The 870 features a 4x optical zoom, with a 28mm wide-angle equivalent to a 35mm film camera. That's a much wider angle for a compact than many previous IXUS cameras and is more in line with recent advances in wide angles from the likes of Panasonic. It's available from late September priced at £270.
