Canon Digital ELPH SD870 IS Review

PhotographyBlog recently reviewed the Canon digital ELPH SD870 IS that features an 8MP sensor, 1/2.5” CCD, and a 4.6 – 17.3 mm focal length.

The little camera has an odd 3.8x optical zoom and a 4x digital zoom. The f/number range is f/2.8 – f/5.8 and the camera features face detection for nine people and 1-point center auto focus.

In the end, PhotographyBlog scores the camera a 4.5 out of 5 stars and says it’s the best model in the IXUS line, though they say the images are blurred at ISO400 and its best to avoid ISO 800 and 1600 altogether. They did bemoan the lack of a viewfinder though.
