Summary: Value-packed
Review: I am an amateur photographer (vacations, get-togethers, etc.) and I have owned a Canon A-10 for several years and it met all of my needs valiantly. I received the A-70 as a gift (which I researched) and have been playing with it for a few months now, before writing this review. All I can say is: WOW! You'd be hard pressed to find such a a great camera packed with so many features at such a great price.What I like the most:
-Canon reliability and superior lens
-small size (smaller! than the A10)...really fits in my pocket
-no lens cover to worry about
-super-sharp pictures (both for web-publishing and up to 8X10 prints...SUPER!)
-fun movie function let's me take all the video that my friends could bear to watch (I've only reached up to 3 minutes so far)
-VIVID color
-the numerous manual feature options, which are allowing me to learn more about photography and experiment at my own pace What I found useless in this package:
-while it's nice that it runs on AAA's, there's no use packaging with regular batteries (only useful in a pinch...you need NiMH rechargeables!)
-the accompanying memory card is nigh-useless...I carry it on vacations in case I fill up, but really, if you want to have fun you need a minimum of 512MB for peace of mind and room to make lots of mistakes and throw in a few video clips BOTTOM-LINE: after months of research and endless reading, all roads led me to this camera and it is WELL WORTH IT! This will keep me busy for the next couple of years exploring and learning. In the meantime the AUTO options produce FANTASTIC pictures, and the video clips are great. QUALITY wrapped in a FUN, EASY and TRULY COMPACT package. ALSO, as a Mac-user, this camera is completely Mac-compatible and a snap to use...plug-and-play in OS X...my dog could download pictures it's so ridiculously easy.

Summary: Excellent Camera - Value for money.
Review: Excellent Camera - Value for money. Used during my Hawaii trip and was amazed by the output. Not too expensive, but provides most of the features you look for.
Bottomline, the quality of the pictures is clear enough for human eye. Not sure, how someone can convince me to buy something more clearer for double the cost.

Summary: No Complaints
Review: I've had this camera for about a week now, and I love it. So what that it didn't come with rechargeable batteries and a charger. I bought this separate myself using energizer rechargeable batteries and it cost less than the set offered by Canon. I've tried all the effects and settings on this camera and they all work great. It's also nice to be able to print directly to my printer and not having to plug the camera into my computer. I highly recommend this camera. It's the best for under $500. I got mine for $289. Need a camera without having to worry about film. Get this one.

Summary: My First Digital-Great Choice!
Review: I can sum the experience I've had with the A70 up in four words: I Love This Camera! I researched digital cameras for about a year, and learned a lot about them in the process. My reasons for buying this camera came down to a few: I wanted a camera that could go totally automatic for my "point & shoot" Wife, but that could go fancy for me. I wanted a camera that actually felt like a camera in my hand, vs. some of the "mini-digitals" that I've seen. I've taken over 200 photos so far and am still using the AA batteries that came with the camera. I rarely use the LCD display to frame the photo, using the viewfinder instead. I purchased a SanDisk 256mb Premium Quality card. It cost $10 more than the standard 256mb card and is well worth it. I've tried the direct connect USB cable to download images from the camera to my computer. It was quick, easy, and worked very well. Of course with some flash shots you get some red eye, but that's easily edited. For outside photos, this camera takes shots with colors so vibrant the images are almost three-dimensional. I really can't find anything with this camera that isn't perfect.Even the directions are clearly written and very easy to follow. What a buy! I'd recommend this camera to anyone who wants a quality product that is easy to operate and takes great photos.

Summary: Horrible quality and worse support!
Review: I bought this camera in June of 2003, and it is now October. Since June the camera has been in to the factory three separate occasions for warranty-covered issues that were all unrelated to one another. I got the camera back for the third time a week ago, and it has another problem. Now Canon wants me to pay to ship the camera in for a fourth time, and they promise me they can get it right this time. I'm glad that these people aren't brain surgeons! I talked to a supervisor and tried to get them to replace my camera instead of me having to send it in again. He told me that they don't do that, and that I just have to keep sending it in until it's okay. I'm worried that my year long warranty will run out before it is fixed. In the time from when I bought this camera until now I could have bought a different brand and taken thousands of pictures. To Canon's credit, the third time I sent it in they only had it for eight days. That was drastically different from the first time (twenty-four) and the second time (thirty-six). Maybe the fourth will be shorter? Maybe I'll get a new camera? I'm not holding my breath. Many people mention the E18 error (that was the first problem), dust on the interior lenses (the second and fourth problem), and the LCD flickering and the shutter/zoom button not working (problem #3). These seem to be issues with all A70s and not just mine. All technology is prone to failure, but the way the company handles such issues is what makes that problem okay. The good things about this camera include the fact that (for the cost) it is packed full of features. There is not another camera that I know of with a similar price that allows a full manual mode along with several different pre-set modes. Of course, you can go totally automatic, too. If this camera was not of a horrible quality and if the Canon company was run by intelligent, competent people then it would be great! Too bad the quality sucks and the support is hardly mediocre.

Summary: killer camera
Review: I haven't even begun to get into the finer details of this camera but just fooling around with the automatic setting is producing some outstanding pictures. I like the way it sits in my hand and it is easy to hold steady with just one hand. I cannot believe the clarity.
Worth every penny so far. I don't know how it will hold up, time will tell, but for now: THIS THING IS GREAT!!!!

Summary: AMAZING WHAT THIS CAN DO
Review: After owning the Canon A-70 for a relatively few short weeks, I am extremely happy with it. I have had other cameras in the past. Olympus 35mm, with wide angle and zoom telephoto lenses, small point and shoot, etc. This camera has them all beat, and comes in such a small size that it was and still is hard for me to appreciate just how complex it could be, if I choose to take advantage of all functions. Ten years ago, a camera with as much versatility, would have cost thousands of dollars. This is one heck of a buy and for $300.00 you really can't go wrong.
