canon powershot sd700 reviewA review of the Canon PowerShot SD700 IS digital camera, also known as the Canon Ixus 800, is available at imaging resource. The Canon PowerShot SD700 is an ultra compact digital camera with 6 megapixels resolution, a 4x optical zoom and a large 2.5 inch LCD display. It is also Canon’s first digital ELPH camera to feature Canon’s optical image stabilizer.

The review conclusion:
“Though it’s a pricey little camera, the 6-megapixel Canon PowerShot SD700 IS offers some great tools for improving your photos that go beyond megapixels. In particular, the camera might change how consumers think about taking low-light photos. […] In the case of the SD700 IS, images captured in low-light at ISO 800 made excellent 4×6’s and not-bad-at-all 8×10s. In regular lighting at lower ISOs, things improved further with the camera providing solid image quality, good color and accurate skin tones. […]
Despite some other small criticisms of the camera — no dedicated IS button, small and inaccurate optical viewfinder — if you want a superior compact camera that doesn’t put all its resources into megapixels, you will not go wrong with the SD700 IS, making it an ideal Dave’s Pick.”
