I did a lot of forum searching before buying the A710 for a good pocket camera (great belt case camera) to whip out when my big DSLR was put safely away.As a Pro. photographer, I am very impressed with the quality of the pictures the 710 turns out,"BUT" the LCD is so dim, you can't see a thing in daylight.... review »

The A710 IS for the most part is a good camera but the Kids & Pets (action) and Landscape programs are defective. The action program in bright sunlight programmed 80 ISO and gave 1/100 and f 5.6. The landscape program gave ISO 80 and gave 1/250 at f 4.0. I have an A75 and a Rebel Xt both give high shutter...

      I only wish that I had gotten this camera sooner!  I have never had a Canon before, but had heard of their quality, and they are as good or better than I could have imagined.  The A710 IS is a high quality, well rounded camera, that is even easy to use.  This is not a super-slim camera(3.75x2.5x1.5 inches), which I love, so that there is something to hold onto.  It is a little heavier than I like though.  

      The LCD screen is big, so you can really see if you have gotten a good shot or not.  The only thing is that when you are outside in sunlight, you can not see the...

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... review »

I got this camera as a xmas gift, it's really nice, easy to use, take great pictures, it has many different mode you can use, it way cooler than my first sony cybershot. It gives you the option to fix red eye right after you take the picture. I love it, and for my boyfriend's birthday i got him one of the same.

And also the price is excellent

The canon a710IS is a wonderful digital point and shoot camera. It has a lot of built in modes. There is also a manual mode which gives you complete control over shutter speed, focus, aperture and exposure time. There are also special scene modes--color accent, underwater, aquarium, night scene, foliage, fireworks. The camera also takes good quality videos. The photos are very very very                     goood.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                        ...

The powershot a710 IS is one of the best products that i have bought for the money.  It is compact, reliable and takes a great picture.  Downloading the pictures from the camera to the computer was hard at first, but once you got the hang of it, it was easy.  I bought it with the printer and the printer takes up alot of toner, but the pictures come out great.  I would highly recommend this camera for the reliabilty and picture quality.  It is definatley worth more than the price i paid for it. 

The screen is very clear and the quality of the picture was outstanding.  The only downfall,...

Features are similar to those of the PowerShot A700, another camera in Canon's line. Standouts include controls for manual exposure and aperture and shutter priority, as well as flash compensation, which lets you roll back flash output power, and second-curtain flash, which fires the flash as the shutter closes so that moving objects don't end up with trails in front of them when you're using the flash. This happens a lot when shooting cars at night; with second-curtain flash, the headlights end up with slight trails behind them instead of looking like laser beams. Of course, if you like the laser... review »

This camera has great zoom in a decent size package.  It is not too small and hard to hold like some of those newer cameras and it has a 6X zoom which is double what most cameras have in a smaller package.  The picture quality is excellent.  It is pretty quick between picture taking.  The IS is perfect for moving objects or sports photos.  Easy to use.  I took it to a concert and was able to zoom in far closer than any of my friends - they all wanted my pictures!  The rechargeable AA batteries last a really long time if you get the 2500mah or higher ones.

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.

My first foray into digital photography. I'm a 35 mm camera user from way back, and wasn't thrilled about going digital. I read lots of reviews and chose the Canon based on reviews claiming ease of use, 6x Zoom and image stabilizer. So glad I did! I would absolutely recommend this one. Like all digitals, I hear, you need to upgrade the memory card, especially if you use the video option, but that's no biggie at all. I also like the Canon Website for support and downloads.

We bought this camera when our second child was born.  It was an upgrade for a lessor Canan camera.  I love the ease of use with this camera.  The delay when using the flash is sometimes really long.  I haven't quite figured out why it's longer at certain times and pretty fast at others.  I love the big LCD screen.  I love that I can take 2+ minute vidoe clips of my kids.

This is my first camera.  I didnt know much about them but this one is very easy to use.  It only took my a few hours to utilize all the cool features. I love the timer setting to take neat photos of my boyfriend and me.  I would usually give up trying to figure out all this electronic stuff and just let someone else take the photo but now I can do it myself with out help from anyone.

I really enjoy my canon powershot very much. It gave us a lot of joys while we travel to the beach, the park, and the recreation area in local region. It is a great product from Canon.
