      Canon PowerShot A70

      By Jeff Keller

      Review summary: In my opinion, one of the most exciting cameras introduced at PMA wasn't a digital SLR or loaded with pixels. Rather, it's a camera for the rest of the world, the folks who are really moving the digital camera market forward.

      Pros: Very good photo quality ; Robust performance ; Has an AF illuminator lamp ; Lots of manual controls for a cheap camera (in other words, it's a great value) ; Impressive movie, playback modes ; Great software package

      Cons: Redeye ; Details in images a little too soft ; purple fringing occasionally a problem ; No diopter correction knob ; No histogram in record or playback mode ; Bundle could be better (aside from software)

      Verdict: The A70's bundle is saved from mediocrity by an excellent software package. But more on that later

      Review summary: The three megapixel PowerShot A70 and two megapixel PowerShot A60 were introduced this year just in time for the Photo Marketing Association (PMA 2003) trade show in Las Vegas. The PowerShot 'A-series' are Canon's entry-level digital cameras, the A60 ...

      Pros: Good resolution, about as much as we could expect from a three megapixel, Good consistent metering, Low image noise at ISO 50 and 100 (ISO sensitivity higher than indicated), Good color response, better overall balance than most, especially blues and ...

      Cons: No histogram in record review or play mode, Auto white balance should be better, Underexposed flash shots, Annoying mirror surrounding LCD monitor, Slight chromatic aberrations visible, No image parameter adjustment, No orientation sensor (seen on ...

      Verdict: Anyone who has followed Canon's line of PowerShot digital cameras can't help but see the similarities between the A70 and the PowerShot G1 (the original 'G').
