Gleam’s Playground

Mumpung lagi ada sedikit rezeki, akhirnya kemaren kesampaian juga keinginan saya untuk membeli kamera digital.
Keinginan yang dari dulu selalu tertunda-tunda.

Setelah browsing mencari referensi dan dibantu oleh teman-teman yang lebih berpengalaman, akhirnya keputusan final jatuh pada ‘Canon Power A710IS“. Harganya yang masih terjangkau dan fitur-fitur yang memadai (adanya mode manual) membuatnya menjadi pilihan saya.

Berikut adalah spesifikasi yang saya kutip dari dpreview.com:

Even in the ‘blink and you’ll miss it’ world of compact digital cameras the budget-priced 6x zoom lensed Canon PowerShot A700 was a short-lived model; announced late February and replaced in August by the camera on test here, the PowerShot A710 IS. Aside from a design facelift and a few feature tweaks the biggest - and most welcome - change is that the new model adds optical image stabilization, something we bemoaned the lack of on the A700. There’s also an extra million pixels ( up from 6 to 7MP) and the usual A series mix of manual and automatic features. So let’s find out if the A710 IS a worthy successor to the popular A700, starting, as ever, with the headline features.

The A710 is more than a mere styling re-vamp (although it is a much better looking camera); it’s actually a pretty significant upgrade, with the addition of an optical image stabilization system top of the list (this is the first ‘A’ series model to get IS). The only downside is the slight reduction in battery life (still an impressive 360 shots or so from a decent pair of AA NiMH batteries).
