Photo : Canon PowerShot SD870IS 8MP Digital Camera with 3.8x Wide Angle Optical Image Stabilized Zoom (Silver) |
- 3rd Canon Point and ShootI bought my wife a SD800IS and was looking for another one for one of the kids. I ended up, over time (6 months) picking up 2 more. The 870 replaced the 800 so I now have 2 870's and 1 800. Biggest thing I like about this camera is that it has a wider angle than any of the other ones. Mostly, the wife and kids shoot indoors or in a close setting. The wider angle allows for them to get more into the picture. They take great pictures and if/when we really need a good shot I have a Canon Digital SLR I use. So, it really works out great. They all have loved them, they're fairly easy to operate and if you want to get a bit more advanced, they also have that capability. Obviously, as I now have 3, I'd recommend them to anyone. In a close, say under 50', setting, you really can't tell the difference between their pictures shot with a $250.00+ camera or mine with $3500 between the camera and lense. If you're not planning on blowing them up past about an 8x10 you won't be able to tell the difference. Good luck!!

- so far so goodso far (2 weeks) everything is fine. pictures have beautiful colors. the screen is really big. and i like the zoom. two things I don't like so much:
1. with the red-eye-reduction it flashes so long and so bright nobody can look into the camera and leave the eyes open. without the reduction the eyes are completely red.
2. it's difficult to take pics without flash even when it is really bright sometimes. you have to increase the iso, just turning the flash off, you can't take pics of things and people moving just a little. but increasing the iso decreases the quality of the pic :(

- Solid portable camera - overal best for the moneyI like this camera for great battery life and decent pictures. For most of us (amateurs) 8mp should be quite sufficient. Also wide angle on this camera is very nice. The camera easily fits in a pocket and is not a burden when you are traveling. I snap 1000 to 1500 shots on 4gb card without a recharge. You can use this camera in addition to a professional SLR (if you just have to have one).

- I have bought THREE of these camerasThis is the THIRD camera I have purchased of this model. I researched digital cameras for several weeks and decided that this was the best model in the range that I could afford. With the first camera that I received from amazon, the screen was unbearably blurry. I tried to change the settings, etc, and I could not get it to look right. So I sent the camera back. I received the 2nd camera which would not work from the start, saying "lens error, please restart camera". So I tried to restart, change the settings, change it to manual, nothing worked. So then I sent it back AGAIN, and exchanged it for the THIRD camera, believing I just had back luck and "third time's a charm". However, I took great pictures for about a month before I had another "lens error". The camera lens will not retract for some reason, and once again it says "lens error, please restart"; however, it will not restart. I am EXTREMELY disappointed.

- Nice picturesMy husband purchased this camera for us after cracking the view screen on our Olympus. I have to say that the pictures are very nice and he had a lot of fun with the video feature on our last backpacking trip. The menus aren't too hard to learn (I figured most of it out during some down time in the tent when it rained). I was able to teach my husband to replay the picures and video with little trouble. Very nice purchase overall.
