  Review : Canon Ixus 860IS
  By paul_smart
  
  Review summary: This is the latest in the excellent Ixus digital camera range, in August 2006 the Ixus 700 won the rarely awarded 5x5 award. Does this latest offering live up to this rarely awarded accolade.
  
  Verdict: For those wanting to progress there are no less than 17 shooting modes to help you get the correct effects. My colours also helps as this can be applied either before or after shooting

  Canon Powershot SD870 IS Review
  By Cybernium
  
  Review summary: The Canon Powershot SD870 IS is one of those rare ultra-compact cameras with a wide-angle lens, actually Canon only makes one other camera with a wide-angle lens, the ultra-compact . Some aspects of the SD870's performance are quite good.
  
  Pros: Nicely saturated colors, Generally quite accurate white-balance, Reliable metering system, Low purple fringing, Good image sharpness away from corners, Wide-angle lens in ultra-compact body, Solid construction, Much faster than the average ultra-compact,
  
  Cons: Noticeable vingetting, Destructive noise above ISO 400 in good light, above 200 in low-light, Nearly useless ISO 1600, Moderate corner softness, Slight color-cost under artificial lighting, Dynamic range a little below average, Some barrel distortion, No

  REVIEW: Canon IXUS 860IS digital camera
  By Stuart Miles
  
  Pros: Great build, image quality as lower ISOs, responsive, easy to use, good metering and colour, nice lens focal range
  
  Cons: Reduced detail due to noise reduction processing, Intrusive noise at higher ISOs, white balance issues in mixed lighting, screen marks easily
  
  Verdict: While it looks very nice, the entry price is higher than that of its predecessor and, mysteriously, there are a few things missing from the new model
