Canon PowerShot S70 7.1MP Digital Camera with 3.6x Optical Zoom

I've owned more than a dozen cameras since i first caught the photography bug thirty years ago, but the S70 is by far my favorite (so far!).I could go on and on about the amazing range of features packed into the S70's compact, sturdy little body (and i must admit that both the features and the design are impressive!). But what impresses me most about this camera is the consistently excellent images it produces.The optics are superb; they are quick to focus and produce razor-sharp photos. The metering, too, is excellent, even in high-contrast situations. And the color fidelity is among the best i've ever seen in a digital camera, at any price.This camera also boasts a true wide-angle lens, which is great if you photograph landscapes or architecture. And at a whim, the S70 can be a fully automated "point and shoot" or the next-best-thing to a fully manual SLR. I also love the thick plastic cover over the LED screen on the back!The flash is perhaps a bit underpowered, which can contribute to the "red eye" some other reviewers complained about. I've noticed this to be a problem only in very low light, though, and it's my only complaint (and a minor one, at that!).If you're looking for a rugged, reliable compact digital camera that consistently captures great images, look no further than the S70.

The s70 is a good all around camera for the secrete paparazzi in you. At its highest resolution you get amazing detail in the pictures. The digital zoom does make the picture a little grainy, which is a bummer. This is one camera where you need to read the manual if you want to take advantage of all of its features. I was a little disappointed in the TV viewing of my pictures. Perhaps it is my TV but the images are black and white.With this camera you really must upgrade your flash RAM to 2GB. You can pick it up from [...] for about $100. The high rez pics are very large. I also bought the lens adapter and the tele-lens. Haven't received them yet so I can't let you know how they work.Over all rating of this camera is good. With the other accessories; tripod (large and pocket size), 2GB memory, lens adapter, lens, remote control, and spare battery this setup is great for the dad looking for a camera to capture the family moments in life.

Good older camera with a nice wide angle lens. For the price used that this camera is going for you can't go wrong. It has a nice wide angle lens and that's why I bought it as the 3X zoom is basically old school. I used either my Canon 520 HS with a 10x zoom, my Canon SX 50 with a 50x zoom or a Panasonic FZ 150 or Panasonic FZ 30 for an older camera with zoom and barrel focus.This camera while a bit large for a pocket will fit in a pouch. It takes exceptionally good pictures. I've attached a photo

Purchased it used, primarily for its 28mm (35mm equivalent) lens & the fact that it can use an infrared remote shutter control. Worked well for my needs.

It is incredible to me that we purchased this camera 10 years ago, used it a ton, and then handed it down to the kids. It still works perfect thanks to the rugged all metal body and well protected optics, switches, and buttons. You don't see many products with this quality anymore. Thanks Canon!

This camera never worked correctly before it quit working altogether.

The camera arrived in great condition. It works very well. I am very, very pleased with the product and the service.

We got many years of excellent pictures from this camera. Finally wore out the sliding door and replaced it with an Elph.
