– Eduardo Souza Caxa, 09/11/2007 This brand new model of Canon's well known and excellently rated SD series sports a very fashionable case, with pletora of functions and superb image quality. No regrets taken, this is a choice that definitely pays out! – M. Shirazi, 09/12/2007 This is such a great camera. The 3 inch screen stands out even outside. I love the wide-angle lense which allows you to get those people to the side when taking a group picture. There are many different shooting modes made for just about any situation. I have the SD550 and this is definitely a great upgrade to it. The image stabilization works even at full optical zoom and the face detection really does make a difference. I'm more than happy with the purchase and we hope to use this camera for many years to come. Definitely recommend to those who want the best for the money (IMO) – gweempose, 09/15/2007 This camera replaced my trusty SD450. I loved the SD450, but I wanted to upgrade to something with image stabilization. To put it simply, the SD870 totally rocks! The 3" screen is beautiful to behold. It's even viewable outside with bright sunlight shining directly on it. And the pictures this thing takes are absolutely gorgeous! They are sharp as a tack, and the colors are spot on. I have to say, the image stabilization really makes a big difference, particularly when you are shooting in low light. I also like the new, wide-angle lens. It really comes in handy when taking group shots or shooting in close quarters. The only negative I can come up with is the lack of an optical viewfinder. I guess this is a sacrifice you have to make in order to get a screen this big on such a small camera. Pros: Sharp photos with great color saturation Optical image stabilization Speedy shot-to-shot time for an ultra-compact Bright 3" screen that's easy to view in all lighting situations Great movie mode 28mm - 105mm (35mm equiv.) 3.8x wide-angle zoom lens Easy to use controls with intuitive GUI Cons: No optical viewfinder _________________________________________________ Overall, I think the SD870 is just about perfect in every way, and I highly recommend it! – Mountain King, 09/19/2007 If you are looking for the best 28 mm p&s of it's class, you found it. If you are strapped for cash, you can opt for the SD800 which is similar but not the same. The SD800 is a smudge heavier, while having a smaller LCD. Image quality on the SD870 is on par with the 850, which in my humble opinion is pretty damn good. Despite the nay sayers, IQ is better than the 800. Barrel distortion/"soft corners" are present, as they are in all the p&s cameras with 28 mm, but it is hardly noticeable. They finally did away with the image finder as well. Why do consumers need it anyways? The 3 inch lcd is just beautiful to look at, and for all intents and purposes of a camera like this, it does a great job. The thing is lighter than it's predecessors, but definitely not worse in build quality. They used heavy duty blast type plastic to reinforce everything. The thing is light. It's small. It's definitely easy to use. Image quality is great for a ultra compact. Definitely worth the money if you're looking for an upgrade to the SD800. I can't stress enough how very happy I am with the camera. – Matt, 09/30/2007 The Canon sd870 IS features everything I could ever hope for in a point and shoot camera. If you can live without an optical viewfinder and are careful around the battery doors, I'd tell anyone looking for a digital camera to look no further than this model. Canon's, as a general rule, are great performers and this camera goes above and beyond expectation. Image quality is spot on! The image stabilizer does help (just don't expect miracles). The slightly longer (and wider) than average zoom lens is just a treat. It's pretty speedy (won't set any records, but it won't hold you up either). One thing I thoroughly enjoy about this camera (especially over the Canon sd900 I'm upgrading from) is that it shows you the battery level on the LCD screen (whereas the sd900 would only alert you when the battery is dead or dying). I'll also say that the back of the camera is a little full, so you might just want to check one out in person to make sure the design suits you well. I find it a little cumbersome to have to fumble around with my thumb, especially to see the indicator light, but it's a minor annoyance I'm only too happy to accept when there's so much else to love about the camera.
