Canon PowerShot S70 Digital Camera
 

Product Description

 
Barely a few months after announcing its 5-megapixel PowerShot S60, Canon tosses its hat into the 7-megapixel ring with two models: the compact PowerShot S70 and its enthusiast-oriented sibling, the PowerShot G6. The S70 has the same design as the S60, albeit in the black finish that consumers seem to associate with power.

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...
