"Still a great camera after 3.5 years"
Pros: Sharp pictures, lots of manual controls, sturdy
Cons: Small LCD, hard to see in bright light
Summary: I've owned this camera for 3.5 years & love it. It still works great! It took some practice & reading the instruction manual before I was happy with most all my photos. I use it for taking photos for ebay; as well as sharing photos with family & friends. I did have some problems with blury photos because of an unsteady hand, but once I set ISO sensitivity to 400, the photos came out sharp. The only complaints I have about it, is the LCD is small & hard to see in bright light.
Now after 3.5 years, I'm upgrading to the Powershot A630, only because I want something with more MP & a larger LCD. I like Canon's A series for the hand grip, manual options, and durability. I am giving my A70 to my teenage daughter, who's thrilled to be receiving it!

It seems we have alike in that we both have had good luck with our A70's and going for an A630. I did have one stuck lens - the dreaded E18 error - but fixed it myself (read my review).
