    • Product Rating: 8 star(s) Good Camera.. worth a buy
      by v82, May. 9, 2008
    • Pros: Takes good pictures, has good controls and overall is a good camera in its class
    • Cons: None that I have encountered as yet
    • Comments:
      The camera is very good for normal all round photography to capture the special moments when on vacation, etc due to its compact size. The weight is a little more when with batteries. But overall is a very good camera for its class and price. Can make good videos as well if you have sufficient memory that is :). The LCD is good though is not movable. ...

      If you are not looking for an ultra-compact the A720 IS could live up to your expectations with its nice images, stabilization, and 6x zoom. Only the absence of a wide angle may be cause for hesitation. ...

    • Pros: Picture quality - viewfinder - value for money - red eye correction tool
    • Cons: Slow flash recycle times
    • Comments:
      I like the Canon Powershot A720 IS a lot. Looking at its price tag I think it is a really good buy. It may not be pocket sized, but picture quality is more or less spot on and there are a number of extra features included. The extra length of the lens is...
