A review of the Canon PowerShot A700 digital camera has been published at dpreview.

The PowerShot A700 is a compact digital camera and currently the top model of the PowerShot ‘A’ series. It offers an impressive 6 times optical zoom, a large 2.5 inch LCD display an 6 megapixel resolution.

The results of the review:
“Like every A series PowerShot I’ve ever tried, the A700 offers an awful lot of bang for your buck, and more importantly, is a frill-free but very reliable photographic tool with remarkably reliable focus, exposure and color in a wide variety of shooting situations. If you’re looking for a compact camera with full photographic control and like the idea of a bit extra at the long end of the zoom then the A700 is a fairly easy choice (mainly due to the lack of direct competition).
[…]

In conclusion the A700 is, like the other cameras at the top of the A series range, ideal for anyone looking for a camera that offers real photographic control in a compact and affordable package. If you were considering a 3X or 4X zoom compact camera and don’t have a huge budget then the A700 is - though far from perfect - a nice alternative that has much to offer.”
