Canon PowerShot S70DCResource have published their review of the new 7 megapixel Canon PowerShot S70.

“Overall photo quality on the PowerShot S70 is very good, though it’s a step down from the PowerShot G6 (which uses the same sensor) in several areas.

For one, purple fringing levels are higher on the S70 than on the G6. Beside the example above, the “purple fringing torture test” shot [S70, G6] gives you some evidence to back up that claim.

The S70 (and S60 as well) also have a problem with blurriness around the edges of the frame. These two shots are great examples of this problem. So you definitely give up some photo quality when you choose the S70. Things like the noise level, color, and exposure are quite similar between the G6 and S70, and they are all acceptable.”
