Advantages: Light/pocketable high quality all purpose compact digital camera. Nice software
Disadvantages: Noise already at ISO400, Now replaced by A720is (but price will drop!)

...buy a compact camera from Canon was almost obliged. I have already owned an EOS350 (Rebel XT in the US) since 2005 and I wanted to simplify as much as possible my life: the number of cables I have to bring along and the number of applications installed on my PCs. When a year ago I decided to buy a low-budget video-camera I bought the cheaper one from Canon (MV790) which used the same battery as the EOS 350. Have you ever thought how much things are ...
...say I would not buy Canon products if I would not be happy with their products. I also like Canon internet support, bundled software and post-sale assistance (Italy in my case). - Camera Selection criteria So I decided to replace my Fuji E550 (very good product) and buy a Canon compact camera. So I looked for the professional reviews of Canon cameras on some web sites. These are the features I was looking for: - Light / Small size - when possible ... Read review

Advantages: good looking, 7.1 mp, price
Disadvantages: AA Battery Life poor, Pictures are not smooth

...am a big fan of Canon products from Cameras, Scanners and printers, so I thought this would be a cut and shut case of being a happy user... Having been recommended by the Camera shop and various reviews and bearing in mind my favour of the canon product I was extremely disappointed with the quality of shots, and the battery life of this camera I have both the A300 and 350d as alternative cameras and wanted something that fit between the two and ...
...low light, and battery life...sorry canon no thumbs up from me on this one... in light of some of the competion with the right price tag, could be a good started to move into SLR, although didnt get as far as to get one, but a wide angle addition to his camera is avaiable potentially giving a decnet close up image. As to accessories, no case is included, only the bare essential. ... Read review

Advantages: great picture and video quality, auto setting, lots of settings, easy to use in auto
Disadvantages: battery life, come with small memory card, need to buy case separately

This is my first camera bought just after christmas. I did the usual trawling through reviews and comparison sites for days because I was totally clueless. I think I managed to make a good choice though. I probably would have bought a cheaper model if I hadn't found this one on sale, its worth looking about as prices can vary widely and you might be lucky. I like the camera, the picture quality is actually really good, I have a good printer and ...
...the photo shop. The colours on the pictures are amazing, I have a photo of someone with blue eyes and they really stand out. The pictures are also quite sharp and can be shown off on the larger than usual LCD screen. I received two manuals with it, and about ten others written in other languages, but Ive had an italian speaker check and there is no information contained in other manuals that isnt in the english one. The CD that comes with it has ... Read review

Advantages: Great picture quality, good video capture, looks good, small and light enough
Disadvantages: Small memory card (easily solved)

...the criteria, it was the Canon Powershot A710 IS. The picture quality is definitely good enough, especially if you use the camera outside in daylight. The video is also good, I take films of myself and friends playing football, and the frame rate and quality are excellent, even the sound is very good. I bought 4 2500 uniross rechargeable batteries swell as a quick charger and these batteries will last me weeks at a time (100- 200 shots +) so I’d ...
...considering the cameras size. Zoom was what I was originally looking for in a camera, hoping for 10x. However I sacrificed some zoom for 6x and settled for the lower price and smaller size. I do not regret this decision. The camera also has 4x digital zoom, however using this begins t cause quality to deteriorate for that picture. The card provided with the camera is only 16mb it is very small, but at least it gives you the opportunity to use it ... Read review

This camera has had me and my family buzzing since i opened my christmas present early (naughty i know but i coudnt help it!)

...settings! This camera has 6x opitcal zoom and 4 x digital zoom. It also comes with a good 7.1 megapixel resolution. The screen is also a 2.5in LCD screen. Using this screen helps to show me the full effect of what my picture will look like once its printed, with its clear crystal view it really helps to add to the plus points of this camera. The Zoom lens can also be used when filming to add to your camera & video shots! who could ask for more ... Read review
