Purchased for use in a Hosptial Facilities Shop taking pictures of problems and repairs. Great in low light and close-ups. Software allows for more zoom and clean-up for publication and archiving.

QuickTake:

Pros: ZOOM/close-up pictures are clean and quick.
Cons: None so far!

Product Rating: 8 star(s) Good Camera.. worth a buy

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.

QuickTake:

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 PowerShot A720 IS is a minor update to the A710 IS and is the latest in Canon's popular 'A-series' of cameras offering a strong feature set and good degree of user control at a competitive price. It isn't the smallest or most powerful camera in the Wo

Review Verdict: The A720 IS comes from a long line of successful cameras and, while it is hardly the most exciting upgrade we've ever seen, it does nothing to detract from a popular and successful recipe.

QuickTake:

Pros: Surprisingly good image quality (at lower ISO settings), Accurate metering in the majority of situations, Long lens with surprisingly good edge-to-edge performance, Handy macro performance at wide end of lens, Bright, clear screen, Very simple user interf
Cons: Occasional tendency to ignore (and overexpose) bright regions, Usual issues above ISO 400 due to noise and noise reduction, Low resolution screen, Rather cheap feeling plastics, Plastic tripod mount mounted on far corner of body, Battery life and flash re

The Canon PowerShot A720 IS is based around the previous PowerShot A710 IS model, and a 6x optical zoom lens -- an equivalent of 35 to 210mm, making the A720 excellent for all-purpose photography. It also includes a high resolution eight-megapixel sensor,

Comments:
The Canon PowerShot A720 IS ($249) is an update to the PowerShot A710, one of my favorite cameras from 2006. The A720 isn't a huge leap over its predecessor, though some of the new features are appreciated. Here are the most notable new features:

Review Verdict: photos at the highest image quality setting. So, unless you have a larger memory card sitting around, you'll need to buy one right away. The A720 supports all kinds of different memory card formats, including SD, SDHC, MMC, MMCplus, and HC MMCplus (which
