I dropped my old camera!

(David H - 10/21/07)

I used to have a Panasonic model LZ2, but I dropped it and damaged it. So I went searching for another camera and decided on the Canon A570, because I saw the good reviews on it. My first impressions are as follows:
1. It fits and feels really well in your hand.
2. The buttons all have a good feel and click with a purpose.
3. I know the power button is small, but I still get confused with it being the shutter button sometimes. I'm sure this won't be an issue as I get used to the operation.
4. I don't much care for the noisy zoom lens. In comparison the Panasonic I had was much more quiet.
5. I'm disappointed there is no internal memory. I thought this was pretty much standard. The free 16MB card is a joke.
6. The camera makes audible sounds which is cool, but they sound rather feable as if the camera is struggling to make these sounds.
7. I miss having the 6x optical zoom on my Panasonic vs. the 4x optical zoom on this one.
7. I like the ring release button so you can add other lenses. Although, I priced them and they are not cheap.
8. The camera despite some of the cons I mentioned seems like a really nice camera, but I can't help wonder about the newer Panasonic Lumix LZ7. It gets good reviews also.
