Generally, some of the advantages of the Nikon S570 compared to travel zoom competitors include: it has a slightly wider aperture (f/2.7 vs f/3.3), is slightly smaller (super compact 92x57x22 mm vs compact 104x60x30 mm), slightly closer macro focusing (3 cm vs 10 cm), is thinner (0.9" vs 1.2") and is slightly lighter (140 g vs 209 g).
However, on average it has slightly less zoom (5x vs 14x), has a slightly smaller screen (2.7" vs 3.0"), has a slightly lower resolution screen (230k dots vs 461k dots), doesn't have image stabilization (none vs lens) and has a CCD-family sensor (CCD vs CMOS).
