The Canon PowerShot A70 gives you all the benefits of digital photography in an easy to use package. You can shoot, review, and then share your photos far more quickly and conveniently than was ever possible with analog. The PowerShot A70 has a 3.2-million pixel sensor which lets you print with total clarity in sizes up to 8 x 10. Its zoom lens can bring objects approximately 10x closer (with combined optical and digital zoom). Canon's DIGIC processor works ultra fast to process all the camera's electronic functions simultaneously, from Auto White Balance to Autofocus. It also lets you shoot at a fast 2.5 frames per second, but because it works so quickly, the processor uses less power, so the battery lasts longer.

Other Features
The choice is yours! Choose single, center-point AF for the easiest way to sharp focus. Or use the camera's sophisticated 5-point AiAF system that lets you put your subject almost anywhere in the frame. Both systems ensure precise focus in any shooting situation, whether the camera is held horizontally or vertically.
