[Diab10]

Hello, what photo do u reccomend between theese two? Wich one has better sensor, 10 mp has 1/1.8", a 8mpx one has 1/2.5" - wich one is better and what do theese numbers mean :roll:. More mpx or better optics/zoom?
Can anyone who used theese cameras tell me more about them? Thanx.

I'd go with the A710 IS. IS is a real nice feature to have and it has a bigger sensor and 7MPshould be more than sufficient. Here's a link to both cameras side by side and you can also click the link to the owners opinions from there.

I believe the 640's sensor is larger according to the comparison. I think a (1/1.8 ) is larger than (1/2.5).
