Summary: Amazing Camera!!
Comment: I've had this camera for about a year now and I still can't believe how great it is. The videos it takes will blow you away. Takes great pictures but I will make one suggestion.....buy a case to go with it. I dropped it after a few months and broke LCD on the back...sent it away to Canon who fixed it for a $100. I soon looked on amazon and bought a case to carry it around in!

Summary: Great Camera
Comment: this is a wonderful pocket camera. The stability control allows me to take pictures in low light. The program feature provides complete control or the auto feature does it all for me. I really like the optical view finder that most cameras omit today. In low light, bright light, or fast moving events, the view finder is a must. The movie feature is great and allows zooming in and out during the movie. Battery life is good and the quality of the lense is exceptional. I can crop and enlarge a picture to see the pimple on a face. The only con is the flash is not very powerful and it takes a long time to recharge. On the other hand, I rarely use the flash. The 6x zoom is magnificent and provides that extra picture composition over most 3x cameras. The controls are natural and intuitive.
I willingly gave up my SLR for this convenient and great performing pocket camers.
I liked it so much that I bought one for our daughter for a wedding present and another one for my wife so she would leave me alone with mine. Best camera I have ever owned.

Summary: Canon A710 IS - all good except the batteries
Comment: I really like this camera, it's use of AA batteries (rather than a custom LiPoly) makes the camera a little larger and heavier but it's definitely worth it, you can carry spare AA and you can get them just about anywhere.
That said there are two things about this camera that could be better.
1: The flash takes a long time to charge and while it's charging you can't do anything *including* turning the flash off. This is really annoying.
2: The camera isn't rechargeable ready. It begins to complain that the batteries are low when they are still at 1.35V. There is lots of useful power remaining in a traditional battery when it's at 1.35V and unfortunately a NiCad or LiMH drops to this level very early in its discharge profile. While I'm a great fan of rechargeables I may have to give up trying to use them with the A710.

Summary: 5 Star Best Canon Camera ever
Comment: Excellent Camera.I can't think of one thing wrong with this camera.I have had the 710 for nearly 1 year.The digi 11 chip is still the best.5 stars.

Summary: Great camera.
Comment: This is a great camera. Battery life is kinda short, but that's the nature of these new cameras.
The whole world is poised for a new battery breakthrough. Hopefully it will come within 5-years.
I like the zoom feature on this camera - 7x.
Not too complicated. It has about 100-wrong settings (ha). Experts can find 200-wrong settings. I do wish that it offered a pixel size betweem 1600 x 1200 and 640 x 480. The larger ones are 800 mb, and the smaller ones are too grainy. A 1024 x 768 option would be appreciated.
All in all, this is a great camera. Very versatile, and very good quality. I would buy it again, and that's the best indicator of a positive review.
