Canon Powershot A710 IS Review

Digital Camera Review have reviewed the new 7 megapixel Canon Powershot A710 IS - an update to the Canon Powershot A700 - the A710 IS features the same 6x optical zoom lens and 2.5" screen, ISO upto 800, takes 2 AA batteries, but upgrades the sensor to 7 megapixels and adds optical image stabilisation. Other features include a smart zoom that makes sure image quality is maintined with using digital zoom. The A710 IS is available for £191 from Amazon UK:

"The A710 IS’s dynamic range is impressive for a P&S compact digicam and image quality is dependably very good to excellent. Images (with IS engaged) are reasonably sharp, and contrast is balanced - with highlights and shadow detail preserved nicely. Colors are hue accurate, bold, and slightly over saturated, but never garish. Noise management is very good at ISO 80/100 and better than average across the rest of the A710 IS’s sensitivity range."
