This camera is equipped with an approximately 7.1 million pixel CCD. The DIGIC Imaging Processor speeds precise image handling, and when teamed with iSAPS technology, results in the best image control.

Same as PowerShot S60, this camera is equipped with 28 to 100 mm^(*1), f/2.8-5.3, 3.6x optical zoom lens. Compared to cameras with the usual 35 mm^(*1) maximum wide-angle setting, the PowerShot S70's 28 mm^(*1) lens lets you take in more of a scene at the same distance. On the other hand, thanks to the 3.6x optical zoom, telephoto photography approaching 3x cameras is also possible. By incorporating a newly designed, molded, aspherical UA lens--with its ultra-high index of refraction--into the zoom lens composition, high magnification rates with excellent image quality and a slimmer body were achieved.

This camera is equipped with the photographic functions same as the PowerShot S60. This camera can use its macro setting to take photos as close as 4 cm from the subject. The shutter speeds from 15 to 1/2000 second can be selected. When shooting photos in the RAW format, you can now select the resolution of the JPEG preview image that is simultaneously saved in the RAW image data. The Tv and Av modes have added the Safety Shift function, which automatically adjusts settings for an appropriate exposure when shooting
