The camera features a good video mode - it records VGA videos at 30fps with sound as AVI files Video mode: The camera features a good video mode - it records VGA videos at 30fps with sound as AVI files. Compared to other digital cameras the Canon can't fit very long videos on the memory card, as it doesn't use very high compression, such as MPEG4. The video mode doesn't let you use the optical zoom whilst recording.

Uniquely the camera can also record 320x240 videos at 60fps. Image Quality: I was impressed by the camera's image quality - the camera has good detail and excellent colour (accurate, and well saturated) although some images did appear slightly soft and could benefit from sharpening. Images have good saturation and contrast, with fairly low noise at the lower ISO settings.

The higher ISO settings of ISO800 and ISO1600 are probably best avoided and noise is about average for a 7 megapixel digital camera. Indoors photos were good, although noise was noticeable in some shots and red-eye occurred occassionally (this can be removed using the new red-eye correction feature in playback mode). Purple fringing was noticed in one of the shots, but wasn't a problem in the majority of shots.

The camera was good at focusing indoors thanks to the focus assist lamp. I did not notice any vignetting, barrel or pincushion distortion. There is a very good range of image sizes, aspect ratio, and compression options.

Auto white balance, metering, and exposure seemed to be very good. The camera gives you good control over image quality with custom white balance, sharpness, contrast, saturation options and other colour options (such as Vivid etc). The video mode is good with high resolution, and high frame rate.

The macro mode is very good, with good detail. (8/10)Everything else (the camera as a whole): The camera is very compact with a stylish and smooth body available in two colours. The camera has a very good 2.5" screen.

The camera feels sturdy and is comfortable to hold. The camera is fairly easy to use, thanks to the mode switch. There is a good layout of buttons and controls, although some of the options may take a little time to get familiar with.

The camera speed is good, with a very good switch on time, rapid focusing time, quick shutter response, quick playback mode, quick menus, and excellent continuous shooting (without flash), although this becomes slightly sluggish when using the flash. The camera has a large range of features, plus a lot of imaging options, such as Vivid colour mode, Sharpness, Saturation, Contrast, Custom White Balance etc. Some people may appreciate the optical viewfinder, however I found it too small to be comfortable to use. Battery life is average to good for an ultra compact.

(8/10)Value for Money: The Canon Digital IXUS 70 is available from around £175, this makes it fairly good value for money for an ultra compact 7 megapixel digital camera (although expect the price to drop over time). There are a number of other ultra compact 7 megapixel digital cameras, such as the Olympus Mju 770SW, Canon Digital IXUS 850 IS, Samsung NV3, Canon Digital IXUS i7 Zoom, Ricoh Caplio R5, Pentax Optio S7, Casio Exilim EX-S770, etc.(7. 5/10) See more digital camera reviews sorted by megapixels here.

Summary: The Canon Digital IXUS 70 / SD1000 is an excellent ultra compact digital camera - image quality is very good with great colour and detail although images are slightly soft. This camera is one of the slimmest Canon digital cameras available and is a camera that you can take anywhere and use in almost every situation. This camera has a lot of options and features which makes it a very capable and useful digital camera, one that could easily be used as a main or backup digital camera.

The Canon Digital IXUS 70 is ultra-compact with a metal body, and scores highly in all of the key areas: image quality, features and price, and is therefore recommended.

I've been pleased with mine (but have only taken one video) I have the SD 1000--and love it; it's so compact I can take it anywhere, no problem. I haven't explored all the features yet (have had it about 2 months) but I did take a video and was very pleased with it--started with a closeup of a little squirrel being bottle fed by its rescuer, then zoomed out to a wide shot of the person caring for it--it's about a 25 second clip, 53.8 MB--since I was travelling and didn't have any way to upload it I didn't want to take more videos and risk using up the card memory. Oh, and the audio is great too--I can easily hear the main caregiver talking as well as a TV in the background (didn't even think about the TV being on, since it was in the next room and my ear had tuned it out--but the camera didn't!) Still (i.e.

, non-video) pictures come out just as good--lots of manual controls if you don't like to just point and shoot! I got it because it received a good review in PC Magazine pcmag.com/article2/0,1759,2105460,00.asp .

Yes Yes good audio and video Sources: Me Video youtube.com/watch?v=y0bYojU9cWQ Example of Quality .

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
