Review posted 10/8/2007 Click to take a QTVR tour of the A720IS The PowerShot A720 IS digital camera is designed to make capturing and preserving memories fast, fun and easy. The upgraded 8.0-megapixel resolution and Canon's Optical Image Stabilization technology ensure that images are sharp
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 World, (or even in the Canon range), but it does a little bit of everything and gives a good degree of control over what the camera is doing, if you want it. This focus on making small cameras that do their job well has seen Canon dominate this sector of the market for some time so it will be interesting to see if the A720 IS does anything to upset this situation. The specification highlights are:
Another home run for Canon, while the PowerShot A720 IS isn't perfect it is pretty close and it's combination of sharp, vibrant pictures, speedy operation and manual shooting modes is sure to please a variety of consumers.

Canon PowerShot A720 IS (Compact Camera): 5 out of 5 stars on Australia's largest opinion site ProductReview.com.au.
The Canon PowerShot A720 IS is generally seen as the “big brother” to the PowerShot A710 IS that I have owned for several years now. However, ...
Canon is sticking to what works in its PowerShot A720 IS. Mostly similar to its older A710 IS sibling, it strikes a less hefty pose, but more importantly, this camera improves in the areas of face detection and autoexposure. With a complement of manual exposure controls, old is made new again
