Canon PowerShot S70

Canon - PowerShot G6 and PowerShot S70; Casio - Exilim EX-P700; Olympus - C-70 Zoom; Pentax - Optio 750Z; Samsung - V70; Sony - Cybershot V3 and P150. Cybershot V3 and PowerShot G6, obviously, by a class higher than other, but mainly structurally, not functionally:

they larger, equipped by more high-quality lens. The declared permissions differentiate (from 7,0 to 7,2 Mpix) insignificantly, but all of them have identical diagonal of matrix and probably producer.

On the set of functions the transferred cameras are also approximately equal; all have the modes of priority of diaphragm or self-control, fully hand mode. In detail at first, it practically in everything repeats a previous model S50 (and 6Mpix is represented yet by S60). However, there is nothing supernatural: I remind, Canon systematic blocked all niches, and above S70 cost more advanced G6 and 8Mpix Pro1.

It is simpler to say, what, to my personal regret, S70 does not have and that it is fully added even in spite of possibility to acquire a great deal in more dear model G6.

Above all things, to the camera counted on the wide circle of users, did not prevent the universal feed, for example, by batteries or accumulators as AA (how in the models of PowerShot A family - to what such division?); it was possible to foresee the compatibility with the widespread formats of lithium’s batteries (2CR5 and etc.).

Personally to me in S70 there strongly was no enough turning display. By a mind I understand that it is needed simply to pay in addition after G6 or Pro1, but for six hundred dollars with superfluous it would look attractive bonus, and such bonus is, for example, in Pentax Optio 750Z and Samsung V70. 7,1Mpix matrix of PowerShot S70, as well as G6, and all competitive compact cameras with such feature, has the diagonal of a 1/1,8 inch. This mark is frighteningly old (8Mpix gadgets even passed on a 2/3 inch), because the size of pels does not grow (for comparison, the matrix of that size is set in the two-year remoteness model of Canon G3).

Weighty argument is in a benefit S70 is application of the most widespread memory cards the CompactFlash. In Keln producers of cameras which use other standards, in private conversations underlined that now flesh-memory of any type will satisfy any user, however on the stands of companies producing flesh-memory, one look there were enough, to understand, after whom indeed records speeds and volumes. I will remind, that Sony, laying the lots of facilities on advancement of MemoryStick, in senior cameras added a CF-slot.
