Canon SD 870 IS, best camera!
Strengths: wide screen, clear picture, high quality
Weakness: None
Once I got familiar with some of the shooting methods, this camera has been my favorite companion during travel. Easy to view with its 3" LCD screen, and excellent pictures with its wide angle shot. Video taking and sound recording worked well. I haven't tried all shooting methods, but so far all pictures turned out great, and pictures of night views without tripod were beyond my expectation! It...

Little Giant in a small package
Strengths: Quality,Size,Screen,Wide Angle,battery life,video quality,sound recorder,software, the list goes on and on!
Weakness: 32MB card,no case included
This is an amazing little full featured camera. I was looking for a camera that had everything I could get without going to a bulky full size SLR. I think I have found it in the 870IS. It's a bit pricey but you can tell there is a reason why. It is a quality built camera with some amazing features. I just wish they would have packed at least a 1GB card with it. Over all this camera is worth the...

Great camera from Canon
Strengths: Wide angle. Fast. Battery life. After shot is taken, it zooms in to focused areas so I can check focus, blinks, etc.
Weakness: White balance is off for indoor pics.
No real complains. I carry this around when I want to take videos or if I don't want to carry my SLR. Face detection works reasonably well. After the picture is taken, it can zoom in to the focus points so you can check the result. Battery life is pretty good. That's important since the camera doesn't have an optical viewfinder (OVF) which means the LCD needs to be on all the time. On that note,...

Best Canon Pocket Digital ! ! !
Strengths: Very LARGE 3 inch screen Better switches Small & light
Weakness: Realy none...best pocket digital camera I've ever had.
Fantastic large LCD screen at 3.0". Very clear & don't need or miss the viewfinder that kept the screen smaller on earlier models.
Improved switches by not having the camera/movie/view in a single switch which often resulted in accidentally putting camera in movie mode after viewing last picture. Now the review function is a separate switch by itself.

Excellent Camera
Strengths: 3" LCD, Light weight, fast startup
Weakness: LCD is a little grainy in low light, but pictures come out great.
The SD870 has a nice feel and takes great pictures. The image stabilizer feature works very well. It only compensates your hand moves, not the object you are taking. The wide angle lens is great for taking close up shots. I highly recommend this camera.
