Canon PowerShot SX710 HS

The Canon PowerShot SX710 HS is a speedy superzoom with a sharp lens, but image quality is an issue at even moderate ISO sensitivities.

Compact. 30x zoom lens. Quick focus. Creative Shot mode. Crisp rear LCD. Zoom framing assist function. 6.3fps continuous shooting. Wi-Fi. 1080p60 video recording.

Detail suffers at moderate ISOs.

Performance and Conclusions The SX710 HS starts and shoots in about 1.5 seconds, which is fairly quick for a camera with such a long zoom lens. At the widest angle it locks focus in just 0.05-second. It slows to about 0.9-second when zoomed all the way...

Canon PowerShot SX710 HS

The Canon PowerShot SX710 HS provides some nice features that make it a good option as a travel camera. It's thin enough to fit in a pocket, while providing an impressive 30x optical zoom range. Image quality is about average in most circumstances, so...

Camera performs faster than many point-n-shoot cameras ; Having 30x optical zoom in thin camera body is great for travel ; Images are sharp in most shooting circumstances ; Fast continuous shot mode ; Minimal problems with shutter lag, other than when...

Some problems with noise at mid- to high-ISO ranges ; Camera's performance slows considerably when making use of the flash ; Larger image sensor would be nice at this price point and would help image quality ; No touch screen LCD ; On-screen menu...

Canon PowerShot SX710 HS Review

The PowerShot SX710 HS is the new flagship model in Canon's travel-zoom camera range for 2015. Despite compact 112.7 x 65.8 x 34.8 mm dimensions, Canon has managed to cram in a 30x zoom lens with a 35mm-equivalent focal length range of 25-750mm....

Virtually identical to last year's SX700 HS model, the new Canon PowerShot SX710 HS takes a few minor steps forward, namely faster burst shooting rates, more Auto Zoom options and 5-axis stabilisation for video, but one major step back, offering worse...

Canon SX710 HS Review

Consumers looking for a pocketable, high-powered zoom camera should take note of the latest offering from Canon. The updated Canon PowerShot SX710 HS comes as the replacement for the SX700 released last year, and while it keeps a few of the same specs...

The SX700 introduced a newer, longer-lasting rechargeable battery, and the SX710 brings this along as well. The NB-6LH 1,060mAh rechargeable lithium ion battery pack offered a manufacturer-rated 250 shots on the SX700, while we don't have battery specs...

Canon SX710 HS review

Canon's PowerShot SX710 HS is the company's flagship pocket super-zoom camera. Announced in January 2015 it's the successor to the year-old SX700 HS. Both models share the same core features, packing a 30x optical zoom into a pocketable body with a 3in...

Huge 30x zoom range in a pocket body ; 20 Megapixels delivers lots of detail in good light ; 1080 60p video ; Built-in Wifi with NFC. Smartphone remote control

No viewfinder ; Can't reposition the AF area ; Screen not touch-sensitive ; Sometimes erratic battery indicator ; No RAW, panorama or slow motion video

Canon's PowerShot SX710 HS is a good, solid 30x pocket super-zoom. It represents a mild refresh of last year's SX700 HS, keeping the same body, controls and 30x optical range, but enhancing it with a higher resolution sensor and greater smartphone...

Canon PowerShot SX710 HS

As before, Canon has fitted the SX710 HS with a short but usable grip on the front, leaving your thumb to press against the mode dial on the rear. It allows you to hold the camera fairly steadily, but don't underestimate the potential for wobble when...

Canon SX710 HS review

The 30x optical zoom, inbuilt Wi-Fi and fun features could add up to the perfect holiday compact

30x optical zoom ; Built-in Wi-Fi and NFC ; Full HD video at 60p

No touchscreen ; No raw format recording ; Loss of detail at high sensitivities

The PowerShot SX710 HS is a perfectly capable camera for those who just want a point and shoot with a long zoom range, but it can't shoot raw files, which will limit its appeal for enthusiasts. A nicely capable camera for those who just want a point...

Canon PowerShot SX710 HS digital camera review - shoot and share your images

The Canon PowerShot SX710 HS is a camera that gives the photographer plenty of options when they take their pictures and also plenty of options sharing them as well. Standout features are the 30x ZoomPlus lens, the 20.3-megapixel resolution along with...

The Canon PowerShot SX710 HS is an impressive camera that produces great results. It would be suited to a photographer who wants a solid point and shoot camera and would occasionally dabble in the manual controls.
