Canon Powershot SD870 IS Review - DigitalCameraReview
A review of the Canon Powershot SD870 IS digital camera has been posted over at DigitalCameraReview. 'The SD870 is equipped with a 3 inch amorphous silicon TFT 230,000 pixel screen. Without an optical viewfinder, it is essential that the LCD screen provides a clear and accurate representation of the shot. It is becoming increasing popular with P&S designs to “ixnay” the viewfinder in exchange for a larger LCD screen. For example, my own PowerShot SD850 IS is equipped with both an optical viewfinder and a 2.5 inch LCD screen, but I rarely use the viewfinder because it is so small and I can hardly compose a shot through such a small field of view. The 3 inch LCD makes a huge difference and I do not miss the viewfinder on this size and type of camera.'
