Comments about Canon Powershot SD870IS 8.0mp Digital Camera - Silver:

Three of us at work have this same camera and we all feel the same "It is Awesome". Takes fantastic photos and cycles quick. I bought this for my wife since she takes most of the pictures to replace our Sony that uses floppy disks. There's no comparison. When I saw the instructin books and all the features this camera has, I was afraid my wife might think it was a bit to complex and not like it. She liked the camera so much she read the instruction book and loves the camera. I bought her a couple of 4G memory cards and she shoots pictures all the time. The software that comes with the camera downloads the photos through the included USB cable and provides software for viewing, editing and printing. I do suggest always having the wriststrap or neckstrap on to prevent droping it because it could slip out of your hand. The viewfinder is large and yet the camera is quite small. The builtin flash distance is fairly short so if you plan on taking alot of flash shots at distances beyond about 10 feet you may want to get an auxillary flash. The battery charger is very small and compact. I would recommend this camera [...] to anyone and my wife wouldn't part with it. I started to buy this camera at another dealer online advertising a better price,but when I went to purchase they said that that was a foreign version with a small battery and the US version would cost more and I would need a larger battery.

Comments about Canon Powershot SD870IS 8.0mp Digital Camera - Silver:

This camera is realy great!I like the lcd screen,and fact that it`s fast as hell.I have 8gb card in it.I can make over 2400 pictures in best quality.Videos are great,but in best q. they take a lot of space(not problem for 8gb).Only thing that`t doesn`t work that good is red-eye,high % of photos come out with red color.
Other thing is no multi -burst mode,wich is good for playing around.Original battery that comes with camera is enough,and you don`t need extra one,like most of sellers recomend you.Prodact is great and you have my fully recomendation!

The camera is very easy to handle. I like it. The only disadvantage is the the flash is too weak. When I take pictures in dim light the outcome is very dark.

Comments about Canon Powershot SD870IS 8.0mp Digital Camera - Silver:

My only problem with this camera is that it has so many different settings that I often have to refer to the manual for help. If I used it more often, though, this probably wouldn't be a problem. I took it on a two week tour of Italy, and while it fit in my pocket easily, the pictures were outstanding.

Comments about Canon Powershot SD870IS 8.0mp Digital Camera - Silver:

I wanted something a little more portable than my DSLR, so I bought this camera to use for quick and on-th-go snaps of my infant daughter. For the most part, I have been pleased - especially with the color swap/focus and face recognition technology. The flash is pretty stark and often washes out subjects and/or leaves dark shadows around them. It has a slow response, but I don't think it is any slower than any other P.A.S. pocket camera. I have recommended it to family/friends looking for a small camera to add to their camera collection.

Comments about Canon Powershot SD870IS 8.0mp Digital Camera - Silver:

I love the wide angle which few cameras have. The macro function is great. The only thing I don't like is that to get an extended warranty is expensive and not available through Canon.

This is the best point-and-shoot camera of its class! It has a huge 3-inch screen and easy-to-use controls. Plus, it is very small and light! Great camera for casual use. I also enjoy its camcorder feature, which can record pretty decent-quality videos.
