Does anyone have a NEW camera that takes pictures as great as the A570 IS does (sharp macro &amp; low light AF)? I own one, love it, &amp; it is wearing out.

I have purchased this camera over and over again--both new and used. That's my recommendation.

Okay M.I got my camera last night. I took a couple of pictures on my in to work this morning. I am going to post them after I make this post. I don't know what people are complaining about when they complain that the pictures are blurry. The pictures I took were extremely sharp. For the sample picture go the listed item. I will post more pictures by Sunday. Feel free to email me if you have any questions (superat06@gmail.com)Sean

I was also deciding on these 2 cameras as a gift for my parents and ended up going with the A570. Another difference I saw with the A570 was the Face Detection feature and the improved Red-Eye Correction - I don't remember seeing those 2 features on the A710. In addition to that, my final deciding factor was the fact that the A570 is a newer model in the Powershot series.If you haven't already, I recommend watching the interactive video on the A570 - it will highlight some of the features I mentioned and is helpful especially if you're not as familiar with the Powershot series.I also purchased the Sanyo Eneloop rechargeable batteries which had good ratings.

I purchased a D5000 in July and have been very satisfied with it. Great camera. I recently received an email from Nikon about this problem. My s# is 304**** and they say it has the problem. I haven't sent it in yet. I'm having a problem with fixing something that works fine.

I have been wondering the same thing & still can't decide. I was wondering if you have decided yet & if so which way you went? I have a Pentax Optio A10 right now & I love everything about it except the shutter speed so I have been looking for a new one & can't decide between the Sony DSCW80 & the Canon SD1000.

THis camera replaced my DX6340 and I am not as happy with the picture quality of the new camera. Like you said, pictures are blurry and just not as sharp. Did these suggestions help you? My husband will be heart broken if I ditch the new one since he gave it to me for Christmas.

There are many a7000 rumors and I hope it happens as I really want the a6000 but with the touch-screen of the a5100 to help touch focus shots. Without the touch screen it feels incomplete. I don't want to go to the full frame size of the a7r as I already own a Canon 6D so need a good street walk around camera. The size and grip of the a6000 is perfect for me. The 5100 feels like a toy and doesn't have the great EVF.

I love my camera! I've never really used it for that type of pics, but for me it does great. I took some pics of my brothers wedding, Kind of an indoor outdoor setting & I'd did great both ways. I think you'll really like it.

Anybody have any other comments about which of these 2 cameras to buy? Thanks!!!!

I too am only into photography as a rather serious hobby. When I bought the a7 my principal motivation was upgrading to a full frame camera. It has lots of great features and, overall, is a very fine piece of equipment. My only complaint is that Sony seems reluctant to furnish its camera with lenses made for the camera. There is a whole menagerie of lenses that sort of work with it, many requiring an adapter. I bought the rather pricy 200mm lens that is made for the a7, it is a very good lens, but really over priced. I admit that I am prejudiced in favor of Nikon products. In fact, some months after getting the a7 I could not resist Nikon's new D750. I attached my 28-300 zoom lens to it and use it as very versatile "walk around" camera, and the a7 now mostly rests in a drawer along with my old Nikon 7000. One undeniable advantage of the a7 is how small and light it is. Getting rid of the mirror for focusing was really a neat trick.

You're right, the four-cell PowerShots generally are exceptionally nice cameras. I liked my A70 a lot but like so many others it died young. Compared to these earlier designs, the A590 may "deliver value" but it just seems unpleasantly cheap and slick. It also lacks several nice features such as the Lumix LZ8's 5x zoom range, 230K dot LCD and 30fps video modes -- but it has the viewfinder, high speed USB and manual focus the LZ8 lacks. http://www.dpreview.com/reviews/compare_post.asp?method=sidebyside&cameras;=canon_a590is%2Cpanasonic_dmclz8&show;=all

This is an amazing camera. The only thing it doesn't do is close Macro. If I'm not using my NEX7 or 60d, this is the camera I use, and alot of times I differ to it for the ease of useage & pic quality. For what you want , you'll be very happy & then some.

I have had my Df for only a short time (about 30 days) and have only been able to shoot a limited number of photos. I haven't used live view, nor do I know if it is available on the Df. I'm still learning of all the features. Autofocus is very fast... image quality is excellent. I also own a D7000.

Thanks for the reply! I do have a back up, a Sony 2.5 megapix I got around 2001. The D5000 gives you a much better picture to work with , I like to use RAW files with Photoshop which the Sony doesn't do. I've read the info on Nikon's site and will send it in. Our grandbaby (4 months old) is coming for a visit tomorrow for a few days and I plan to send it in after the visit. I'll miss it. . .The camera and the grandbaby.

This is an excellent camera. I have been using it since it was first launched. It can definitely handle low light, however I would recommend a fast lens. That will be the key to keeping the the dreaded noise out of your pictures with higher ISO. Aa far as documents. I would definitely think this would be a great camera to use. I would invest in a tripod though and possibly a macro lens.

Have you tried the ZD710?? I bought one at Walmart also, a few weeks ago. I returned it. I personally didn't like it. I didn't like how noisy the pictures were and they really weren't that sharp. I am not sure if that was just my experience or I had to high of expectations for the ZD710 camera. I also didn't like trying to take any shots when any one was moving because the pictures turned out awful. So anyway, I returned it and am looking for something else.

I'm thinking about buying new DSLR.. Nikon D3100 has been on top of the list and competing with Canon T3. Though, what matters to me is picture quality / colors / sharpness. I dont care much about video shooting as I can use my iphone when needed. My question is if anyone of you are professional photographer or has expirence dealing with both cameras.. which one would you buy? both are about at the same price. I need camera which can take nice outdoor pictures and perform better than point n shoot in low light (indoors).
