Canon PowerShot S70 Digital Camera

Barely a few months after announcing its 5-megapixel PowerShot S60, Canon tosses its hat into the 7-megapixel ring with two models: the compact PowerShot S70 and its enthusiast-oriented sibling, the PowerShot G6.

I reviewed the Sony Cyber-Shot DSC-P150 about a week ago... now I actually bought the Canon Powershot S70 for a nice low $420!

I was very interested in reviewing the new PowerShot S70 when I heard of its release. As the owner of an S50, I evaluated the newer S60 when it came out and came to the conclusion that the new wide-angle lens was a tremendous advantage, but that picture quality remained identical to that of the...
