- Perfect camera for most uses!
I'm picky when it comes to cameras. When I was looking to replace my old Olympus c3000 (now about 6 yrs old I think) I researched very carefully what camera to buy. I decided on the a710 and have been very happy. There are a lot more in depth reviews available (check dcresource.com for more info) but here is a summary of my thought:

Downsides:
-weak flash
-no forcing flash in AUTO mode, only flash off, or auto flash. (although you can force flash in manual mode obviously)
-semi-fragile (first one fell 3 inches onto a rock and broke)

Upsides:
-6x optical zoom (for a camera of this size thats amazing!)
-Image stabilization (I love this- I am a believer, I can shoot 1/15 or even 1/10 and get clear photos about half of the time)
-one-hand control (I backpack a lot, and usually have my hiking poles in the other hand, yet even on fully-manual mode, the all the controls can be done, with a little practice, with the same hand that is holding the camera)
-It takes AA's instead of proprietary battery (I am an outdoors man, and don't have access to a charger all the time)
-The battery life is fantastic (Using 2700mAh batteries, I would get about 650 shots on a single set of 2 AA's.)
-Very intuitive interfaces for a camera of this complexity. (I didn't read any manuals at all!)
-Small (Fits easily in a pocket)
-Good photos (No, not as nice as a SLR, but for the size of the lens it is in the top 10% quality wise)
-Light weight (I am a backpacker. Its only 7.4 oz. I like that.)
-Fast start-up time (It takes 1.7 seconds to go from hitting the power button to capturing a photo. This is shorter than most cameras, and can make the difference between getting that picture of the bear or not)

Over all, I highly recommend.

- Excellent Camera
I held out on going digital for quite a while. However I am very happy with this purchase. The pictures are great. The options are easy to understand. The software is extremely simple to use, but has a lot of versatile options.

- Great mid-sized camera
Easy to use, yet offers a wide range of features. Would recommend to anyone wanting the next step up from a basic point and shoot didgital.

- Fun and powerful yet easy to use
I've been a digital camera enthusiast for several years and this is my third one. I was looking for an Olympus, just because I like the two I've had. I couldn't find exactly what I was looking for in the Olympus line, so after a lot of comparing and studying, I went with the Canon PowerShot A710 IS. The pictures are clear, thanks to the Image Stabilization feature. The 6X zoom is a big improvement over the 3X I have been used to, and 7.1 MegaPixels provide large, cropable images with lots of detail.

I am more than satisfied with what I got for the price. I will always be an amateur and so the SLR is way over my budget. I've come to realize that any camera I buy will be an old relic in two or three years and I simply don't use the camera enough to warrant spending the prices charged for the Olympus SLR of my dreams. This camera serves my purposes exactly and its small size and the convenience of the controls make it my favorite camera for the moment.

- everything great excpet for the slow flash
I have been using canon digital cameras since 2002, and this is my 6th camera. I started with A40 (2MP), A60 (2MP), A70(3MP), A95 (5MP), A610 (5MP), and finally this one, usualy a new one each year. I have never been able to switch to another brand other than canon. They unbeatable features that I could not find anywhere else.
About this camera, the pictures are really sharp, and the IS works real fine, I'll attach some pics to show the IS effect.
battery life, is not bad, although I regret upgrading from A610 which was a better performer with batteries, due to having 4 instead of 2 batt, which also contributes a great deal to the flash recharging time. And by the way, I took really great and sharp pics with the A610 even though it has no IS, so I thought that IS doesn't mean much to me. This is the most frustrating issue with this camera. You turn it on just to catch a moment with your kid, for instance, it jsut kills it by having to wait for 6-8 secs for that extremely slow flash to charge. not to mention after taking a photo, the LCD goes completely black, you see nothing on the screen, why? because, again, the flash is recharging. so frustrating.
But honestly, other than that everything works well in this cameara. Thus if you are using it mainly outdoors, you will not face this problem that much, in fact, outdoor pics are stunning.
Lastly, I wish canon people can read this, which I believe many canon users will share the following complains/wishes with me.
(1) why cann't we have a battery check appears on the camera screen, instead of the "Surprise, I'm dying" signal you get when the battery is about to die? I don't think it is impossible for canon to do that, while in fact all of the panasonic and probably sony cameras do have this feature.
(2) For God sake, why cannot we have the date imprint feature to be optional with all resolutions, instead if being ONLY restricted to the 1600x1200 (2MP) mode? again, it just doesn't make sense to me.
(3) why cannot canon have a separate playback soft-touch botton (like the one in the SD750 and G7), NOT a switch which takes few seconds to change from the playback to the record mode. Again, Panasonic and Sony do have a soft botton for play back in all of their cameras, so if you are play or reviewing the recorded photos, and suddenly you need to take the picture, all you have to do is to softly press the shutter release botton, and it switches itself to the record mode, it is that simple, just like with the big SLR cameras. That's all for now.
