Canon PowerShot SD870IS 8MP Digital Camera with 3.8x Wide Angle Optical Image Stabilized Zoom (Silver)

so far so good. I did a lot of research before I bought this camera and so far I'm pleased. I really like the wide angle lens, large LCD screen,rechargable lithium ion battery and the color swap option. My only complaint is that the image on the screen looks grainy but the pictures are clear

I bought this camera back in April this year through Amazon. I didn't use it until the past week. Then I found out that the Date/Time setting doesn't work. It's not a major problem, but it can be very annoying that whenever I turned on the camera, the Date/Time setting popped up. I called Canon, I had to pay to ship in the camera to have it (a new camera) fix.

Great little camera. Quality of pictures is excellent and the wide-angle lens is fantastic. While the camera does not have an optical view finder, I have never felt the need for it. The LCD screen is large and works great even in the brightest of daylight. Only caveat is that for taking pictures of kids, faster picture-to-picture speed would be nice. However, I suspect that to obtain more speed while maintaining quality, one would need a SLR camera. Would definitely buy this camera again.

I bought this camera to replace an old Canon SD250 that was "lost". Great choice. It fits in a pocket, has a gorgeous LCD screen, starts quickly, and has a decent array of features. The image stabilization and facial detection work very well. So far, the battery has been able to last on a weekend trip taking almost 300 shots, but that will decrease. For me, the form factor makes the specialty batteries worth it.
