PowerShot A570 IS, successor to the A540 released in March 2006, inherits the latter’s popular 4x optical zoom lens while newly incorporating an optical image stabilizer to reduce the effects of camera shake when shooting. The model is equipped with a 7.1-megapixel CCD and Canon’s DIGIC III imaging processor for exceptional imaging performance, and offers users a selection of 19 shooting modes, including Auto, manual settings, and a variety of Special Scene modes.
