Canon Digital IXUS 870 IS Specifications
By Alexandra Savvides on 23 October 2008
Though the 870 IS isn't perfect, with its noise issues and minor design faults, it still remains an excellent compact camera. A sharp lens, fast image processing times and fantastic picture quality make the IXUS an ideal combination of style and substance.
