Cannon supershot cameraNovember 23, 2008 We took the camera on vacation two weeks ago. It took great pictures and was very easy to use and small enough to carry in my hand or hook on a belt. Delivery was faster than I thought it would be even though we paid nothing extra for shipping. I would definitely recommend this camera.
Canon's Customer Support Is Top NotchNovember 23, 2008 Purchased the SD870 IS over a year ago (11NOV07) and it has performed better than expected. I also own the Canon EOS digital XT but the wife and I needed something compact to carry around. Since then the SD870 has become our primary camera.
On a different note, my 2 year-old was playing with SD870 and managed to jam lens. I submitted a repair request through Canon's website [...] and in less than 7 working days after I shipped camera to Canon my camera was back from the repair center in perfect working order. The entire process was simple, from submitting ticket request to checking status of repair online, and all this was done under warranty.
Pretty Good, yup, Pretty Pretty GoodNovember 23, 2008 I've had this camera for 6 weeks or so now.
Overall I'm very happy with it. I like the wide angle.
It fits in my pocket easily.
I love the intervalometer (time lapse) movie setting.
The Image Stabilization (IS) works really well, much better than my previous camera.
Some of the other Canon SD IS family are cheaper (SD800) with a slightly smaller screen and no time lapse. I like the 870 but could have bought the 800 and probably been happy.
Canon PowerShot SD870IS 8MP Digital Camera with 3.8x Wide Angle Optical Image Stabilized Zoom (Silver)November 16, 2008 Excellent! I recommend it. Easy to use, friendly, great quality of pictures, small and light.
Best wide angle point and shootNovember 12, 2008 3 out of 3 found this review helpful
I have been a loyal nikon customer for years. I have gone through 3 other nikons, always upgrading. when I first picked up this camera the quality of the product and it's images blew past that of every camera on display. 1. the wide angle lens allows you to increase those group shots from four or five to 8 or 9 w/o needing to back up ten feet. 2. once you begin to play around and figure out all of the settings/iso modes etc....you can really push this camera to the limits. I have become a huge fan of the color isolation feature. 3. when zooming, even in the optical, the pixilation and shadowing is far better than that of other cameras on the market. I compared this with two nikons, panasonic, and a sony. None had such a clear screen to view, nor the features. this camera may not be an slr, but for the price, features, and appeal it has when i pull it out....i will always be a canon guy now!
