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 makes ...

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 ...

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 ...

Cons: Long write to card time

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 received ...

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

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 ...

Pros: 8 megapixel clear sharp pictures

Cons: slow flash reaction time, card and batteries in same door.

The Bottom Line: I would recommend this for the average user.

Review: This camera is really great for the most part. 8 mega pixels make the pictures crisp and clear. A bit slow flash reaction time to take a second picture. There are many different options. I have not used it yet, but you can also change lenses. Canon ...
