The Canon PowerShot A710 IS incorporates the same high-performance 6x optical zoom lens as its predecessor the A700, released in April 2006, enabling a focal length up to 210 mm (35 mm format equivalent).
In addition to being the first camera in the PowerShot A series equipped with a lens-shift optical Image Stabilizer (IS), the A710 IS incorporates ISO HI to realize exceptional imaging performance. While inheriting several high-performance features from its predecessor, including Canon’s high-speed DIGIC II imaging engine and a 2.5-inch LCD monitor, the A710 IS achieves exceptional image quality from its 7.1-megapixel CCD sensor, increased from 6.0 megapixels in the A700.
Despite the addition of an image stabilizer in combination with a 6x zoom lens, the A710 IS realizes a compact and stylish body shape, maintaining the natural cylindrical grip, which fits firmly and comfortably in the hands, that the PowerShot A series is acclaimed for.
