Its got everything ...
(Juan Bourbon - 12/1/06)I spent 20 days researching cameras and finally picked up the 710 IS - had everything i needed 9and some more) - >6mp, Image stabilization, a viewfinder, AA batteries.
Ive spent two days just getting to know the camera - and i strikes me that this has everything. It gives you (if you want)control over eversingle parameter of photography. So at one level - you have (almost) no excuse for a bad photograph with this.
This is my first digital camera ever, and I still intend to keep my Nikon F55...
The flip side of the level of control you have is that - outside of the point & shoot modes - things get quite complicated quite quickly. I have spent about a day reading the manual - and the range of little dinky things to press (and buttons with multiple function buttons) is a bit bewildering, for someone used to a manual SLR ...
Nevertheless, this seems a great camera, solid to the feel too - and I am looking forward to growing to know it. At 330$, it seemed like great value for money too, compared to the competition. I guess in couple of weeks I might post a more detailed/knowledgable review too. Thanks everyone at digital cam HQ, for everything on the site that i used for all my research
