“The Canon PowerShot A700 is a low priced camera with more zoom than you’d expect in a camera this size — 6X. The A700 is much like the A540 that I just reviewed (with the lens being the main difference), and it earns my recommendation as well.

If you want a compact digital camera with more zoom power than other cameras in this class, then the PowerShot A700 is well worth a look. The 6X zoom comes in handy for occasional nature and sports snapping (though an ultra zoom will get you considerably closer to the action), and the A700’s manual controls let you take some creative shots. Despite a few minor annoyances, the A700 earns an easy recommendation from me.”

Those are the concluding words from Digital Camera Resource Page in their Canon PowerShot A700 review.

The Canon PowerShot A700 adds an array of advanced, enhanced, yet easy-to-use features into a compact and eminently affordable package. The new Canon A700 camera model expands upon Canon’s success as A-series models have captured the number one digital camera position for three years consecutively. Among the featured enhancements on the PowerShot A700 digital cameras is a newly designed six-megapixel image sensor that together with Canon’s proprietary DIGIC II image processor helps to dramatically reduce “noise” for better image quality and achieves ISO equivalent speed ratings ranging from 80 to 800.
