Some components seem fragile

White balance is sometimes unpredictable

Anyone looking for a good point-and-forget digicam should put the Canon Powershot SD1000 Digital ELPH high on the list. It’s not the fastest camera in the world, but it works quickly enough, even with the flash blazing away. Photo quality is of the...

Design a little boxy The Final Word Another great compact camera from Canon, the IXUS 70 excels with a tiny design and good quality pictures, making it ideal as an all purpose happy snap camera.

Abstract: Next to image stabilisation, Face Detect is the best thing in digital cameras. Its a feature included in the Ixus 70, thankfully; Canon is a master of the technology. Face Detect means the camera can automatically find peoples fa...
Petit et élégant, Interface intuitive, Très réactif, Écran LCD de qualité, Bon mode macro
Certains éléments semblent fragiles, Bruit électronique dès 200 ISO, Balance des blancs parfois capricieuse, Pas d'histogramme d'exposition à la prise de vue
L'Ixus 70 est un avant tout un bel objet qui peine toutefois à se différencier de la concurrence, comme les Panasonic FX30 ou Canon Ixus 850 IS, avec ses caractéristiques techniques (pas de grand angle, pas de stabilisation)....
