 New Camera August 11, 2008
0 out of 1 found this review helpful
Not a whole lot of complaints other than I have a hard time getting non-blurry pictures inside sometimes. I think I just have to play with it more. Battery life is good. Camera is build solidly. The transfer software is easy to use. The videos looks great. Use the "night mode" anytime your inside and it's much better. Bought an 8GB SDHC card for plenty of storage. Each time I put it in and take it out of the case I'm extremely careful not to turn it on because the lens will pop out automatically and I read that it will break if it meets resistance.
Awesome digital camera! Improvements over SD750 August 11, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
I already own the SD750IS so I got this so my wife could have the new one and I would take the SD750. I like the larger screen on the new SD870. The own off switch at the top is also nice. It seems much faster at turning on and off than the 750 so that is also a plus.
All in all, it is the same size, it is easy to use. Oh yes, one very nice improvement is that it tells you the battery level. No more getting caught out with a battery that dies unexpectedly.
I bought a spare battery with this camera because I did not know they had added that feature so for 1 battery users, they will know when it is time to recharge :)
You will be very happy with this camera. You can't beat it for the money spent. I originally bought the SD750 after reading the review on www.kenrockwell.com .
SD 870 in comparison to the SD 850 August 9, 2008
4 out of 4 found this review helpful
This review is in comparison to the SD850 I just returned. The SD870 is definitely the focus group evolution of the SD850 (Canon listened to its customers' complaints). The SD870 on/off button is on top and much easier to access. There is now a dedicated "review button" (no longer do you need to click the wheel back and forth to proof your shot). The size and thickness of the cameras are essentially the same, but the SD870 is considerably lighter. The 28mm lens gives the SD870 a wider shot, but it does have more of the "barrelling effect," but still ever so slight. The viewscreen is much larger than the SD850 and does very well in direct sunlight. I am not too particularly concerned with not having a viewfinder in that the SD850 viewfinder is almost cosmetic in nature (no crosshairs, no borders, not accurate). I prefer using a viewfinder on SLRs, but on compacts I question the usefulness of them. The start time for the SD870 is a split second faster than the SD850. All the camera effects that the SD850 has, including facial recognition and color accent are all available in the SD870. These subtle improvements may not be enough to convince you to dish out a little extra for the SD870, but the bigger screen size, wider lens, and lighter weight were the reasons why I made the switch. I hope this helps in your decision.
Canon Powershot SD870IS August 8, 2008

This camera replaced my Canon Powershot 750 which was stolen. The 850 is a little more bulky, but still a compact size. It also has image stabiliztion and the wide angle lens makes it far superior to the 750 and most other brands of digital cameras.
Great little camera! August 8, 2008

I love Canon cameras. In addition to this one, I also own the very similar Canon PowerShot SD630. However, this updated version has a better lens, higher megapixels, and, most importantly, image stabilization. It's slightly thicker than my SD630, but just as easy to hold and to operate, maybe even easier. As with most cameras of this type with large screens, there is no viewfinder but I haven't found this to be a problem. This has to be one of the best compact cameras on the market.
