Canon A710 Reviews

In its Verdict Review of Canon Powershot A710, Trusted Reviews Writes and give its verdict “The Canon PowerShot A710 IS is expensive for a compact camera, although it does offer a wide range of features for the money. Overall performance is outstanding, however build quality and more importantly image quality are not up to the standards we’ve come to expect from Canon, and the possible flash fault is damning. The latter may be an issue with our review sample, but as things stand, it’s a bit of a disappointment”.

In its Verdict Review of Canon Powershot A710, Imaging Resource Writes “Outright prolonged applause for the introduction of image stabilization in the A-Series. Canon’s retention of an optical viewfinder on the PowerShot A710, no matter how spare, is also to be applauded. Startup and shutdown are quick and the menu option you need is quickly at hand, too. The Canon A710 has enough megapixels for excellent resolution in enlargements without risking much image noise. The A710’s excellent 6x zoom is impressive, and a great argument in favor of picking a slightly larger camera over those sexy slim cameras, with great corner sharpness and very little chromatic aberration. A variable LCD would have made the Canon PowerShot A710 more useful to me, and I would have appreciated a live histogram, but that’s just quibbling. The Canon A710 is a very nice piece of equipment to have at hand, which makes it an easy Dave’s Pick”.

In its Verdict Review of Canon Powershot A710, Steves Digicam Writes “One of the first things you’ll notice when you pick up this camera and start playing with it is the powerful zoom range. The A710IS features a Canon 6x optical zoom lens that covers a 35mm equivalent rage of approx. 35-210mm. While it does favor the telephoto end, at the 35mm wide angle extreme, you’ll have no problems capturing pleasing landscapes as well as group portraits at family or sporting events. And, the 210mm telephoto end will help bring your distant subjects much closer and offers a great deal of versatility for shot composition. This is a nice piece of glass that helped produce tack sharp images throughout the zoom range. I noticed slight barrel distortion present at full wide angle as well as slight pincushioning at the telephoto extreme, respectively. Purple fringing, also know as Chromatic Aberrations, was very well controlled, with minimal amounts around brightly lit objects“.

Lets Go Digital Concludes that “The Canon Powershot A710 IS is one of the most well-rounded compact digital cameras that we have reviewed recently, offering a great combination of portability, creative control and features. The 7 megapixel sensor may not grab the headlines, but it does offer a good compromise between image size and quality”.

In its Verdict Review of Canon Powershot A710, Cnet Writes “Once again, Canon has delivered a great value with it’s A series in the form of the A710 IS. With its addition of image stabilization, you should be able to shoot a couple of shutter-speed stops slower than you normally would, making the long end of the zoom lens even more convenient, and the camera’s usable ISO 800 setting will let you capture images in situations when IS is not the answer. Plus, for average situations, the camera’s image quality is quite good for the money. Most casual shooters and simple snapshooters will find that the A710 IS is plenty of camera for their needs, and its versatile controls make it a nice spare camera for more advanced shooters, as well”.

In its Verdict Review of Canon Powershot A710, Digital Camera Hq Writes “The A710 IS is Canon’s first point-and-shoot to offer image stabilization, for reducing jitters and blur in deep zoom photos. When Canon debuted the A700, the 6x optical zoom was a new frontier for point-and-shoot cameras. It was very popular, but it wasn’t quite perfect. Though not as susceptible to shaking and jittering as smaller, less sturdy cameras, the A700’s larger-than-average zoom still could have used some support. Well, with the A710 IS, Canon has done just that, bringing back the popular feature set and design fo the A700, while adding advanced image stabilization technology. The IS, the fantastic 7.1 megapixel sensor and ability to take 16:9, wide-aspect still photos, make the A710 IS a truly superior camera for casual users looking for some easy-to-use power”.

In its Verdict Review of Canon Powershot A710, Lets Go Digital Writes “The A series of Canon PowerShot cameras have been popular for a long time across a broad spectrum of users. Rightly so, as they combine versatility, ease of use and high quality with a compact, attractive design. The new Canon PowerShot A710 IS camera is no exception to this. As the uncontested top model in the series, it is sure to please enthusiastic amateur photographers”.

In its Verdict Review of Canon Powershot A710, Tech Tree Writes “The overall handling, operation, and usage is easy and has a high ‘feel good’ factor. The modes are very much specific for the job. It’ll without doubt take a few days (or social events) of getting used to but in the end, you’ll love the results. Camera performance is very good for the most part. Just push the Power button on and the A710 is eager to shoot in just about 1.2 seconds. Focus time is above average along with very little shutter lag. Low light focusing was better than most cameras we have tested”.

In its Verdict Review of Canon Powershot A710, ephotozine Writes “The A710 IS offers something of a middle ground in terms of functionality. The 6x optical zoom is nice, but it’s not a really telling feature, just good to have, and the image stabilisation works well with it. The resolution is good, but other in this kind of price range are now offering slightly more at 8Mp. Then again, for a compact, 7Mp is plenty and more is just overkill. The camera does offer a good deal of photographic control, even though the image quality is little better than average, and it only shoots sRGB as well. However, it handles very well, and it’s small and pocket sized, starts up reasonably quickly and can be used in situations where an unobtrusive camera is required. For portraits, the various flash options are all good, enabling pleasing results with a little effort. While there isn’t one single USP of the 710 that will have you racing for the shops, it’s the combination of good handling, a raft of useful features and flexibility that makes it a worthy purchase”.

In its Verdict Review of Canon Powershot A710, Megapixel Writes “Set to the playback, the DISP. button cycles through three presentations. One simply displays the image file number at the top of the monitor, and its position within the images contained in the folder at the lower left, followed by an indication of the image’s quality and size settings and the date and time at which it was captured. Another presentation provides a greater level of detail about camera settings, placing a thumbnail at the top left of the screen, and making possibly overexposure”.

In its Verdict Review of Canon Powershot A710, Techtree Writes “Aforementioned, the Powershot A710 IS uses 2 AA Alkaline or NiMH batteries to draw power from. We used 2 AA 2600 NiMH batteries and shot close to 350 pictures with minimum reviewing and flash usage while we got to shoot just about 315 pictures with standard amount of reviewing, fiddling with functions, and flash usage. Overall, the battery life performance was very good indeed. An important point to note is that we carried out the entire test for clicking images in a real-world scenario rather than using studio images. We prefer it that way since the camera will almost always be used in such conditions by the consumer and not in a studio to have a more practical and real-life approach. A word of advice, rather than using standard alkaline batteries that won’t really last too long, it is a good idea to acquire at least 2 pairs or rechargeable AA 2600 NiMH batteries and a fast charger as well.”
