The new Canon Powershot S70 -- G6 Lite?

Date of Review:  Oct 3, 2004
The Bottom Line: The S70 combines the creative imaging capabilities of Canon';s flagship G6 and the convenience and ease of use of the diminutive S500 in a snazzy compact general use digicam.
Review: Canon's first P&S "bridge" camera (the S30) was designed to blend the diminutive size and ease of use of the ultra compact digital elf family with the creative photography capabilities and advanced imaging technology of the "G" family. The new S70...

Canon's S70 is a good step up for most... but not for a few

Date of Review:  Oct 24, 2004
The Bottom Line: A solid 7 MP camera with a few minor faults but overall a solid choice that also allows users room to grow creatively.
Review: I reviewed the Sony Cyber-Shot DSC-P150 about a week ago... now I actually bought the Canon Powershot S70 for a nice low $420! I'm quite excited and can use the accessories from my older S50 with the S70 as well. After playing with this nifty camera...

The Sharper Image

Date of Review:  Sep 22, 2004
The Bottom Line: If you like the new G6, but need a smaller camera, this baby was built just for you.
Review: I was very interested in reviewing the new PowerShot S70 when I heard of its release. As the owner of an S50, I evaluated the newer S60 when it came out and came to the conclusion that the new wide-angle lens was a tremendous advantage, but that...

Canon PowerShot S70 Digital Camera - Wide Angle and RAW, but High Price

Date of Review:  Oct 13, 2005
The Bottom Line: The Canon PowerShot S70 is an excellent camera with wide-angle optics. It is flexible, compact and well built. But it has a relatively small...
Review: Although I was happy with the 5-Megapixel Canon PowerShot S60, I wanted to see what the 7.1-Megapixel Canon PowerShot S70 could do. I got it for $394, which is $176 more than I paid for my S60.

I definitely was interested in a lens that...

We really like the camera and are happy with the purchase

Date of Review:  Dec 2, 2004
The Bottom Line: We're amateurs who want to learn and this camera has everything we think we'll need to do that.
Review: (Technical specs are at the end of this review. In the past, I've had other people tell me that my reviews lacked the technical info, so I'll include that info, but at the end.)

Our son was born in August and we finally admitted it was...

S70 makes taking bad picture extremely difficult for even first time camera users.

Date of Review:  Mar 18, 2005
The Bottom Line: A Perfect family camera, you can use this if you like manual control of picture or want to just point and shoot. Very good value for money.
Review: Last few weeks have been very pleasant for all my friends and family since I had to keep taking their pictures to keep testing all camera functions/modes on Canon PowerShot S70. I carried it in my pocket for 4 weeks randomly taking shots in various...

S70 - 'S' for slick.. And everything else you need

Date of Review:  Aug 25, 2005
The Bottom Line: Buy this one if you want a sleek, convenient and power-packed camera.
Review: The Canon S70 is probably the sleekest and best camera I've used so far. This streamlined chunk of metal comes in a dark, marine blue with matt finish. The camera is powered on by moving the front flat outwards. This flap has a sexy brushed-metal...

Overall rating is correct

Date of Review:  Dec 11, 2005
The Bottom Line: I take better photos than any of my friends. Durability is great (using the S family for more than 3 years now with no problems). I recommend it.
Review: I've been using this digital camera for 11 months now so my review will be more focused on a day-to-day experience.

I bought a Canon S45 some years ago and, except by the easily scratching body material, I was completely satisfied with the...

Excellent compromise between portability and image quality

Date of Review:  Dec 15, 2004
The Bottom Line: Capable, versatile, and great image quality with small size allowed me to capture many excellent photos that I'd have missed if forced to lug around a larger SLR. Recommended.
Review: I have been a fan of Canon's S series for some time (S30, S50 and now S70). The improvements along the way have been incremental, but have resulted in the S70 being the most usable of the line yet.

There is lots to love about this camera...

Not nearly as good as the S50: lens is soft

Date of Review:  Dec 23, 2004
Review: I have the S50, and it's a better camera than the S70. The S70's wide angle lens (28mm equivalent) is just not as sharp as the S50, and the 2 extra megapixels make the image feel noiser than the clarity of the S50.

Avoid this camera; the...
