Good Point & Shoot with Extras
(pirategal - 3/6/07)After reviewing cameras for hours both in stores and online, I chose the A710 IS. I upgraded from a Sony Cybershot 5MP. I have taken about 200 pictures in different settings using my Sony and the Canon for comparison. My biggest complaint with my Sony was poor image quality with indoor shots. The Canon does much better. Overall, I have been satisfied with the colors and picture quality. I chose the Canon over a few others because it is small enough to put in your pocket yet it does have a few advanced options like aperture priority, shutter priority, and exchangeable lenses. I have not played with these but my dad teaches photography classes and he says having them is a "good thing." I noticed that the reviews stated that flash recharge time was slow. It is VERY SLOW (usually 5-10 seconds compared to 3-6 for the Sony). Otherwise I have been happy with the results and would recommend the camera for people who love to point and shoot but aspire to learn more about advanced settings in the future.
