Hi,

I'm looking to buy a compact travel camera. I doubt between the sx700 and the sx710. I looked on the internet to find the differences. But I couldn't find the correct/complete list.

I know about 2 differences:

  • sensor (16MP <> 20MP)
  • video mode 24p added

Are there more? On some sites I found that the sx700 has no smartphone remote control and no AF active tracking?

I would go for the sx700 because it's cheaper and I expect better picture quality (only 16MP on a 1/2.3" sensor). Except if some nice features/functions are missing.

I also had a look at the Panny Lumix TZ70 and the Nikon S9900 but the picture quality is really worse than the Canons. The Nikon P7800 was another option but it seems to be very slow. If you have other suggestions, please let me know.

Thanks!

I would try to find some comparisons of the images for the two models, I bought a SX600 which has the 16mp sensor and it has way more noise than the other 12mp models I own, so I would never buy the 20mp models.

Here is my thoughts on this after buying the SX600: http://www.dpreview.com/forums/post/55244936
