Canon Digital Ixus 860IS / PowerShot SD870 IS Digital Elph Gordon Laing, November 2007
   
Canon Digital Ixus 860IS / PowerShot SD870 IS video tour

We're pleased to present a short video tour of the Canon Digital Ixus 860IS / PowerShot SD870 IS. This demonstrates the camera's design, coverage, image stabilisation and menu system.

There's no need to download any new software - just press the play button in the middle of the screen below and wait for the video to start; you may need to press the button twice. The quality and any delay before playing may vary depending on your internet connection.
