A Terrific Digital Camera

Date of Review:  Jul 15, 2008
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...

Best deal on a replacement for my A70

Date of Review:  Jan 23, 2008
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...

Canon PowerShot A720IS Digital Camera

Date of Review:  Sep 4, 2008
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...

High Quality Photos With Many Options For The Photographer

Date of Review:  May 26, 2008
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...

My First Canon

Date of Review:  Jun 26, 2008
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...

Great camera

Date of Review:  Aug 10, 2008
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...

Its a Canon! Awesome!

Date of Review:  Oct 26, 2008
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...

Great backup or day trip digital camera

Date of Review:  Jan 31, 2008
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...

Better Get a Rechargeable Battery System!

Date of Review:  Apr 23, 2008
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...

Light/pocketable high quality all purpose compact digital camera

Date of Review:  Oct 21, 2007
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...
