Default Tripod Mount at *End* of PowerShot! Why?

I posted too soon about how much I like my A710. The A710 has IS, but
still-- How is this going to work, when I press the shutter button?
Does anyone have bad experience with a tripod mount at the end of a
camera like this?

Why? (And, sincerely, why put the tripod mount at the end of the
camera and necessitate all the self-timing stuff?)

Also--since I've never had a camera with IS--what is the difference
between the menu choices "Continuous" and "Shooting Mode?"

Thank you.

I have read your questions and opinions for some time now.

You have just got this Camera which you raved about before you got it. You
are now not so sure that it is as wonderfull as you originally imagined.

You have read all the reviews, and I presume the Users Manual, yet you have
to ask such a basic question about the 2 IS modes.

Do you have a reading problem, or do you just like asking stupid questions?

Because by definition the tripod prevents movement, and in
the absense of *any* movement the IS sytem may "hunt" and
actually add movement blur instead of preventing it
especially during long exposures. If your tripod isn't as
steady as it could be then IS may possibly help, depends how
long the exposure is. Position of the tripod bush is
probably just a design convenience though many
well-respected cameras have had it at the end of the bottom
plate, Leica for example. It's not very convenient if you
use a small wobbly tripod but no big deal if you use a
decent one. You still need either a cable release or
self-timer, no matter what camera/support is used.

Also--since I've never had a camera with IS--what is the difference
between the menu choices "Continuous" and "Shooting Mode?"


Continuous lets you see the effect through the viewfinder -
IS is on all the time. Shooting mode only uses IS when you
actually take a picture; this is supposed to be more
effective and saves battery power.
