 GREAT CAMERA September 1, 2008
I BOUGHT THIS CAMERA AFTER RESEARCHING AND READING A LOT OF REVIEWS. I DECIDED ON THIS ONE BECAUSE OF THE PIXELS AND ZOOM FEATURE.
I HAVE TAKEN THOUSANDS OF PICTURES AND AM VERY HAPPY WITH THE PICTURE QUALITY OVERALL.
I HAVE NOT USED A LOT OF THE FEATURES ON THIS CAMERA BECAUSE THE AUTO FEATURE WORKS GREAT IN LOW LIGHT AND EVEN NO LIGHT. I USE THE PHOTO QUALITY BATTERIS AND THEY LAST QUITE A LONG TIME.
 Perfect Camera once shutter recharge lag was solved. July 12, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
I purchased this camera a few weeks ago. It offers a lot of features in a small package. I like that. I have a full-sized digital SLR camera, but wanted something to carry around easily in my purse or pocket.
When the camera first arrived, I seriously considered returning it because of the L-O-N-G flash recharge. It would sometimes take 3-5 seconds before the next picture could be taken. It was only after I purchased the camera that I discovered that the A710 is well-known for this problem. However, the problem has been solved. Here's the changes I made:
1) Used high-quality rechargeable batteries. (Be careful of the rechargeable batteries as they lose charge just sitting around. Choose the pre-charged type.)
2) Set the camera on AV mode.
3) Purchased the Transcent SDHC Class 6 8gb SD card offered here on Amazon.com. I just received the card in the mail today, so I immediately put it into the camera and tried it out.
The results were AWESOME. The flash recharge problem disappeared. I guess a large part of the lag time was writing the picture to the memory card. I will never buy a "regular" SD card again!
Wonderful, but the A720 is newer and cheaper now July 3, 2008
I absolutely love this camera. I've taken it everywhere from birthday parties to the beach to an African safari, and have gotten excellent results. And don't miss that the free CHDK hack enables some additional features such as an intervalometer so you can use it for "time lapse" photography. I love that it takes AA batteries so I never have to worry about running out of power when I need it.
I spent $350 for it a couple of years ago and think I got great value for my money. But now the A720IS is available for only $200! What's up with that? I'm going to buy the A720 for myself, and pass the A710 along to my wife (who covets it).
Above average p&s July 1, 2008
This is a very good point-and-shoot camera which also offers enough flexibility for those interested in manually controlling some of the parameters. As such it is a good camera to play with if you're thinking about moving onto dSLR and want to see if you'll enjoy bigger control over your camera settings.
If you want to get a decent battery life, you must use good quality rechargeable Ni-MH batteries. Then, we can get almost 500 shots on a single charge. With disposable batteries, you'll be lucky to get over 50 pictures. While this is a very good camera overall, very slow flash charging between shots is a major annoyance.
Love It! May 14, 2008
There are 3 of these cameras in our family now. We love it! It takes amazing pictures! Great zoom, great everything! Use the settings to take even better pictures instead of always taking photos in 'Auto' mode. Such as, night shots, snow, outdoor, etc - there is a mode for almost everything on this camera and it really works. I love the very short time in between taking pictures before your camera is ready to take another. Also, you can go from off to picture very quickly.
