Canon Digital Compact Camera - PowerShot A570 IS
I'm thinking of buying this camera. I want a fairly good quality one for action shots (a turbo charged Fern and wildlife) and crystal clear close ups (to sell squillions of stuff on EBay as I am due a major clear out). I was given a ViviCam 3105s (3.2 megapixel) for Christmas last year for my first ever digital camera and it is dreadful. Any attempt at action shots produces a blur, jumpy videos and all shots are grey and grainy >:( .

Is this the right sort of thing I should be looking for? Has anyone got this model, if so how do you find it? Is it easy to use? Any drawbacks to using it? Do you have any shots you could post so I can see how good/bad it is?

All comments welcome as I am a complete numpty when it comes to cameras and really could do with some help here. Thanks  guys :D

No advice I'm afraid but I will be watching this thread with interest as I have finally accepted that I need to embrace the digital age  ::)  The Powershot is one I was thinking of too as I don't want to go too bonkers pricewise. That looks a good price too  ;)

I'm watching this too!  Ideally I'd love an SLR but they're too big and I know I wouldn't take it everywhere!

I've seen this for about £155 http://www.samsungcamera.co.uk/product/pro_view.asp?prol_uid=3991&cat_uid=75

What do you think?  It has more megapixels which I presume is good  ::)  And it takes action shots.  I'm a bit of a numpty too but would love to have clear pics  ;)

Have bitten the bullet and bought it. Watch this space  ;) .

Coco:
Ohh, only just seen this. Let me know how it goes please? I'm trying to deciede between 3 Canon models at the moment  :-\
(The IXUS 70/75 and the IXUS 950 of a powershot one which name escapes me at the mo  :embarassed: )
