As DP Review pointed out in there review the Canon Power Shot series began as an entry-level camera, however the series has advanced over the years. The Canon PowerShot A570 IS received the highly valued “Highly Recommended” review from DP Review. The review states:

“The Canon A570 IS you get a nicely designed, responsive camera with more than enough features to keep most users – especially those wanting a little more manual control than is normal at this price point – happy. If you don’t mind it not being the fastest ‘social’ snapshot camera in the world (the flash recycling puts paid to that), this is a perfect camera for anyone wanting real photographic control without paying through the nose. Its well balanced combination of image quality, functionality and handling (and not to forget value for money) means the A570 IS just about deserves our highest award.”

The Canon SD870 IS known in Europe as the IXUS 860 IS and the IXY Digital 910IS in Japan, is the latest camera in the line by Canon.

DP Review recently had a chance to review the camera and concluded:

“Like other cameras in this range what makes the SD870 IS so appealing – aside from the high quality design and construction – is the ‘point and shoot’ reliability, which produces good, sharp, well exposed results in a wide range of shooting conditions, something you simply can’t say about a lot of competitors. We were also very impressed with the lens; a wide lens usually results in a compromise between the really useful ability to ‘zoom out’ and a degree of chromatic aberration and corner softness that can dent image quality. Our tests and experiences of real-world shooting show very little evidence of these expected shortcomings, helping the 870 IS stand out from competing wideangle ultra compact cameras.”
