Canon Powershot S70 Digital Camera {7.1MP}

The Canon Powershot S70, a stylish dark metallic and black two-tone body with elegant chrome accents has a smooth-sliding lens cover that acts as an on-off switch. A redesigned control layout on the rear of the camera replaces the multi-controller found on previous S-series models with separate controls for zooming and menu selection, making the S70 camera easier to use. Canon has also upgraded the LCD monitor with an animated menu navigation system that makes it easier to select custom settings and other adjustments.
