5 out of 5 stars Great Camera   October 3, 2008
Sports Nut (Fort Washington, MD)
This is my very first digital camera and it took me years to pick one. I've used friend's cameras and find that Canons seem to take better pictures. I'm very happy with my decision. The camera is very user-friendly so it wasn't too intimidating. Taking group picture is a breeze with the wide angle lens. Action shots comes out clear and not blurry (at the right setting) and night shots are amazing. The movie function is nice but don't expect it to give you quality like a real digi-camcorder. All-in-all a very nice point & shoot.


4 out of 5 stars Canon 870 overall good, but here are a few considerations   October 2, 2008

When I set out to buy a digital camera two things were really important to me. I wanted a camera that took pictures quickly and started up fast to catch those candid moments that happen spontaneously. In those respects the Canon 870 does very well. Picture to picture is about .9 sec. And start up to first picture is about 1.4 sec. There also is a myriad of settings that are fun to use. The 870 also uses sd cards which was important to me because I have three of those and didn't want to buy new memory cards to fit in other cameras like the new sony's. Other advantages of the 870 is that it has image stablizier and face recognition which is helpful in focusing on people and keeping things in focus. Overall the camera is great for those everyday shots and even for individuals who like to explore the cameras settings. The camera has a few downsides. I've noticed that sometimes its hard to take pictures that are in focus. Sometimes I've really had to work and take several pictures to get one in focus. This is especially apparent in low light settings. Without a tripod it is hard to get pictures in focus and bright enough. Otherwise its a gerat camera, well built and can take amazing pictures if your patient to get it just right.


5 out of 5 stars Great Little Camera   October 2, 2008

Just like the title says, it is a great little camera. It takes very nice pictures. The large screen is nice compared to my old A85 power shot. I don't miss the view finder, never used it anyway. I am glad I went with this camera with the wide angle lens. It captures alot more. You don't have to keep backing up as far to get everyone into the frame. This camera doesn't fit in the Canon case very good. It is too thick so the cover doesn't close correctly.


5 out of 5 stars Swiss Ski Vacation & the Canon 870IS   September 30, 2008

Watch Video Here: http://www.amazon.com/review/R385IOX08D9K2I This camera was purchased just before a ski trip to the Jungrfrau Region in Switzerland. The camera behaved flawlessly and took over 450 photos and 10 videos without a hitch. The only errors were self inflicted by the photographer. It is wonderful to have such a small camera that takes such awesome and inspiring photos. I kept the camera in a fleece bag while skiing or in my backpack in a camera case. The camera traveled everywhere from Zuerich, Thun and Zermatt. I like the size and the ability to take pictures anywhere and at any time. This video was filmed in B/W mode while I was skiing behind my friends. The location was Murren, Switzerland.
