Canon PowerShot A710 IS
Price (MSRP): $400.00
Megapixel: 7.1
TYPE: Digital Compact
|
|
As the name implies, the PowerShot A710 IS uses a lens shift-type Image Stabilizer (IS) system to detect and correct slight camera shakes that can cause image blur. Minute vibration gyros detect lens tilting caused by hand shake. These signals--up to 4,000 per second--are processed by a single-chip IS controller, which discriminates between hand shake and intentional camera movements. The 7.1 megapixel PowerShot A710 IS has 6x zoom, an extensive range of shooting modes, full manual control, VGA quality movie recording, ISO 800 shooting, a slew of photo effects, and a 2.5-inch LCD screen. Overall, we feel that image quality for the A710 IS is quite good for the $399.99 estimated street price.
