Re: A710 IS Focus Problem?

I actually had some focus problems with my 710IS.Not always,but often enough.I always use center/spot,but sometimes the AF doesn't focus to the right spot.(It depends on ths size of your subject..well it's no DSLR)It happened outtoors,but also indoors.But it has nothing to do with the 7MP resolution.I could get very sharp and good focused pix in the 7MP resoultion.The hit error rate of the AF is a bit too high to my taste,but why should that has something to do with the resolution?

Also it's true that the AF got some problems in macro(esp low light) but thats not unusal for a small camera like this I guess.

The reason for me why I have returned the 710 was the noise and jpg.artefacts.I love to take pix in low light but it's hard to clean the pix(iso 400 and 800).

Anyway,the camera isn't really a waste of money.The zoom and handling are great.The IS does a good job.The price is fair.And when you shoot mostly outdoors the cam is a good choice.The image quality is only above average..outdoors good...indoors,rather bad.

All the best
(like always..sorry for my english)
