Digital Camera Review has a new review of the 6 megapixel Canon PowerShot A700 and they write - “I enjoyed using the A700. It’s a very easy camera to just carry around to pull out to grab a quick snapshot. The image quality is excellent and having the 6x optical zoom is, in my opinion, worth the extra $50 compared to the Canon Powershot A540. Flash performance (except for cycle time) was good and battery life was average, so make sure you carry a spare set of batteries. I would have liked to see more resolution in the LCD, but it’s not a deal breaker. If you’re looking for a digital camera that’s easy to use, takes great pictures, and has a little more zoom, I highly recommend the Canon Powershot A700.”
