Canon PowerShot SD870 IS Review

With every digital compact camera there are key components to look at when it comes time to get one. With the Canon PowerShot SD870 IS, you’ll notice that it hits on the most crucial details that make it a great camera to have.

First things first, the resolution. With the new Canon PowerShot SD870 IS you can get stunningly large pictures with fine details through the help of the 8 megapixel CCD. We’ve noticed the resolution of all the Canon PowerShot SD’s is excellent and this new model just adds to their list of quality, consumer demanded cameras.

The zoom on this digital camera is a little different than most. With the Canon PowerShot SD870 IS you get a wide angle, 3.8x optical zoom lens that makes it easy and simple to take colorful pictures as well as wide family shots without leaving people out of the frame. This is a unique feature that isn’t common among entry level digital compact cameras.

The design of Canons new camera is absolutely stunning. The Canon PowerShot SD870 IS has got two colors currently out, Black and Silver. The black shiny finish surrounding the 3.0-inch low-temperature polycrystalline silicon TFT color LCD with wide viewing screen gives this camera a look that sets it apart from the rest of the competition and that is familiar with most of Canons Digital Cameras.

What it comes down to essentially is the technology. We now know that the Canon PowerShot SD870 IS looks great, but can it perform? Nobody wants to buy a great looking digital camera if all it does is ruin what it was made to do. With this camera though, you get the common Face Detection Technology as well as Image Stabilization to help you take beautiful shots of family members and just about anything. Shooting modes on this camera are easy and convenient to sort through and adjust. Shooting modes include Auto, Camera M, Color Swap, Special Scene (Portrait, Foliage, Beach, Aquarium, Underwater, Indoor, Fireworks, Snow, Kids & Pets, Night Snapshot), Color Swap, Digital Macro, Color Accent, Stitch Assist and Movie Mode.

Don’t miss out on the Canon PowerShot SD870 IS. You get a great camera, from a great name, who has an absolute great reputation in the photography industry.
