I got this camera for Christmas and took it to New York City for a day. It took great pictures and even better videos with the auto setting. The flash does take a very long time to recharge, but the quality of the photos made up for it.I would highly reco
I'm very impressed with this camera. It's smaller than it looks in photos but still large enough to handle easily. I also bought Canon's accessory soft case (that's listed for the A700) and it fits nicely. A previous reviewer mentioned
I purchased this camera primarily to obtain image-stabilization. I am pleased. It works well, particularly in zoom setting. I have absolutely no problems, although I have not tried all the "bells and whistles." This is my fourth digital camera,
This one is definitely "the little camera that could" yielding some very impressive photos for such a low price. I like the manual focus adjustment in particular allowing me optimal clarity where I need it. Also the nighttime and indoor photogra
might not buy the $1200 dollar Nikon after this one.

I found the Cannon PowerShot A710 7.1 after reviewing many different camera brands, models and capabilities. This camera meets my need for taking "point and shoot" pictures and for taking more detailed and elaborate pictures. Controls are clearl
Took close to 700 images with this camera on a trip to Greece. Used camera for family shots, landscape shots, some digiscoping of birds and macro shots for insects, amphibians and plants. Movie with sound is cool feature. HD CCD would be a plus. And it wo
what a find! I love this camera. Besides the wonderful job it does taking natural light pics, also has many options for creativity. I appreciated the ease of use and small size. It uses batteries quickly so, i use rechargable and keep a spare pair with me
Our first digital died last year and we just recently purchased the Canon S2 IS (from Amazon) in November to replace it. At first didn't really like the quality of pictures we were getting with it. Plus the size was a bit big and heavy for everyday u
Bought this Camera for Christmas for myself. I looked at alot of cameras and read alot of reviews,this camera has a great zoom,and you can add lens for wide angle and more zoom. Canon has a good computer program,very easy to use.You can't go wrong wi
Bought this camera to replace an older Canon S30. The S30 is my only experience with digital cameras, so I do not have many comparison points. Our biggest issue with the S30 was that battery life had diminision and buying a new OEM Canon battery was expen
I bought the camera in November, and I took it on a couple of trips. The IS really works. In Hawaii we took a helicopter ride over the volcano, and I was able to get some great shots of the lava (including some nice zoomed in shots) - they would have been
The Canon PowerShot A710 has met all my expectations. This was a replacement for my Canon PowerShot G3 which is also an excellent camera, but a little too big and heavy compared to the A710. I took this camera on a 25 day trip, so purchased 2 2GB memory c
I love this Camera. It is exactly what I was looking for ! Not bottle nec.
Very convenient, very easy, very good.I bought this Cam in December before Christmas and satisfied with it! Very good IS (really works) and very clear and sharp lens, nice colors. You can get a beautiful pictures independently of your experience.
I really like the camera and all it can do! It was a great price also! Im really loking forward to using it alot in the future. I will be getting the waterproof case also so I can bring it in the rivers fishing with me. The size is great also.(not too big
This camera does everything you want it to do as a 'point and shoot', yet it is very good for any amateur photographer that likes to set almost every aspect of their shoot. It even includes an image histogram showing light balances and many othe
I have been using Canon SLR and DSLR for many years, and I had a Powershot G1 as a backup camera. I bought the A710 a month and a half ago to replace the G1. I am very happy with the A710 and here are some of my feedback about the A710:Strength:1. Excelle
This is the third digital camera that I have owned and it is also the best of the three. I bought it because I wanted to use rechargeable AA batteries; the battery life is very good. The stability control works very well, pictures taken from within a movi
I have loved this camera since the moment I opened it. I bought some of the lithium AA's at the store because it goes through regular AA's fast, but they have not run out yet. I have been using the video feature a lot and the sound is not bad fo
The most important thing first. The picture quality is very good. It looks like they've done something right with the Canon point-and-shoot digital cameras.Don't expect anything fancy; it's not thin and light, it doesn't have 3" s
I was a little worried when I read some of the reviews regarding this camera. After using it extensively for the past two weeks I can only assume they must have been comparing it to a Canon 5D. The pictures are excellent. I have compared the pictures to m
Very pleased with this product. So far has provided everything that I expected. There is a learning curve and I am working on it.
Finally, Canon gets around to image-stabilization. I hope that this feature filters down to the entire line, like Panasonic. This camera is terific, full featured, great images and a good size, not as big as an SLR, but still feels good in the hand
Before replacing our old digital camera, I did research online, checking customer reviews and camera-review websites before I decided to get this one. The deciding factors for us were:- cameras with 10-megapixels appear to be overkill unless you have a re
i just picked up the a710 for a recent trip to tokyo to replace my a70. i loved my a70 for the ruggedness, flexibility, manual settings and the fact that it takes AA batteries.the a710 did not disappoint. it seems a tad smaller and it's definitely li
Ity's easy to use and I love it. I waited a long time for a camera like this and got in line when it first came out. It's a keeper for sure and small enough to go anywhere. The video part of it is great and the software is easy as pie
This is my first digital camera and so far it has been extremely fun and easy to use. Downloading photos to my computer is SO simple, and the quality looks wonderful. I am very happy with my purchase so far!
Bought the camera in early January to take on a trip to the South Seas in mid January. Needed IS for a slight hand tremor, so IS was top of the list. 6x zoom instead of 3x, as on my other digital camera, is a benefit. Just got back from French Polynesia,
I have all Canon cameras. But this is the best Point and shoot camera I've seen so far. I was going to buy a smaller one for pocket use. But after looking at the difference in features I opted for a slightly larger one. It is a trade off between size
I am very happy with this camera. The instant stability is excellent. Also the zoom works great for outdoor pictures from inside the house. All inside pictures are very good.
I bought a 710 when my beloved 700's sensor died after two years (digital cameras do not have long lives, unfortunately).This is a fabulous almost desert island level camera once its limitations are understood and accepted.The general image quality a
zippy performance (thanks to Digic II), very good imge quality, tons of features, great battery life
Having had an early digital, and a really good Toshiba PDR-35 (no longer made)-- I wanted an upgrade to about 35mm picture quality digital. In the past I have had Canon equipment, and trust the quality of lenses and camera. We take a LOT of photos on trip
As the first of Canon's great A series this camera comes with image stabilization and 6 x zoom. Great camera!
Had a Canon A60 and loved it ...Needed to update and checked out several other cameras....Settled on this one and sure happy that I did....Does everything it says and Amazon.com you did a great job again.
Esta cámara toma unas fotos increíbles, el estabilizador mejora el resultado de las fotos.
Obviously this is no SLR - but you're not paying for an SLR. I bought this camera after using a Panasonic Lumix FZ15. I loved that camera but it was bulky like an SLR. I wanted a smaller camera that gave me similar results and the A710 is what the do
I am very pleased with the camera, which I have been using for about a month now. The delivery was very prompt. Even though I do not quite understand how the auto focus works and some pictures were blurred (as a result of wrong focus), I am very happy wit
Very pleased with camera and Amazon. Camera has very good focus. Batteries are great!! Very fair price. Lots of modes.
I shopped around a lot to find the best price for this item. It has many sophisticated features, some of which I am still learning to use. The image quality is superb.
This camera is absolutely wonderful! The picture quality is amazing and the camera is very easy to figure out how to use. I like the fact it has AA batteries so it's easy to replace when you're on the go. It does go through them farely quickly,
This is our first digital camera. We have a Canon Rebel EOS film camera, and love using it, but we needed something for everyday use. We originally bought a panasonic digital camera, and returned it because it lacked the features we were looking for. I go
- great optical zoom- great quality and- great colors.i like it all.
The combination Viewfinder Window and Large LCD display make taking pictures in sun or shade very easy. The Funtion /Setup screen allows fast switching between different Compression and Pixel setting a snap.The picture Quality is excellant. The 6X optical
I upgraded from a Powershot A530 and really like the new Powershot a710IS. This is a fine camera that is very sophisticated but also easy to use. It takes high quality pictures that are easy to save and store. Short of getting a professional (and much lar
After much research ( and printouts of reviews on about a ream of paper) I narrowed my search to 3 Canon cameras. My first digital was an Olympus 3 years ago and I still have it but wanted to upgrade. We were going on a lengthy cruise with potentially gre
We purchased at Christmas and so far works great. Highly recommend!!
Love this Camera!! Works great for every purpose and situation I've put it through. Highly recommend!! I've had my work purchase several based on my recommendation and they couldn't be happier!
