I%26#039;m stuck between the Canon Powershot SD1000 or Canon A570 IS.








BUT!


Here%26#039;s my delima, I want to take self portraits,


indoors or outdoors.


I heard the A570 IS has a lot of noise?





QUESTION:


Which is better for amateur photography AND


self portraits without much noise.


THANKS!

Well the picture you put a link to is really a macro shot and doesn%26#039;t have as much to do with the camera you choose as it does with the lens that is on the camera. I had a Canon Powershot A620, and it worked fine for taking self portraits or pics of friends to post on MySpace or whatever website you use. However, it is not meant as a professional camera- like if you wanted to use your sp%26#039;s in a portfolio as a model. It doesn%26#039;t really produce high quality photo%26#039;s. But I did enjoy the camera while I had it.
