Tags: Canon, Canon PowerShot S70, optical viewfinder, LCD screen, white balance
We like:
Relatively wide-angle lens; strong raw-shooting speed for a non-dSLR; above-average image quality
We don't like:
Poor battery life; noisy lens
You might also need:
High-capacity CompactFlash card
CNET UK judgement:
Though it fails to garner the same across-the-board high marks as its predecessors, the Canon PowerShot S70 nevertheless acquits itself very well as an enthusiast's compact. A 7-megapixel camera with a 3.6x zoom lens, the S70's first-rate photos and flexible feature set appeal now as much as they ever did. Only poor battery life and average performance hold it back from attaining better grades
