 | Canon Powershot A720 IS - Digital Camera Review DigitalCameraReview.com Published on: 10/15/2007 2:30 PM | | The Canon Powershot A720 IS came onto the scene late this summer to replace its popular predecessor, the A710 IS. This time around, the A720 IS still sports a 6x optical zoom, an increase in resolution (8 megapixels), similar 2.5 inch LCD, and new imaging processor, the DIGIC III. Also like its predecessor, the A720 IS is powered by 2 AA batteries - the signature of the Canon Powershot A line....read the full review | |

5 of 5 Great pictures Monday, February 25, 2008
Mark C. from Minoa, NY
I bought this camera just before a trip to Guatemala. The camera is light weight, easy to use, and takes great pictures. Was this review helpful?  
4 of 5 Great Camera, Needs bigger Memory Card Monday, February 11, 2008
A Customer from Harlingen, TX
No knock at all on the camera for pictures. They need to give you a larger SD card though. You will need to buy one if you want to take any decent number of pictures. Was this review helpful?

4 of 5 Canont Powershot A720 IS Wednesday, January 02, 2008
A Customer from Towanda, PA
Have used the camera for a few weeks now and I have enjoyed it quite a bit. I am just a novice but have been able to take quite nice pictures for my eye. I have pictures of snow, pets, Christmas and New Year's, inside and outside. It is all automatic but if I want to experiment with different controls I am not afraid to. Was this review helpful?
5 of 5 Great value and pictures Wednesday, December 26, 2007
Nick from Cranston, RI
This camera is a lot like a fuji 10 MP camera that I bought for my wife a year ago. this one features a 6X OPTICAL zoom (disable the digital zoom). Easy to access the menus, flash built in no need to push a button to raise it. No case is included... the video keeps recording forever with a 2 MB card that I purchased separately. The video records at 640 x 480, the mic seemed a bit weak as the volume recorded lower than I expected, perhaps my finger was covering it? Plenty of scene modes with aperture and shutter speed priority features. The video allowed to me to zoom while shooting which I was surprised at. It may have been the digital zoom before I disabled it. Very good pictures once you prefocus (as all point and shoots require). At just under $200, it is hard to go wrong for a Canon 8 MP camera.

5 of 5 It works well. Tuesday, December 11, 2007
A Customer from Stillwater, OK
I bought Canon Powershot A720 IS about two weeks, it works well. I love it. The color of this camera is very true. Was this review helpful?
5 of 5 Best of the Bunch Sunday, December 09, 2007
A Customer from Lynchburg, Virginia
This camera does it all. It is everything the Consumer Reports rated it to be, including a Best Buy. The price was more than fair, and the company who sold it to me sent it in 2 days. Very thrilled. Was this review helpful?
5 of 5 Great deal for the price Wednesday, November 28, 2007
A Customer from Greenville, SC
I researched for months all the different brands and models in my price range, the A720IS came up highest over and over. And I was not disappointed. The camera has more features than I know know how to use, but am learning. The only down sides I can see is the flimsy side cover for the mini USB port and the manual. If you want to learn how features work, plan on doing alot of playing on your own. Was this review helpful?
5 of 5 Great camera. Wednesday, November 28, 2007
fjforster@comcast.net from Grosse Pointe, Mich
I've taken over 400 photo's and find them to be uniformly sharp and crisp. The 6x optical zoom works smoothly and well with optical stabilization. I took two ambient-light videos which turned out surprisingly well. Being an old film camera guy, I use the viewfinder a lot, which most small digital cameras have eliminated. The lag time is much improved over my prior Olympus camera. Overall, a great value. Was this review helpful?
5 of 5 Super Camera Wednesday, November 28, 2007
A Customer from Basking Ridge NJ
I was looking for a A710is, I found that this was the replacement camera for that model. My friend has the 710 and I liked it a lot. I was not happy that Canon had made changes but after useing this camera for a while I love it!!! Was this review helpful?
