Canon Digital Ixus 70 review

 

A decade on, can Canon go back to the future?

Well built and solid ; Fast starting up

Light on features ; Indifferent image quality

A rehashed design, too few controls and the image quality is decidedly lacklustre. Disappointing from Canon

Canon PowerShot SD1000 review

 

Last year marked the 10th anniversary of Canon's Elph cameras. The line started with a film camera, though the company's SD line of digital compacts still carries the Digital Elph moniker. Despite its four-digit number, Canon positions the PowerShot...

Excellent image quality; solid build quality; speedy performance; optical viewfinder; face detection.

No manual exposure controls.

Small size, excellent image quality, and a solid, though not extensive, feature set make the SD1000 a great choice for a compact camera.

Canon Digital IXUS 70 Camera Review

 

At 19.4mm thick, the Canon Digital IXUS 70 the most svelte compact camera that Canon has to offer. The 7.1 Megapixel CCD sensor captures every moment in crisp detail, delivering photo quality prints up to poster size. A scratch-resistant, anti-glare,...

Customise the Digital IXUS 70 with the Shortcut button, allowing quick, one-touch access to preferred settings and shooting options such as white balance, exposure compensation and movie shooting.

Canon IXUS 70

 

As the well-informed among you will know, Canon's IXUS range of cameras is just as concerned with matters of appearance as it is with technical innovation, aiming itself at users who want a device for casual holiday snaps and for taking on nights out,...

Canon IXUS 70

 

Colours - viewfinder - macro shot - build quality - advanced movies - indoor (lowlight) photos

Shutter delay with flash turned on

The Canon IXUS 70 is a good quality pocket sized digital camera. Although you do need to pay a bit more for this model than other digital camera with a similar specification you will find above average picture and build quality. Well worth a close look.

Review: Canon Digital Ixus 70 - tiny point and shoot camera

 

The propaganda The Canon Ixus 70's smart, minimalist look is inspired by the original Ixus design. It's finished in silver and black and despite its small dimensions it feels incredibly well built and solid
