Canon PowerShot A710 IS Digital Camera Review

The new PowerShot A710 IS is the flagship model for Canon’s mid-market A series. It has an impressive specification, featuring a 6x zoom lens, 2.5in LCD screen, 7.1 megapixels and optical image stabilisation. It also has an impressive price tag, with an RRP of £349.99, although it is available online for as little as £225.49 if you shop around.

It’s certainly an impressive looking thing, bristling with enough buttons, dials and switches to satisfy even the most demanding gadget freak. It’s quite a large camera as compacts go, certainly too big for most pockets, and it’s heavy too. With a couple of standard AA batteries on board it tips the scales at over 250g. It must have a core of solid neutronium or something, because the case is made of plastic, and not particularly solid plastic either.
