I just got a SX710HS cos I needed a replacement for my ancient casio EX-V8, which strangely took excellent pics! but ONLY in 4:3.

the 710 ONLY takes 4:3 on several settings on the Mode dial.

do all canon point and shoots have this problem?

(I was told it is because computer monitors are 4:3!)

I wanted a small camera with the P,TV Av,M etc like my casio.

suggestions welcome

thanks all

Doesn't it allow 3:2 in P mode?
