I got what I had expected.
(Bharat - 6/9/07)As I had researched a lot before purchasing A710 IS I knew pros and cons before actually using it. My decision to go for it was due to (in the order of priority):
1. Possibility of manual control.
2. 6X optical zoom.
3. Reasonably compact for 6X optical zoom camera.
4. Reasonable price.
5. Well known brand.
6. 7 Megapixels
Of course, it would have been better if:
1. There was no limit of 1GB for video recording.
2. The video format was more compact version. Around eight minutes with 1GB is too short!
3. Optical zoom was possible for video recording.
4. Flash recycling time was shorter.
5. Body parts were more metal than cheap feeling plastic.
6. The package included rechargeable battery and charger.
