    Customers like the camera's picture quality. They mention it takes great pictures when in good hands, is easy to use, and great for moon and nature photos.

    Customers have mixed opinions about the camera's image quality. Some find it has great picture quality for its size and price, with minimal over-pixelation and photos not cropped in any way. Others say the pictures lack sharpness and autofocus is slow or difficult. They also mention poor pictures in dark areas and fuzzy photos from about 12 feet away.

    "...The low light pictures are terrible. Everything is blurry and that is taking a picture with no movement at all...." Read more

    Versatile Camera but M doesn't really mean Manual
    4 out of 5 stars
    Versatile Camera but M doesn't really mean Manual
    Update: After more than 3,000 photos, I am discovering some weaknesses. First, the wifi connection for downloading images to a pc is troublesome, and doesn't close nicely, requiring a reboot or going in to task manager on windows to stop the service before being able to reopen. It doesn't have a "minimize" feature, so that is a nonstandard app window. Also, connection to wifi is problematic, even with a good wifi system. I've had far superior performance with wifi sd cards. The software looks like it was never finished, and still should be labeled beta.Also, this camera does poorly in night sky photography. I have successfully used old digital bridge cameras for shooting starry nights, including some great milky way shots. The camera this replaced had a fully featured M (Manual) setting that allowed adjusting speed, aperture, and ISO. The Canon SX70 HS limits exposures longer than 1 second to an ISO of 100! Thus, as you can see, with the camera I bought this year, I got mediocre shots of the comet Neowise, even after processing from Raw and using numerous software programs to try to enhance the image. Why Canon does not allow an ISO of more than 100 in time exposures is beyond me! And, worse yet, they have not even responded to my emails about this matter. I feel cheated in this regard, as night photography is one thing I have enjoyed and now I'll have to come up with another solution! It would have been appropriate for this to be noted in the merchandising materials Canon puts out about this camera. I would have purchased another brand if I had known this.Other than these weaknesses I still find the camera suitable as noted in my original review, but I did drop one star from the review.ORIGINAL REVIEW CONTINUES BELOw:I have owned quite a few cameras over the years, including several 35mm film SLRs and am astounded in the increase in quality and features of modern digital cameras. This Canon is no exception.This camera is useful for birding, hiking, and wildlife photography since I try to pack light and prefer not carrying extra lenses. The advance in technology since my previous camera was made is significant, resulting in much sharper images with better characteristics in varying lighting situations. I have made just a little under a thousand photos since purchasing. The sample photos shown here are among the first 200 or so, while essentially just trying it out around in the yard. There are some differences from other major brands in accessing various settings, (and from my previous cameras) and it is taking a while to get used to that. Also, the Canon software for working with RAW files is different from what I've used in the past, but I like that it has the RAW format capability. I would recommend a tripod for long zoom shots except for bright sunny days, although in use the image stabilization seems to be pretty good when I brace with a high quality shoulder strap system. I also purchased a filter adapter and lens shade so I can provide a better level of lens protection, as well as the use of various filters. I already had 67mm filters that work with the adapter.I have only made one video with this camera, of a fundraising event, and I couldn't ask for better quality of the video and sound, which was a live musical performance under less-than-ideal lighting. Battery life is not outstanding, but is certainly reasonable. I purchased extra batteries, so that shouldn't be an issue for me.Another feature I find useful is the tilting screen--I made some crowd shots for an event where I was holding the camera above my head, and it was easy to compose the shot . By tilting the screen up, I can get the camera lower to the ground and compose shots looking up (see the daffodil shown). Without this feature, I would have only been able to guess at the composition.

      The short story: This is a point-and-shoot with a VERY long zoom. It won't give you image quality of a high-end DLSR with a crystal-clear 1200 mm zoom, but it's less expensive and much handier. Four stars because the optics and image quality aren't excellent, but they're pretty darned good.

      ------------

      This camera replaces a Canon Powershot SX60HS bought 11 years ago. I'm not a even a semi-pro photographer, I am just a snapshotter; that said, I love this camera. It will NOT take images of the quality one would get with a high-end DLSR and a pro-quality zoom, but I can carry it in one hand while hiking and bring it up fast to catch a bird on a tree limb before it flies, or a lizard pausing momentarily under a bush. The big zoom brings distant subjects close, and with "pretty-good" resolution. In fact, the SX70 gives much better image quality than my old SX60. The peephole viewfinder on the SX60 never worked well for me, so I always had to use the LCD screen, but the SX70 works well with peephole or screen.

      Judging by my experience with the SX60, I do not expect this camera to be an all-weather, any-abuse device (get an Olympus TG Tough for that) -- I damaged my SX60 by using it unprotected in dripping-wet humidity, and eventually the image-stabilization function went crazy and had to be disabled. That said, I do expect the SX70 to be reasonably sturdy under considerate usage (though I notice that the barrel holding the zoom is plastic on the SX70 instead of aluminum as on the SX60).

      The camera has the standard threaded socket for a tripod mount, though if the tripod requires a plastic shoe to attach to the camera then the shoe will block battery-and-SD card access. There is a jack for an external mic (necessary if shooting multimedia outdoors, as the internal mic loves wind noise). There are also ports for USB and HDMI.

      The supplier shipped the camera along with one battery, a battery charger, a shoulder strap, and a lens cap. It did not have an owner's manual; that can be downloaded in PDF online.

      Edit: On my second outing with the camera I found that taking the lens cap off sometimes pulled the small plastic ring around the lens off as well (this is the ring marked "Canon zoom lens 65 X 15"). Reattaching the ring is not difficult but requires a small blade to press the last of the three tabs into place. I put tiny dab of cyanoacrylate glue under the ring, reinserted it, and am hopeful that this prevents the problem.

      We bought this camera for a safari we were planning to take this fall. Unfortunately, that had to be delayed. On the plus side this is giving me more time to learn the camera. I’ve been very impressed with the zoom capabilities and I’ve gotten some delightful pictures of butterflies on the neighbor’s bushes and hummingbirds on our feeders. The camera is pretty quick to learn and the auto feature works well. My only complaint is I wish it worked better in lower light conditions, especially on high speed shots, but I know that the shutter speed/iso trade off is always a challenge, especially in a fixed lens camera. So th at is what I am working on most, seeing what settings will work at dusk and dawn and how slow I will have to make the shutter speed recognizing that I will sacrifice the stop action effects that a high shutter can get me.

      I use this camera for my home inspection business. The ONLY complaint I have with this series of camera is the flash. The wiring, I think, wears out over time.

      I got it brand new for a reason. I also own other Canon products that are old and still going. You'd think any camera over $500 that's brand new would work, right? I wasn't expecting mind blowing pictures for that amount, but I wanted something better than my Canon PowerShot SX720 HS (which was cheaper, a few years old, has been through desert and ocean trips, abused, and still works). First day, I was pretty happy with the camera. Booted right up. Zoom was nice. Having a screen and viewfinder was nice. Read the manual to help guide me through what was what and set up. Zero problems. So I made sure it had the latest firmware update, made sure everything was working, turned it off, and I was going to really test it out the next day so I made sure the battery it came with was fully charged. 2nd day, booted it up and started taking pictures. Soon after the screen started acting up in different ways (lines, blurring, miscolored screen), the camera froze, and then shut down. Odd, so I started making going through all the trouble shooting procedures. I followed one video's suggestion and it worked. Took pictures with no problem. Next day, it acted like day #2 all over again. I then ordered a new Canon battery for it and new SD card like so many videos and forums suggested thinking maybe I could use the first trick but with new items just in case something was corrupted. Didn't work. I've been trying everything to get it to turn back on just to get the zoom lens retracted and it still doesn't want to turn on. I really wanted this camera to come back to life b/c I really liked it when it worked.

      I'm highly disappointed at the quality control for Canon at this point. Returning item.

So I made sure it had the latest firmware update, made sure everything was working, turned it off, and I was going to really test it out the next day so I made sure the battery it came with was fully charged. 2nd day, booted it up and started taking pictures. Soon after the screen started acting up in different ways (lines, blurring, miscolored screen), the camera froze, and then shut down. Odd, so I started making going through all the trouble shooting procedures. I followed one video's suggestion and it worked. Took pictures with no problem. Next day, it acted like day #2 all over again. I then ordered a new Canon battery for it and new SD card like so many videos and forums suggested thinking maybe I could use the first trick but with new items just in case something was corrupted. Didn't work. I've been trying everything to get it to turn back on just to get the zoom lens retracted and it still doesn't want to turn on. I really wanted this camera to come back to life b/c I really liked it when it worked.

      I'm highly disappointed at the quality control for Canon at this point. Returning item.

      Ótima câmera. Recomendo. Antes, porém, como é um equipamento com muitas configurações, procure entender as especificações para saber se atende suas espectativas. Ótimas fotos.

      5.0 out of 5 stars Best camera for bird photography
      Reviewed in India on October 30, 2020
      Writing a review after 3 months of usage. Firstly, this is not a "dslr". It's point and shoot camera. I bought it for bird/wildlife photography. And I must recommend this camera if you want to capture birds or insects or even butterflies. Zoom feature is simply superb and can capture distant objects at ease. Image stabilization is good within 65x zoom limit. If you want to go beyond that, I suggest buying tripod or gorilla pods. Learning the various modes is so easy and camera adjusts most of the things for you like there is auto for every setting. Finally, if you love birds and tiny objects, this camera by canon is my first suggestion. I am satisfied with its performance in this price range. The only drawback is battery life. I felt charging it quite frequently. But the rest is perfect.
