I'm not sure how many would see this as a deal breaker but the new SX70's do not have a hot-shoe mount. Previous models, SX60/SX50 did possess it. Shooting with the on-board flash will inevitably cause a pronounced shadow in the frame when shot in portrait mode. In some ways I feel this detracts from the functionality and reduces the likelihood of buying a Canon flash. I can only assume the marketers felt a hot-shoe is seldom used and removing it would save them money in the long run. FWIW- I use a 600 EX-RT on the SX50 occasionally and am grateful the hot-shoe was included in those rare cases of use.

Why on earth would Canon use the same model number as a camera Polaroid introduced in 1972? Oh wait, maybe Nikon (Olympus, Pentax,etc) will announce their "Corvair" digital camera (it will probably be unsafe at any ISO)

I did not know Polaroid marketed a camera called a Power Shot SX70HS or Power Shot SX60HS or Power Shot SX##HS, ## being any 2 digit number. Kinda like, one can't see the forest for all the trees.
The Corvair was no more unsafe than the VW beetle and they just finished making them this year. I know, I owned one and wrapped it head on around a utility pole. Destroyed the car but, since I was wearing a seatbelt, walked away with a few bruises.

In looking at the SX-70, I'm disappointed that it appears not better than the SX-50. I've read several reviews and looked at 3 urine reviews. None are very favorable.So I will look for a different camera to replace my SX-50.
