Like its stablemate, the PowerShot A540, the compact Canon PowerShot A700 offers abundant manual controls, respectable image quality, and acceptable ISO 800 performance.
A tad larger than the A540 at 3.
The Canon PowerShot A700's 6X zoom range includes a moderately wide-angle 35mm (35mm equivalent) at the short end and a respectable 210mm telephoto at the long end.
Low shutter lag, fast response, the available shutter-priority mode, and a speedy but limited burst mode make the Canon PowerShot A700 a decent choice for fast-moving action and sports.
We liked the Canon PowerShot A700's images, which were very similar to those of the less expensive A540.
