Re: A series too

Henry,

No, that post was strictly the G & S series because of the way they shared sensors and processors and so had equivalent models.  G6 and S70 for example.

As far as the A series goes, I have three of those.  Two A710IS and one A720IS.  One A710IS was bought new for my wife, the other two were bought used at very low prices.  The used A710IS lives in my car 24/7.

Back in 2008 we went 6to the Galapagos Islands.  On one trip ashore , my wife brought her A710IS and I took my G7.  We took shots of the same animals, and when we got home, I couldn't tell her shots from mine without checking the metadata.

In spite of the faulty design of the OVF, I really liked the G7, and am now looking for a good used one.  The OVF on the A710IS/A720IS is properly designed.
