\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

After almost 18 years, I’m finally retiring my Canon Powershot A710-IS Camera. This venerable little photo workhorse has served me for all these years as a pocket-sized take-along camera as well as being available at my office desk for impromptu photo needs in the house. <\/p>\n

The A710-IS is actually a very sophisticated little camera with features such as 6x optical zoom, image stabilization and a host of modes and other features. Frankly, it has survived other small cameras, which have come and gone, that I tried out in the past. One feature I liked is an optical viewfinder, which is largely unavailable among pocket-sized units these days.<\/p>\n

The camera is being retired for a couple of reasons – 1) it had fallen into disuse since I carry my phone\/camera most of the time and use it for those occasions where I may have used the little Canon. 2) I took it up on the hill where the birdfeeders are located and attempted to photograph a squirrel up there, but got an overexposed image<\/a>.<\/p>\n

I will miss the little camera which has already been in the Canon Museum of Retired Cameras and Accessories<\/a> for a long time now. It’s now in the little box where electrical and other disposables repose until the next free dump day sponsored by the Town of Wickenburg.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
