Comments about Canon Canon Powershot SD870-IS Digital Camera, 8.0 Megapixel, 3.8x Optical, 4x Digital Zoom, 3" LCD Screen - Black:

I bought this camera for a trip to Asia. I'm not much of a photographer but I thought this was relatively easy to use and a good deal for the cost. It was also good that the battery recharger worked in multiple voltages, so I could travel without an adapter to China and Japan.
My one problem was that the controls aren't the MOST user friendly and you are going to want to take it off of auto sometimes. It was a little less intuitive than I would have liked. Otherwise, great.

Comments about Canon Canon Powershot SD870-IS Digital Camera, 8.0 Megapixel, 3.8x Optical, 4x Digital Zoom, 3" LCD Screen - Black:

This camera has all of the Canon Powershot series functionality with a 3" LCD and 3.8x Zoom. It is a little heavier than most of the others, which I find to be better. The touch wheel takes some getting used to, and usually isnt worth once you do get the hang of it. The battery life on this camera is excellent.

Comments about Canon Canon Powershot SD870-IS Digital Camera, 8.0 Megapixel, 3.8x Optical, 4x Digital Zoom, 3" LCD Screen - Black:

I use this camera to take pictures of problems in homes. Some of the rooms are small and the angles are tight. This having the side angel really helps get show that there is more room than there looks. It is very clear and shows detail very well which is really important.

Comments about Canon Canon Powershot SD870-IS Digital Camera, 8.0 Megapixel, 3.8x Optical, 4x Digital Zoom, 3" LCD Screen - Black:

I brought this camera with me on my trip to Europe and the pictures came out fantastic. It is a sleek and small camera, not bulky, and is great for travel. The camera is also very sturdy - I took it out in a snow storm to take pictures of some friends playing in the snow and it withstood that very well. The only thing I don't like about it is its battery cover - it is a little too flimsy for my comfort. However, I can live with it, since the image quality is awesome!

My wife and I bought this camera before we left for a trip to Europe. This has been the best digital camera I have ever owned! Good battery life, beautiful, large screen with vibrant colors, wide angle lens, and easy to use features have made this camera a winner! Every friend has said, "where did you get that camera?? It takes awesome pictures!"
