DPInterface have posted a review of the Canon PowerShot A700 digital camera.

Despite being a very compact digital camera, the PowerShot A700 features an unusually powerful 6x optical zoom lens, 6 megapixel resolution and a large 2.5 inch LCD screen. Instead of the often found battery packs in this camera class, the PowerShot A700 draws its power from 2 AA type batteries which are easy to replace while travelling on the road. And finally, the A700 not only offers automatic and scene mode exposure control, but also a fully manual mode for greater control of the image taking process.

The review results:
“The Canon PowerShot A700 has everything an entry-level budget camera should have and more. Its two main features - 6x optical zoom and full manual controls - set it apart from competition. […]
A 2.5 inch LCD with good visibility sits at the back of the A700. Despite that, it has fairly low resolution and does not rotate. Having a big LCD doesn’t mean high power consumption; in fact the A700 has great battery life!
Some other nice things about the A700 include unlimited continuous shooting at 2 FPS, unlimited VGA 30 FPS movies, good image quality and noise control. For some added fun and creativity, there’s My Colors/photo effect post-processing that can be performed in the camera during playback. […]
So it all boils down to this: the Canon PowerShot A700 is a great budget camera ($350) with 6 megapixels, 6x optical zoom and full manual controls. It’s perfect for almost every condition but as I said many times, if you’re doing low-light telephoto shots, you might want to reconsider.”
