If the batteries are ALKALINEs, then they could be the problem. The typical batteries that are shipped with a camera are inexpensive, and don't last long. Have you upgraded to the NiMH batteries yet?

I have had the A570is for a few weeks now. I just got a chance last week to fire it up and I ran into the same thing as barbara. I would take one or two pictures with the flash on and then the screen would go black. I could not do anything with the camera at that point other than to turn it off and turn it back on to keep taking pictures. I tried taking more pictures the next day and ran into the same problem. This problem happened multiple times. The batteries I had in were fresh. And when the camera wasn't locking up, it was taking pictures just fine, so it's def not a battery issue.
I'm not a Canon newbie nor is this my first digital. I believe it's a product flaw in the camera. I would advise anyone thinking about this model (or any of the Powershot series) to reconsider before wasting time and money. I'm in a battle with Canon right now and this A570is is going back to them. They can have it.

If you do purchase this or another in the Powershot series you would be wise to document everything and keep your receipts and pay close attention to your warranty.
