Is the LCD screen clear or grainy? Image stabilization - does it work? Is there red-eye adjustment?

The LCD Screen in clear; the stabilization does work and there is a red eye adjustment. This is an easy to use great camera.

Screen is clear. Assume image stabilization works because I have honestly not gotten a bad picture from it. Highly recommend this camera!

I have the same issue. Its likely that either the LCD is not correctly polarizing, or the display 'glass' (plastic) has a polarization issue. Kind of odd that QA would not catch this.. :(

I don't believe it is.... there are ways to adjust lcd contrast but that's it

D. Barnes is correct. Although I'm very new with the camera, I am amazed at how well the stability worked with telephoto movie. When photographing our grandson's football game, the camera was set to full zoom, and the view finder shown the movie as shaking terribly. I was certain it would be unviewable (a word?). But after downloading, it was quite amazing how steady the movie appeared. Impressive.

It isn't flawless, but I haven't noticed any major blur while playing games or in movies, this coming from someone who games on an old CRT.

Hi Austin, Yes It has image stabilization. It has Pan Smoothing, stabilization amount and rolling shutter correction. Hope this helps. Randell

Don't know if there's a fix(?). Mine has a very clear picture,better than most I've seen.

I have a Samsung ln40b610 and I hate the dejudder processing. It makes motion look so unrealistic and completely ruins the magic of movies for me. There is also still a lot of blur and ghosting, even with the anti-blur setting turned all the way up. I think LCDs are just inherently poor at handling motion. 120Hz and 240Hz does help a little bit, but not really that much.

T.C. Thanks so much for a really thorough and helpful post. I'm far from a videophile, given my age (58) and thus waning eyesight, so as long as I see the screen and it has good clarity, that's enough. The additional bells and whistles would constitute decreasing returns to scale for me given my eyes being unable to appreciate the greater sharpness.

Yes the screen is not like glass. So it does not reflex. I am currently running 1920x1080

Hi. Yes I think the LCD screen on this camera is really good. It's big and sharp and it takes good pictures.

What is grainy? The screen? Then, no. It is a matt screen but very decent to work with.

I recieved my sd870 yesterday and I have the same LCD problem as you have. From people advice, I turn the mode from Auto to manual mode & ISO to 80-100. Then, all the grainy will gone away from your LCD screen. I am not sure why it's happened. I owned serveral DCs from Panasonic, Casio & Fuji, all of them don't have this issues (grainy) on their LCD screen under low light situation.I hope it is a common issue in Canon SD series, otheriwse, I have to return it.

i own one and the screen is matte. i also take photos for architectural/real estate. best if you have monitor calibration tools, otherwise default color settings not that good for editing/processing. i also use my nikon tethered straight to laptop and works well. has built in sd card reader too. only downside is battery life. high performance settings will get you about 1.5hrs work time. power brick is literally a brick so not that portable. overall, very good and reliable machine. i won't replace this for a few years more even with the updated ROG models already out.

This would work fine. The image on screen appears to be about 5mp. And has stability help, so its not so shakey. BUT when taking a photo its about 1mp or less. Great for viewing crap for pics. Should be good for your needs. Its cheap and sturdy. Focus is on the very back, almost missed it myself

I can't answer David's question, but I have one of my own. From day one I have never had a clear picture. There are lines moving through the screen all the time. The darker the back ground the worse the lines are. Thanks

It does have a hard coating anti-glare screen that for me is very effective. With the monitor on or off I cannot see a grainy matte coating.
