- Great comact camera
From my experience the sd870 takes great pics in almost all situations.It performs well with the Sandisk Extreme III 8gb card that I purchased with it.The thumb scroll feature has some "cool" factor to it, but I found it a little "finicky" and choose to turn that feature off and access the menu manually which is equally easy. This camera is fairly compact and light, battery life is better than a lot of its peers. It has all the manual adjustments that I prefer, which aren't alot.I use the white ... Read More

- Great camera, except for distortion
I like the Canon 870 because it is easy to use, is compact, has great battery life, and has a 28mm equivilent wide angle lens. The only draw back is the lens quality which is sharp enough, but has noticable "barrel" distortion at the wide angle setting. This causes otherwise straight walls to be slightly curved outwards at the sides of the photo. This is a minor flaw considering the price and value.

- Wouldn't Buy Again
We have had nothing but problems with this camera.We have had it for just over a year and it has been in the shop for repair 3 times.
When we were looking to buy a digital camera, we looked at many styles, and we liked this one the best.It had a lot of nice features, and picture quality was very good.The only downside was that there was no viewfinder, so on a bright sunny day it's kind of hard to see the LCD.
We have taken very good care of this camera.After about 10 ... Read More
Rating: - Love it
I got this camera 3 weeks ago and think it is fabulous. I love Canon cameras, so a Powershot was a must for me. I spent awhile debating between the 870 and 880, but decided to go with the 870 because of some of the sketchy reviews the 880 was receiving, and I am so happy with me decision.
I went to a bachelorette party over the weekend, and the nighttime option worked wonderfully on all the pictures I took in bars. Several other girls were taking pictures, but mine turned out the clearest ... Read More
Rating: - Canon SD870 IS
I really like the wide angle lens that this camera has.I would rate higher except that I am concerned that the lens is susceptible to sticking if it gets exposed to sand or grit.My previous SD800 IS died this death a little bit after the 1 year warranty lapsed (and I believe that the warranty did not cover this type of problem anyway).I also like the dedicated button to go to viewing mode.This is a definite improvement over the SD800 IS.
