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.
