I was expecting the S570 to be the best purchase ever. I used to have an s210 that took some great pictures. The one think I loved about it was it RARELY ever took a bad picture. The s570 I thought would add on the already existing greatness of the s210. While it does take good pictures, every now and then I get shaky/blurry pictures.
The biggest complain would be that for a point and shoot it does not automatically pick the best mode to take a picture in. Even when I do pick modes, it doesn't work the best. Maybe I need to get better at picking the right modes for a picture but lets just say with the amount I've tried, its not obvious exactly what mode you need t be shooting in. The image stabilization isn't very great in it. The Camera itself was a little bigger than I thought it would be, but it looks great though.
The wide angle picture is great, you can capture way more with this up close than compared to other cameras (my reference was a Cannon sd1200. Although, I had to take the picture twice to get a good shot. The battery life is very good. I had it last about 2 days with frequent use. the 5 x zoom and the extra MP are definitely a bonus for the price. Maybe my expectations were just too high. I wasn't very thrilled with it.

Don't buy it
This is my second Nikon S570 camera purchased and both were bad pretty much out of the box. I bought the first from Walmart and the lens froze within the first 5 minutes of use. I bought the second S570 on Amazon because of the reviews and it didn't work out of the box. The screen was blank and you couldn't even shut it off unless you pulled the battery out. That's the last Nikon that I purchase.
