LCD Display quality I just purchase this camera for my son and I love the easiness for him to use (he is only 2). I am a bit disappointed with the display and am wondering if my camera is defective. You can see well the shot you are going to take but once he takes the shot and the view of it is like faded so it is difficult to make out what was shot. Does anyone else have this problem? I am wondering if I should exchange it because defective. LCD Display quality I just purchase this camera for my son and I love the easiness for him to use (he is only 2).

i know you asked this a while ago, but i think that's unfortunately just the way it's made. ours is fairly blurry & requires a bit of explanation regarding what the shot was when he shows it off. he loves it though, only thing he really seems to be disappointed about is the lack of zoom *grin*

THe only high contrast shots have been on bright snowy days and I have not noticed that. What sort of shots have you had that problem with? If I can duplicate them as a test that would be interesting.And about the swivel LCD - it is handy!What are the price ranges of those cameras you mentioned? One of the factors in my decision to purchase the SX10 was the price.

This was my primary concern also, but having purchased it and set it up for both baby and toddler, I find the night vision clarity to be great. 1 camera is a few feet away from baby's crib, the other camera mounted on the wall 8 feet from my toddler's bed and the night vision picture is clear (not even fully maxed out on the adjustable brightness) and I don't have to wonder if I'm looking at a bundle of blankets, or my son. I was actually kind of impressed by this camera, having tried the Infant Optics DXR-5 (which people seem to rave about) and being very frustrated with the poor image quality. I'm not saying it's not a little fuzzy, but it's definitely not muddy or unclear at all to me.

Dear Alejandro: I have onwned my camera for many years and the LCD screen display condition is excellent. It works fine.

Canon discontinued this camera? I thought it came out last year and was the top camera to buy in its category? I am personally very dissapointed in the quality of the video and regret buying this camera.

I didn't own the camera for long. The camera malfunctioned before I could install it. They have little to no help avaliable. The colors seemed to be a little darker,but not washed out. I hope this information is helpful .

Unfortunately, camera didn't work properly (from the very beginning). I did not bother to return it, my fault. My only suggestion, if applicable, buy it locally. Good Luck

I purchased this camera New directly from Amazon and received it 2 weeks ago. So far everything seems fine. But I would like to know exactly what Amazon is "reviewing" so I can feel comfortable with my purchase and not worry about some malfunction or failure popping up in the near future. I am sure many others are in the same situation and would like a further explanation from Amazon. Please Amazon, what gives?

Hey there, I just had this same thing happen to my camera!!! The camera was not dropped or anything and it seemed to just appear out of the blue. One minute I am taking pictures and it looked fine, then I look down and the screen internally is cracked, the outside of the LCD does not have a scatch on it. I am about to send it off to Olympus to get a warrentyl repair, but could use any other instances of this happening as evidence that this is not my fault. Please let me know what you were able to get done. Thanks, Nick

Hi David. Can you explain why so many reviewers have said there are bad problems with visual "noise" at so many settings, and even worse in low light? I really want to buy this camera for every other reason, but worried about image quality. Your experience seems quite difference. I also read a pro review that said all the images were soft/not finely detailed because of the Venus processor's over-suppression of the images. What do you think?

Our camera is still working beautifully; I have not heard whether others have had issues. Good luck!

Thanks for the reply. Eagle came and picked it up today. I am going LCD this time...Amazon really came through with the return.

I have not actually not used this camera for a long time. I couldn't really tell you. I still have it & liked it just have not had reason to use it for some time now. I would actually need to play with it a bit now just to get used to it again myself. Sorry can't really help.

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.

Baku: I purchased a D70 s new. I purchased 2 used D 70 s cameras, one through Amazon. 1. I was pleased with the quality/condition of the unit; there was an instruction booklet, charger - the condition was more than I expected. Now let me tell you what a premier repair shop in Cleveland said. "It is everything you need" talking to me. I have a 35-70 2.8, 80 - 200 2.8 and a 85 1.8 among others. Mike's retired principal has a D 60 and he takes great photos. If you can purchase a D 70 s used ( I assume you have Nikon lenses ), it is worth purchasing. I know, I know the latest sounds like it is a great camera & some people like to take streaming video but, I am a bit of a purist. Mike

I think you may be right Pablo. I did receive my SD750 and to my huge disappointment, the screen is very blurry. I think it's defective but if it's not, this sucks. I'm going to exchange for the SD800. The SD800 has everything I need. The SD870 just has higher MP but I don't care about that.

I know this is someone elses post but I am debating the same thing. I myself am looking for a high quality resolution with the crispest photos out there. I really dont care about any gps feature but whether its indoors or out I want crispness. Mostly I use it for taking photos of my toddler. Any suggestions or help?
