Canon PowerShot S70 7.1 Megapixel Compact CameraStrengths: Wide angle, compact size, sharp pictures, good macro range, very simple to use menu. 7 mega pixels Weakness: Flash in darker or dark rooms make this ring (from the flash) around the corners of the picture. Superb image quality, ability to shoot in full darkness, great range of shutter/aperture controls in automatic and manual modes, very convenient layout of control buttons, 28-100 mm fast lenses, and short charging time are the strongest points of this camera. Many of these features came from much more expensive digicams and are not available from another manufactures for this price and in such...

Canon PowerShot S70 7.1 Megapixel Compact CameraStrengths: great picture quality, simple to use, fairly small, supports CF cards Weakness: body scratches easily, could use a larger zoom, bundle does not include AC adapter This is my 3rd Canon digital camera. However, my most recent camera was a 4 Mpixel Sony Cybershot. I couldn't wait to switch back to a Canon camera again! The Canon S70 gives me consistent sharp and well-lit pictures. Under similar conditions, my Sony camera would produce blurred images every so often, or the flash would leave a shadow around the person in the picture. Not so with the S70. I...

Canon PowerShot S70 7.1 Megapixel Compact CameraStrengths: Image Quality Ease of use Portabe viewing on TV or PC Weakness: None The Canon PowerShot S70 is one of the nicest cameras that I have ever tested and bought based on Quality. I tested in comparison a Sony CyberShot DSC-P73 4.1 Mega Pixel camera and the Sony did not give very good color highlights with red and contrast. On the other hand the Canon PowerShot S70 was excellent when I took pictures of bright red items (my car) no distortion and the fine picture mode...

Canon PowerShot S70 7.1 Megapixel Compact CameraStrengths: Wide Angle, 7MP in a small form factor, good battery life, image quality is excellent Weakness: LCD usage is a joke in daylight, chromatic aberrations at wide angle in sunlight, barrel distortion at wide angle, flash vignetting at wide angle, manual focus difficult w/ LCD size The flexibility in taking shots with features like AF-point/center auto-exposure, manual focus, slow flash synchro, gives it access to similar subsets of features as the G series, all in the small form factor of the S series. The size is definitely a plus. Although not as miniscule as the ultra-compacts, it still can be toted easily on the belt using the camera case accessory. The USB 2.0...

Canon PowerShot S70 7.1 Megapixel Compact CameraStrengths: Excellent resolution Low noise at ISO 50 and 100, not bad at 200 and 400 Excellent metering, color and dynamic range Very clean, artefact-free images Wide-angle zoom (28 - 100 mm equiv.) Excellent range of controls Solid build quality, nice me Weakness: Some purple fringing visible at wide-angle or maximum apertures Some corner softness at wide-angle and maximum aperture Lens slow at telephoto (F5.3) Auto focus can be slow Low-light focus unreliable - especially at long end of the zoom LCD moni With an MSRP of $599, the Canon S70 presents an excellent value for families wanting a small camera that can be used by photographers of every experience level, and capable of producing large high-quality images. Its 7-megapixel images are stunning both in terms of resolution and quality, allowing you to make 8x10-inch prints of a heavily cropped image, or 13x19-inch prints of the entire shot.

Canon PowerShot S70 7.1 Megapixel Compact CameraStrengths: Wide angle. RAW format. Black color, Small size, Best quality of picture, Good macro range. Best picture at night. Weakness: LCD does not work in bright daylight and is too small: movie Mode only has 3 minutes. I think this camera is good for business and family. Small size, black color and amazing details make it very cool and a little professional. I got this camera yesterday. However, I spent 12 hours on it. The quality of picture amazes me. Though the color is not as vivid as Sony F818, the picture does not miss any detail because of 7-megapixel. The 28mm length gives us more range. The battery is...

Canon PowerShot S70 7.1 Megapixel Compact CameraStrengths: Intuitive UI Solid Feel Nice Packaging Weakness: Price The Canon S70 is a nice point and shoot camera. The automatic light sensor seems to be only okay. I was hoping it would be better than the S400 and S500. The cool feature is the storage of images in RAW format. That is really the biggest difference between the Digital ELPHs and this camera. I have noticed that saving RAW files does take some time to save 7.1 MB. Additionally, using a 256 MB CF...

Canon PowerShot S70 7.1 Megapixel Compact CameraStrengths: Takes very good pictures. Fairly small and easy to use. Weakness: S70 has trouble focusing when zoomed in, or in low lighting. Even in good lighting, S70 takes ~1 second to focus. This camera is great for its price, and generally takes amazing pictures. The pictures are extremely sharp. Color seems much better than comparable Sony cameras. Focusing is not as fast as Sony cameras. The S70 is still pretty fast (it only takes about 1 second to focus). Wish it saved to RAW format in the Automatic modes. This is only a minor issue because the highest quality JPEG format is...

Canon PowerShot S70 7.1 Megapixel Compact CameraStrengths: lens, features Weakness: none This is a great digital camera. It's good for someone that just wants to point and shoot or switch it into manual settings to get creative pictures. It's not as small as some of the other cameras out there but it is still light and compact. The quality of the pictures are fantastic.

PowerShot S70
In our round-up, nearly every camera here took good pictures. If size is a factor, the Sony Cyber-shot DSC-P150—with its compact form, light weight, and 7-megapixel pictures—should fit your needs the best. We really liked the Casio Exilim EX-P600’s striking and innovative Ex Finder, but for the same price, we prefer the Canon PowerShot S70’s pictures and RAW capability.... TopAdvertisement

Consistently great pictures with plenty of features
Strengths: Reliable, sturdy body, color fidelity, optics, metering
Weakness: Flash a bit underpowered
I've owned a lot of cameras and the S70 is by far my favorite compact one, along with the Canon 20D. I could go on and on about the amazing range of features packed into the S70's compact, sturdy little body (I droped it on a rock from my tripod during an hiking trip in Yosemite and the camera just has a small scratch). The quality of the procduced images is simply fantastic: the optics are...
