    CNET Review

    September 25, 2006

    The Good: Optical image stabilization; manual exposure controls; 6X optical zoom; usable ISO 800.

    The Bad: Sluggish flash recycling; widest angle of view is 35mm, auto white balance is very warm with tungsten lights.

    The Bottom Line: Canon's A series continues to deliver tons of bang for the buck, this time including optical image stabilization, 6X optical zoom, and solid image quality in a midsize compact camera with a stylish design update.

    Review Summary: The A710 IS retains everything that made the A700 a best buy digicam and adds the one element that was missing; optical image stabilization - making an already excellent digicam substantially better.
