1. There is no SD710 IS...it is actually the A710 IS. Both of these cameras are very different in some ways and similar in others. The SD700 IS, which I myself have...is a very stylish looking and 'ultra' compact camera (mostly made of metal, including the tripod mount)...with a 4x optical image stabiliser. It has a very good high res. LCD (173,000 pixels) and has very limited manual controls-it's meant as a take anywhere, point & shoot camera. The A710 IS is obviously not as small and stylish looking (a mix of metal and plastic-with a plastic tripod mount)...it has an extra megapixel, which you probably wouldn't notice-but it has 6x optical zoom, plus the image stabiliser and it has full manual control (aperture & shutter priority modes) It's LCD screen is not as high res as the other camera (115, 000 pixels). So, if you want a very good camera with the emphasis being on compactness, then I would highly recommend the SD700 IS...and if you want a camera with a little more optical zoom and the ability to choose your own shutter & aperture, then the A710 IS might be a better option. I suggest you go to a camera store and handle both cameras to see which looks and feels better in your hands. Check out the reviews below to see for yourself...
