Excellent

8.1

View score

The good: 28mm wide-angle lens; fast DIGIC 4 imaging chip; large 3-inch LCD.

The bad: Lacks optical viewfinder; power button difficult to press.

The bottom line: 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.
