 great camera, not bad at movies, February 8, 2008
I really like this camera, the SD870. I got the 4 gig Class 6 memory, and movies are very good, sound is actually perfect as well. I had no idea how well the movies would work. still pics are perfect. I have the A650IS for work, and the smaller, lighter SD870 can do almost everything the bigger one can do. One big advantage for industrial work is the A650 swing-out, rotating LCD screen, but that is not important for home/family use. The speed of both cameras between pictures is great, flash recovery, everything.
PROBLEMS: I am a control freak, so when I plug the camera into the USB port, I expect every functionality of Explorer; not the case. you cannot move pics from your PC to the camera for instance, so get a SD flashcard reader and pull the memory when you want to get your pics and movies. NOTE: class 6 memory will not work w/ older card readers.
last comment- read the rebate info CAREFULLY> I was denied because I was supposed to purchase a camera AND a printer to qualify; that pissed me off, but the camera still works great! JP
SD 870 is SWEET February 7, 2008

This camera is very nice, I recently decided to buy a new camera and was deciding between the 12 MP Kodak, a Sony Cybershot with the touch screen, however I decided on the Canaon SD 870 for several reasons. For one it has a lot of great features.
1. Great Megapixels (You can blow up the image really big without losing any clarity)
2. Great Video: 30 FPS at good resolution that shows up very crisp on my computer screen and TV. It is very easy to put the video in slow motion, which I use to look at my golf swing, which it captures very well. Also you can do a movie mode which takes a picture once every 1 or 2 seconds which is good for clouds passing over and other good stuff.
3. Color Accent Mode, it is very neat to select a color of something and have that be the only color that shows up in the picture.
4. Wide Angle Lens, Definately makes a difference.
5. Great Screen, this does not take too much battery life, I recorded a lot of video and took probably close to 300 photos on one charge, but being one person who charges something when its only about half full, I consider I probably could have stretched the life out further.
6. Ease of Use: Right out of the box it was easy to figure out how to do certain things with the camera, I used to have a Sony before this and it is about the same to operate it. I did have to look in the book for a couple minutes to figure out how to do color accent and some other speacial camera modes, but it is all still very simple.
7. It comes with AV cables, and its easy to transfer pictures to the computer and view them.
Overall I am very happy I bought this camera on Amazon, I saved almost $60.00 over other retailers and I have no regrets about my purchase.
Great Camera February 6, 2008

It was a toss up between this and the Sony T70. After trying out both for about a week, the Canon definitely wins. It takes great photos, has lots of setting (both practical and fun), the 28mm wide angle is a nice plus, big screen, etc. I could go on and on.
 Nice compact camera February 3, 2008

I have had experience with the Canon SD700 and SD1000, this camera is just as good or better. The screen is easy to view for shots and I don't miss the little viewfinder, not that I ever used it due to the large size of the LCD screen. The colors are extremely vivid on the LCD but the actual pictures lack the same intensity. The pictures are excellent though, just don't expect the LCD to give you a good "color" indication on what the photos will look like, your PC will give a better example. All features seem readily accessible ( I say "seem" because the options are similar to the other two cameras I mentioned and I don't really have any other experience with different manufacturers' models) and the images are quick to adjust. I especially appreciate the readily accessible custom white balance feature when the Auto White Balance options just don't seem to cut it. The 4x6" prints that the SD870 produces in Fine mode are of good quality and I can't wait to try a larger print. The speed of picture taking does seem alittle slow but otherwise this was an excellent purchase. I needed a small unit that was quick to use and convenient to stow, this definitely makes the grade.
Trust me, will exceed your expectations..!!!!!!!! February 1, 2008

You will love it, a wonderful cam with a lot of options, a very good deal that you will never regret..!!
I bought the camera two month ago and I can say it is the best camera I have ever had..!! I use to have a Sony with 8 MB that was much more expensive with much less options..!! This canon has all what you will expect from a professional camera. The screen is beautiful and big that you will really love. Pictures are bright and very nice, even videos are wonderful.!!!
Don't you ever think that saving money with other brands will make you happy, coz you will not buy a camera every week.!! You will need a good camera that will last a while, and I am confident that this camera will last with me for a long time..!!
I will definitely recommend this camera to friends and family..!!
Trust me you will really love it..!!
