a570 IS or a710 IS? Besides the zoom, what are the differences?
798572
Size is a big difference for me. The A710IS is a bit larger. Also, the top ISO for the A710IS is only 800. Also, I believe the A570IS has video capability while the A710IS does not. I was debating between the A570IS, A710IS, and SD750, and finally settled on buying the A570IS because of it's size, performance, relative ease of use, cost, and batteries.

I've been flipping back and forth between the SD800 and the A710. And, your pics are now making me lean towards the A710. Two must-haves for my first digital camera are a view finder and image stabilization. Just one question for you, cjw333. I noticed that a couple of your motion shots were blurry. Was the stabilizer on? Thanks for sharing your photos. They're awesome.

I don't know the newer model, but the current one is good enough. However, I've sold all my Canon cameras and most of the lens, and switch to Sony Nex system. Just bought the Sony a6000. Its very good. Focus super fast, nothing less than 7D. Just my thought. Good luck with your choice.

I really can't compare because I've never used the A65. I like the a77 and specifically like the weather sealed body. Camera takes great pictures when paired with a good lens.

The web site http://www.digitalcamerareview.com has reviews of both the SD1200 and the SD780 that include pictures taken in low light at various ISO settings. Both cameras do much better than my current Canon (an SD300), but while the SD1200 goes grainy at high ISO, the SD780 goes kind of soft-focus. It's odd-looking to me and I prefer the look of the SD1200. I assume (dangerous, yes) that the SD1300 is similar to the 1200, so I decided to order the SD1300 with the 1X zoom bump-up.

Only the A200, A300 and A350. They all share the same basic chassis, later cameras are different.

The IS function on the A710 will help in low light situations and the 6X. The camera has high ISO but this will cause bad outcomes in low light(noise). You can take better low light pics with IS and set the ISO to 200 or less. If you like the size of the A710 you will get more for your money in the long run. Both cameras are great and inexpensive for what you get. If the extra money is meaningful for you, just get the A540 and enjoy. Even the A530 is worth your consideration. All the A series cameras are real nice, always have been. Go to camera review sites and read the forums or ask. Many people there will be glad to share their knowledge. KenRockwell.com shows how IS will improve your pics. Article dated 9/20/06.

I bought both of these camera's the G7 for myself and the A710 for my father. On paper they are almost the same camera however out of the box there is a big difference. The A710 is a great high-end point and shoot camera, it takes normal AA batteries which can simplify the daily use of the camera i.e. on holiday no need to worry if you packed the charger or not, etc. The G7 has a better image quality. Also there are some mega high level configuration settings for the photographer enthusiast, 1st person and 2nd person flash etc. The A710 is lighter and more portable while the G7 is quite a bit larger and has a significant weight to it. Hope this helps. I bought both of these camera's the G7 for myself and the A710 for my father. On paper they are almost the same camera however out of the box there is a big difference.

Both the Canon A610 and A620 have smaller screens. They also have the drawback of ISO only to 400. The Canon A540 pushes the ISO to 800 which is important for getting the photo in lower lght levels with less chance of camera "shake". The movable screen on the A620 intriqued me but them I really did not see a pressing need for it. The 620 has a longer zoom range, but again the more compact size of the A540 won the day. The A620 takes 4 AA batteries and that adds to the bulk and weight. Again, the A540 won the day because I wanted a high function, pocketable camera. I hope this helps you.

I don't believe there is a difference between other than how individuals name it. There may a level of confusion as Sony will be releasing the new A7r as it's next generation. I have had my NEX-7 for a couple of weeks and am starting to learn how to use it. I must say that I'm happy with the initial results but also will have a lot to learn going forward.

I just purchase the A720 IS from Amazon, the camera uses SD/SDHC Memory Card, MultiMediaCard, MMC Plus Card, HC MMC Plus Card. I just order the 8GB SDHC card and will post results

No, I can't argue with that and now i see it's down to 119. I'd still probably go with the A570IS for 198 though over this tempting deal. It has the Image Stabilization, upgraded Digic III and you get a 2GB card included for the next week or so which essentially knocks 20 bucks off the price.

The A710 has been replaced by the A720. The reason it is more expensive is probably just because digital cameras were more expensive back when Canon decided on the list price for the A710. I see no reason to buy the A710 when the newer A720 is less expensive. I don't know much about the S3 except that it has been replaced by the S5. Because they are similar to an SLR, with a much larger lens than point-and-shoot cameras, the S3 & S5 probably take better photos than the A710 & A720. The big trade-off is portability. Bigger cameras like the S3 & S5 are more cumbersome to carry around. If you primarily want to take photos of family and friends, then you may prefer the A720. If you want to pursue photography as a hobby, you may prefer the S5. I strongly recommend looking at both of them in the store to see which you would be happier with.

One of the differences that i am aware of in the 2 cameras is the a65 has a plastic body, the a77 has a titanium body. That was the selling point for me. Also i believe the a65 does not have the same megapixel as the a77. All in all i think you get more bang out of the a77, the price difference between the 2 was not that much to sway me from the a77. Feel that amazon has a good price on the a77 and would recommend the a77 any day of the week, very happy with my choice.

both the same size. 5T is older model, and 10 fps, I tried it in Best Buy, it's amazing fast, like a machine gun. 25000 iso but only 16.1 mp. A5000 is newer model. only have 16000 iso and 4fps. I bought A5000 because 20.1 mp and newer version and has flash. If you shoot sport a lot, then 5t is better.
