Canon PowerShot A70 prices and specs
The PowerShot A70 was produced on Feb 27, 2003. For today the cheapest price for the camera is 209.99
The PowerShot A70 belongs to the category of compact cameras. Its main advantage is a small size: the photographer can take it anywhere with himself easily. The camera is equipped with various automatic modes but you won't take pictures of the same perfect quality in comparison to DSLR cameras.
The camera can shoot images at 3 megapixels highest resolution. But if you want to get better photo quality the more important specification is a sensor size. This camera has a 1/2.7' (5.312 x 3.984 mm) sensor which means that the camera will shoot images with not so high quality as cameras with larger sensors but instead it is more portable. But if you want to capture images of the professional quality check Leica M Monochrom (Typ 246).
The camera has max shutter speed of 1/2000 sec. It is an average shutter speed that is rather good for shooting action images of a very good quality. The camera can even shoot videos but the max resolution is not very high - 640 x 480.
The lens is built into the camera and the camera owner can't switch it. The lens has low 3x optical zoom.
