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 ...

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, I've found the ...

The Bottom Line: The Canon A720IS is a great buy and takes great pictures.

Review: This is a great consumer-grade camera. It is light weight, sturdy, and takes great pictures and video. We bought this a a replacement for a PowerShot A75 (we also an A410, too). We were taking pictures for my daughter's gymnastics team and had ...

Cons: Recovery time between photos (especially with flash) can get annoying.

Review: I've had my Canon Powershot A720 IS for over 3 months now and I love it. It's very easy to use and takes sharp, clear, bright color photos, and can go almost anywhere--I often carry it in a pouch on my belt, especially on vacation and during family ...

Review: I got this one for christmas and it the best camera i've used!!!!!! Here is a tip if you are going to buy it: I doesn't work well on ISO 1600, but lower settings are AWESOME!!!!!!! ...

Pros: Great price for the money.

Cons: No down falls.

Review: When I was first looking for a digital camera I did not know what exactly I want to purchase. But, then I decided to go with a camera that was not too expensive but also not too cheap. This is a great camera for the price. The pictures come out great ...

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 US and EU ...

Cons: Batteries die really fast, need to buy bigger memory card.

The Bottom Line: Great for the average person. Good price and quality.

Cons: Long flash recycle time; highest ISO settings very noisy.

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 ...
