Canon - PowerShot SX710 HS 20.3-Megapixel Digital Camera - Black
- General
- Brand: Canon
- Model Number: 0109C001
- Product Name: PowerShot SX710 HS 20.3-Megapixel Digital Camera
- Color: Black
- Digital Camera Type: Point and Shoot Cameras
- Imaging
- Image Sensor Type: CMOS (CCD and CMOS are the two main technologies used in image sensors. CCD, the older of the two types, turns analog light signals into digital pixels. This conversion happens without distortion, resulting in high-quality images. Newer CMOS sensors use transistors at each pixel to move electrical charges. CMOS sensors are typically less expensive, but also require more light to create distortion-free images.)
- Image Resolution (Display): 5184 x 3888 (Refers to the number of pixels, both horizontally and vertically, used to either capture an image or display it. The higher the resolution the finer the image details.)
- Zoom Capability: true (This function allows for magnification of the subject.)
- Image File Format(s): H.264, JPEG, MPEG-4 (Standardized software format(s) of storing digital images. The type of format chosen for capturing and compressing the image can determine quality, level of detail, and storage space required.)
- Focus
- Autofocus: true (Allows the camera to automatically focus through the lens, rather than by adjusting the lens manually.)
- Exposure Control
- Shutter Speeds: 1 - 1/3200 sec.; 15 - 1/3200 sec.(in Tv and M modes) (The length of time the shutter remains open when the shutter release is activated, expressed in fractions of seconds. The longer the shutter is open, the more light that is able to be captured by the camera sensor.)
- Minimum Aperture: 6.9 (The smallest opening of a lens, typically expressed in f-numbers. The larger the number, the smaller the aperture and the less light that can enter the lens. A smaller aperture creates a larger depth of field, which keeps both foreground and background in focus.)
- Maximum Aperture: 3.2 (The limit to how wide a lens can be open, typically expressed in f-numbers. The smaller the number, the larger the aperture and the more light that can enter the lens. A larger aperture creates a shallower depth of field, helpful for keeping subjects in focus and blurring background details.)
- Self Timer: true
- Shooting Modes: M, Av, Tv, P, live view control, hybrid auto, auto, sports, portrait, smart shutter (smile, wink self-timer, face self-timer) and more (Exposure modes employed by the photographer to control the optimal aperture, shutter speed, ISO, and other settings for capturing specific subjects/scenes. Examples include Aperture-Priority, Macro, and Manual modes.)

- Storage
- Number of Memory Card Slots: 1
- Compatibility
- Tripod/Monopod Mountable: false (A support function that allows the device to be mounted to monopods and tripods for leveling and stability.)
- Memory Card Compatibility: Secure Digital, Secure Digital Extended Capacity (SDXC), Secure Digital High Capacity (SDHC) (The type of memory card(s) recommended for use with the product.)

Q: His long does the battery last? I'm thinking about getting a back up one for vacation.
A: I have found these batteries to last a good long time. I can go out nature walking for the better part of the day, and come home with hundreds of shots from macros to landscapes to 30x zoom and still have battery left. Of course, videos and lots of zooming can wear a battery down faster than standard shots. I think this would be an awesome unit to take on vacation, but I would never leave home without an extra battery & SD card!! Not even when I go for a nature walk :)
Q: MEMORY DISK
A: No a memory card does not come with the camera, unless you purchase one of the bundles from Best Buy. I did, but the memory card in the bundle had such low capacity, that I ended up buying another memory card anyway.
Q: Does the flash have a spring making it adjustable?
A: The flash is not adjustable. The pop up flash is spring-loaded to a fixed position when you want to use the flash. You can keep the flash in the popped up (available to use) position and have flash set to automatic to let camera decide if flash is needed.
Q: How easy is it to see the view screen in bright sunlight?
A: This camera does not feature a view finder either; screen can be difficult to see on sunny days. Some folks in my photography group use a cell phone protector on their screen to cut down on glare; others purchased a camera that has a tilt screen (I'm sorry, I do not know what model that is). As to the camera - I just love it!! I do a lot of macro photography with an add on lens and it takes awesome shots. Also wonderful for anything else I point it at all the way to the super moon!
Q: Is this camera really 9lbs?
A: This item weighs .59 lbs.
Q: Is it easy to connect to computer and upload pictures? Is there a cord provided to do this?
A: Yes, this camera is easy to connect to the computer via the included USB cord.
A: Great. One has to experiment to find how to use best use low light settings. Once that is figured out, the pictures are great. I have some good inside pictures taken without flash, so the camera can be used in a museum. Because the flash has to be raised manually, one can't accidentally use the flash in a museum setting.
Q: Does this camera has date stamp?
A: There is not a date stamp directly on the photo, but the photo is saved with the date and time taken. This only works however if you have set the correct date & time in the camera. When I have copied the files over to my computer, it keeps the date and time assigned by the camera.
