The main attraction of the Canon Powershot A700 is the 6 x optical zoom. This is twice the length of a standard zoom lens. In addition to the increase in zoom power camera also has a number of features aimed at someone who is looking for something more than a simple point and shoot digital camera. These include a fully manual exposure mode. The Powershot A700 is a six megapixel model.
I must confess to liking the Canon Powershot series of digital cameras in general and found that the Powershot A700 defends this reputation when it comes to image quality. The images are very sharp. In fact, this is an area where the Powershot A700 exceeds nearly all other brands. I also found the camera works well inside or in situations of shadows.
Colors are strong without being dominant and well balanced. This helps to achieve a pleasant sensation natural skin tones in portrait shots. Shots and many other everyday is also of Helix well for landscape style type photos.
There is a good size LCD screen (2.5-inch) to compose photos and access the menu. A viewer is also available if you prefer to use one. The Powershot A700 is one of the fewer cameras to offer one.
An advanced movie mode available. In addition to the mode of standard film that allows you to shoot quality of TV films, there is a second type of film can fire. This registers up to a minute of footage in a fast frames by second speed. The advantage of this is that you can then play the movie in slow. It is often used to analyze golf swings and other similar activities.
Although the good things of life say they are free you pay a fair price for the Powershot A700. Canon has set the price level over some cameras digital offer a long 10 x optical zoom. Therefore, I can see that it is a difficult decision for many people that if go for this camera or one a little cheaper with a longer zoom lens. One factor that could work this camera please is the fact that retains a fairly compact way compared to the largest 10 x optical zoom models.
As it was to be hoped that it could take some time to be fully familiar with this camera. It is a step above a basic point and a digital camera to shoot so there are more features to know. In general I think the system of menus use of Canon to be a little more difficult reach deal with other brands.
The Powershot A700 works with AA batteries and stores images on SD cards. Although there are AA batteries which would suggest a set of rechargeable batteries to keep running costs to a minimum of purchase for your convenience.
Plastic instead of metal has been used by the camera body. However I felt that the camera still had a solid feeling. In terms of size is too big to fit comfortably in a pocket. The positive side of this is that it fits well in the hand and the area high in the front grip helps maintain stable camera taking a shot.
Everything was very impressed by the Canon Powershot A700. Offers more than one standard of point and shoot camera. It is likely that appealed to who you are looking for above average picture quality and that will also include the manual controls offers. It's a camera for someone who enjoys photography.
