Canon PowerShot A720 IS Digital Camera

The Bottom Line: The Canon PowerShot A720 IS is an excellent camera with one exception. Its flash recycles slowly (up to 12 seconds at full power), meaning you cannot...

Review: The Canon PowerShot A720 IS features 8-Megapizel resolution, 6x optical zoom and optical image stabilization. Very similar to the last year's A710 IS (but with higher resolution), the A720 is a very good camera and here is why.

Although Canon...

The Bottom Line: Light/pocketable high quality all purpose compact digital camera. Some minor improvements over A710is

Review: - Premise

The A720is replaces the less than two years old A710is at the same if not lower price: around 250 euro in Europe, 250$ in the US. It seems that even if nowadays 1 euro corresponds to 1,43$ the prices of electronic components in...

The Bottom Line: For parks, beach, or hikes this camera is excellent, light with good quality pictures. Too bad battery life, flash recharge, and low light detract for the total package.

Review: I purchased this camera 2 months ago to replace my trusty but aging PowerShot A620. It was available via a rewards program so I took the chance based mainly on it being a Canon product, 8 Mega Pixels, updated CCD and processor, and lighter then the...

The Bottom Line: For the price, this is a very good choice that will serve well, and won't overwhelm, a snapshot-happy soccer mom, and won't disappoint a fairly knowledgeable photographer

Review: The Canon A720IS stands heads and shoulders above the (three) Olympus cameras I've used - and I found its menus and settings more user-friendly than the two Nikon Coolpix models I've handled.

In the first few weeks of using this camera,...

The Bottom Line: My final recommendation is that buy it only if you have time to explore the many options and learn make the many adjustments it needs.

Review: We just brought Cannon A720IS because we read good reviews on the Internet and also because it has high mega pixel ratio and zoom. It has many options but I could not figure out how to use the many settings and options. It is not very intuitive. My...

The Bottom Line: Good camera. Good for wide range of users.

Review: Please note that this is basically a comparison between the A70 and A720 IS. I purchased the A70 in the summer of 2003. It has served me well until the sensor malfunction (for which there is a "recall"). I purchased the A720 on 12-20-2008 and...

The Bottom Line: Great camera for the dollar amount. Durable and fast enough for those on the go.

Review: Ever have those times where you wish you had your camera on hand fast? When as soon as you power your camera on the action is over?? Well with the Canon Power Shot, it takes only about two seconds to power up and only four seconds to zoom. It also...

The Bottom Line: The Canon A720IS is for the serious photographer, the novice experimenting in taking artistic photos, or for fans of pointing & shooting; It has several options to accommodate everyone.

Review: I am an amateur plus photographer, in that I have earned a photography certificate and love taking pictures. I am not a novice, yet I wouldn't call myself an expert in photo taking - especially digital photo shooting. Having said that, I had come to...

The Bottom Line: Cheap, easy to use, quite capable, the PowerShot A720 IS takes a very good picture and makes you feel like a real photographer even if you really, really aren t.

Review: Canon knows not to fix what isn't broken. Was impressed with its broad suite of features, solid design, and good value. The 8-megapixel PowerShot A720 IS does little to change that formula, sticking very close to the path traveled by the A710 IS...

The Bottom Line: Buy the other version of this camera and you'll be happy

Review: I received this camera as a Christmas present to replace a Sony Sure Shot that had a Sony lithium battery that had challenges. Unfortunately, my husband didn't do a lot of research and bought this one that uses AA batteries ... and a lot of them. We...
