Rating : - An excellent value
I just received this camera yesterday, and haven't had time to check out all the bells and whistles on it, but I am in love. I admit, I've never had a superzoom or dslr before, and have not purchased any digital recently, but this camera has more features than my old computer! I've played with zoom and macro and love them...I can literally touch my target in supermacro, and still get focus. I prefer the manual zoom (20x optical! what a dream!) on the 570, as it's easier to control. My research has shown that for many superzoom cameras, the powerzooms are harder to control, and on those that have high and low speed zooms, the low speed tends to break down rather quickly. Not to mention, this increases the battery life, and is one less thing to break!It's comfortable to hold, not too heavy or lightweight, and the grips are such that even a sweaty hand won't slip. The tripod mount is metal, a nice plus, but you do have to be careful that the pad on the tripod doesn't get in the way of your zoom control. I am thrilled with what I've seen so far, I love the control and the ability to go everywhere from total AF to MF. The color quality is great, too.'ve been using an ancient (film) slr camera for years, with piles of extra lenses (2x converter, 80-200 lens, standard lense, macro filters, etc) and this does all of that, w/o the extra pieces.
I strongly recommend this 570 to anyone who wants more than a point and shoot, but isn't ready to spend $1000's on camera "boxes" and lenses.
