Digital Mini Wonder. Review on Canon PowerShot A70

Definitely worth admiring. Small in size yet huge in features. The usual features include:

1. Good image quality even in 1 megapixel mode. Max capacity 3.2 megapixels.

   
   




2. Comes with a 16MB CompactFlash (CF) card.

   
   




3. A 3x optical zoom.

   
   




4. Runs on affordable pen-torch batteries.

   
   




5. Movie recording.

   
   




6. Auto-shutter-release with selectable two-second and ten-second delay

   
   

And now coming to the super-duper features that could bowl you out:

1. Stitch-Assist mode of shooting, which lets you shoot multiple snaps and merge them into a single, long photograph using a software that ships with this camera.

   
   




2. Shutter speed adjustment lets you peek into the world of real photography. Dim light situations, for example, require a quicker shutter snap. All you do is a turn of the knob, no complicated menu-traversals like in most hi-brand cameras.

   
   




3. Continuous shooting mode that lets you freeze fast-moving objects (projectiles, speedboats, jetplanes, etc).

   
   

BREAKING NEWS

HEY FOLKS, I JUST WANTED TO ADD A POINT OF DELIGHT WITH THE CANON POWERSHOT A70. RECENTLY THE CCD (CHARGE COUPLED DEVICE) OF MY CAMERA WENT PHUT, SO I COULD NOT SHOOT NEW IMAGES. PREVIOUSLY STORED IMAGES HOWEVER, COULD BE VIEWED WITHOUT PROBLEMS. I GOT THE NUMBER OF A LOCAL CANON SERVICE CENTRE FROM THE WEBSITE, AND CALLED THEM FOR HELP. I WAS DELIGHTED TO HEAR THAT THE REPAIR (USUALLY REQUIRING Rs.5,000 TO SET RIGHT) WOULD NOT COST ME A SINGLE PIE, BECAUSE CANON ACCEPTS THIS FAULT AS A MANUFACTURING DEFECT. THEY AGREED TO REPLACE THE CCD FREE OF COST. ISN'T THIS WONDERFUL FOLKS? THIS IS FOR YOUR KIND INFORMATION & ANALYSIS.
