Canon PowerShot A710 IS Review
Digital Camera Resource Page has a review up on the A710, an upgraded Canon PowerShot A700 with image stabilization and another full megapixel of resolution.
The PowerShot A710 IS takes an already excellent camera — the A700 — and adds some one really useful feature (image stabilization) and one not-so-useful feature (more pixels). Despite going up from 6 to 7 Megapixels, the A710’s photo quality remained very good, with noise levels that are perhaps lowered than on its predecessor. When you look at the whole package — from the photo quality to the image stabilizer to the manual controls — you’ll see that the A710 offers a lot of camera for your $400.
In the end they compare the A710 IS to the new PowerShot G7, saying the A710 IS is the poor man’s G7, as it has many of the same features, but it is still a very poweful and worthy addition to the PowerShot line, and I have to admit to being a little in love with any camera that has image stabilization, and the 6x optical zoom is not a bad thing either.
Check out more reviews on the A710 IS.
Canon PowerShot G7
Canon has officially announced the PowerShot G7, the latest camera in the G-series which was last updated with the launch of the G6 way back in 2004. I thought that the G-series was going to die, as it was considered a strange bridge between a high end digital camera buyer, and an entry level digital SLR buyer, which was a quickly closing niche, but in all their wisdom, Canon has come out with what sounds like a pretty solid camera.
The new features of the G7 include a 10 megapixel CCD sensor, 6x optical zoom lens, and hardware optical image stabilization. Canon also decided to drop the G6’s 2-inch foldout LCD screen, instead providing a fixed 207,000 pixel 2.5-inch screen.
The G7 is different on the inside as well, with a Digic III image processor that is in every way better than the Digic II, and provides ISO 1600 picture taking. The PowerShot G7 also has an impressive 1024 x 768, 15fps video capture mode.
“In the PowerShot G7 we have created the ultimate prosumer compact digital camera for the discerning hobbyist, the photo enthusiast and for those who require uncompromising photo quality for business and industrial applications,” states Yukiaki Hashimoto, senior vice president and general manager of the consumer imaging group at Canon U.S.A., Inc. “Faster, more responsive, more efficient and easier to use, thanks to Canon’s proprietary new DIGIC III image processor and a newly enhanced and intuitive user interface, the PowerShot G7 digital camera also offers users a greater level of creative control and flexible shooting options than ever before.”
If you like the specs of the PowerShot G7, you will have to wait until next month to get it, and you can expect to pay around $599.99 USD.
Canon EOS 400D - Digital Rebel XTi
It’s almost the end of Canon’s usual 18-month product cycle for the Rebel XT (EOS 350D) and it has recently introduced the EOS 400D, dubbed the Digital Rebel XTi.
What’s notable in this new model is that it ups the maximum image resolution to 10.1 megapixels, and it includes an ultrasonic dust-cleaning mechanism that prevents dust particles from settling onto the image sensor. The XTi also has a larger screen than its predecessor, and offers better viewing angles and option displays.
Imaging-Resource has a preview, based on first looks at a pre-production unit.
My first experience with the Rebel XTi was positive. It offers more of what you’d seek from a higher-end camera like the Canon EOS 30D at a much lower price. It’s also smaller and easier to bring along, which is no small consideration when you want quality pictures on vacation. It can’t quite reach to the EOS 30D’s ISO 3200 mode (it’s limited to ISO 1600), nor does it have the benefit of 1/8,000 second shutter speed (it’s limited to 1/4,000). But it has something no other EOS has: automatic dust removal and abatement technology, plus a way to digitally subtract dust when a more thorough manual cleaning isn’t possible. This important technology will doubtless make it into other EOS cameras, but for now the XTi is the only self-dusting digital SLR available from Canon.
The reviewer gives a positive nod to the 400D, being an excellent choice as an all-purpose D-SLR (and probably great for novice D-SLR users to start on), and a good backup for the pros.
From what I’ve seen the Canon Digital Rebel XTi will be an excellent take-anywhere all-purpose digital SLR, and will now better serve as a second camera for owners of Rebel XT, 20D, 30D, and 5D cameras who want to keep a second body with a different focal length strapped around their neck. More pixels, a bigger LCD, and dust reduction are great, but faster AF is the true benefit to the Rebel XTi.
Canon SD700 IS Digital ELPH Review
Digital Photography Review has put up their thoughts on the Canon SD700 IS Digital ELPH, a compact six megapixel, 4x optical zoom shooter with image stabilization.
You can tell from their review that the camera was well liked:
The SD 700 IS is, in essence, everything a pocket camera should be; fast, easy to use, well designed and - above all - reliable. When you’ve got little or no manual control the reliability and accuracy of the automatic focus, exposure and white balance systems is of paramount importance, and it is here where the SD 700 IS really shows its mettle; out of the 750+ shots we took for the gallery no more than a handful had any problems at all with exposure, focus or color. That’s an impressively high hit rate, and one that inspires the confidence needed for someone like me, used to endless tweaking of camera controls, to use a true ‘point and shoot’ model.
The camera earns itself a highly recommended rating, and gets 9 out of 10 in build quality and performance. Its lowest mark is a 7.5 in features and value. Some of the negatives of the camera, they list as being pricey, noisy at the ISO 800 level, light on manual controls, and battery life while using the LCD is not so great. After reading the review though, I almost want to go pick on up.
