With full manual control over all shooting settings, you can take advantage of the S700′s hefty ISO and shutter speed ranges to ensure you get clear, clean images.

The Canon A640 is a 10-megapixel point-and-shoot camera that is perfect for casual users who’d like a little extra power in their hands, and it has Digital Camera HQ’s highest recommendation.

The A710 IS is Canon’s first point-and-shoot to offer image stabilization, for reducing jitters and blur in deep zoom photos. When Canon debuted the A700, the 6x optical zoom was a new frontier for point-and-shoot cameras. It was very popular, but it wasn’t quite perfect.

The second camera in Canon’s Powershot A-series to feature optical image stabilization, the A570 IS follows on the heels of last year’s very successful A710 IS. Autocorrecting for hand movement, this image stabilization system greatly reduces jitter and blur in long zoom photos. In addition, the A570 IS brings a couple of Canon’s innovations to the A-series for the first time. First, face detection technology, which allows the camera’s autofocus system to latch onto a subject’s face and keep it in focus no matter where the subject moves. Second is ISO 1600 shooting, greatly helped by the new DIGIC III processor. (continue reading…)
