VERy good first camera
If any of you have been hesitant in getting into photography because of the high price of DSLR cameras I think I have a solution for you. I have been experimenting with some of the point and shoot cameras on the market. I set a cost limit of $500 or less on the cameras to experiment with. Cameras in the price range are often referred to as "bridge cameras" - the step between very basic cameras and the higher priced DSLR cameras. That is in comparison to the more than $2000 cost of a DSLR setup. The first cameras I tested were disappointing. Not so much in the photo quality but the effort by manufacturers trying to pack too much into the camera and much of it did not work smoothly. I don't like gimmicks. All those cameras went back. The latest camera I have been testing is the Canon PowerShot SX70. This camera can be bought for under $500 (you might have to shop around a little to get that price). What was really looking for was a camera I could grab and shoot when there was not time to setup the larger cameras. The two pictures below were shot this morning and the big feature here is these photos are not cropped in anyway. The PowerShot has a very long focus ability which was attractive to me as I shoot a lot of wildlife photos. That of course is good and bad as when extended to the full focal length of over 1000mm it is virtually impossible to hand hold the camera and still get crisp shots like these. For these two photos I braced the camera against the window frame on the car. So is this the perfect camera - no. But for someone who just wants to be able to capture memories without the expense of a DSLR camera this camera fits the bill.

Also, this camera does poorly in night sky photography. I have successfully used old digital bridge cameras for shooting starry nights, including some great milky way shots. The camera this replaced had a fully featured M (Manual) setting that allowed adjusting speed, aperture, and ISO. The Canon SX70 HS limits exposures longer than 1 second to an ISO of 100! Thus, as you can see, with the camera I bought this year, I got mediocre shots of the comet Neowise, even after processing from Raw and using numerous software programs to try to enhance the image. Why Canon does not allow an ISO of more than 100 in time exposures is beyond me! And, worse yet, they have not even responded to my emails about this matter. I feel cheated in this regard, as night photography is one thing I have enjoyed and now I'll have to come up with another solution! It would have been appropriate for this to be noted in the merchandising materials Canon puts out about this camera. I would have purchased another brand if I had known this.
Other than these weaknesses I still find the camera suitable as noted in my original review, but I did drop one star from the review.
ORIGINAL REVIEW CONTINUES BELOw:
I have owned quite a few cameras over the years, including several 35mm film SLRs and am astounded in the increase in quality and features of modern digital cameras. This Canon is no exception.
This camera is useful for birding, hiking, and wildlife photography since I try to pack light and prefer not carrying extra lenses. The advance in technology since my previous camera was made is significant, resulting in much sharper images with better characteristics in varying lighting situations. I have made just a little under a thousand photos since purchasing. The sample photos shown here are among the first 200 or so, while essentially just trying it out around in the yard. There are some differences from other major brands in accessing various settings, (and from my previous cameras) and it is taking a while to get used to that. Also, the Canon software for working with RAW files is different from what I've used in the past, but I like that it has the RAW format capability. I would recommend a tripod for long zoom shots except for bright sunny days, although in use the image stabilization seems to be pretty good when I brace with a high quality shoulder strap system. I also purchased a filter adapter and lens shade so I can provide a better level of lens protection, as well as the use of various filters. I already had 67mm filters that work with the adapter.
I have only made one video with this camera, of a fundraising event, and I couldn't ask for better quality of the video and sound, which was a live musical performance under less-than-ideal lighting. Battery life is not outstanding, but is certainly reasonable. I purchased extra batteries, so that shouldn't be an issue for me.
Another feature I find useful is the tilting screen--I made some crowd shots for an event where I was holding the camera above my head, and it was easy to compose the shot . By tilting the screen up, I can get the camera lower to the ground and compose shots looking up (see the daffodil shown). Without this feature, I would have only been able to guess at the composition.
Versatile Camera but M doesn't really mean Manual
Reviewed in the United States on February 24, 2020
Update: After more than 3,000 photos, I am discovering some weaknesses. First, the wifi connection for downloading images to a pc is troublesome, and doesn't close nicely, requiring a reboot or going in to task manager on windows to stop the service before being able to reopen. It doesn't have a "minimize" feature, so that is a nonstandard app window. Also, connection to wifi is problematic, even with a good wifi system. I've had far superior performance with wifi sd cards. The software looks like it was never finished, and still should be labeled beta.Reviewed in the United States on February 24, 2020

First off, full disclosure: I am a full amateur with a reasonably good eye who basically used just the auto setting and zoom. Pros or those who think they're pros may have additional info regarding other settings. My rating is based on my amateur status and the sad fact that I did not know how to do much more than point, frame, zoom, and be patient.
I bought this camera after a lot of reading for a recent safari trip to Tanzania. It worked beautifully. The zoom was good enough for pretty much everything (the animals cooperated by coming close, ha), though yes, holding steady when at full zoom isn't easy.
I knew the pressure for photos was on me; neither my husband nor older son were going to take many pics—indeed, they just brought their phones—and my younger son had a good but older camera with less of a zoom capability. Fortunately, this Canon did not disappoint.
The only thing I added was an inexpensive shade thing that fit over the lens. Not sure if it made a difference; I just put it on and left it there.
So thankful that I made this purchase, yay!
