Summary: Wonderful, but the A720 is newer and cheaper now
Comment: 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).

Summary: Above average p&s
Comment: 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.

Summary: Love It!
Comment: 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.

Summary: great, easy to use
Comment: Easy to use, large screen, the image rotates when you rotate the camera when you're reviewing it for enlarged viewing, viewfinder is great for those time of bright sunlight when it may be difficult to see the screen. Great photos, excellent quality. get the larger photo card so you can use the larger quality photo size and store more photos...

Summary: Great camera - But very poor Flash...
Comment: It is a great amature camera, with great video modes and flexibility - you can get some pretty cool effects by playing with With settings.
it would be a 5 if not for FLASH - it is HORRIBLE. If you are taking picture inside at low light and using flash - well you will only see an object right infront of camera.
Aside from that - my outdoor pictures are AMAZING. Also - zoom with IS is great. Indoor pictures in DECENT light are very nice as will - just change few settings.
