Canon PowerShot A700 Details

Editors' Comments

The Canon A700 delves deeply into your shots with a powerful 6x optical zoom, making it yet another exciting triumph for the Canon 'A' series. Just read the reviews and see how much users enjoy this camera. Canon's A series of point-and-shoot cameras is a mish mash of low-end beginners cameras and high-end stunners like the A95 and the A620. The A700 shouldn't get lost in the shuffle of other A series cameras, as its 6 megapixel sensor and relatively large zoom make for high-quality photographs without much hassle. The A700 lines up with the superlative A620 as one of Canon's most attractive mainstream models.

Concerned about crisp and stable images? Check out the all-new Canon A710 IS, which maintains the same 6x optical zoom, but adds a 7.1 megapixel sensor and Image Stabilization, to prevent blurry, shaky photos.
