So I bought this looking to use it mainly for its feature for webcam use and while playing around with the settings realised how much more potential it has for such an entry level camera, it give you the ability to either point and shoot with the standard settings for delve a bit deeper into controlling a lot of the features that would influence a photo or video, highly reccomended!

Another great Canon camera , purchased the SX70 as an update to an earlier model. Very happy with this product , great zoom and no need to carry a lens , easy to use .

One of the great digital Camera in the market so far.

Amazing zoom. Good pix in good light.

The Canon PowerShot SX70 HS ($549.99) is a compelling argument for why bridge cameras still exist, and, for the right photographer, make a lot of sense. It makes some minor changes from the previous generation SX60 HS, keeping the same lens, but adding a higher-resolution image sensor, 4K video, and a much better viewfinder. It's a solid option for smartphone users who crave zoom power, and for SLR owners looking for a lighter camera to grab when on the go. As with the SX60 HS that came before it, the SX70 HS earns our Editors' Choice award. From Ultra-Wide to Extreme Telephoto The SX70 HS ($599.99 at Amazon) doesn't stray from the standard bridge camera blueprint. It's smaller than an SLR, but shaped like one. It boasts an ample handgrip, plenty of physical controls, and an understated matte black finish. The camera measures 3.6 by 4.6 by 5.0 inches (HWD) and weighs about 1.3 pounds when loaded with a battery and card and ready to shoot. Similar Products ...
