Pros: 6 megapixels, fast, stylish, ultra compact, user friendly, 2.5" LCD screen, and Image Stabilization
Cons: Mediocre battery life, chromatic aberration, and noisy ISO 800 images

Canon has dominated the microcam market since the first ultra compact digicams hit camera stores. That's because the digital ELPH nameplate is synonymous with compact size, high style, impressive performance and leading edge technology. The newest ...

Pros: Compact and stylish, large LCD, image stabilization, 4x zoom, resolution
Cons: Price, images could be sharper, noisy ISO 400-800, slow flash recycle, red-eye

I bought the Canon SD700 IS expecting good picture quality, especially indoors. Unfortunately I am disappointed. I have always liked Canon Digital Elph cameras. I liked the 5 -Megapixel SD450 and the ...

Pros: Image Stabilization, 4x optical zoom, solid build, features
Cons: Short Battery Life, Bulkier than other digicams in class, redeye issues, Price

I've only had a few days to play with this camera so far but it has been impressive. I swapped my S3 with a friend for a few weeks since he wanted a compact camera with long zoom capabilities and he recently bought the SD700 through one of those insane ...

Pros: size, price, image stabilization, nice LCD, excellent movie mode, easy navigation
Cons: little larger than previous Elphs, red-eye, flash

Last year I purchased the SD700IS after having been a huge fan of the SD400 (see review at h ttp://www.epinions.com/content _213019233924). I didn’t necessarily need the extra megapixels, but was wanted to try a camera ...

Pros: Fast focus, crisp photos, good quality video, decent low light
Cons: Price? slightly difficult menu system to get used to

Summary: The SD700 IS was a replacement for my Minolta Dimage XT. It's difficult to compare the two, because the Minolta was only a 3 Megapixel camera. That aside, I'll focus on the SD700 IS. A week before a cruise I was going on I decided I wanted to ...

Pros: Durable, small, good colors, fast focusing
Cons: Body scratches easy, screen get dirty, bad photos in low light

When I think of Canon SD700is, I think of 15 countries, more than 40 cities,and more than 16,000 shots. I also think of rains, fog, freezing cold and steamy hot weather. And in all these conditions, SD700 performed amazing. SD700is was trully my travel ...

Pros: Small size, great battery life without LCD on, image stabilisation
Cons: Mode wheel is hard to use, ISO800 and Auto ISO Hi aren't really useful

I've wanted this model since I heard it would be out, and now I've got it. The Ixus 800IS is currently the top of the line for the Ixus family, with the other two Ixus models being promoted by Canon being the Ixus60 and Ixus65. I bought the Ixus60 3 ...

Pros: Quality, ergonomics, settings, image stabilization, zoom, resolution, fast
Cons: Price, high ISO noise, battery life with IS and LCD

[LCD and Viewing] The SD700 comes with a 2.5" LCD. The resolution is better than previous models and it looks nice. However, it appears to scratch easily (the LCD is recessed 1mm or 2) and appears to be similar in LCD build to my coolpix 5900. ...

Pros: Optical viewfinder - Image Stabilizer - Features - Size
Cons: wimpy flash -- zoom too fast

My goal was to get a pocket sized camera, with excellent optics, and as close to SLR as possible in its features. With the feature set that the SD700IS has, it meets all of those requirements. Add in the Image Stabilizer, and it exceeds my ...

Pros: Durable, good pictures, many settings but still simple
Cons: Battery life low, expensive (very)

Upon first taking my SD700 camera out of the box, I was surprised. First, for a small camera, it took CF-2 (Compact Flash), which is really big for a camera like this. I paid $650 CDN for the camera, but it was worth it. Quality? The ...

Pros: Small size, great picture quality, Image stabilization, easy to use
Cons: video could be sharper but I don't know if this is possible

I bought my SD700 IS for use at my daughters wedding. I wanted good quality pictures, flexibility, image stabilization and small size. I used the camera for about a week before the big event and even with limited time on with the camera my pictures ...

Pros: Excellent, crisp clear pictures, Size
Cons: Pricey

I have had my Canon SD700 for a little over a year now and I absolutely love it. There are so many amazing features on it that I don't even know where to start. My favorite by far is the image stabilizer. I was very hesitant to get a digital camera ...

Pros: Superior imaging, good speed, beautiful solid styling, complete feature set for compact.
Cons: Could use somekind of ISO prioritization in auto mode. View finder is in the center.

Very nice styling on the body of this camera. Looks and feels like quality workmanship from the moment you open the box. I bought the camera for my wife because she is a point-and-shoot kinda gal. She loves the camera and finds the features and menu easy ...

Pros: Dependable quality, small size, great colors, image stabilization,640x480 movies, large LCD screen, editing software.
Cons: No battery meter.Images are noisy in low light. LCD screen wear.Movie length limited.

This camera replaced my first digital camera (some bulky 3mp Toshiba PDR with 1" display). It gave me a great sense of freedom to make a shot anytime anywhere, since it's small size allowed to always keep it with me, and fast shutter speed allowed to ...

Pros: style and ease of use, features, compact
Cons: red-eye(can be fix trough software), price

I always check online regarding Canon digital cameras review, and so , this camera is the one that attracts my attention best. It does look bigger than SD600 but its still got better feature, take note image stabilization, plus its tricolor design really ...

Pros: Compact with 4x zoom, IS, great picture quality
Cons: None

I bought this camera back in April from Amazon for $300. You may be able to buy it less now. I would like to focus my review on how and why I came to select SD700IS and what other cameras I reviewed rather than spending time explaining its ...

Pros: 'NO MORE RED-EYE' Image-Stabilizer and Real-Image Optical Viewfinder.
Cons: Pricey compared to other cameras, I paid $499, to heavy to put in shirt pocket.

Exquisitely styled with unique 'Curvature and Stream' design, the camera incorporates a host of cutting-edge features, Image-Stabilizer, Real-Image Optical Viewfinder, Excellent picture quality with very good indoor pictures, and 'NO MORE RED-EYE' were the most important features to me.

Pros: Image Quality, Compact Design, Large LCD display,
Cons: No Battery Meter....that's my only complaint.

I recently purchased the SD700 after my previous camera broke. I had a Sony P3 3.1 megapixel camera that we bought 4 years ago because it was compact and I liked the Sony brand. I have to admit that I am glad it broke. I have a wife and two young children ages 4 and 1. One of the best features on the Canon is a setting for Kids & Pets. We no longer miss those "picture moments". You know if you have kids that when they are doing something you have a short window of time to get the picture. Well not only will you be able to get the picture but it will not come out blurry 95% of the time.

In doing my research for this camera I spoke with two friends that are graphic artists. They both recommended I get a Canon camera. I also talked to other family and friends and the two that didn't have a Canon hate their camera. All the others own a Canon and they ALL love them.

So if you don't get this camera I suggest getting one of the many Canons out there.

Pros: Superb image stabilization and picture quality
Cons: Pricey

Canon is known for their get cameras but the SD700IS is a mile ahead. The picture quality was beautiful. I had a couple cameras in the past with image stabilization, but they were not close to the SD700IS. The shape of the camera was really good; it was a little bulky but the smooth curves make it look slim and comfortable to hold. The only bad thing about this camera it was pricey BUT DEFINITELY WORTH IT.

Pros: Stabilization, clear clear pictures, wonderful features and picture styles. small and sleek.
Cons: On the pricey side, I got a better deal on line.

After months of research, I finally picked the canon. The stabilization feature is great and works beautifully. You can buy an underwater camera housing for it.It is small enough that I can put it easily in my small purse. It is a wonderful camera and will not disappoint. As a side note I found a great slim case to carry it around at best buy for $1.99. It is very attractive and doesn't look like a camera case, more like a cell phone.

Pros: Nice picture quality from compact camera. Long battery
Cons: Len's edge burr in wide angle Not really wide angle lens

This is my travel camera and I use it more than my 20D. Nice construction, very compact. I can put it in my packet easily.

Pros: Image stabilization, sturdy construction, excellent photos, pocket sized, good battery capacity, optical viewfinder.
Cons: Only 6 MP (wanted 8), weak flash, only 35 mm wide angle, no shutter priority

I chose this model because I have always been happy with my Canon cameras and the on-line reviews rated it as excellent but pricey, then waited 3 months for the price to come down closer to about $300. After shooting 600 photos in all modes and conditions, this camera has exceeded my expectations. After trying out other cameras (including digital SLRs)at retail stores, it became clear that while this is not the perfect camera, it is the best overall camera for photo quality, size, and sturdy construction.
