CANON POWER SHOT A710 IS<Great Camera>.
(david feldman - 10/17/06)Tested under all conditions and with most of the
features: Macro<flash or non-flash shots are
excellent>. Camera is quick and easy to use.
Relatively low resolution lcd screen doesn't creat
a problem and is adequate.
Flash recycle time is rather slow due to two aa
batteries verses four. However, depending on the
distance of the shots, this is variable and at
close range recycles rather fast. Also, flash
exposure compensation has an effect on recycling
time.
All other speed measurements<shutter lag, rewrite
times, focusing, etc. are more than adequate and
make for a pleasant shooting experience.
Movie mode is very good! Background motor noise
exists but is muted and doesn't take away from the
joy of watching and listening to the videos.
I have a sandisk ultra2 card that is 1gb and
would recommend a high capacity and moderately high speed card such as thisCost me 35.00 with
the rebate.
Camera is compact and light weight<not puny and
fly weight>, which is good. Perfect realistic size and weight in my view.
Menu is diverse but intuitive and simple to use.
Access to all features are quick and non-irritating like so many other digicams are.
After owning Many digital cameras over the past six years, I am most pleased with this overall.
