Sometimes you make better pictures with your mobile instead of a regulair camera...

Your comment in the Ease of use section:
"Sadly the Color Accent and Color Swap options seen on other Canon cameras haven't been included on the Powershot A710 IS."
contradicts the specification details given in your review and given on the Canon website. Both of these pages state that the 710 IS has these features.

Hi Annette.

This could just be an oversight on my part, but those options definitely weren't in the My Colors menu (where they have been on previous Canon cameras).

I'll ask Canon to confirm and get back to you.

the colour swap feature of my colour is in the scene mode selection. If you look at the camera specifications.

We've now confirmed that the Color Accent and Color Swap options have moved to the Scene Mode sections and updated our review accordingly.

Is it true that the camera flash akes almost 5 seconds to recharge and that focus is slow in low-light conditions?

Hi

I'm going snowboarding in Austria, and wondering how this camera will handle the cold? I had a Sony Cybershot P72 last time, and after 5 minutes it completely froze up from the cold (froze as in hanging, not actual ice-freezing), and wouldn't even swith on. Back inside in warmer conditions it would work again.

Thanks,

Tass

Can anyone guide me in choosing between NIKON COOLPIX L5 and CANON A710 IS?

Which is a better choice?

Hi Anil,

I've reviewed both cameras and would choose the Canon A710.

hi. I have to replace a stolen Canon A85. I have been told that the A710 is a good replacement as A85 now extinct. Would you say this was a good choice fro a techno-phobe with no need of fancy features - I just need a point & shoot. Thanks.

Hello,

I am hoping to replace a DSC Sony which was stolen and I have always admired my friend's Canon Powershot 540. I am between the Canon 710 and the Canon 630. I mean, the 630 has 8 megapixels but no image stabilization and the 710 has stabilization but only 7.1 megapixels. Which would you recommend?

I have a new Canon A710 IS. Has anyone else noticed light beams on the left side of the LCD. It does not effect the quality of the photo but it is annoying when looking at a shot through the LCD(expecially in low light)while taking the shot & reviewing. Any comments welcome.
