I have an A710. I like it well enough. I love the looks of the G7, like a fine Porsche. But I couldn't justify spending the extra money on the G7, over the A710.
My A710 was an upgrade from my A520. I did order an 11x14 print from one of the 4-megapixel photos on the A520. It was a more than an adequate blow-up, in fact, the print sold at an art show.
SO, I think the 7 megapixel size is more than enough for most of us. The 10-megapixel size could be useful for cropping on the PC. Not needed, but there may a photo in your future, say, of a distant sight (wildlife?) that you could really zero in on and get a decent print with. But if you really wanted to go a little beyond the A710, then I would go look at the A640. It also has 10 megapixels, and is really quite a camera.
The only real surprise to me with the A710: It is bulkier than I expected. I knew that going in (with specs all over the web), but, still, I miss the slightly smaller size of the A520.
