Hi there .. this forum has been a great help for me . After all the advise and all .. i decided to go for a Canon powershot series .. just wondering if i shud get 550 or 570 .. 570 has a 2.5 Lcd while 550 has only a 2.0 LCD . DOes the size of the LCD really matter ? Pls advise asap as im at peninsula and will be walking over to Funan very soon to get the cam . Appreciated ! :)
 

and the 570is actually as IS which 550 doesnt offer .. price is 269 for 550 (2.0 LCD) and 339 for 570IS (2.5 LCD and IS)
 

IS is important in low light or slow shutter speed condition.

In actual fact, it is very important when you know that your hand is not stable.

Big LCD is only for preference. Some people prefer big so that when during play back time, you can see the picture clearer. While some find that it is easier to frame the shot.

Hope this helps you.

Btw, my friend got his A570 for $330 @ Sim Lim AP
 

thanks for all teh info .. but when did ur fren buy it ? now promo is 339 with 2gb and battery pack .. dunno can still cut the price not ..
 

For $70/- extra, get the A570-IS anytime !

Anti-shake feature with come in handy in low light / indoor condition.
And for the features/controls at such price, really value for money.
 

A540 - 2.5" - 85,000
A550 - 2.0" - 86,000
A570IS - 2.5" - 115,000
A95 - 1.8" - 118,000

I hope this figures mean something for u..

Place them side by side and u shall see the difference..by having a higher pixel count, its more pleasant to view the image on the LCD..

A570IS for me anythime..some more got IS..
 

thanks for all the great advise everyone ! finally got my A570is ! Really appreciate all help rendered ! THANKS !
