Good, but wanted more durability...2009-06-20
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.
Poor Construction2009-06-10
After using this camera for 1.5 yrs it quit altogether. Never have I had a camera that did not hold up under normal conditions. (I still have most of my old ones and they still function) Very disappointed.
Terrible Battery Life2009-05-28
It started exhibiting problems with battery life a few months after purchase... Turns out that it is a common problem related to some factory defect with the battery compartment and many people are having it. I threw away mine, it was so annoying to be out of juice after taking 20 pictures or so.
BTW, I tried several different batteries with same results.
Excellent Features, Poor Battery2009-05-25
Frankly, I think the A570IS hits the sweet spot. Great photo quality, excellent feature set (from full auto to full manual) and a good quality optical zoom.

My only complaint is that it seems to go through batteries incredibly quickly, so buy a good set (or 4) of rechargeable AA's. Oh, and set up the stabilizer to only work when you shoot, not when you frame.

Other than that, a great toss-it-in-your-bag-and-go camera (pretty tough too - my son left it out all night and it got filled with sprinkler water - we dried it out on the dash of a car, and it works as good as new. Really).
a good one2009-05-19

Professional video camera
A Professional video camera (often called a Television camera even though the use has spread) is a high-end device for recording electronic moving images (as opposed to a movie camera, that records the images on film). Originally developed for use in television studios, they are now commonly used for corporate and educational videos, music videos, direct-to-video movies, etc. There are two types of professional video cameras: High end portable, recording cameras (essentially, high-end camcorders) used for ENG and EFP image acquisition, and studio cameras which lack the recording capability of a camcorder, and are often fixed on studio pedestals. Portable professional cameras are generally much larger than consumer cameras and are designed to be carried on the shoulder. Technology It is common for professional cameras to split the incoming light into the three primary colors that humans are able to see, feeding each color into a separate pickup tube (in older cameras) or charge ...
