Canon - PowerShot A710 IS Digital Camera —

I have had this camera for almost a full year and LOVE IT. The A710 IS takes great pictures in all conditions left in fully automatic mode, and can be fine tuned with full manual controls. The only con is that the camera is very slow taking pictures while using the flash, but this is only because it takes 2 AA batteries instead of 4.

This camera is perfect for any beginner to intermediate photographer. It is extremely simple to use and takes pictures very quickly.
