Canon PowerShot A710 IS Concise Review

 

Even in the 'blink and you'll miss it' world of compact digital cameras the budget-priced 6x zoom lensed Canon PowerShot A700 was a short-lived model; announced late February and replaced in August by the camera on test here, the PowerShot A710 IS....

Good resolution Clean and detailed results across the frame and zoom range Useful 35-210mm equiv. 6x zoom lens Effective image stabilization Fairly light noise reduction means less fine detail is lost at higher ISO settings (though see below) Fast,...

Highlight clipping and occasional over-exposure in bright, contrasty conditions Combined card / battery compartment can make changing cards without losing the batteries fiddly Zoom is a bit jumpy (not enough steps between 35 and 210mm) No dedicated...

Canon's A series PowerShots get better with each generation, and - thanks to the inclusion of extensive photographic control and technologies such as DIGIC II and image stabilization has lifted cameras like the A710 IS firmly out of the 'entry level'...

Canon PowerShot A710 IS - digital camera review

 

Canon's A-series cameras have a long tradition of providing solid performance and impressive but not over-the-top feature sets at a reasonable price. In the past, that has often come with a slightly utilitarian design, but Canon's newest addition, the...

Optical image stabilization; manual exposure controls; 6X optical zoom; usable ISO 800.

Sluggish flash recycling; widest angle of view is 35mm, auto white balance is very warm with tungsten lights.

Canon's A series continues to deliver tons of bang for the buck, this time including optical image stabilization, 6X optical zoom, and solid image quality in a midsize compact camera with a stylish design update.

Canon PowerShot A710 IS review

 

When Canon launches new products, you almost always get a flood of them all at once. They often replace much of the line up in one go. Sometimes the improvements are only marginal, but sometimes they can be really worthwhile. Just before the Photokina...

The A series of Canon PowerShot cameras have been popular for a long time across a broad spectrum of users. Rightly so, as they combine versatility, ease of use and high quality with a compact, attractive design. The new Canon PowerShot A710 IS camera...

Canon PowerShot A710 IS Digital Camera - Review

 

The Canon PowerShot A710 IS couples a 7 megapixel CCD imager sensor with an image stabilized 6x optical zoom lens that offers a 35mm-equivalent focal range of 35 to 210mm -- a moderate wide angle to a useful telephoto. With a total range of 6x optical...

Lens shift image stabilization ; Full Manual control (PASM) ; Vibrant, appealing color ; Good skin tones ; Auto white balance handles a wide range of lighting well ; Better than average exposure accuracy ; Better than average shutter response ;...

Zoom lens could stand a few more steps (14 settings across 6x makes for somewhat large steps) ; Slow flash recycling ; LCD is big and bright, works reasonably well in direct sunlight, but isn't as sharp as some ; Video recording limited by 1GB max file...

Canon PowerShot A710 IS

 

Hope that helps

Very good photo quality, low noise through ISO 200 ; Optical image stabilization ; More zoom than on most cameras in this class ; Large 2.5" LCD, visible in low light (though see issue below) ; Very good performance ; Full manual controls ; AF-assist...

Redeye ; LCD resolution isn't great ; Can only record about 8 minutes of VGA video due to 1GB file size limit ; Plastic tripod mount ; Included 16MB memory card is too small; bundling some rechargeable batteries would've been a nice touch

In a way, the A710 is sort of like a poor man's PowerShot G7. Both cameras offer a 6X zoom lens with image stabilization, a 2.5" LCD, full manual controls, and conversion lens support. Of course, the G7 has a 10 Megapixel sensor, more bells and...
