Canon - PowerShot A710 IS Digital Camera —

This is a great little camera with a big plus for the image stabilization. I love the camera's awesome images with one minor exception: nasty red eye! Yes, I have it set to adjust for red eye with the preflash, but often times that really doesn't have much of an impact. I was told by a professional photographer the problem is in the camera's design. From what he said, the flash is too close to the lens so that it cannot adjust fast enough to account for the red eye. I am CONSTANTLY editing pictures to take out the red eye. Needless to say, I hate that part. If you really worry about red eye, look elsewhere...
