I use the big, bulky, professional 35mm digital SLR's everyday at work.  When I'm not at work, I want a nice, small, light camera to carry with me.  But, I'm spoiled by the outstanding image quality I get from those big cameras at work. Well I've found my answer.  The Canon - Powershot SD870 IS Digital... review »

I love Canon when they use to be made to last like Nikon they use to be so expensive but was worth paying for it when they last for ever...When the prize started to come down and not for a reason they made  up grade on this cam. you need to start to ask the question why and where are they made, start...

I did some serious research and compared this sd870, the sd750 and the new sd1100's with IS.  I LOVED the large screen of the sd870 and sd750 but wanted the IS of the 1100... so, after actually buying all 3 (the nice sales folks said I could try them out and return the 2 I didn't want) and comparing image quality, color etc... I was sold on the sd870.  While the IS won't cure every movement, it definitely helps and I am glad I got a camera with it and I am so pleased I went with the HUGE screen.  It's amazing.  I wish that the sd870 had the image resizing tool in the camera like the 1100 does--... review »

This is an excellent camera.  It has great features for taking all kinds of pictures in different settings.  It's lightweight and pretty easy to use if you are a previous Canon camera user.  If not, it might take a little while to get used to but after that its great.  Also takes great videos in pretty high resolution.  I would recommend this camera to anyone!

I got the Canon SD 870 for Christmas and haven't found a single thing that I don't like about this camera. Awesome pictures, tons of features, easy to change settings and very intuitive to use. My wife has a Canon SLR professional style camera and I honestly don't see any difference in the quality of pics. Another great thing is the screen. Although the camera is relatively small, the screen is huge. It's easily 8/10ths the size of the whole camera. Makes reviewing your pix, very easy to correct errors and take again if need be.This is one sweeeet little camera!!

The Canon Powershot SD870 is a really good camera for regular use- I take it out with friends and family, to sporting events, etc- I've gotten some great pictures with the zoom of athletes at sporting events. However, it is not a camera that would last forever-- I treat mine well and it has slowly developed some issues. I'll be looking to replace it in the next couple of years (I've had it for a year) so don't buy this and expect it to last too long.

I have owned a Cannon Camera SD870 for quite a while and love it!  It is not excellente but it takes nice and crisp pictures.   For a regular person like me  this camera is perfect.   It has 8.0 megapixels of resolution, an optical image stabilizer, face detection, a large 3.0 inch lcd, auto ISO shit, and 3.8x optical zooming.    It takes some time to get use to all the features that this camera offers but it is easy to use.  This camera takes wonderful pictures but the bad thing is that it has poor light performance.  I would really love it more if this camera would have the crop and...

This Canon-SD870,which i bought recently is priced $300.It is my dream to buy a camera with 8.0 megapixel.It is not an ordinary camera,got great style and smooth shape.It has 3.8 x optical zooming.It has even the auto face detection technology for worry free people shot.

Great camera. very stylish ..My friends are really jealous that I own such a beautiful camera..It has got very big screen 3 inches...you hardly find big lcd in photoshoot category. It takes great pictures..the picture quality is awesome. Only negative thing i found that- it lacks a viewfinder.Also its button are a bit small if you have big fingers..
Overall a very good camera..if you are looking for the ultimate photoshoot camera with superb looks and very good picture quality then you have to stop by and take a look at this camera..

This camera is awesome.  It's been dropped, beaten up, packed and unpacked, and used used used.  Still going strong after a year and a half!  Great options and the best part is that the battery is rechargeable--no more running to the store for AA's!  Takes a standard memory card that can be put into most laptops and uploaded easily.  It's basically plug and play.  Easy to use, easy to learn, fun, durable, great value for the money.  I'd suggest the Canon Power Shot to anyone.

I've always had sony cybershots, but I ventured out and got this little Canon Power Shot SD780 IS.  I'm loving it! The color on it is more vivid and has more contrast.  the "blurring" with small movements is much less than with the cybershot.  I'm impressed!

I love this product, I carry it everywhere.  It's been my baby's timeline recorder and I use it at work to take pictures for samples.  It is light and easy to use, and the images are great!
