Review

Well where to begin? This camera is everything a first time, or even an intermediate, Digital Camera owner could ask for? Well if I were to be critical I would suggest a camera case and a larger memory card as the one that it comes with is really too small to do much with other than just experiment with at home when you first get it.

So what the hell is this 3.2 Mega Pixels?

3.2 Mega pixels is the resolution quality of the camera, this in itself means very little to someone who hasn’t spent their life in front of computer monitors and if you have then you almost certainly already have a fairly good idea of what this means. For the rest of us, it is an indication of the picture quality, the higher the number of mega pixels, the better the quality of the picture. To give you an rough idea:
A typical photo taken with an optical camera and printed on photographic paper is roughly equivalent to 3 mega pixels. Having said this, pictures aren’t visually grainy until the picture quality is reduced to about .5 mega pixels for the same print size. Also bare in mind that inevitably the larger the print size, the more pixels that are required to make it a good quality.

The camera (when in standard mode) shoots in 3 main sizes:

2048 x 1536 – This takes up the most space in the memory
1600 x 1200 – A medium quality and prints to roughly the size of a standard photograph. (From one of those OLD camera thingies that use film ;-) )
1024 x 768 – This prints smaller than a standard photo, but is sometimes found on websites if the creator doesn’t mind making loading times fairly long for small bandwidth users.
640 x 480 – This is the smallest file size and is what is usually found on web sites (to help reduce loading times)

Shooting Modes

Auto – For the first time user all you have to do is set the Camera to auto and get snap happy, everything is done for you so all you have to do is point and click.

Portrait – For taking a photo of loved one or just a particular subject matter.

Landscape – If you are on holiday and want to take a picture of the beautiful surroundings this allows you to capture it for ever. It provides a slightly wider picture than you would get from a normal auto shot, allowing you to capture the rolling hills and fields of the English countryside or whatever you want to shoot.

Fast Shutter – This is for capturing a fast moving object when you don’t want it to blur, the shutter only opens briefly and so limits the amount of movement that it sees.

Slow Shutter – The shutter is open for longer letting in more light and allowing you to get more artistic shots, although for this mode to be put to good use I would really recommend a tripod.

Night Scene Mode – This is similar to Slow Shutter, the shutter is open for longer to let in more light so that even at night you can get a good picture, (again this is better with a tripod).

Stitch Assistant – Ever wanted a really good landscape picture? One of those ones that are insanely wide and can only be taken with insanely expensive cameras? Well this mode allows you to take 2 pictures and ‘stitch’ them together to form one long picture. This can be quite difficult to use at first as lining up the 2 shots is far from easy, try to use landmarks to help you get it right, but with this one in particular practice makes perfect.

Macro Mode – This is for if you want to take pictures of something small and still have a good resolution.

Movie Mode – This is a very useful feature with a 15 frame per second rate that is very respectable for a camera of this price, however bare in mind that if you want to take advantage of this mode then you should really get a bigger memory card, 256 MB if you can afford one as with anything smaller there isn’t really anything useful that can be done in the film time.

Other Features:

Self Timer – The camera has 2 self timer delays 10 second and 2 second. The 10 second delay is what I would recommend as frankly what is the point of delaying a photo for 2 seconds?

Digital Zoom – This is only usable when the TFT screen is on. It combines with the 3 x Optical zoom to allow the camera to zoom up to 10 x the standard size.

Continuous Shooting – this mode is similar to the movie mode, however only takes about 2 images a second which means that it isn’t smooth enough for a movie. It is designed for when photographing action scenes so that you can be guaranteed to get the exact moment you want. This feature is usually only found on incredibly expensive professional cameras and I was really impressed to find it on this camera.

All in all this is an excellent camera and has more than everything you could ask for if you aren’t a professional photographer. All the settings are fully adjustable including the shutter speed and a manual focus. Equally if you just want to point and snap and get a decent image at the end of it then it can do that too.

The package that I got with the camera included all the software and the cable to plug it into my computer via USB and some Video Cables so I could wire it straight into my TV and record onto tape. I would recommend that if you get this you try and splash out on a bigger memory card and a case to protect it from wear and tear.

I have not included a price in this review as I purchased my camera several months ago and so I feel that the price I paid ( about £220) is not neccessarily what you would expect to pay now. Having looked around on the internet I have seen it for as little as £155

Review of Canon PowerShot A70 by Pentium

Advantages: Easy to use, excellent photographs.
Disadvantages: No protective case.

...search I plumped for the Canon Powershot A70. Basically this is a 3.2 megapixel quality camera with 3 x optical zoom with a further 3.2 x digital zoom to enhance your pictures by 9.6 x their original state. I will try to explain what all the technical jargon means. A pixel is a single point on a PC monitor, picture or to simplify things a little a TV screen. All these dots are then joined together to produce your photograph or image as with a TV ...
...image you can produce without losing clarity. In the form of a 3.2 megapixel camera it can produce an image that is 2048 x 1536 giving you 3,145,728 pixels, giving you your 3.2 mega (or million) pixel image. I have explained this in basic terms, as I am not a photographer but understand the basics of pixel quality. The image captured is in jpeg or jpg mode that again is the standard for most web sites or image capturing software. The camera itself ... Read review

Review of Canon PowerShot A70 by liz1102

Advantages: Lasted a long time, good presets, 3.2mega pixels (plenty for casual use)
Disadvantages: Large in comparison to newer models, develops a fault after a few years, quite slow

This little beauty (the Canon PowerShot A70) has been to hell and back with me. Well not quite 'hell', but Italy, France, and several states in the US, and has barely a mark to show for it. Yesterday its successor arrived, so I'm writing this review as its obituary! (And I'll get on to why it needed a successor in due course.)

...worth the £200 or so it cost new. At 3.2 Mega pixels, this seems pathetic by today's standards, and there are phone cameras that can rival it, but 3.2 mega pixels have served as plenty for a casual photographer, while still producing pictures of a very professional quality. If you all you are going to do is view photos on your computer, and print out the occasional one, do you really need photos that take up 3 or 4 megabytes by themselves, because ... Read review

Wow What A Picture Take A Look!!!
Review of Canon PowerShot A70 by bazzaoleary77

Advantages: Long Lasting Top Quality
Disadvantages: None

...our final decision was the Canon A70 3.2 Mega Pixel camera as it was a great design with good specifications and was within our price range at £89.00. We hastily got home and opened our new camera up to give it a try being the first digital camera we were very impressed especially with the 1.5" LCD digital display so you can see what your about to take a picture of. We received a 16mb memory card with the camera along with a nice case, carry strap, ...

A Good Basic Digital Camera
Review of Canon PowerShot A70 by Sparklemouse

Advantages: Good functions that you might find on a basic SLR
Disadvantages: Uses four batteries, LCD screen is easily scratched

Appearance: The Canon Powershot A70 has a silver & grey brushed metal-effect plastic body. Most buttons & dials are set well into the body & so avoid most knocks & snags. The lens is retracted when powered down. The battery and memory card slots are well designed & are not likely to break easily (but not indestructible!). There is a digital A/V out & DC in section, which has a rubber cover. A DC power supply plug is not included. This cover fits ...
...with constant use it might begin to wear. The LCD screen is approx. 2.25 x 3cm & is flush to the back of the camera. The camera is designed to fit comfortably in the right hand. I'm not sure if this is a problem for left-handed people or not. On the bottom of the camera, there is a screw recess to accept a trip attachment. A wrist strap was supplied with my kit, but I really would have preferred a neck strap. Sadly these days, you never seem to get ... Read review

Canon A70 - in a class of its own
Review of Canon PowerShot A70 by roberthart

Advantages: Stylish, Great pictures, excellent value, loads of features
Disadvantages: zoom, flash range

...and finally decide on the Canon A70. Firstly i bought this from Amazon for £244.99 and it came with a free 64MB memory card. As of today (30th June) this offer was still on. It is extremely important that you consider what YOU want when buying a digital camera, as a camera that is great for one person may not suit another. So why did i buy the A70 i hear you ask. Mainly because in this price range £230-£270, for a 3.2 Megapixel camera it is unrivalled ...
...recommend you go to the Canon website for full specifications http://www.powershot.com/powershot2/a70-60/index.html Upon first using the camera i found it very easy to use and navigate but did have to refer to the manual to learn the hoards of advanced features. Another thing i was concerned about when purchasing a digital camera was battery life. I'd previously used my parents Sony DSC P50 which is a nice camera but the battery life was terrible. ...

SAMSUNG NV24HD
Review of Samsung NV24 HD by  Bibi-Colos

Advantages: Compact and excellent photos and videos
Disadvantages: Mute during filming of an action on the zoom + zoom too sensitive

...Main features of the digital camera SAMSUNG NV24HD (New Vision 24 High Definition): -- very compact and flat -- Ultra-wide angle 24mm: brilliant! -- Very good sensitivity and super video quality photos (nickel up to 400 ISO included) -- Stabilizer images (photos & videos) -- HD video sophisticated (H.264) with stereo sound! -- Screen AMOLED (Active Matrix Organic Light Emitting Diode) very accurate, very colorful, true in the colors and with a very wide angle of vision: fabulous, unique and unrivalled at the moment! -- Protective glass screen in polycarbonate hardened and anti-reflection (nothing to do with my old Canon PowerShot A70!) -- "Selection matrix" parameters (for me, much better than the "rose" traditional) -- Function "ACB" (dynamic control and automatic contrast… as the FX500) -- Shooting burst (as...

The best compromise I could find
Review of Canon PowerShot A75 by  Ramin

Advantages: Good serious learner's camera that can also be used for easy snaps
Disadvantages: Not quite pocket-sized

...-- In summary: The A75 is an incremental upgrade of the popular Canon PowerShot A70. It is one of a few small cameras that provides proper manual control of the settings as well as having a fully automatic mode. A good range of optional accessories make it a safe long-term choice. A few features common in Canon cameras, like customisable sound themes, are a bit of gimmick but don't detract from the value. The video is adequate for clips of slow-moving scenes. -- Background on me the reviewer, so you know my tastes and prejudices: I've had this camera a few days, taken over 200 pictures covering day, night, dusk, bright sun, cloud, indoors and outdoors. I'm a complete amateur, but my past experience is with three very different 35mm film cameras we have had in the family: a Yashica Minitec point-and-shoot, a Pentax Optio 115... Read review

Manufacturer's product description

The Canon PowerShot A70 gives you all the benefits of digital photography in an easy to use package. You can shoot, review, and then share your photos far more quickly and conveniently than was ever possible with analog. The PowerShot A70 has a 3.2-million pixel sensor which lets you print with total clarity in sizes up to A4. Its zoom lens can bring objects approximately 10x closer (with combined optical and digital zoom). Canon's DIGIC processor works ultra fast to process all the camera's electronic functions simultaneously, from Auto White Balance to Autofocus. It also lets you shoot at a fast 2.5 frames per second, but because it works so quickly, the processor uses less power, so the battery lasts longer. With Canon's AiAF five point auto focus system, any subject in the foreground of the scene is accurately focused even if it is not in the center of the frame. If you want to focus on something further away, you can also override this feature. Canon's direct print function allows you to plug the camera straight into the printer, so you can print without a computer. You can also plug the PowerShot A70 straight into your TV, or import the pictures into your computer and send them via e-mail. The Canon PowerShot A70 is the ideal camera for capturing family activities or for people wishing to explore the possibilities of Digital Photography. The camera allows any enthusiastic beginner to record and share their experiences with loved ones, spontaneously and economically.
