  Canon IXUS 860 IS
  By WDC Team
  
  Review summary: The 8.3-megapixel Canon IXUS 850 IS benefits from a 3in LCD PureColour screen, but loses the viewfinder of the 850 IS.
  
  Pros: Design/build, consistent exposures and WB, LCD screen
  
  Cons: RRP, slight image softness in corners
  
  Verdict: A great compact that produces excellent images on a truly breathtaking LCD screen.

  Powershot SD870 IS
  By Tracey Capen
  
  Review summary: Wide is the operative word for the $350 Canon PowerShot SD870 IS Digital Elph--not for the camera's overall size, but for its alluringly large 3-inch LCD and for its wide-angle zoom, which starts at 28mm (35mm equivalent), a focal length to warm the ...
  
  Pros: Extra-wide zoom lens Big LCD (3 inches)
  
  Cons: Not as well constructed as other Elphs Animated on-screen button is distracting
  
  Verdict: It's pricey, but the extra-wide-angle lens, the big LCD, and the well-thought-out exposure control system make this an attractive compact camera

  Canon SD870 IS
  By Joe Eitel
  
  Review summary: I have been a big fan of Canon's SD line of cameras for the past couple of years. In this review, I will take a look at the 8.3 mega-pixel Canon Powershot SD870 IS (IXUS 860 IS in Europe), which is the follow-up to the largely successful Canon ...
  
  Verdict: The price of the SD870 is relatively competitive at $399 MSRP. At this price, I think the SD870 should do pretty well in terms of sales. Those people on a somewhat tighter budget can pick up the SD800 IS for under $300. As I already have mentioned, ...
