Canon Powershot A710 IS Review by PhotographyBlog

The Canon Powershot A710 IS is a 7 megapixel compact digital camera with a 2.5 inch LCD screen and optical viewfinder. For the first time ever on a Canon A-Series compact, the A710 features image stabilizer technology to help combat camera-shake. Canon have also extended the optical zoom lens to 6x, giving an effective focal length of 35-210mm. Under the surface, the Canon Powershot A710 IS uses the same advanced DIGIC II processor as the company’s digital SLR cameras for fast performance and image processing. There are 14 different scene modes on offer for beginners and more advanced Shutter-priority, Aperture-priority and Manual shooting modes for those who desire greater control. VGA movies at 30fps, a My Colors mode that allows special in-camera colour effects, and PictBridge, USB 2 and AA battery support complete the specification. So does the Canon Powershot A710 IS carry on the good name of previous A-Series Canon compacts? Read our latest review to find out…
