Canon Powershot S70 Review

By Dan Wu

Steve's Digicams reviews the PowerShot S70, the latest 7.1 megapixel camera from Canon, which features a 3.6x optical zoom (28-100mm), along with Canon's proprietary Ultra High Refractive Index Aspherical (UA
Lens) technology which produces better sharpness and clarity. The S70 might not be as sexy as their
ELPH series (known as the IXUS in Europe and Asia), but it offers more manual controls for the more serious amateur photographer. The S70 also includes VGA video capture ability, continuous photo-taking at 2 frames per second, ISO settings up to ISO 400, and it accepts Compact Flash,
which we like since CF is under $1/MB now. Street price should be just under $600.
