Big Zoom Deliver Outstanding Versatility30x Optical Zoom (25–750mm)With the PowerShot SX710 HS camera in hand, you'll be impressed at the zooming capabilities of this slim, compact digital camera. The amazing 30x Optical Zoom gets you just where you want to be: down on the field, high atop a skyscraper, deep into a landscape and much more. The camera's advanced technology helps ensure that images and videos are captured in outstanding quality, with Intelligent IS that chooses the stabilization method that's best for the shooting conditions, so images are virtually shake-free in a wide variety of situations.Intelligent ISIt's easy to capture clear, steady images, even in low light without using a tripod. That's because the camera is equipped with Canon's innovative Intelligent IS. The system automatically analyzes camera movement and applies the best shake correction method for the shooting situation – allowing you to focus on framing and capturing your shot. For stills, the system selects from Normal IS, Panning IS, Macro (Hybrid) IS and Tripod modes. When shooting video, the system selects from Dynamic IS, Powered IS, Macro (Hybrid) IS and active Tripod IS modes. Icons clearly mark the image stabilization mode, whether you're shooting still images or video. Still Image Shooting Normal IS Corrects for a wide range of camera movement when shooting stills. Panning IS Panning motion is detected so that IS does not interfere with desired camera movement. Macro (Hybrid) IS Corrects for shift-type camera shake, which typically occurs in macro (close-up) shooting. Tripod When tripod use is detected, the Image Stabilizer is stopped because it is not needed. Video Recording Dynamic IS Effective for video shooting at wide-angle focal lengths, eliminating the unwanted shaking that typically occurs while walking. Powered IS Compensates for hand movement when shooting video at the telephoto end of the zoom range, where camera shake is magnified. Macro (Hybrid) IS Corrects for motion blur that is likely to occur when shooting video while walking. Also compensates for the shift-type camera shake common in macro shooting. Active Tripod IS When shooting video while using a tripod, the image stabilization is active to compensate for slight camera shake. Connect and Share With a TouchBuilt-in NFC (Near Field Communication)PowerShot digital cameras with built-in NFC (Near Field Communication) technology eliminates the need to manually find and open the new Canon Camera Connect app on your mobile device. Simply touch the NFC icon on your camera to your compatible Android™ device, and the Camera Connect app will launch automatically for quick, easy sharing of your images.

Phenomenal Images and Incredible Performance Start Here20.3 Megapixel High-Sensitivity CMOS sensorThe PowerShot SX710 HS camera employs a 20.3 Megapixel High-Sensitivity CMOS sensor, which delivers state-of-the-art imaging performance and is optimized for use in compact cameras. Utilizing a sophisticated light-capturing design, it provides high sensitivity for improved high ISO capture with reduced noise. It is also a high-speed design, capable of rapidly capturing and moving image data to the processor, enabling faster continuous shooting and faster autofocus. Image processing may cause a decrease in the number of pixels.DIGIC 6 Image ProcessorThe PowerShot SX710 HS camera is equipped with the DIGIC 6 Image Processor, which makes several important advancements to image quality both in stills and video. Improved light sensitivity allows for higher resolution with less noise when shooting in dark conditions, and Dynamic IS now detects and compensates for tilt and parallel movement (shift blur) to create video that's virtually free of distortion. The processor also enhances the performance capabilities of the PowerShot SX710 HS, enabling high-speed, high quality continuous still image shooting at up to 6.0 frames per second. And video recording is better than ever, as the DIGIC 6 Image Processor enables Full HD at 60p, as well as MP4 recording. Highly compressed MP4 video not only preserves space on your memory card but also improves playback on mobile devices. Plus, with MF Peaking possible thanks to the DIGIC 6 Image Processor, you'll have a pro-level focusing tool at your disposal.Canon HS SYSTEMThe PowerShot SX710 HS camera gives you the power to capture beautifully detailed, naturally lit images even in low light – reducing the need for flash and the occasionally unwelcome effects it produces. That's because the camera's 20.3 Megapixel High-Sensitivity CMOS sensor works with the camera's latest generation DIGIC 6 Image Processor to create the Canon HS SYSTEM, specifically engineered for spectacular low-light performance. With the Canon HS SYSTEM, you'll experience excellent tracking performance even in low light, and achieve gorgeous still image quality at ISO speeds up to ISO 3200; beautiful low-light shots are possible with minimal noise and maximum detail in highlight and shadow areas.Image processing may cause a decrease in the number of pixels. Sophisticated Video CapabilitiesFull HD VideoThe PowerShot SX710 HS camera is designed to make beautiful, creative video capture easy and fun. Image quality is luminous and lifelike in 1080p Full HD, with selectable frame rates of 60p, 30p and 24p to match the situation and end use. MP4 format, perfect for sharing and mobile devices, is also available. Newly improved Dynamic IS offers 5-axis image stabilization that corrects even the strong camera shake that happens when you shoot while running or walking backward.Short Clip MovieNew Short Clip Movie lets you shoot videos of 4 to 6 seconds as easily as capturing a snapshot; then, during playback, you can apply impressive effects including Normal speed, Fast motion, Slow motion and Replay. Clear Viewing, Easy Shooting3.0-inch High Resolution (922,000 dots) LCDThe large, 3.0-inch high-resolution LCD screen makes it easy to both frame and review your shots. A resolution of 922,000 dots makes even the smallest details clear, and images are viewable even from a wide angle, so showing others what you've captured is easy, too. Super Zooming Now Easier Than EverImproved Zoom Framing AssistThe camera's Zoom Framing Assist function offers a variety of support for capturing excellent long telephoto shots. When you press and hold the Zoom Framing Assist button, the camera will automatically zoom out to include a wider angle of view, enabling you to more easily locate your moving subject. Once you find it, releasing the button returns the lens to its original zoom position, keeping the subject in focus until you're ready to shoot. You can even make zoom adjustments while the button is pressed, with an animated assist frame that makes viewing easy. When the button is released, the lens will return to the adjusted zoom position. Zoom Framing Assist also offers a seek assist function that detects when you're panning (for instance, to search for the ball on a field) and automatically zooms out to help; stop panning, and the zoom returns to its original position. Zoom Framing Assist keeps even a moving subject's face the same size in the frame with a tap to the Zoom Framing Assist function button; the feature is especially useful for capturing the expressions of fast-moving children. The system lets you choose the subject's size: choices include face, upper body, whole body, manual or off, and now AUTO. In AUTO, the camera evaluates camera movement, distance to subject, and the number of faces to automatically zoom in and out to stay focused on subjects and shoot them at the optimal size, even automatically zooming in to find faces when they are too small. Also new, an Auto Zoom feature that makes it easy for others (at a tourist spot, for example) and even children to take a great picture of you: the camera automatically zooms to frame the shot to just the right size. Conveniently, all Zoom Framing Assist functions are also available when shooting video. Rethink Photography with Creative ShotCreative Shot modePowerShot digital cameras with Creative Shot mode help turn your images into impressive artistic photos! Rather than randomly applying filters, Creative Shot mode takes advantage of advanced Canon technologies to analyze the individual scene, subject and exposure to apply any of 46 filter options. In addition to the original shot, the camera automatically produces and saves five additional variations of the composition. Filter choices are grouped into Retro, Monochrome, Special and Natural categories to make exploring the world of artistic photography fun and easy, or simply select Auto to access the full range of effects. With Creative Shot mode, the result is stunning artistic photos that are perfect for sharing. Create a Short Story With Your ImagesStory HighlightsView your still images and video† as a fun short story with the Story Highlights feature on the new PowerShot SX710 HS camera. You can choose to have the camera create one automatically, creating a short video of approximately three minutes according to date, event or people, or you can customize your Story Highlights reel for a fun, unique video. New Story Highlights BGM lets you add background music (choose from three pre-loaded songs) to the clips that Story Highlights automatically generates, for a new level of emotive expression. It's all done in camera, without the need for any additional software. Easily access and enjoy your Story Highlights – simply press the Story Highlights button to start creating your highlight album. The Story Highlights album can be saved to the camera's memory card for quick replay and also shared with the PowerShot SX710 HS camera's built-in Wi-Fi®.† Videos must be shot in Hybrid Auto or Short Clip. Length of highlight video varies according to the photos and videos added to the Story Highlights album. Capture Photos and Video Carefree with Advanced PowerShot TechnologiesHybrid AutoCapture the essence of special days – vacations, important occasions or any time you're shooting many shots in a day – using Hybrid Auto on the PowerShot SX710 HS camera. Hybrid Auto records up to four seconds of video every time you shoot a still image, then automatically joins the day's clips and pictures into a video. The feature also makes sure the "highlight reel" is stunningly beautiful by automatically recognizing the scene and optimizing camera settings to capture the highest possible image quality. The resulting 720p HD video is properly exposed, crisp and steady. Pictures can be withheld from the resulting video via menu settings. Smart AUTOSmart AUTO on the PowerShot SX710 HS camera makes capturing sharp, bright colorful images and video as simple as pressing the shutter button. By assessing various factors in both the background and the subject, the system recognizes 58 predefined shooting situations and automatically selects the camera settings that will yield the best possible results. Simply frame the shot you want, and in dozens of common or challenging scenarios the camera takes care of the rest. Hard-to-capture shots such as moving subjects, night scenes, backlit subjects, and landscapes at evening or on a bright snowy day are instantly and effortlessly captured as "keeper" shots. Smart AUTO makes the PowerShot SX710 HS ideal for capturing excellent quality still images and video on the go. 58 predefined shooting situations for still images, and 21 predefined shooting situations for video.Shooting Modes Manual You have complete control of exposure, selecting both aperture and shutter speed manually.

Fireworks Create brilliant images of skyrocketing fireworks. Fisheye Effect Now you can get the fisheye effect – a classic photographic distortion – without a fisheye lens. Miniature Effect Give images a miniature look with an effect that emphasizes perspective by blurring the top and bottom of the image. Toy Camera Effect Simulates photos taken with "toy" or pinhole cameras, darkening the image at the edges to create a vignette effect. Soft Focus Creates a hazy ambiance that's perfect for portraits and wedding photos. Monochrome Choose from three single-tone effects: Black-and-White, Sepia, or Blue. Super Vivid Super Vivid intensifies existing hues, saturating the scene with bright colors. Poster Effect Poster Effect combines several similar shades into one color, turning subtle gradations into eye-catching, scene- popping contrasts. Short Clip Movie Record a short movie (of 4 to 6 seconds) and choose from 4 playback effects. Movie Record video in stereo sound.

  • Canon SX710 HS Camera - Very pleased with this camera!
Style: Base
I am very happy with my decision to purchase this camera. After reviewing many of the point and shoot non SLR cameras this was my choice. The camera body is not as small is many out there but very compact for what it is capable of and works in my favor having fairly large hands. I was looking for something quick to grab while out in the woods to catch a few of the wildlife shots I always seem to miss with my big SLR camera. The 30x optical zoom was what sold me in the first place. My SLR is just to big to wield around to get the shot. For the same zoom as this camera an entire lenses change out would be necessary. By that time your subject is long gone... If you're not a novice which I am, you will appreciate all of the control you have over your shots in different mode settings. Seems like just as many choices as I have on my SLR in a small body camera. With this camera P-mode is your best friend and gives you just enough of the right possible adjustments for even a novice like me to get a great shot. Even when zoomed to the 30x optical extent or into digital zoom. So far I have had no low light focus issues as some have mentioned. Of course I have a tendency to shoot several shots of the subject. Because IMHO there is no such thing as perfect, even with an expensive SLR. With a 64GB card, I can shoot over the max 9999 shots that this camera reports available so deleting a few crappy shots is no big deal. This camera is exactly what I was looking for to close the gap in my photography and video needs for a compact, on the fly grab and shot with plenty of features. Pros: 1.Unless manually released the camera will default to no flash and shoots a fine photo without flash. Of course it will up the ISO setting which tends to give a slight bit of granulation but well with in an acceptable range in a low light setting. 2. Very good image stabilization even into the digital zoom range. There are two settings of which I haven't went beyond the standard one. The second IS setting should be great when shooting video. 3. Variety of possible shooting modes and adjustments just like your SLR if you own one. You will definitely 4. Fastest I have ever connected anything to Wi-Fi or my Droid phone. Both Wi-Fi to my computer and the NFC to my Droid seem to work flawless. I had prepared myself for the typical process of elimination to find out why it didn't work, there was none... it did work first time on both accounts. Very fast transfers to both the computer and the phone. I was amazed! 5. Easily navigable menus and available adjustments for great shots. I'll post a few photos taken at about 5:30am in low light as examples with various zoom levels, As Is said I am just a novice so don't be too critical :-) Cons: Only one so far and it certainly doesn't bother me but I will add it just in case it may be important to someone else. The battery indicator seems to show full, or 2/3 then drops to nothing. I have found that once the camera has been cycled off then back on, you still have battery for several more shots before it actually needs to be changed. I have seen others refer to this fact also but it's certainly no worse than many other battery indicators on some of my other electronic devices. My company I-phone 4S drops down to 43% then shuts off after another minute. Think of it as a deep cycle battery and adjust accordingly and you'll be fine. I never go anywhere with just one battery. ... show more

  • Great compact zoom for travel
Style: Base
This is at least the 8th digital camera I've had (5 Canons, 2 Kodaks, and an HP). As zoom lenses improved, I opted for larger-but-better zoom models, including two of Canon's (S3 IS and SX20 IS). I have liked the balance of great zoom but smaller-than-SLR size. However in recent years, I have wanted a smaller camera due to size limitations of the baggage I currently carry. After researching for a year or so, I settled on the SX7x0 HS to replace my SX20 IS. I waited until the SX710 came out and bought it just prior to a 2 1/2 week European vacation. I chose it over the 700 due to the enhanced mobile options and higher resolution. I have now taken almost 1,000 pictures and videos on it. Here are some observations in no particular order: * Battery life is fair with the stock battery and good with aftermarket batteries. I carried three (one in the camera, two in the case) and that proved adequate for weeks of travel. I had to charge every few days but never needed more even with heavy use. * Speed is mostly very good. I have review turned on (displays the photo after taking it) which slows things down slightly. Power up is quick. Focus is quick. Shot to shot with review on and having to focus again is not as quick as I'd like, but quick enough that I made no efforts to fix the problem (either turning review off and/or continuous shooting). Only on rare occasion did I miss a shot as a result. * Image quality is good for its size. It is noticeably inferior to the SX20 and S3 in one way that could be important to some people. At the long end of the zoom range, distortion from noise reduction is quite noticeable even at low ISO settings. I have not done direct camera-to-camera comparisons, but my hunch is that the usable information in the images from the SX710 is considerably less than the SX20, despite almost double the megapixles. However, when viewing on a screen (fit to screen) or printing smaller formats (say, 4x6) I think this problem would be unnoticeable. Aside from that one flaw, the camera takes very nice pictures which match or exceed the quality of larger models from even the recent past. * Video quality is excellent for its size. I took video at 720p to save file size (v.s. 1080p). Both the video quality and audio quality were noticeably better from any previous camera I've had, including the other Canons. * Ergonomics are fair. Canon packs a lot of features into a small package. I don't have specific suggestions for improvement, but I do regularly encounter several problems. Inserting or removing the camera to/from the case requires some care to avoid turning it on with one of the multitude of buttons that turns the camera on. The power, shutter, and movie buttons are close enough together to cause wrong-button-pushing problems. And occasionally the back panel buttons (especially the phone button) gets accidentally pressed. * Phone pairing features are very useful. This is the first camera I've had with those features and I wound up using several of them (transfer the images to the phone, and remote control). That was very handy and they're very easy to use after learning how. Based on what I've read about the 700, I'm glad I waited for the 710 for this reason alone. Based on my experiences, I believe this form factor now satisfies the important requirements that previously could only be met with a larger zoom (ala the SX60 and predecessors). Unless you need an absurdly long zoom (more than 30x), and provided you can tolerate the image quality issues at the long end of the zoom, the next logical step up from this is a SLR. An SLR is too big (and expensive) for me, so this camera is my choice. So far, I'm very happy with it. ... show more
