General Comments

I upgraded to this Canon PowerShot A 70 digital camera from a Powershot A40. I was never really impressed with the overall picture quality even set at it's best resolution. So after only two months, I have shipped it into Cannon repair and hopefully they can correct the "fuzzy" resolution problem.

    I know someone with an A-40 (not an old car!) and it is an excellent 2MP camera. The A-70 gets highly recomended - but occasionally it looks soft on its image. For the most, however, it produces very pleasing results (I also know someone with an A-70) hopefully it was something Canon can rectify.

    I have owned the A70 for nearly a year now (which kills me when I look at the prices they are at now). Anyway this camera is excellent for the price, weight and size. I use it twice a week every week for work, taking approx. 20 to 30 pictures a week. The quality is good enough to produce pictures of advert items (printed on the Canon 330 printer - a bit expensive but quick and easy and done in a flash - so to speak) - also on the www. so for that side the quality is not so important but needs to be good. I have always been a Nikon man until I borrowed an A70 - went straight out and bought it! Lovely little camera...
