Summary: Exellent Point & Shoot Camera!
Comment: I have had my own SD870IS camera for about 10 months, and it has retained it's reliability and speed. When I was in the market, I was looking for some features that I wanted in a compact Point & Shoot. Here are those features, and this camera has them:
-Better than average video quality
-fast speed between pressing the shutter button and shooting the photo.
-Very short "Power-up & Ready" time
-Widescreen Shooting Capability
-Big clear LCD display
-Few buttons
-Good Look and Feel
-Solid Biuld
-Long Battery Life
-Support for High Capacity SD cards
-Exellent Macro Capability
I will briefly talk about each of these features.
I was quite surprised of the video quality that this camera produces.
It compresses the video little, hence the quality, using "Motion JPEG" compression. You will be pleased. You can also shoot video in Macro, which is quite impressive.
When you press the shutter button(after pressing half way for focus in some situations), you get a very quick response. This camera also has very short "power-up & ready" time.
I am pleased with the Widescreen shootng Capability this camera has. The wide photos look exellent. This is the shooting mode I use most.
The SD870IS has a vivid 3" LCD display. The brightness is adjustable ofcourse. Aside the display are the main buttons. The functions from top to bottom are: Playback(videos & stills), Direct Print and Multifuction button, directional and Multifunction wheel, camera menu, LCD display options.
I have been on so many occasions with this camera where I shot photos constantly. The battery always lets me exceed 200+ photos. I keep two batterys on me. I rarely have to get out the second battery. This Camera uses a very good proprietary Lithium Ion battery.
I'm thankful for the support for SDHC(Secure Digital High Capacity)that this camera provides. With the Multi Gigabytes worth of photos I shoot on each occassion, my 4 Gigabyte SDHC card always suits me.
I am very pleased with the close-ups I shoot with this camera. I shoot close-ups very often. And about 90% of those photos turn out extremely good.
I hope this review helps you. I am very pleased with the Canon SD870IS compact Point & Shoot.

Summary: Canon PowerShot SD87OIS
Comment: I love this camera! It is so easy to use and so small it fits in a pocket. My previous digital camera was too complicated. This manual is very user friendly (for someone who is a beginner) and if you want to do more advanced stuff, the manual explains step by step. This is a great camera with a fabulous price. The pictures are perfect.

Summary: i am really happy with that machine
Comment: i have been using this machine for a month and it is absolutely perfect. very quick and it shots so nice. it is easy to use. before that one i was using sony cyber shot, but canon is absolutely better than Sony. i have taken so many good photos, i hope i will take more and more... if you want to see one of them just contact with me :)
one minor thing, it came to me without a safe bag... i wish the package contains a safe bag too.

Summary: Great camera!
Comment: I did research for a number of months and the most complicated facet of the research involved the high number of models produced by Canon. After comparing features and price, I found that this camera had the best mix of price and features. I particularly like the wider angle of the lens.
I have used the camera for about a month now and have not been dissappointed at all. I have taken shots at a lounge/night club, the beach, indoors swimming pool, and in the house. I got beautiful shots in all of these different lighting conditions. In addition, I took a shot using the digital zoom at its max and shot came out pretty clear.
As far as negatives, I would say it is difficult to grip the camera given its finish. I almost dropped it twice while removing it from the case. I now do not grasp the camera without holding the strap. Also, it seems that the battery does not charge when connected to a computer via the USB cord. It looks like the only way to charge the camera is to take the battery out and use the supplied charger which is okay but it is inconveient.
All in all, the benefits outweigh the negatives and the negatives are understandable given the size of the camera. Overall, very happy with this purchase. Amazon shipped the camera quickly and it arrived sooner than expected.

Summary: Awesome camera!
Comment: The Canon PowerShot series is definitely the best mini camera series available in the market. I bought the SD870 for my sister, and I have the SD850 myself. When it comes to taking landscape photos, the SD870 is better due to the wide screen, but I definitely prefer the micro shots of the SD850.
So I would pick either the SD850 or the SD870 (I tried many others!! They are the best!) according to what the type of photos you take more often.... Both are excellent!
