - outstanding user interface: options are well laid out and easy to locate, very well thought-out record and playback options - extremely fast user interface and playback performance, even zooming in on photos - high resolution LCD screen - well built case, very comfortable grip - uses SD cards and supports high-capacity SDHC (takes advantage of high-speed SD) - uses 2 AA batteries (at least 2500 mAh NiMh rechargeable recommended) - very good battery life (approx 400 shots on 2 rechargeable NiMh AA, with the display on) - replaceable lithium battery protects settings when changing batteries - supports optional high-power flash, conversion lenses and underwater case Cons (to me, all very minor): - flash recharge time is acceptable but not great (4 - 6 seconds between shots using NiMh batteries) - preview display blanks while flash recharges - Auto ISO for indoor flash close-up pictures doesn't seem to select below ISO 200; you can force ISO 100 in Program or manual modes - ISO 1600 is of questionable real-world use because of noise and artifacts from noise reduction - noise reduction cannot be adjusted or disabled - it is possible to insert the SD card upside down and you don't realize until you try to close the cover (would be easy to break the cover if you force this) - the markings for the battery orientation are difficult to read - no RAW image support, but you can select from 3 different compression ratios for image quality - bundled 16MB card is useless - buy a 2GB card TIPS: 1) make sure you do a low-level format before you use your SD card in this camera, even if you had formatted it for another Canon camera. It makes a significant difference in shot-to-shot speed 2) always use high-capacity (2500 mAh or greater) NiMh rechargeable batteries - the flash recharge time is much improved (though still 4-6 seconds) 3) for indoor flash close-up shots, may need to override ISO to 100 for better quality 4) for outdoor shots in bright sun, setting exposure -2/3 gives better control of bright areas 5) if you use the conversion lens adapter, don't plan on using the built-in flash which is partially obscured by the adapter. I haven't tried it, but would expect the external flash to not have this problem. ... show more

    • To avoid disappointment with the A570 IS .......
This is a fantastic camera. But to avoid a number of "problems" reported in other reviews, consider the following : A) Memory Card : Memory cards are cheap enough these days that one should pony up for a 2 GB card. This will be good for 6 to 8 hundred shots in maximum resolution, minimum compression mode, and thousands of shots when shooting with lower resolution, higher compression. DO NOT get the standard performance card ( often labled 10x ). These have a maximum write speed of 1.5 mb / second, so a high resolution shot could take 4 to 5 seconds to offload to memory. Instead, purchase a medium performance card ( often labled 50x ) that has a write speed approaching 7.5 mb / second. This should get your maximum resolution shots offloaded in a second or less. The ultra performance cards ( often labled 120x ) are overkill for this camera, but a good candidate for 10 to 12 megapixel cameras. B) Batteries : By all means get a set of 2500 or greater mah NiMH rechargables. Be advised that these batteries do not reach their full potential until they have been through 2 to 5 full charge/discharge cycles. I conditioned my batteries by fully charging them, then discharging them in an old style 2 cell pen light flashlight. By old style, I mean one of those old guys with the large incandescent bulb. Do not use an led flashlight ( too low of a current drain ) or those using a "grain of wheat" bulb ( these bulbs have a lifetime of only 5 hours or so ). If you want NiMH that do not self discharge while just sitting around, look to the Sanyo eneloop batteries. Be advised, however, that these have a maximum charge of 2000 mah. C) Charger : I can not recommend the chargers that charge these NiMH batteries in 15 minutes. To do so, they have to pump 10 amps into the little guys, causing excessive heating. This will lead to shorter battery life ...... how much I simply don't know. Get the simple overnight ( 6 to 8 hour ) charger with a set of 4 batteries. This will give you a set for your camera with a back up set when those get exhausted. I use an Energizer 4 cell charger ( $7.95 on sale ) which is 3"x3" and an inch thick. Can be packed anywhere. D) Battery Door : Yep .... the battery door can be a challenge when one first gets the camera. But when you know the process, it's a snap. Hold the camera upside down with the lens facing you. Slide the locking tab toward your body and at the same time slide the entire battery cover to the right. Tada ..... its open. And when you close the door, be sure to follow the same procedure in reverse. One MUST do this to insure the door is fully closed and locked. E) False Low Battery indication : There are really two low battery indicators on this camera. The first is the red "low battery" icon, and the second is the following message ..... "change the batteries". Use the "change the batteries" message to change out the batteries. I have found that one can minimize false red "low battery" icon displays by : fully conditioning the batteries ( see B above ), making sure the battery door is properly closed and locked ( see D above ), and wipeing the battery terminals with a dry cloth before inserting into the camera. This removes any oil contamination from your fingers. Part of the problem here is that NiMH batteries have a maximum battery charge of 1.2 volts per cell, compared to 1.5 volts per cell for conventional AA batteries. This problem is helped by the Sanyo eneloop batteries, which have a full charge voltage closer to the 1.5 volt per cell value. F) Prevent lens damage : ALWAYS store the camera with the mode switch in the Playback position. This way, if the power switch is inadvertantly pressed when the camera is stored ( storage bag, pocket, or purse ), the lens will not deploy. If stored with the mode switch in the shooting position, and the power button is depressed, the lens will try to deploy and may very well jamb against something in the storage bag, pocket, or purse. Hope these hints help you to fully enjoy an excellent camera. ... show more

    • Great camera with some problems
I have had this camera for two weeks and have spent about 20 hours taking photos and using the included software. I consider myself an advanced amateur photographer, having used Canon's EOS system for years and owning a Nikon digital camera in addition to the Canon A570is. Here are my thoughts so far: 1. The camera itself works very well. The controls are intuitive and there are lots and lots of creative choices, though I suspect the creative mode has more options than most people will use. The program mode is very nice, it's great to be able to set ISO as well as aperture and speed, and the manual focus is helpful. I took photos of my son's musical performance from the back of a large, dark auditorium with the ISO set at 800 and 1600, no flash, digital zoom, program mode, and the photos were fairly usable. Sure there was visible noise, but who can expect perfection with digital zoom at those high "film speeds?" 2. Yes, the battery warning goes on. I don't like it, and that's probably why Canon is selling this camera for this price. However, for $130 I can ignore it. Actually, I just mute all the needless sounds and use the power saving functions to reduce battery use. I use rechargeable Energizers, so batteries aren't costing me a fortune, and they last for 150 pictures or so. That's fine. Just carry a set of spares in your pocket. 3. The size and weight of the camera are very nice...it's not much bigger than my little Nikon Coolpix 5600, which still works great after four hard years, by the way. 4. Now the software. Canon's website doesn't work right, so I had to go to [...] to download updates. Get the update to Zoombrowser. It's a useful one. Now here's the thing: When I first explored Zoombroser I loved it, since I'm a user of the simple stuff on Adobe Photoshop Elements. I was hoping Zoombrowser would do all the stuff I needed ...until I got to the "Trim" function, which is the "crop" function. If you want to crop to a certain size, you have to be in "advanced." But the software is difficult for cropping to a certain size, like 5x7 or 8x10. If you like math you can see that the preset 3:2 and 2:3 ratios are for a 6x4 or 4x6 photo. But there's no exact preset ratio for 5x7s or 8x10s. Then, after a half hour of math to crop to the size you want, you go to print. Guess what! You can only print a full page print, not one with borders, not an 8x10, not a 5x7, not a 4x6...only a whopping, ink draining full page print. Come on Canon...you can do better than that. The rest of the editing functions are terrific, but the trim and print shortcomings make ZoomBrowser EX less useful. I like its organizing ability a lot, except...it only organized .jpegs (perhaps RAW and TIFF but I don't have a camera that produces those). Sooo, if I have Photoshopped photos saved as .pdf - which I do because I have been using photoshop - they don't show up in ZoomBrowser. Darn. 5. The email function in ZoomBrowser EX is great. You can easily set the size of attachments and tell the size of your total attachment. I'll use that function a lot. 6. In order to print photos the size I want on 8 x 11.5 paper, I have to save the photo, then open it again in the software that came with my little Nikon because it allows me to put precise borders on the prints. It would be great if the Canon software did that. 7. In conclusion: It's a good little camera for the price. If you only use the very common but lossy .jpeg format that this camera uses (as do all digital cameras as a minimum), then you're fine with the included Zoombrowser software, unless you want precise cropping and printing. For me, I'll use the included Canon ZoomBrowser for most touching up except printing, and use Zoombrowser to see what camera settings I used and to organize my photos. The email sending function in Zoombrower works very well also. Postscript: After about three months, I still like the camera OK. I'd reduce my evaluation to three stars, however. I've noticed a few more shortcomings. The low resolution of the screen make it hard to tell if the scene is in focus, or to evaluate the quality of the photo you have taken. This makes the potentially very helpful manual focus mode not very helpful at all, since you can't tell if you are in focus due to the low resolution mentioned above. It's a great idea, but Canon blew it. If the Canon engineers read this stuff, I hope they will think about putt ing Nikon's Best Shot Selector mode in their cameras. It's a great tool that takes up to 10 continuous exposures of the subject, and then the software selects the most in-focus exposure. It is great when photographing flowers moving in the wind (which they nearly always do) or when it's hard to tell if the subject is in focus (like when the screen has low resolution). I can do a similar thing with the Canon by using the Continuous Shooting mode while in Micro, but you have to select the best photo yourself later. It's better than nothing. PackJac ... show more

    • Excellent Point and Shoot Camera
I have a Canon EOS 40D, had a Rebel XT, had a Canon Powershot A560, and now a Canon Powershot A570 IS. All that to show that I'm not a complete noob to cameras and picture taking. The A570 IS is pretty much just like the A560. It is actually a little smaller than the A560. The only thing I don't like is the way you review pictures you just took, you have to switch a lever down to the Review instead of having a dedicated review button like the A560 has. The manual controls on the dial (M AV TV P) is nice if you are feeling creative but lazy enough not to grab your DSLR. Getting to the menus is a simple matter of hitting the Func Set button and scrolling through the list. Manual Focus is easily turned on and really fun to work with. The speed if this camera will greatly increase if you use a Rechargeable battery. Point and Shoots nowadays suck batteries in minutes... I highly recommend a Duracell or Energizer 2000mAh or 2650mAh battery. They will last forever and you'll get a decreased flash picture lag. Obviously, you'd get a DSLR if you were concerned about that. So, be aware that if you use normal AA batteries, they'll last you an hour tops or maybe 100 shots without flash before dying. The Image Stabilizer is a nice addition to a point and shoot. It makes it easier to shoot in low light conditions and not get that "blur" that is so common. I'm guessing this will hurt battery life so again, highly recommend 2650mAh rechargeable batteries. Only Complaints: These things are fragile so if you drop them you'll be getting another camera. If you take care of your cameras like I do - it will last years. The battery compartment is thin, flimsy, and difficult to shut properly. The trick is to push it down firmly before sliding it in to close. If you do that then the battery door is easy and simple to close. Overall this is a GREAT point and shoot camera. Anyone looking for a cheap camera that takes amazing pictures and doesn't break the pocket book - this is your camera. This camera is highly recommended for kids who are learning photography as the buttons are big and sturdy. I gave my A560 to my little brother and he loves it. 5 Stars to Canon for an awesome camera. ... show more

    • Great Camera OVERALL
CANON A570 IS Listen, I"m no camera expert but, this camera takes GREAT PICTURES AND VIDEOS day or night it really doesn't matter. Easy to use in every way. I love the dial on the top with preset functions for picture settings and video, just rotate it for pictures at night or day etc. or to switch to the video setting. This makes doing anything a snap. The AA rechargeable batteries last until I completely fill the 4gb sdhc card I installed to increase its memory and then I still have enough battery power to transfer those 4gb to my pc. Time in between pictures can be a little long in low light conditions but, In sunlight I can snap pictures consecutively with about a 2 second delay. Overall I highly recommend this camera. The pictures and videos it takes are crisp, clear, true to life and well large enough to view on my 42" lcd tv and look fantastic. I take pictures of my kid at the park and you know kids never stay still, no problem. The image stabilazation is fantastic. I always get good shots even when he's throwing a ball. If you want a really good, dependable camera that takes AA batteries so you'll never run out of power as long as you have rechargeable batteries on hand (cheap power),lots of extra storage with the sd or sdhc capability, crisp, great looking pictures and videos then Buy this camera you'll love it. It does everything I need a camera to do superbly! ... show more

    • Good, but wanted more durability...
I did a lot of pondering over buying my digital camera, and now that I have used this camera for 18 months, I feel I can give some insight with experience. I purchased this camera because of its options: manual settings, viewfinder, uses AA batteries, as well as a decent price and Canon's good reputation. Generally, I have been pleased with my pictures and camera performance, but after the 1 yr. warranty was up, my camera started malfunctioning. First, it started having problems with the white balance. My display would occasionally go almost completely white, and the pictures came out the same way. It would suddenly correct itself, but I could not predict when it would work, and when it wouldn't. A few month's later, the lens would periodically not open or shut completely, despite having fresh batteries. I tried cleaning around the lens casing with an alcohol wipe just in case some dirt or dust was causing the problem, but it didn't help. Finally, the lens quit opening all together. A call to Canon customer service ended up with them telling me I would have to send the camera in for repair at a cost of at least half the purchase price. I would rather invest that $$ in a new camera. I did also experience some problems with faded background color with pictures that had sunlit backdrops, but overall I liked the camera, its options, and my pictures. My biggest disappointment was this camera's lack of durability. ... show more

    • A570IS takes shots in dark places
Amazon came up with a great price for the A570IS. I was out to our local humane society and they had a list that they needed disposable cameras. I decided to get them a digital camera and in the long run save them the expense of developing the pictures so they could put them in the local paper and on Petfinders.com. I own another Canon camera A630 which proved to me that Canon's are great cameras. That model costs about $100 more. I wanted to get a camera for my 13 year old nephew too and decided to get him a Canon and I decided to try the A570IS for both of them and thought I would try a less expensive model to see how that would work. I had wanted to donate part of my economic stimulus check and this was a good choice for me. When I received the cameras, I tried one out one night at about 9 p.m., and turned out all the lights. It was completely dark in my living room and I snapped a picture aiming for the sofa and the picture hanging above it. To my amazement it acted just like the A630 and the snapshot looked as if I had every light on in the room. I knew then that the humane society could use this camera because they would get into situations of dark barns and puppy mill places and they would need a camera that would perform for them. I leave my setting on Automatic. The humane society will maybe want to use the setting Kids and Pets. It is a great point and shoot camera and I know my 13 year old nephew will find it easy to use. And as he gets older he might light to try the different manual settings. If you are tired of cameras not taking pictures in low level light situations, this camera will not disappoint you. ... show more

    • SLOW......... BUY TWO !!!
I should have listened to the other reviews. They more or less said that the picture quality was really good but the camera was really slow. I thought, great good pictures I can't go wrong with that. The camera has some nice features I can get some good pics and grow and learn with this one. The face recognition only works about 1 out of 5 times. I think it just takes a good guess and most times it's wrong. Amazon was great I ordered it at regular shipping. They decided to send it extra fast free shipping. Cool 2 days later new camera in hand I take that really cute picture of my grandson. Snap..........1..........2..........3.........4.........5.........6.........7.........8.........9........10........... Ok missed that 1st picture Ill try again. Snap..........1..........2..........3..........4..........5..........6..........7..........8.........9.........10........ OK this time the kid moved , but I got a really good picture of the bookcase where we keep the DVD movies in. The picture came out really great, if the house burns down I can use this for documentation for the insurance company, You can read the title on all 174 movies that we have. I didn't get the grandson , he moved to fast. Ok I made a mistake I wanted camera that I could grow and learn with and I wanted to take a picture of my grandson. I think I'll send this camera back and go with something that consumer reports says has a faster next shot time. They recommend 3 other camera manufactures that have a next shot time of 4 seconds, an hp, sony, or kodak. The problem is to send back the camera I'll have to pay for shipping both ways , the restocking fee, and I will only get a perecetage back for the camera because I opened the package therefore it is now a used camera. Yeah they got a return policy, just make sure you read the fine print. So I'll keep the camera for those outside shots and non moving objects I am off shopping for a new camera for the inside shots of my grandson. you know the family dinners, the birthday parties, the weddings, just hanging out on grandpa's lap , 85% of my picture taking is inside and trying to catch those fleeting moments. Snap.......... 1.......... 2........... 3........... 4.......... 5.......... 6.......... 7.......... 8.......... 9.......... 10.......... 11.......... 12.......... 13.......... 14.......... As the batteries wear down the time between pictures gets longer and longer.Yep guess I'm going to need a new camera. This time I will go to the store try it out and buy local. ... show more
