Exellent Point & Shoot Camera!
I have had my own SD870IS camera for about 10 months, and it has retained it's reliability and speed. When I was in the market, I was looking for some features that I wanted in a compact Point & Shoot. Here are those features, and this camera has them:

-Better than average video quality

-fast speed between pressing the shutter button and shooting the photo.

-Very short "Power-up & Ready" time

-Widescreen Shooting Capability

-Big clear LCD display

-Few buttons

-Good Look and Feel

-Solid Biuld

-Long Battery Life

-Support for High Capacity SD cards

-Exellent Macro Capability

I will briefly talk about each of these features.

I was quite surprised of the video quality that this camera produces.
It compresses the video little, hence the quality, using "Motion JPEG" compression. You will be pleased. You can also shoot video in Macro, which is quite impressive.

When you press the shutter button(after pressing half way for focus in some situations), you get a very quick response. This camera also has very short "power-up & ready" time.

I am pleased with the Widescreen shootng Capability this camera has. The wide photos look exellent. This is the shooting mode I use most.

The SD870IS has a vivid 3" LCD display. The brightness is adjustable ofcourse. Aside the display are the main buttons. The functions from top to bottom are: Playback(videos & stills), Direct Print and Multifuction button, directional and Multifunction wheel, camera menu, LCD display options.

I have been on so many occasions with this camera where I shot photos constantly. The battery always lets me exceed 200+ photos. I keep two batterys on me. I rarely have to get out the second battery. This Camera uses a very good proprietary Lithium Ion battery.

I'm thankful for the support for SDHC(Secure Digital High Capacity)that this camera provides. With the Multi Gigabytes worth of photos I shoot on each occassion, my 4 Gigabyte SDHC card always suits me.

I am very pleased with the close-ups I shoot with this camera. I shoot close-ups very often. And about 90% of those photos turn out extremely good.

I hope this review helps you. I am very pleased with the Canon SD870IS compact Point & Shoot.

Canon PowerShot SD87OIS
I love this camera! It is so easy to use and so small it fits in a pocket. My previous digital camera was too complicated. This manual is very user friendly (for someone who is a beginner) and if you want to do more advanced stuff, the manual explains step by step. This is a great camera with a fabulous price. The pictures are perfect.

i am really happy with that machine
i have been using this machine for a month and it is absolutely perfect. very quick and it shots so nice. it is easy to use. before that one i was using sony cyber shot, but canon is absolutely better than Sony. i have taken so many good photos, i hope i will take more and more... if you want to see one of them just contact with me :)
one minor thing, it came to me without a safe bag... i wish the package contains a safe bag too.
